Favourite WLW Love Stories, wherein:
a) both characters are 40+ and/or 50+ (I am including Hospital Central’s Maca & Esther here, because even though they were in their 30s when the relationship started, they were in their 40s when the series finished and they were together)
b) love stories are successful (even if the series ended but they were still together when it did). Honourable mentions available for ones that were almost fully successful, but soaps…so stuff doesn’t last forever.
c) can be from any country (list the country, and directions to YT clips if you can)
d) drama / romance / comedy / police procedural / hospital drama / soap, etc.
Some of my favourites include:
Hospital Central - Maca/Esther (Spain)
Holby City - Bernie/Serena (United Kingdom)
Hotel Mondial - Eva/Uli (Germany) - new favourite
Star Trek Picard - Seven of Nine/Raffi (United States)
Guiding Light - Olivia/Natalia (United States)
Eastenders - Eve/Suki (United Kingdom)
Emmerdale -Charity/Vanessa (United Kingdom) - only because I’m holding out hope that Mack leaves/dies and Charity & Vanessa eventually make their way back together
Last Tango in Halifax - Caroline/Gillian (honestly even SW has said they’re soulmates, so I’m counting it)
Doctor Who [Big Finish Audio] - Liv/Helen - it counts.

Gilgamesh when Kiki is around: These toys are all my toys. You only touch them because I allow you to. We will do battle here on the couch and I will destroy you.

watching the FANTASTIC guiding light otalia cut on YouTube and realizing that they must have experienced MAJOR budget cuts that impacted the quality of the show from the beginning of otalia to the end (which coincides with the end of the show). The story is engaging throughout but damn the quality of everything diminishes

I've moved my unfinished Guiding Light Otalia epic from LiveJournal to AO3 for convenience. And because a very sweet person commented on the story on LJ and noted they'd had to create an account just to leave it. I felt terrible about that.

Ace was a very clever dog. She would make plots to steal food etc. She would lie in wait for her chance.
Olivia is smarter than that. She recognizes that all the younger dogs will respond when she does a bark. Because she's the alpha (read: oldest, all of them look up to her), so if she stands at the door and barks, every other dog will go to the door and bark alongside her.
She is then free to casually stroll back into the living room, take the bone Trinket was just chewing, and take it off to a corner just for herself.
She probably could have just taken it from him upfront, he probably wouldn't have fought her bc she is Boss Queen, but no, she has schemes.
