Victoria and Adam doesn't work for me either, but from the opposite perspective. I personally think Victoria is very attractive, and a nice person to go with it. Adam, on the other hand, is an ignorant, arrogant, aggressive, jailbird loser part time farm hand and scrap man.

Really?

You know it's strange but Adam and Victoria have began to grow on me ever since she ran over Ashley. It's weird because usually I just can't click with soap couples where one has cheated but these seem to be exception and what a silly thing to say! She's a natural beauty, just not quite obvious with it because they don't plaster her with make-up or dress her with a short skirt, A lot of the time she's in her chefs uniform which doesn't do her any favours!

I quite like Cain and Moira, they're the ultimate odd couple but they work and work well. I hope they don't put him back with Charity when she returns.

I'm surprised the dreaded 'Maurel' hasn't already been mentioned. They seem to be really disliked on this board. Admittedly I prefered her with Ashley but I can take them or leave them.

I don't think Shabnam or Kush from EE work together or Stacey or Martin or Stacey/Kush either. It all just seems too forced, like they're trying to make Martin into another Bradley or something.

Phil and Sharon - Admittedly it may be my inner-Shannis fangirl saying this but it seems all they do is go through the same cycle when Sharon tells Phil to stop with his dodgy deals but he doesn't listen. He then crosses the line and does something unforgivable, she declares revenge and makes a plan but then backs out at the last minute, forgives him and goes back to being the good little gangsters moll. It's infuriating.

I agree about Steve and Michelle from Corrie. People forget he was only too quick to dump her the first time when Becky came along. They have no chemistry and it feels they only put them together because they where both single and similar age.

Any Hollyoaks couple - I mean that, there is not one couple on the show at the moment that suit each other and EVERY couple no matter their age or personality goes through the same cliche-ridden rubbish. Ridiculous

Exactly. He's also very stupid, childish and refuses to take responsibility for anything.

I so agree...Neither of these couples work for me....I would like to see Cain and Charity back together they were just meant for one another ..and Steve with someone like Leanne they both deserve to have some fun in their lives and they work so well together..

Another thumbs-up for this post.

I only really watch ED, and there aren't many couples that work right now, because they focus more on plot than building relationships. Ones that don't, blimey, where to start?

Debbie and Ross - totally utterly do my nut in. Zero chemistry, don't care what happens, making me hate Ross, MAKE IT STOP
Jai and Megan, Jai and Leyla, Jai and anyone except a meat mincer
Vanessa and Kirin the Oldest Teenager In the World
Robert and Aaron - also do my nut in, don't care, sick of the tears and ooooo dramarama. Robert only really gets a hard-on for power, bless him.

So basically, all the ones that have been plot-crunched for the sake of the disaster.

In fact the only one I quite like at the moment is the early wooing between Lawrence and Bernice.

I should say that somehow, in spite of not giving a monkey's about any of the above, I still quite enjoy Emmerdale. But it would be so much better if some of the relationships had a bit more spark - write Cain/Moira better, give Chrissie/Ross a chance, or Ross/Carly (which actually worked), find Leyla someone decent, Vanessa was good with Pete, give Finn a damn boyfriend that he doesn't run in disgust from, and make Aaron take a vow of chastity and take up yoga.

Victoria is a lovely looking girl. I wish people would stop with the looks shaming of actresses. Fair enough it's OK to say the hair, make up and wardrobe department in a soap don't enhance an actress's appearance but to suggest an actress is ugly (like the recent HO Tegan thread) or not good enough for another actor's character isn't very nice.
As for the couples that don't work on soaps (for reasons other than looks) I'd say :
ED Cain and Moira
ED Debbie and Pete
ED Chas and James

HO Patrick and Theresa (now there's an odd "couple"!)

EE Phil and Sharon (what a miserable pair!)

CS Michelle and Steve

Love your post and agree with all you say ...all apart that is from Cain and Moira..for me there is just no chemistry between them and I tend to find their scenes together pretty boring...John was Moira's perfect husband and no one can replace him...not even the magnificent Cain..

It was a great storyline, and I know it really brought Ross to everyone's attention, but I wish Donna had hung around for longer as I thought that couple were really good together too.

And I'm another one who thinks Victoria Sugden is very attractive - she's got massive eyes, beautiful skin, and a lovely shaped mouth.

Emmerdale: Ross and Debbie. Woeful. Just the world's most chemistry-free love affair which is strange because I saw the actors interviewed together and off screen there's a spark. I'm tempted to say Adam and Vic because she could do far better than that waste of space.

Neighbours: Amber and anyone. Horrendous character that drags everyone down with her.

Thanks! I don't mind Cain and Moira at all, I just think they're written as Dullsville most of the time. It get a bit more interesting when Moira goes all Femme Fatale and gets turned on by Cain's misdeeds.

To be fair, Vanessa/Kirin, though I'm not really interested, don't give me quite the massive irrits the others do. Mind you, they don't even bother to write Kirin as a teen any more, they just write him as a full adult, so maybe it works better that way. Pete was just a quick snog, as I recall, but never went anywhere. For some reason he went back to the Miserable Twiglet.

I think Victoria is very pretty and more attractive than Adam. Not that it matters anyway.

-Jai and Leyla ED spring to mind instantly, they're so mismatched and totally random.
-Ben and Paul EE

Agreed with the BIBs. Donna and Ross were a brilliant couple. They had amazing chemistry. It's a shame Donna was killed off when she was but I suppose it's better to leave the audience wanting more rather than the stories getting stale. I miss Donna. The end scenes on the roof were just so gripping plus all the sexual chemistry between Ross and Donna in earlier scenes and episodes was so watchable. Victoria has a beautiful face I agree and she has lovely hair. When she's not wearing chef clothes she looks incredible. The women in Emmerdale are all very attractive and some are striking ie Leyla who is an amazing looking woman. The older women like Diane also look great.

Another vote from me for Steve and Michelle. Despite the fact that they've softened Michelle's character in recent months and she's more likeable, I still don't buy her and Steve together.

When Corrie put Michelle and Steve together I was quite surprised as it seemed to come out of the blue and felt forced. They don't have much chemistry as a couple. I preferred Steve with his previous loves like Becky and Karen. Him and Becky were brilliant together. I love the way she said his name! I would like to see Steve with someone he has more spark with instead of Michelle. Now Carla's gone I think Michelle should be written out. I've never hated her but I think she's a stale character.
