Current status: Happily. Their biggest obstacle: At the moment, his mother? Delusional as Sheila is, she somehow believes Finn and his wife will eventually carve out a place for her in their lives. Reality check? They actually simply want to carve her out, period.
Brooke and Ridge

Current status: Over. Until the next crisis. Their biggest obstacle: Ridge may have played ping pong with his love one too many times because Brooke finally had enough after his last attempt to run back to her and decided she didn’t need him. Good for you!
Katie and Bill

Current status: Done. Their biggest obstacle: The two have been doing their little dance for years as Bill tried wooing Katie back and she held him at arm’s length. Instead, he turned to…
Current status: Ride or die lovers. Their biggest obstacle: Good lord, we hope everyone and everything. She’s a psychopath and he’s a narccissist, so even if one of them isn’t taken out, we feel like the only way this can end is in flames.
Steffy and Liam

Current status: Friends and co-parents. Their biggest obstacle: When Finn “died,” we all feared these two would be drawn together again. But aside from her temporarily forgetting that they were no longer married, each remained loyal to their spouses and show no signs of straying.
Katie and Carter

Current status: Rekindled Romance. Their biggest obstacle: Let’s be honest, Sheila or no Sheila, is Bill ever going to let Katie go? With that said, her deciding she was better off without him and Carter moving on from Quinn’s epic ghosting is something we wholeheartedly cheer on.
Brooke and Bill

Current status: Magnetic exes. Their biggest obstacle: Brooke’s going her own way and Bill’s making poor choices — like tying himself to Sheila! For now, we’re guessing the magnetism might be a bit weak.
Liam and Hope
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI
Current status: One big, happy family. Their biggest obstacle: Thomas. He’s kind of all over the place, bouncing between horrendously bad decisions, crushing on Hope and trying to be a good guy. Who knows what he’s going to do next?
Sheila and Deacon
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI
Current status: Former lovers. Their biggest obstacle: Bill. Sheila is extreme even for Deacon. The two make a great scheme team, but her tendency to kill people doesn’t sit well with him. Bill, on the other hand, seems willing to go the extra mile Deacon never did!
Paris and Carter
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI
Current status: Over and done. Their biggest obstacle: Carter ditched her at the altar the moment Quinn became available. It’s pretty hard to imagine this relationship ever bouncing back from that!
Quinn and Eric

Current status: Separated. Their biggest obstacle: They got far more years together than anyone could have predicted, but they finally gave in to their passions for others: Eric for Donna and Quinn for Carter. Er, before she skipped town.
Katie and Wyatt

Current status: In the past… for now. Their biggest obstacle: If they ever reunite: Bill! No matter who he’s with, we seem him being ticked at this. Also, Katie’s heating up with Carter. In the meantime, Wyatt is still engaged to Flo, but their relationship can’t hold a candle to the passion he shared with Katie!
Quinn and Carter
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI
Current status: Oddly over. Their biggest obstacle: After all that huge buildup and Quinn’s dramatic wedding-crashing confession, their love lasted about 2.5 seconds until she left town and dumped Carter off-screen. What the what?
Bill and Li
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI
Current status: Friends. Ish. Their biggest obstacle: They were teased a bit and then… nothing. Instead, Bill shacked up with the woman who tried to murderLi. If that’s not a romance killer, we don’t know what is.
Flo and Wyatt
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI
Current status: Engaged forever. Their biggest obstacle: They’re rivalling Pam and Charlie for longest engagement. Do they even have feelings for each other anymore? If they aren’t married by now, please let the answer be no.
Brooke and Deacon

Current status: Nothing for now. Their biggest obstacle: Brooke says she doesn’t need a man and Deacon’s still caught up in all that Sheila drama — apparently unaware, though, that she’s got a new “protector” in Bill! These two just seem too messy to go anywhere at the moment.
Paris and Zende

Current status: Friends and exes. Their biggest obstacle: Zende seems more than happy to be her “rebound guy” after Carter, but that over-eagerness is what landed him in trouble with Paris the first time around!
Taylor and Deacon
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI
Current status: Acquaintances. Their biggest obstacle: Sheila — and distance. At one point, the sparks between them were flying fast and furious… But then Deacon got wrapped up in Sheila and Taylor went back to her Ridge drama. But since Taylor’s moved on and Sheila’s kind of done the same, maybe these two could reconnect!
Hope and Wyatt
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI
Current status: Left in the past. Their biggest obstacle: Wyatt can never seem to win out over his brother. Hope wanted Liam, and since they now share a kid, Wyatt’s chances seem all but nonexistent!
Donna and Eric
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI
Current status: Shacking up. Their biggest obstacle: How many times have they been here before? They’ve got passion aplenty but can she ever really morph into the next Forrester family matriarch?
Pam and Charlie
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI
Current status: Permanently engaged. Their biggest obstacle: Their own cold feet. We’ve seen dozens of characters tie (and untie) the knot since these two crazy kids fell in love. It’s time to stop stalling and make it official!
Hope and Thomas
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI
Current status: A rocky… friendship? Their biggest obstacle: Hope’s still got a pretty strong marriage to Liam going and Thomas still has a pretty troubling history with her. And his CPS stunt with her mom didn’t exactly score him any points. Anyone know where that mannequin is?
Taylor and Ridge
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI
Current status: Over. Their biggest obstacle: Ridge will always abandon Taylor for Brooke. Always. And after this last time at their wedding, Taylor seems to have finally understood that as well. She and Brooke have declared themselves done with Ridge and are now friends. And perhaps…
Taylor and Brooke

Current status: Newfound friends. Their biggest obstacle: Well, folks did not react well to the suggestion that their bonding over their new “Ridge For-Never” club could blossom into something more — but we stand by the possibility of a late-in-life discovery.
Zoe and Carter
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI
Current status: Doner than done. Their biggest obstacle: When he wanted her, she wanted Zende. When she wanted him, he wanted Quinn. Face it: They just weren’t all that into each other.
Bill and Quinn
Image Credit: Sean Smith/JPI
Current status: Ancient history. Their biggest obstacle: The love/hate relationship between Wyatt’s parents tends to veer toward hate. Also, Quinn left town for reasons unknown. So that doesn’t help.
Ridge and Katie
Image Credit: Sean Smith/JPI
Current status: So far in the past, it doesn’t even irritate Brooke anymore. Their biggest obstacle: Ridge misheard Beyonce and thought that if he liked it, he shoulda put a string on it. No, Ridge. Just no.
Steffy and Bill
Image Credit: Aaron Montgomery/JPI
Current status: Bygones. Their biggest obstacle: Surprisingly, it’s not the creep factor of her having already been with two of his sons, it’s the creep factor of him having macked on her during a fraught moment with then-husband Liam. Oh, and now he’s blackmailing her to save Sheila’s bacon. That’s… not good.
