[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 369414, member: 27"] DS: To say it was unique among the soaps listed is an understatement. Its lead character in the early years was Victoria Winters, though other notable characters included Barnabas Collins, Dr. Julia Hoffman, Quentin Collins and Angelique Bouchard. The series featured time travel plotlines where actors played the ancestors of their present-day characters, so one actor might have played five or more different characters over the course of the series. The Collins family was the only core family, as the mansion was called Collinwood and the town, Collinsport. Prominent couples across all time periods included Barnabas/Josette, Barnabas/Julia, Maggie/Joe, Quentin/Beth, and Carolyn/Chris, though romance was not as important to the series overall. DOOL: Prominent characters include Tom Horton, Roman Brady, Mickey Horton, Stefano DiMera, Steve "Patch" Johnson, John Black, Victor Kiriakis, Alice Horton, Maggie Horton, Marlena Evans, Kristen Blake, Kayla Brady, Kim Donovan, Jennifer Devereaux, and Laura Horton. Days specialized in 'supercouples' for decades, with such couples as Roman/Marlena, Kim/Shane, Bo/Hope, Patch/Kayla, Jack/Jennifer, and Justin/Adrienne. There were also the early favorites like Tom/Alice, Mickey/Maggie, and Marlena/Don. Core families included the Hortons, the Bradys, the DiMeras, the Kiriakis family, and the Johnsons. The Doctors: Prominent characters included Dr. Matt Powers, Dr. Nick Bellini, Dr. Steve Aldrich, Toni Ferra, Carolee Simpson, Nola Dancy, Penny Davis, and Dr. Althea Davis. Popular couples included Nick/Althea, Toni/Mike, Maggie/Matt, and Jason/Nola. Two other "prominent couples" worthy of mention were husband/wife teams who wrote the show at certain points: Richard and Esther Shapiro; and Eileen and Robert Mason Pollock. Both couples also later wrote for [I]Dynasty. [/I]Since [I]The Doctors [/I]was much more focused on the workplace than home life, it did not have any prominent families that I can recall other than the Aldriches. [/QUOTE]
