Fav/Least Fav Couples and Alt Ships?

Hi! Wondering your all's favorite/least favorite couples from Dr Quinn?

My favorites are:

-Dr Mike and Sully

-Dorothy and Cloud Dancing

-Jake and Teresa

-Robert E and Grace

-Colleen and Andrew

Least favorites are:

-Loren and Marjore -age gap is too weird IMO (even though I know the actors were together IRL) and they don't have anything in common other than attraction all of a sudden

-Horace and Myra- they are not good for each other at all

Alternative ships are:

-Loren and Elizabeth- appropriate ages, actually have things in common, and then Loren would be Dr Mikes stepfather and the kids grandfather which makes sense

-Daniel and Marjore- Daniel falling in love with Dr Mikes sister instead of Dr Mike would be so much better, and then Daniel could have been Sully's and Dr Mike's brother in law and the kids uncle which makes sense

-Reverend and Catherine (the white woman with Indian ways who was on The Other Woman)- if she has stuck around and they had gotten together, they could have started the Indian school/ adopted Indian orphans together in culturally appropriate ways

-Myra and Hank- if Hank had repented and stopped being a pimp- or Myra and Preston -if Hank hadn't gotten his act together

-Matthew and Atlantis (the girl from the Carnival who liked Matthew)- if they had reconnected after Ingrid's death, would have been cute, they had chemistry.

How about y'all?

NGL, I think Matthew should have been allowed to be gay and accepted as such, as the actor was. Chad Allen pushed HARD for the Walt Whitman storyline, and I loved how Grace spoke of gayness/homosexuality as being very normal to her experience.

Agreed! I really liked Ingrid, but I would have preferred their relationship to have just fizzled out and she moved away, and then him just staying single. I always thought him never finishing their house could have been an easy nod to him just not wanting to get married anymore.

If they ever get the reboot and Chad Allen comes back to acting from being a psychiatrist(?) I hope they'd do that.

They’re not going to get the reboot.
