We're taking a look back at some of the most unforgettable (and cringe-inducing) soap opera romances of all time. From incestuous relationships to bizarre affairs, these pairings will make you question the writers' sanity. Grab a drink and brace yourself for some soap opera cringe.
Whether you’re single, married, or in a relationship, it won’t have escaped your notice that today is Valentine’s Day, and what better time is there to reflect on some of soap’s most memorable romances? If you’re expecting a list of the most romantic, well-suited couples in soap history, then we’re afraid you’ve got the wrong end of the stick.
Instead, we’re looking at the soap romances that are engrained in our memories for all the wrong reasons! While most of the time we’re rooting for our favourite couples to go the distance, occasionally our favourite soaps throw a pairing into the mix that is… Questionable, to say the least. Sometimes, soaps surprise us with couples we never expected to work, but there are times when these outlandish choices don’t quite pay off, and we spend the rest of the year trying to forget they ever happened. Unfortunately for you, we’re here to remind you of the very worst romances soap has to offer – so grab a stiff drink and get ready to cringe!Nat and Georgia Simpson from Brookside knew they were siblings, but back in 1996, the soap caused outrage among viewers when they embarked on a storyline which saw brother and sister Nat and Georgia Simpson get way too close for comfort. Despite knowing they were blood related, Nat and Georgia chose to act on their romantic feelings for each other, and were eventually even caught in bed together. It didn’t take long for producers to realise that they’d gone too far with this storyline, and shortly after the family was axed altogether.Now, Maisie Wylde and Ryan Lamb from Emmerdale have a little bit more of an excuse, given that they didn’t know they were brother and sister. Thankfully, Maisie didn’t go as far as sleeping with Ryan due to the fact that he had a girlfriend, but that didn’t mean they hadn’t already fallen in love with each other by the time they discovered they were biological siblings. When Maisie and Ryan learnt that their father had two families, they were horrified, and the whole situation led to Maisie suffering a nervous breakdown. Sticking with Emmerdale, we need to acknowledge that (thankfully) distant memory that was Viv Hope’s affair with Paddy Kirk. Their sheer misplaced giddiness for each other and that post office sex scene was enough to leave us reaching for a stiff drink – not to mention how much their antics hurt poor Emily. Fortunately, things came to an abrupt end after Emily announced their betrayal in the Woolpack, in front of an enchanted audience of locals.If you successfully made it through this storyline without physically shuddering with the cringiness of it all, then, honestly, we applaud you. Now, don’t get us wrong. We love Bob. We love Laurel. But together? Huge no from us. Why were all of their kisses so slow? Why did they whisper so close to each other’s faces? Why did anyone think this was a good idea???Andy and Bernice’s affair was a truly wild experience, and honestly, we weren’t sure whether to laugh or cry. While their actual affair wasn’t horrendously cringy, it was Bernice’s attitude after it was all over that landed them on this list. You may remember how Bernice grew so jealous of Katie Sugden that she attacked her with a bunch of sausages for stealing her man. Not to mention pouring pasta over her head, or turning up to the church on the day of the wedding in Katie’s dress. And, of course, EATING THE ENGAGEMENT RING. Bernice, you will always be iconic. We thought we were imagining things when Jacob Gallagher and Victoria Sugden got together, but alas, that really happened. ‘What was wrong with their relationship?’ I hear you cry. She was nearly his step-mum. In case that needs elaborating on, Victoria previously dated Jacob’s dad David Metcalfe, before dumping him after he blamed her for his speeding ticket
