We all know how the storyline goes. A couple breaks up and in a soap taking time out to heal from a relationship and focus on your own needs is unorthodox. You're going to need to move on. The quickest way to get over 'the love of your life' - that you most likely met only 2 weeks ago - is to find another relationship with someone else, who possibly doesn't live on the same square/street/farm/college as you - cause we can't form attachment to the 'other' character - or is a regular who you've never even looked at twice despite living in the same square/street/farm/college/family/house for x amount of years but you've been thrown together like a pair of marbles. This is going to be is a push and pull storyline before final you admit what the audience has known all along...only because InsideSoap keep telling us and off you trot back to the 'love of your life' until the next disaster happens.

But wait what about us? Sometimes as an audience member we find ourselves rooting for the unlikely couple, which is your unlikely couple DS?

For me, and perhaps controversial, is Kat and Andy. I liked their relationship - watching back episodes of it - and thought he brought out a lot in Kat and took well to her family and past. I was a bit gutted when he crashed the wedding! Stupid Alfie.

I liked Jack and Tanya together. I also liked Zainab and Yusef together before they turned him nasty.

Carmel and Barney on Hollyoaks. It was a lovely chalk and cheese love story that had real potential. Shame HO are clueless.

BIB: I liked them together too

I liked elements of them but I was a major Zee & Masood shipper.

I never ever like mis-matched couples.

The unlikeliness of it grates on me from the start and I can't get passed it.

Funnily enough, though, unlike many posters on this forum I don't find Marlon and Laurel ( ED ) to be mis-matched.

Tony and Jacqui HO,
Absolutely. I'm still peeved they never got back together sooner and got to be all happy.

Rhys & Mercedes are another of mine. I know they were paired together as a plot device to give Rhys a "love life" whilst Beth was gone, but I thought they worked superbly together. They both seemed genuinely happy. I really think they could've been popular had Beth not returned.

I like Nick and Leanne but not Carla and Peter, liked Leanne and Peter too. May deep down I cant stand Carla. To me she looks more like a tranny than Hayley.

Agreed.

As for my contribution, Jean and Ollie [you know it's true]...

It's Jean, TPTB always have her men leave her for some reason or another.

It's been conditioned into me as a viewer as much as her by now...

Ronnie and every other man she was linked with away from Jack.

Gail and Martin in Corrie. Sunita and Ciaran too. There's probably more, I remember there was a time where I always rooted for the couples who never made it.
