What's your least favourite relationship with a guest character

That's true, but she was still talking about David when she reconnected with Blake. She also called their son after him. I don't think that's healthy TBH

I mean, I agree with you on one level. I think Sophie will always view David as the love of her life and have an idealised version of him that no-one else can live up to, although I don't think that's necessarily the only reason she was single for so long. Worth pointing out that the reason Blake didn't get a say in naming their son was he bailed on her while she was pregnant and seemed to have very little contact with them. It's a bit weird but again, a standard soap (and wider fiction) trope to name a child after a dead loved one. (Hayley naming her son with another man after her dead husband springs to mind.)

True. I'm just spitballing really

Shannon and Eric: In 1995, Shannon briefly went out with Eric Philips. He looked good in a tank top but that's where the praise for him ends. He was a creep who sold steroids to Jack and attacked Shannon. Exit stage left. I was surprised to read that the actor who played Eric ended up in America and was in The Young and the Restless for years. Now he's on General Hospital. That's not bad going for someone who I thought was a poor actor on H&A.

Another one I'd forgotten about

Sally and Gus: Sally briefly went out with Donna Bishop's younger brother. He was a mouthy brat who had gone off the rails and was on the verge of being sent to a juvenile detention centre. Pippa and Michael were against Sally going out with him, which of course... Sally began to behave like him, though she stopped short of setting anyone's guitar on fire or throwing rocks through windows.

Didn't like Pippa and Ian that much or Karen and Rev
