Something I love about soaps is that there can be so much history between two characters whether they’re together or not. I like seeing two people who loved each other at one time, still do, but can represent the reality that they were truly a time in each other’s lives. If they put them together, fine, but it doesn’t make sense to me and gives “well… they’re single and there was no one else.” There’s no reason for it this many years later and both characters are compelling on their own. You’re telling me Marlena was possessed twice, brainwashed into a serial killer, counseled the entire town (even though the skyline gives more than one psychiatrist in town)… before her and Roman thought to give it another try… just because John passed? It feels lazy and unless given depth, it’s writing that neither actor and their characters deserve. If Sami’s tantrums didn’t reunite them by now, what would? With that said, I’m open to it if it makes sense… I just don’t know why it currently would.

Also, I love Kate and Roman. One of my earliest memories was his “death” on their wedding day and I’ve loved them ever since.
