Personally, I think "repulsive" is being kind. The fact that that is essentially viewed as daytime drama's greatest romance disgusts me more than there are words for. I was watching General Hospital when their son found out about it...listening to her defend him and his pity party made me despise them both. "Oh, he raped me but I forgave him so you should too." "I raped her and I hate myself for but I lllloooooovvvvveeeeee her."

I think fans go "oh, well, but later he rescues her from evil Russians and he saves her from rape, so it's ok..." or some such...
