The Agony & The Ecstasy of the Single-Couple Shipper

Tune In Tomorrow

Last week, DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ EJ admitted that he’d been wanting Sami “pretty much every waking moment for the past six years”... a sentiment echoed by many fans of the troubled pairing. Meanwhile, on THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS, Adam and Sharon working together left Shadam shippers hoping that before long, the couple would be mixing business with pleasure. GENERAL HOSPITAL’s McBain has been in trouble with Jolie lovers ever since he came to Port Charles, but many are hoping that Prospect Park’s reboot of ONE LIFE TO LIVE will reunite Liam's mommy and daddy. THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Steffy and Bill shared a brief storyline nearly two years ago, and yet an extremely devoted group of viewers have been calling out for Still ever since! And legions of devoted JaSam and Liason fans will never, ever stop hoping that Steve Burton ditches Y&R, returns to GH and is reunited with the woman — whichever that may be — they believe to be Jason’s true love. Tonight, Soaps in Depth executive editor addresses one of the most controversial of all fan bases: the single-couple shipper. They are devoted, they are organized and they make no bones about the fact that their couple — and only their couple — will get a show back on track. But are the Shadam, Lane, Ejami and Still fans destined for heartache? Are soaps a medium in which any couple that is brought together must, almost inevitably, be torn assunder again in order to feed the machine that is telling a story 52 weeks a year? Plus, we'll talk about the latest developments with Prospect Park and what they mean to the future of GH’s McBain, Starr and Todd. And as always, your calls will dictate the direction of the show.
