Favorite Soap Rivalries
#1

Kylebraxtonisthebest · 02-15-2017, 09:26 PM

Nice thread idea.

B&B
Hope vs Steffy
Maya vs Caroline

Days
Sami vs Nicole - classic SOAP b****** who've gone toe-to-toe over men both romantically and not wanting their male sibling with the other. Baby swapping and romance drama galore.

GH
Sam vs Liz - I dont particulary like it but it's a classic SOAP rivalry.

Emmerdale
Robert vs Andy

^ I was shocked we never had this thread so yeah. lolol
Will think of my list soon.

Kylebraxtonisthebest · 02-15-2017, 10:27 PM

^ Yeah that is a surprise that it's only become a thread now.

I was kinda disappointed I couldn't think of any good male fueds.

**eternalfate** · 02-15-2017, 10:30 PM

^ Jack and Victor is the main one that comes to my mind when we are talking about feuding but since Victor has owned Jack so much over these past years, I'll call the rivalry done for now.

Not a fan of Ridge vs Eric?

Kylebraxtonisthebest · 02-15-2017, 10:50 PM

Jack vs Victor and Eric vs Ridge are classic but I dont really care about either.
Ooohh I thought of some Adam vs Victor and Adam vs Billy.

**eternalfate** · 02-15-2017, 10:55 PM

Adam vs Billy is one I didn't care for since I always enjoyed both characters and when it came to the feud, I always had to choose a side and it makes me have to slam one to get my point across.

I enjoyed their feud the most with BM & MM versions though.

Interestingly enough when Burgess was portraying Billy I actually was more on his side during most of rivalry..........

Well during the second half of it.

JT and JH didn't work together much, their rivalry ended when Billy finally forgave Adam in court.

Adam vs Victor is one I always loved because man did it produce some great television! It was one where I can sort of see point points of view, recently it was definitely Adam's point of view but I feel a lot of people can relate to wanting to be loved by someone but never getting that love back and that's how it always was with Adam, he felt Victor never loved him as much and Victor felt he made more sacrifices for Adam than he knows.

Completely agreed! it's written so raw and real and you will always get great scenes from it.

What are some of the best love rivalries and/or sibling rivalries?

**eternalfate** · 02-21-2017, 11:14 PM

I actually really loved the Kelly/Jack/Phyllis triangle rivalry.

I think it was mainly because I got to see Gina and Cady Mcclain go at it acting wise on a daily basis.

It was some great tv because Jack fell in love with Kelly when Phyllis was in the coma, and when Phyllis returned back, cast as Gina Tognoni, of course it was a whole new world for the fans seeing a new Phyllis, and for Phyllis with how much things changed...

Also, the good old Jack basically choose Kelly over Phyllis and I didn't mind because I was totally shipping Jack/Kelly.

This is how Days should've played the Chabby/Gabi triangle instead of the trashy mess they ended up with.

Wait how could've been similar??

Chad loving Gabi while lying to Abby about it?

Not sure if that way would've been good. Because, I think you saw it, it seemed that Jack loved Kelly more than Phyllis.

Of course the thing that really broke them completely off was Victor bringing Marco in town and Marco slept with Kelly, turning Kelly more insane since her history of being a bit insane.... and then the whole hostage thing happened where Kelly was out of character.

....

Not sure Abby/Chad/Gabi would've been good if it went that way....

No I mean the similarity in the story should have been Chad/Gabi getting together before Abby's return rather than the rushed one month build-up. That way all this mess going on now would've actually made sense as a triangle rather than just Chad being an indecisive jerk who has emotionally and physically cheated on Abby. Days really screwed up this storyline.

**eternalfate** · 02-23-2017, 02:32 PM

^ I think the issue here is that didn't Chad/Gabi did get together before Abby returned? they slept together and everything and than Abby returned and they forced themselves apart for Abby.
