I would like to see an article on the event, not just a single sentence about its demise. NBK1122 (talk) 00:56, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Is there any good reason why this should be a separate article from General Hospital? JamesBWatson (talk) 08:24, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Please use this section to discuss concerns of included "supercouples" - the Robert and Anna entry, while might not have been there in the past, is sourced. I see no reason for it to be removed. Kelly Marie 0812 (talk) 22:57, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
If it is sourced, I see no reason why it shouldn't be included.Caringtype1 (talk) 23:18, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
Not sure how to do this. But this is the HISTORY section and it is referring to the history of 1980-1989. Robert and Anna were not even a couple, much less a supercouple at this time. I honestly don't think they are a supercouple as they were together only 6 months but I get they were referenced by a source (as have many other GH couples). I personally think they should be added in the next paragraph "The Transition (1990-99"). This is when the romantic pairing of Robert & Anna occurred. In this section, it stated that Sonny & Brenda were believed to be GH's last supercouple. For some reason, that is gone now too. I totally believe L&L, R&H, F&F, D&A and S&B were GH's only supercouples. But if you really feel like you need to have R&A included, it should be stated in the CORRECT HISTORY period (1990-99). Otherwise, wikipedia is INCORRECT. And then I'm sure we'll have all sorts of people requesting their couple be added. Signed OldGHFan (Again, not sure how to do this).
Okay. But if the article is not about the HISTORY of GH in chronological order, then why not list every supercouple that has been mentioned as a supercouple. Steve & Audrey, Alan & Monica, Rick & Lesley, Jake & Rose, Nikolas & Emily, Stone & Robin, Sonny & Carly, Jason & Sam, Jason & Liz, Liz & Lucky, Spinelli & Maxie, Dante & Lulu, Scotty & Laura, Scotty & Heather, Joe & Heather, Jeff & Anne, AJ & Carly, Kevin & Lucy, Jax & Brenda, Patrick & Robin, Jason & Robin, Jason & Courtney, and on and on and on.
You get the point. So, my point is why are Robert & Anna singled out to be a supercouple in the 80s history section? Can't there be a list of 90s supercouples and beyond? Because really, the 80s supercouples were in a class by themselves. They were all created by Gloria Monty. They were lead couples. And they kept GH #1. No other couples can say that.
But YOU have the power. I do not. I guess the best I can hope for is that you sincerely listen to my request.

But why were Robert & Anna listed there in the first place? They weren't put there until just recently. I honestly don't think they belong there with the other Gloria Monty 80s supercouples.
I'm interested why you find it difficult in discussing Gloria Monty's reign. Maybe it would be better to group it that way. You could go from 1978-1987 - then list the 4 Gloria Monty supercouples. Then, you could go into the transition period. Then the Wendy Riche years. Then the Jill Phelps years. Then the Frank Valentini years. That might be a better way to group everything if you want to write the history of General Hospital.
Thanks OldGHFan

That's great! I'm glad we agree on something!! But if I can make one request - please do NOT put Robert & Anna as a supercouple during the Gloria Monty years. They weren't even a couple - much less a supercouple during that time. In fact, even when they were paired together in the 90s, they weren't called a supercouple. It was only years later that people started to give them that title and sort of forgot about true supercouples Robert & Holly and Duke & Anna. I think that's what gets me so mad because the actual history of what really happened in the 80s gets inaccurately recorded. And then people cite, "they have a source" and then it's suddenly gospel. I want this ACCURATELY recorded. Luke & Laura, Robert & Holly, Frisco & Felicia and Duke & Anna were the true supercouples. They were the lead couples when GH was a cultural phenomenon and number 1 in the ratings. They deserve respect. Thank you.

The funny thing a lot of the sources from the 80s are not on the Internet. So how can you cite them? I have a SOD magazine from 1990 that lists the greatest love stories of all time from each show. Robert & Holly was chosen for GH - even beating Luke & Laura - but I can't cite that source because it's not online. Really none of the stuff from the 80s is online. So we have recent articles that retroactively state some couple is a supercouple and because that's online that now has more weight. It's wrong. And I get you don't want to delete anything but Robert & Anna were just recently added to that section. If anything,they should be deleted and then you should look for clarification. Again, they weren't a supercouple in the 80s which is what the current article is about. Unless you're okay with inaccuracies.

Thank you for listening to me. It means A LOT. I noticed the changes that you made to the GH history section. I like them. A lot. Again, sorry for taking up so much of your time. It's just that in recent years supercouples Robert & Holly and Duke & Anna got slighted a bit in favor of Robert & Anna. I guess I'm a bit sensitive. Thank you for including Robert & Holly in the overall supercouple list. It means a lot.
--OldGHFan (talk) 14:43, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
HELP! If I have sources that say Robert & Holly ARE a supercouple but they are not online. How do I get them online? Most of the legitmate supercouples were in the 80s and I have evidence that Robert & Holly were called a supercouple. I think what SOD prints in the 80s and 90s should certainly have more weight than what a mainstream magazine prints 2 decades after the fact. How do I get this evidence online? Thank you in advance.
