TV's best and worst marriages
Soap Opera Digest, 1989	Accueil   This page in English

Believe it or not, the soaps do have some very good marriages (take, for example, Santa Barbara's Cruz and Eden). However, there are just as many unions that are less than ideal (Bold and Beautiful's Kristen and Clarke, and All my Children's Brooke and Adam quickly come to mind). Take a look at our choices for best and worst marriages and see if you agree.

Best marriage : Eden and Cruz

This couple is proof positives that it's possible to find a couple on a soap opera who is married and who is still interesting to viewers. After overcoming many obstacles to be together, these star-crossed lovers were wed - and the honeymoon is still going strong. Theirs is a marriage based on love, trust, and friendship... So no matter what hardships they face, they face them together.

Worst marriage : Sophia and C.C. Capwell

Despite the fact that they continue to love each other - and they are forever connected by their children - these two can't get it together. They've been married and divorced twice. The reason ? C.C. is an overbearing individual who seeks to control the lives of those around him... and Sophia refused to be suppressed. To succeed, their marriage had to be based on mutual respect and individual freedom, and it never was.
