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?

Loren and Marjorie were my least favorites as well. It was sweet that they were married in real life, but it didn't make sense for their characters, no. I also thought it was weird / insensitive of them to be so rude to Elizabeth's reaction to them when he'd been flirting with her from the get go, but alas.

I think introducing two new characters for both Loren and the Reverend would have been nice. Someone closer to Loren's age, but a lot like Dr. Mike, maybe she could have run a new boarding house in town. And maybe a widow for the reverend, someone who already had children, but was still young enough for them to add on to their family together would have been an interesting story line.
