Soap opera relationships are bound to be volatile.
It’s the nature of the genre.
However, sometimes they push the boundaries too far and fans end up pushing back.

Once in a while, we get a pairing that just doesn’t make sense.
The bad, the dreadful, the worst!
Viewers were immediately turned away from this pairing, and for good reason.

His plan was thwarted, but her rebound relationship with Nate has been a snooze fest.
Together, all they discuss is business, as well as Victoria’s complaints about her father.
There’s no passion or fire between the two of them at all.

She then found her way into the arms of Devon Hamilton (Bryton James) rather quickly.
Chance decided he couldn’t be a part of the mismatched family and broke things off with Abby.
She soon ended up dating Devon.

Together, they are raising the child that was supposed to be for Abby and Chance.
Fans saw this relationship coming from a mile away and were cringing the entire time.
This is one of those relationship swaps that definitely did not work out for the better!

However, one of the strangest relationships came when he began dating Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott).
Maybe they’re over it!
Jack and Sally
Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) has been a hopeless romantic for years.

She had everyone believing she was close to death and even pulled herself around on a walker.
After Wyatt left her, she decided it was time for a change.
Together Adam and Sally have an underdog mentality and they feed off of each other beautifully.
However, the annulment never happened and the two remained together.
It was an incredibly dark time for the character.
