At any rate, today Soaps.com has evaluated soapdom’s most formidable feuding fellas of all time and ranked them, from least to most antagonistic. Included in our Top 10 sparring partners are a Bold & Beautiful duo who, though they’re clearly cut from the same womanizing cloth, would like to rip each other to shreds; a Days of Our Lives pair whose years-long war was, in the most twisted of ways, a family affair; General Hospital nemeses that were arguably equally awful for the women that they claim to have loved; and a Young & Restless twosome that never met a hatchet that they wouldn’t bury.

In one another’s back. But that went without saying, didn’t it?
