We Love Soaps March Madness Tournament: Couples

In honor of college basketball March Madness, which kicks off today, We Love Soaps has created the 1st Annual Battle of the Couples March Madness Tournament. Sixteen daytime soap couples have been chosen (see bracket below) to compete. In the comments on this post, respond with the name of the couple you are voting for in each matchup. You can vote for all eight contests or just your favorite couples. It's up to you. The voting for the couples from Round 1 will end on Sunday at Noon ET, and the next round of voting will begin later that day once once the results are tallied.

UPDATE: I'm bumping this topic to make sure everyone sees it. I was asked about the voting roles so just wanted to clarify that you should vote once in each round. I'll weed out any duplicates. I've made each round a few days to make sure people have enough time to see the pairings and vote. Thanks to everyone who has paritcipated so far.
