Greatest Loves of All

We asked, you answered! In honor of Valentine’s Day, we asked you to vote for the greatest couples of all time on soapoperadigest.com. Here are the results.
Greatest Loves of All

ALL MY CHILDREN

♥Angie and Jesse 31%

Jack and Erica 21%

Greg and Jenny 20%

Cliff and Nina 14%

Zach and Kendall 14%

Soaps’ first (and best) black super couple, street-smart Jesse swept book-smart Angie off her feet in 1982; they eloped and had a son, but when Williams chose to exit in 1988, cop Jesse died in the line of duty in his truelove’s arms. Twenty years later (and after a pit stop on LOVING/THE CITY in which Angie married Jacob, Jesse’s doppelgänger), AMC lured back both actors, undid Jesse’s demise and hit the restart button on the Hubbards’ love story. Very good things happened to those who waited: Angie and Jesse 2.0 kicked off with a sweepingly romantic train-track reunion (“It’s me, baby!”) and culminated in spectacular, heartfelt nuptials that were Digest’s pick for 2008’s Best Wedding.

ANOTHER WORLD

♥ Mac and Rachel 43%

Vicky and Ryan 24%

Cass and Frankie 19%

Steve and Alice 11%

Sally and Catlin 3%

In 1974, Bay City’s premier bad girl, Rachel, crashed a party thrown by upper-crust Iris in honor of her father, publishing magnate Mac — and much to Iris’s dismay, kind-hearted Mac was instantly smitten with the interloper. The gap in their ages and socioeconomic statuses proved easier to overcome than Iris’s dogged efforts to keep them apart, even after they wed in 1975, but for this unlikely duo, every breakup led to a make-up (perhaps most infamously, when Rachel saved him from being poisoned to death by Janice in 1981). They ultimately wed three times, only to be parted by death (Mac’s, in 1989).
