GH "Summer Hit" Pairing Poll

We learned our mistake from last time.....

Summer is here, and in the soap world, that means new pairings, rekindling of old romances and some very unexpected ones. Soap Opera Source wants to know which couples you feel will be a "hit" this summer on "General Hospital."

We selected our list based on:

1) Current storylines
2) Additional Story Information
3) Fan Events
4) Magazine interviews

In doing so, we have selected:

1) Sonny & Claudia
2) Jax & Carly
3) Robin & Patrick
4) Jason & Sam
5) Maxie & Spinelli
6) Johnny & Olivia
7) Lucky & Elizabeth
8) Rebecca & Nikolas
9) Sonny & Olivia

We're sure not everyone will agree with the selections but will be able to express your reasons for why you feel a particular pairing is/should/will be a hit for "General Hospital" at a later time.

RULES:

1) Only current and upcoming pairings are available for voting.
2) There will be no additions to the poll as selections are final.
3) Voters are only allowed a limited amount of votes per day.
4) NO ROBOVOTING IS ALLOWED.

If Robovoting is discovered, we will discount ALL votes cast via cheating.

HOW TO VOTE:

Visit our main page, http://www.soapoperasource.com and look for AMC's "Summer Hit" Pairing Poll

UPCOMING POLL SCHEDULE:

Polls opened at 2:35AM Monday morning for the "General Hospital" poll. Only current and upcoming pairings are available for voting.

On Friday, July 10, the second and final round will begin to decide the summer hit couple for ABC Daytime!

On Wednesday, July 15, our "Days of Our Lives" poll will be available. Only current and upcoming pairings will be available for voting.

Wishing there was other couples in the poll *sigh*
I am not a Liason fan by any means but boy am I happy not to be a Jasam fan because based on these comments alone, wow just wow I would not want to be associated with them. Jasam vs Liason is so annoying and old, give Jason somebody new or put him with Carly the only woman whos ever been able to really hold onto him..13 years and still counting! Endgame baby!!

Now based on the couples above Ill probably either vote for CarJax or Lucky and Elizabeth. Cant stand Spinelli, Maxie should be with Johnny and yeah most the other couples r just definitely not my taste. Scrubs can be cute, but as for Jasam, Spixie, Oliva with Sonny or Johnny, Rebecca with anyone is just BLAH! HATE!!!

THIS COMMENT IS FOR THE PERSON THAT SAID SAM IS NOT A GOOD ACTRESS AND SHE CANT HOLD A STORYLINE UNLESS SHE IS NAKED. JUST GO TO THE SCENCES ON YOUTUBE WHEN SAM LOST HE BABY AND U TELL ME THAT SHE IS NOT A REAL ACTOR AND THAT HER AND JASON DONT BELONG TOGETHER. SAM AND JASON ALL THE WAY
JASAM FAN , July 10, 2009
WTF?
How the hell can Jasam be blamed for the bad ratings when their only on one day a week for five minutes and sometimes not even that! To blame the low ratings on Jasam is just pure bs!smilies/angry.gif

how do you cheat exactly? and if that's the case, i guess the poll doesn't tell us much--at least not much more than liaison fans will robovote their socks off for scrubs just so jasam doesn't win.

I have to go with Patrick & Robin.

Rebecca & Nikolas are creepy, Olivia comes across as a bossy older sister to Sonny (plus they lack romantic chemistry), and Sonny & Claudia are just gross. I'd probably vote for Jax & Carly second.

JASAM RULES
if you werent watching the best ever love story blossom
in 2oo4, 2oo5..you missed out
because JASAM ran circles around every couple, and they
will again...some ppl seem to have forgotten that

theirs was a TRUE LOVE story, not based on a one night adulterous
stand that allegedly resulted in the obligatory bastard

jess , July 08, 2009
delusional j*zzers
OMG ppl GET OVER IT..they NEVER WERE a couple, NEVER will be
they had a drunken one night stand !! Whats so sad is ppl
actually think they were, sneaking around and whinining, no
chemistry, a ONS was way to much !!

its sad that ppl have to bring down JaSam and to try to pimp
jiz. when 3 characters and 2 couples have to be assassinated
in order to make another one..it AINT ever going to work.

GH Summer Poll
With the ratings in the tank the question should which couple has gotten GH an all time low rating and if kept together will bring even lower numbers.Hands down the winner is Claw and Sonny--they are so gross that they make you want to vomit.

The Winner by default is Scrubs but if we got to pick who is the most romantic couple it is Sonny and Kate but Frons prefers grossing out viewers with the Claw.
Bonnie , July 08, 2009
GH summer poll
GH's SUMMER HIT couples for "ME" would be Sonny and Kate(ya know His "true love") not these cheap trashy wannabes the show is trying to force Sonny to get with. My second hit couple is Jason and Liz.

These couples are the Heart and Hope of General Hospital and the ones that will bring viewers BACK to the show!!
Kellie , July 07, 2009

I chose Carly and Jax because at least the writers have put some romance in that relationship. My favorite male character is Sonny, but the choices on this list leave me feeling pretty hopeless for him. Claudia is just a vile character and I find that relationship disgusting and offensive. . In my opinion, this pairing has made Sonny look weak and foolish. Sonny and Olivia are just as bad a pairing. Their relationship has no basis, does not make sense, and, therefore, it is unbelievable and unrootable. If Sonny’s character was kept in integrity, Sonny would be pining for Kate, his true love. Sonny and Kate are exciting, sexy, and romantic together. They made me anxious to tune in to see what would be next in their relationship.

TPTB need only to look at the ratings for the summers of 2007 and 2008 to see that the viewers loved Sonny and Kate and then compare them to this summer which Sonny and Claudia and Sonny of Olivia. Obviously Sonny and Claudia are a flop and Sonny and Olivia will not fare much better. No other pairing can match the chemistry of Sonny and Kate.

Give us choices that make us want to watch—Sonny and kate, Jason and Elizabeth, and Johnny and Lulu. Maybe then viewers will want to tune in again.
gigi , July 07, 2009

GH Summer "Hit" Couples are Kate & Sonny along with Liz & Jason. They were definitely the hits of the last two summers and would be hits again in the summer of 2009. The only real couples you have on the list are CarlyJax and RobinPatrick - again proven "hit" couples.
Soapster , July 07, 2009

I vote for Patrick & Robin. I hope that we see them bond more.

Sonny & Claudia are gross and Sonny & Olivia would make Sonny look like a total cad. I would find them to be just as gross. The woman he loves lives next door, so for him to act jealous regarding Olivia when he did not have strong romantic feelings for her seems unfounded and silly. There is much more storyline potential for Sonny with Kate, but they are not on the list.

Sadly, this list makes me realize how drab GH has become. While I like Patrick & Robin and Jax & Carly, the couples that still need to be together are Sonny & Kate and Jason & Elizabeth. Perhaps you need a poll that asks which couples viewers want to see on GH!

This poll might be made more interesting if you asked which couple would make one want to stab their eyes out rather than watch! There are several on that list.
DLM , July 07, 2009

this whole poll is ridiculous. none of the people on here are with who they're SUPPOSED to be with, and who fans WANT to see them with. the fans have been loud and clear on wanting jason with elizabeth and sonny with kate...who the hell is rooting for the others? rebecca and nikolas??? omg really? the writers really ARE writing for simple minds, and what's sad is some are buying into it instead of demanding what they really wanna see over accepting what's handed to them.
gertrude ann-margaret , July 07, 2009

My vote went to Jason and Sam. Hands down this is the couple I'm most excited about. I've waited a long time to see them reconnect. My second choice is Patrick and Robin.
milonappa , July 07, 2009

Robin & Patrick!
BarbE , July 07, 2009

Jasam is winning since there was no choice of Jason and Elizabeth in this poll.

It is obvious that is the only way that Jason and Sam can possibly win.
They cannot go against Liason, they will lose every time.

The media pix show Sam yet again half- naked in Jason's arms. It is so sad that TPTB don't feel that Kemo is capable of carrying a storyline on just her acting alone. If she isn't half naked with Jason around no one will give her a second look.

If she is this great lead actress, why don't they give her a good, meaty emotional storyline and give her the chance to knock it out of the ballpark?

Nope, they just keep her half naked with her cleavage hanging out and always needing Jason to save her.

gh summer poll
As far as I can tell there are only 4 actual couples on there, the others are either past couples or totally speculative. If you're going to include speculative couples, you should include an option for viewers to write in their choice. From the 4 couples that are really options, Sonny/Claudia - horrid; Jax & Carly - a little boring currently; Robin & Patrick - just had a big story; Maxie & Spinelli - not quite a couple, but one the very edge as they HAVE professed their love to each other, but they don't really sizzle. So, I can't really say any of your choices are GH's summer hit pairing. I could not care less about any of the other options, I find them all horrible choices for one reason or another. If I had to chose couples that could be hot, I'd go with Lucky and Rebecca (when she was edgier), or Lucky and Sam, and Jason and Elizabeth.

gh summer poll
As far as I can tell, you really only have 4 actual couples on that list to vote for, Sonny and Claudia - horrid, Jax and Carly - I love together but they need something besides Michael, Robin and Patrick - again a great couple, but they just had a big storyline and are currently fairly front and center, and possibly Maxie & Spinelli - who I do like as a couple when they're given a storyline that plays on both characters and actor's strengths. All of the others are speculative or past couples and as such cannot, should not be included based on your own 'criteria' for picking them. I'm not picking any one of them out, I'm saying all of the others are not options. So, my vote goes to Carly and Jax as long as they can get a good, multifaceted storyline. If we're going with couples we'd love to see - it's Jason and Elizabeth -period.

Thanks for including Jason & Sam in your poll, from what SB said at his fan event their on their way! I can't wait for their summer scenes that are coming! smilies/smiley.gif

GH Summer Poll
I'm glad JaSam are in this poll.
For any that wanted Jason and Elizabeth in this poll,they are not a couple,nor are they getting together any time soon.All signs are pointing to JaSam getting back together.
Always , July 06, 2009

I am really liking Scrubs being front & center! I like that they do not have any third party angst or sleaze! There stories have been really nice but I'd love to see them step up a notch!

If the writers can repair & recapture it, I think Jason & Sam can be good again, but there is still some angst from the past two years that these two have to clean up.

Sonny & Olivia stand out more than Sonny & Claudia. I do like Johnny & Olivia but only for the occasional hot sex. lol. I agree with a previous post, Sonny & Olivia have a past & true feelings that existed for Sonny without knowledge of any kid, who is now a man. This means that the relationship won't be because of a kid or obligations. I think there is much potential there. Good stories can come from it, good hot stories!

Based on what is on screen & what actors have said online or at their PA, I think you made very good choices for your list. It is easy to see where you are getting this from. It's hard to pick just one because there are three or four couples that have potential to raise the roof this summer. I'll just say I hope for good things to continue for Scrubs, Sonny & Olivia, Johnny & Olivia (I know, but I like both Olivia possibilities), Jason & Sam, & maybe Carjax!
Acceptance Is Grand! , July 06, 2009

I'm okay with Sonny n Olivia because its obvious that Dante/Dom is going to be big starting this summer. He is already a focus. Sonny has more than shown genuine feelings for Olivia, & not just because of a kid. Sonny showed strong feelings for Olivia before he even knows about Dante. This says alot. It is not love or caring because of a kid. I would love to see Sonny & Olivia.
I have no problem with Jason or Sam either because it's obvious the are sharing screen time n story even if Steve hadn't confirmed it. Plus, from reading all around the boards it didn't take a rocket scientist to come to the conclusion that they needed to wait for that outside Vegas project to be over before delving in.
Just to add, I do think Jolivia can bring the HOTNESS, but I need Olivia for Sonny in the end. smilies/cheesy.gif
As far as Rebecca & Nik, I see why they are on but not Ethan & Becca. It's obvious here to who the Root for couple is. That would be Nem pt2.

Thanks for the poll. I'd say Scrubs n JaSam should be the more interesint coules but the others have strong root possibilities too if the writers can '''bring it'''.

I am LOVING Johnny and Olivia together!!!!

GH couples
At this time GH has no couples I am interested in. Scrubs are boring, Liz and Lucky are like siblings, Jason and Sam are Gross, why they are even writing her around him is beyond me.Sonny and Claudia have some chemistry but she is pretty vile to.I don't think Sonny and Olivia have any character chemistry at all. John and Olivia are alright for a romp in the sheets, but they aint no couple. Spinelli and Maxie are not watchable IMO. Carly and Jax are just there Nic and Rebecca are like watching the tumor story. So my vote on you couples poll for GH is they need to make a new list.
Thank You!
I can see that some people have an issue with Jason and Sam being on this poll, and I thank you for including them. I assume that you might have spoilers that are unknown to the public that supports your decision to include them in this poll. As someone mentioned Sonny and Olivia are not a couple but there are upcoming scenes that once aired will be obvious why they are included in the poll, as is Jason and Sam.

Good Luck to all the nonwhiners and the couple supporters.

Robin and Patrick, hands down.

And shockingly, my second choice would be Carly and Jax.
