The 1st Annual We Love Soaps March Madness Couples Tournament has now wrapped up and GUIDING LIGHT's Olivia and Natalia have won the championship this year. In the finals, they defeated DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Bo and Hope by a landslide."Otalia" has knocked off soap heavyweight couples along the way including Y&R's Phyllyis and Nick, AMC's Angie and Jesse, and GH's Jason and Liz in a battle for the ages. The fans of this couple continue to show how passionate they are about Olivia and Natalia and GUIDING LIGHT. Congratulations on a well-earned victory.
Kudos also to fans of DAYS' Bo and Hope who knocked off top-seeded Robin and Patrick in the Elite 8 round and made a surprising run to the finals.
Thanks to everyone who participated this year. It has been a lot of fun to see these results play out, sometimes in unexpected ways.
As a prize for their victory, We Love Soaps will be playing Otalia content in our "Featured Video" section for the rest of the week - clips, music videos and interviews.
