Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Better as Friends: Spinelli and Maxie, Jason and Carly, though their respective pairings have their own fans. Spixie fans WILL go nuts if you bring this up. They will. Don't push it.
  • Black Hole Sue: Sonny, Jason, and Carly.
  • Creator's Pet: Several, but many fans agree they would like to forget Courtney ever existed.
    • Others, however, have seen her be a Ship Launcher.
    • Thanks to a Broken Base, this is what half the fandom thinks is happening whenever Spinelli hits the screen.
  • Die for Our Ship: The current most hot one is creating a fully Broken Base: the Spixies will die for their ship, while the Free Maxies will die for anything but. Except for two Spinellis.
  • Fan Dumb: Purists, Strawstuffers, Toxic Visionaries, and Mad Brides abound.
  • Fan-Preferred Couple: Luke and Laura, right from the beginning. Some might debate Liz/Jason, but that's why this is YMMV.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Three days after Ryan Carnes left the show and the role of Lucas Jones was given to Ben Hogestyn, the character came out of the closet. If Ryan had stayed on the show for another three days, he would have played his third gay character in a row. Ironically he left to play a character on Desperate Housewives - who is also gay.
  • Ho Yay: A lot during the years but taken to new heights by Franco's obsession with Jason.
    • Jason with guys in general, as expressed in this video.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Scotty, Bobbie, AJ, etc.
  • Les Yay: Carly/Courtney, Lulu/Maxie
  • Purity Sue: Jason, before and after the accident.
    • The irony of this is that Jason's portrayer, Steve Burton, actually asked for the radical change in personality, as he was tired of playing such a Purity Sue character--straight-A pre-med student, steady girlfriend, varsity athlete, community activist, etc. Only to have Jason Morgan, a mobster's errand boy/hitman, be essentially viewed the same way by the writers and other characters alike.
  • Tear Jerker: Dominique's death, BJ's death, Stone's death...
