Without these steamy moments of intense love (or lust), relationships are difficult to invest in.
While safe, these practices created a bland product void of any intimation or palpitating chemistry.
When the moment finally happened, rejoicing was easy.
Not only was it overdue, but the quality of their steaminess and intimacy was off the charts.
LikeHope and Thomas, Kyle and Audra had no qualms about giving the people what they craved.
It was likewise a glaring example of the necessity of these scenes in today’s soap opera climate.
With the lovers in the throes of passion, there’s not much between them and viewers.
Viewers haven’t been shy to express their feelings about the lack of intimate scenes on social media.
Many have flocked to Twitter to air out their grievances with the soaps.
One viewertweeted, “Seeing all these steamy pics and gifs from other soaps on my TL.
I don’t smoke but I need a cigarette after watching this.
Now this a steamy love scene that has been missing from soaps.”
Buzzworthy talk and (I’m sure) higher ratings.
#CBS knew the summer assignment, too bad #GH didn’t."
It’s clear these moments are needed, at least in the eyes of soap super-fans.
