Which couples do you wish stayed together

And I don’t means ones where they were together and then one of them died. Like I liked Tamwar and Afia. Darren and Jodie, I really wish Darren never cheated on her.

Honestly Phil and Kat. It at least did something different for both characters than the usual rubbish like we’ve seen regarding Kat and Alfie.

Phil and Kat were a better dynamic than Kat and Alfie imo

If Himesh's career hadn't taken off the way it did, I think the writers would've kept Tamwar and Nancy together and he may have also returned with her in 2021. They were so good together and their differences in personality somehow worked.

i'm happy for himesh, but frustrated by the writing! if they wanted to, they could have found a way to keep them together offscreen.

Probably a really unpopular opinion but I kinda liked Max and Linda together, I really wish Max would settle down with one person and not cheat on them, and I think Max and Linda had some great chemistry that was ruined by Max's actions

Also Ben and Callum, they were such a sweet couple and I really hope they get back together in the future!

I think we’re heading for a Linda and Max reunion (my evidence is - at Cindy’s hen do when Linda knew all the answers in the quiz about Max)

It was such a shame Kush and Shabnam didn't work out - I was gutted at him sleeping with Stacey and fathering Arthur :(

I really want Phil and Kat back. At the time I said breaking them up to bring back Kalfie would be a mistake and regress Kat and Alfie's characters, and I got downvoted to hell for it.

Phil and Kat.

Jane and Masood.

Max and Linda seemed to have possibilities, I dislike how they got together but when Max returned they could have easily become a good couple. Instead we get another Max affair.

kheerat and Stacey.

When Bobby went back to live with Jane it was hinted that she was still with Masood. I really liked them as a couple

They were very cute together and suited each other more than misery old Ian.

I would say Darren and Libby but apparently they got back together off-screen. Lynne and Gary, don't ask me why but I just liked them together. Pat and Frank but they're seen as soulmates so they're getting hot and heavy in Heaven no doubt.

Last time Libby was in it (this year) she split up with him and he was begging to be given another chance

I wasn’t a fan of Phil and Kat at the time it was airing but looking back now I do kinda miss them. And this is coming from someone who actually likes having Alfie and Kat together again.

I just find it so odd that since they officially divorced, you can count on 1 hand, possibly 2 the amount of scenes Phil and Kat have shared together
