12. Oliver Jones and Hope Logan

When viewers think of Hope’s first love, they picture Liam Spencer. But Hope’s real first love was Oliver. He was a photographer at Forrester Creations when the character of Hope was SORASed to a teenager in 2010. Oliver was smitten with her at first sight. They started dating but Hope made it clear she was a virgin and was not yet ready to take the next step in their relationship. In a case of mistaken identity, Oliver thought Hope was ready during a masquerade party for her high school graduating class. Hope and her mother Brooke were both dressed in the same costume and Oliver ended up having sex with Brooke at the party. Brooke thought he was Ridge and Oliver thought Brooke was Hope. This incident ended any chance this forgotten couple ever had.

Days turned into months and, even though Quinn had loathed Liam, she fell in love with his alter ego, Adam.

1. Bill Spencer And Quinn Fuller

Many viewers forget that not so long ago, Bill and Quinn had a secret affair, while Brooke was waffling about whether she wanted to be with him. Bill was living at the beach house and Quinn would sneak in after dark. They had rough and tumble sex several times. Quinn was clad in black leather and had a whip in her hand as they threw each other against walls, the floor and finally, Bill’s bed. These two have a love to hate each other relationship and their off the chart chemistry could give Still a run for its money. This couple may be forgotten, but they’re not gone forever. On a soap like B&B, who knows what could happen between “Quill” in the future!
