YOUR FAVORITE SALEM MARRIED COUPLES
OF ALL TIME
Know you all really enjoyed the trip down memory lane, remembering many different couples and scenes. It does seem we all are missing the "romance" of past years, and not happy with the present bickering, and fighting. The final vote count had some surprising results, & really was not decided til the end. FYI, next two closest vote getters were Carrie & Austin, plus Justin & Adrienne who tied. One voter loved the latter couple so much, her 3 children are named, Justin, Adrienne & Alexander. Several of you mentioned Vivian, some with her wonderful sidekick, Ivan,(they were never married, of course) and others with her memorable Jonesy. Thank you all taking the time to share your thoughts & your favs with us!OF ALL TIME

Shane & Kimberly were so good together, the way they got together was so great, as was their song Friends and Lovers, and the fact that Shane was a perfect James Bond replica, English accent and all, was a double bonus. They were so different yet they complimented each other so well. When they went undercover together on a spying job it was so exciting. Shane was so proper, and British, while Kimberly was so fun loving and American. It was wonderful they became really good friends before they even thought of becoming a couple, if only we could bring them back!
We waited years and years for these star-crossed lovers to unite, and for good reason. From the day John "the Pawn" Black walked into Dr. Marlena Evans' office, sparks flew! Fans didn't even care if the Pawn's true identity turned out to be that of the evil Stefano DiMera, as long as this actor and this actress were together! Something about the two of them together on screen is so intimate, so realistic, one easily forgets that they are simply actors playing out a scene, and not a couple deeply in love in reality. Their love scenes are so dead-on, it sometimes makes one blush, feeling like a voyeur intruding on some private moment. Who can ever forget their reunion scene on the pier, when Marlena unexpectedly, but truly came back from the dead!
John Black and Isabella Toscano had one of the few genuine and real relationships on Days. There was no lying, cheating or manipulations involved. The character of Isabella caught on immediately, and the two played off each other beautifully. The darkest day on the show is still the day Isabella died. The "dance into eternity" that she shared with John was probably the most touching moment ever seen on Days. In a time when John Black had nothing that was truly his, Isabella gave him a place to belong...with her. It was the show's most bittersweet and endearing love story. and broke our hearts to see the hurt and the pain in John's eyes as he held his beloved Izzy-B on that balcony overlooking Italy with the music playing for their last dance. When her hand dropped and you knew she was gone and the tears streaming down John's face will forever lock them in our memory as one of Days favorite couples.
Now here is proof that you don't have to be size 2 to be sexy and passionate! Craig and Nancy light the screen on fire with their intense sexual passion for one another. This is a couple that still likes to make out on the couch. As someone wrote "After 10 years of marriage, if I am still doing that with my wife, then hallelujah!!!" Also they are downright funny with role playing and other things to spice up their passion. This duo is very entertaining, yet much more realistic than most soap couples. First of all, when the truth about Chloe came out, we got no overplayed estrangement, rebounding with a sexy single, or a single out-of-character action from either player in the marriage. While the truth about Chloe's paternity remains a secret, they banter about it like real married couples banter about... normal issues... and yet retain the love in their marriage. Nancy is a "real woman" who is, ironically enough, in what seems to be the happiest marriage in Salem, and perhaps the only one with few dark storm clouds on the horizon. One would think that, according to the show, only skinny women can "land a man", as all the supercouples feature women who, while beautiful, are skinnier than 90% of us real women out there. So, Bravo to the writers who created this couple, and the actors who portray them so convincingly.
