There's already enough Maurel threads- we hardly need another- even if they are an abomination

Closely followed by Marlon and Laurel.
Most unbelievable pairing ever.
Well, except for Chas and Dan.

Apart from Marlon and Laurel I also think Katie and Declan are a terrible match

Cherry and Jimmi in Doctors are a crap match too in my opinion.

Sunita and Carl in corrie is another one with the puke-factor! But also Lloyd and Cheryl in corrie didn't suit each other either

Another vote for Maurel here (sorry to those who are fed-up of hearing about them!) Sunita and Karl in Corrie are also bloody irritating.

But actually, a random memory of another Emmerdale storyline has come to mind while writing this. Jack Sudgen having an affair with Rachel wotsit back in the late '90s. Please tell me I'm imagining this?!

Ste and Doug in Hollyoaks are pretty awful....
Doug has looked depressed ever since they got together and yet he is pathetically clingy and increasingly desperate to hold on to Ste, despite the fact that thier relationship has never really worked.

Yes, Jack and Rachel DID have an affair.
And yes, it was a terrible idea!

he's in love and the relationship works when brendon isn't about
I hope the two are happy
it would be nice for a same-sex couple to be happy and to last

This & he's also creepy and controlling now as well. The way he stares at Ste just freaks me out

I know!
It was really creepy when Ste was comforting Cheryl in the deli and after she left, Doug was just stood there with teary eyes and an annoyed face. I literally had no idea what his problem was! So Ste is not allowed to speak to Cheryl now?
And he's just supossed to let people break into a club belonging to his ex, just so he doesn't upset his current boyfriend? .
Pj's script may as well just say 'look miserable whilst angrily chopping up vegetables' because that's all he ever does now.
I have no idea why he's so pathetic and clingy in a relationship that seems to make him miserable?

I think I'm one of the only big Carla (Corrie) fans who thinks she and Peter are seriously mismatched as lovers. I really liked the connection they had as friends, but I don't think they really gel romantically and Carla does not suit the whole dutiful housewife bit running around after self-destructive, self-pitying Peter.

Another vote for Ste and Doug in Hollyoaks. Two gorgeous guys but so wrong for each other. And it's now morphed into something obsessive and controlling by Doug. Scary.

Theresa and Will were also a truly terrible couple. There was nothing there. Nada. Zilch. It was like watching paint dry. Which was strange as they are a real life couple. Thank goodness that relationship didn't last long. (The fictional one in Hollyoaks, I mean).

I presumed that was the point. She's not a housewife, motherly type person and so the point was the juxtaposition between Leanne (who was those things) and Carla who is also self-destructive and self-pitying.

Yeah I guess so, just the huge over-exposure of those characters and their stories this year has for me made it beyond a plot point to pure annoying. The whole thing seemed to be building towards a natural conclusion of the characters realising this, but then they written out Carla and Peter out together for their break and now it's going to be even more drawn-out when they return.

Have Little Mo and Alfie been mentioned yet? One of the worst couples I can remember in Eastenders.

Declan and Didge in Neighbours. He was hot, a really nice guy. Good character played by a good actor.
She was....the worst character in the history of soaps. Terrible actress, horrible personality, hideous dress sense (she makes Kate look fashionable)....
Yet somehow they gained a huge following. I have never understood why?
