It's interesting how the Genie and Emma interviews are different from each other. I can't quite put my finger on it....
Genie's not so gushy in her interview about L&L as Emma was about R&H. And Genie thought that L&L staying married and happy might have been a problem, while Emma--with good reason--thought the opposite of R&H. Those are the only differences I saw.

Emma's was more gushy and juicy. IMHO

Summer 1992 SOD Supercouples Special

“What’s it really like to be part of a supercouple?”

Emma Samms –

“Ours was an amazing story; GH did not plan on putting Holly with Robert. When Luke came back from the dead, Holly was expected to return to him. But because the chemistry was so good between Tristan and me, according to the audience, they decided to keep me with him. I wasn’t aware of supercouples. All I knew was that I loved working with Tristan. I think I really knew we were part of a supercouple, when on Robert and Holly’s wedding anniversary, we received more than 50 bouquets of flowers.

Being called a supercouple was very flattering. It meant that the relationship that Tristan and I portrayed was believable and popular. That was because of the wonderful familiarity we felt and that the audience observed. It was very real, and of course it did turn out that there were many things that Holly and Robert had in common with Emma and Tristan. I think the audience knew that before we did. It was just spending so much time together; we had kissed a hundred times, but the first kiss was still as momentous as one would hope.

I never got tired of Robert and Holly. We were determined to be something very unusual in soap operadom, which was a happy, yet interesting couple; we discussed it. The other thing was, we added a lot of seemingly insignificant moments to the scenes that weren’t written in that helped us look happy even when we were supposedly going through dramas. There was a scene in the sauna that was supposed to be very romantic; he was supposed to open champagne, which was supposed to gush onto my shoulder for him to lick off. Well, that was easier said than done. The champagne would not gush out; it would just fizzle. After three takes, we were getting frustrated, so, on the fourth take, in the middle of a romantic scene, Tristan started shaking the bottle. Of course, I said, ‘What are you doing?’ and from then on, it was adlibbed. When he opened the champagne it went completely in my face, which burned, but I started laughing. I laughed so much that it became a funny scene, not a romantic one. And they kept the whole thing.

Both Tristan and I have very, very pleasant memories of working together; it’s something you so rarely find, someone who is so matched to you professionally, and who you can laugh with and still get the work done.”
Reading this I can't see why the Ethan debacle was such an hard pill to swallow for the fans and the actors. Guza bulldozed R&H and neither Tristan nor Emma could do a damn thing to stop it. I wonder if the actors were angry over it.

Are you saying you see why it was a hard pill to swallow or that it wasn't a hard pill to swallow?

Tristan and Genie did some serious passionate kissing and it didn't gross me out as I expected. Actually, I'm down for a Genevieve/Colin hook up..It's something twisted and hot about their pairing. I like them.

Tony Geary, on the hiring of Nathan Parsons:

By the end of his first week I went to Jill and asked her to put him on contract. She and Bob Guza agreed.
