Favourite on screen couple.
So I've already talked about a number of on screen couples. House & Cuddy, Benson & Stabler, Buffy & Angel.
There of course some great couples which will stand the test of time as the giants of the on screen TV partnerships, Marge & Homer for example. They represent so many households and the situations of married life, family life and work life we all experience. Naturally it's the writers that get the credit and I can't really say that the actors deliver this - they are after all only cartoons - no really, they are cartoons.
Laurel & Hardy - comedy geniuses. An on screen partnership so brilliant that like other TV gems such as Morecambe & Wise, Del Boy & Rodney, The Two Ronnies we will all remember them for generations.
Will anyone remember my choice for this in generations to come - we shall have to see.
The story is not new, far from it. A love story of two very different characters, two different backgrounds. Set in a world of opposing sides our two starring characters must work hard to get their love to succeed. They have to overcome the hostility towards their relationship, they have to overcome the difficulties of understanding each other and each others differences. The forces of nature and human alike which try to pull them apart.
Romeo & Juliet, Buffy & Angel, Dracula & Mina Harker, Bella & Edward (sparkles in the sun FFS!)
As with many new takes on old stories the action, the drama, the sex has been ramped up to 11. The ridiculous is made believable and every character has a story and a part to play. From what I have heard, there is plenty more to come too.
