You can choose three and three only.

One - Steve Martin and Diane Keaton in Father Of The Bride. That's my marriage goal. Warm, loving and stable

Two - Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail. They were just so cute together

Three - Rocky and Adrian 🥊❤️

Someone up thread said Joe Mangle and Melanie Pearson. I was so sad when she died. Didn’t she get shot at a hunting protest? sigh I loved Neighbours ❤️

Aw that was Kerry who was shot, daughter of Harold, mother of Sky and woman of no shoes

Oh and Dexter and Emma when they finally stop pissing about and get together.

Jackie & Martin Goodman - Friday Night Dinner. He drives her crackers but they love eachother very much (i.e. 'nippy nippy' 😆).

I agree. I wish we could have seen more of their relationship after that moment. But it was the ultimate slow burn and final act of courage from her to finally take the risk. I like them because it was a very everyday sort of yearning love, no glamour just the mundane but done so well. I’m very sad about the news regarding Lucy Davis, she is brilliant.

MargotLovesTom · 09/09/2026 21:56

Sharon & Rob in Catastrophe.
Jess & Nick in New Girl had the best first kiss ever seen on screen.

Yes I think that was why we all liked Tim and Dawn so relatable. Such good actors both of them.
Unbelievably sad to hear the recent news.
