I love Lucy, and I do think Kevin is her best match, although her relationship with Scotty was good, too. She belonged with Kevin much more than with Ian. I didn't watch very much after Eve died, but even if I had I don't think they could have sold me on Ian ever really getting over her. We were given such a fantastic (and I mean that both as 'positive' and as 'arching into the fantasy world') storyline about how meant-to-be Ian and Eve were. I think, *at least* for the duration of the series, it would have made more sense for Ian to be a single parent, focusing his love on his child and in part channeling his love for Eve into that relationship instead. But oh, well.
I preferred Frank/Karen with the original PC Karen, just as I preferred Joe/Karen with the original PC Karen and the original Joe. Also, I really got into Julie/Frank way back in the beginning, before the insane Julie/Chris mess, and I used to love Jack/Livvie when he was first, uh, wooing her.
I didn't watch any Scott/Lucy interaction (I've only been watching soaps for a few years now). However, I adore both characters and actors, and when Scott crossed over for Karen's funeral, he and Lucy seemed to have good chemistry. I'm excited that Soapnet is going to be airing Port Charles, starting with Fate (I didn't watch that book, either), but I hope they go back and air the pre-arc episodes, too.
I completely agree about Ian and Eve. That's one of the reasons I have a big problem with shows, especially soap operas (although I guess the same might apply to other series), claiming that two people are soulmates. (Not just a couple giving themselves that label, but somehow showing that the couple truly is fated to be together forever.) If one of the actors leaves the show, or if the writers decide to break a couple up, then I just can't buy either of the characters with anyone else

I've been lucky in that my sister and mom have watched soaps the entire time that I have, so I've always had people to talk to about it. My sophomore year of college, my roommate, suitemates, and I all watched Days Of Our Lives, so that was fun, too.
I remember hearing about how a lot of people were really upset when Lucky "died" on the show. That makes sense that you'd stop watching as frequently after that.
It wasn't something like that, but I stopped watching my first soap after I got frustrated/angry with the writers. (It was Passions, which, in my opinion, is overall the worst of all the soaps on air today.)
Oh, yeah. I never did find out who those two guys were on AMC, but there's a good chance they could have been Jamie and JR (brothers) -- and, ironically, JR's played by Jacob Young, the second Lucky. :)

Now that you mention it, I think you're right. I'm pretty sure that I remember noticing that was him. =)

That'd be interesting. He seems like a good actor. I miss seeing Jonathan Jackson in that role, though.
I had forgotten how much I loved to go on and on about Port Charles. =)Hee. I've never really had an opportunity to talk about PC with anyone ( ... )

Er, that should have said something like, 'so several years passed before I knew anyone else who watched/was into any soaps.'
