Soapfan, I am glad that you are talking both sides of the age/sex spectrum, but I am sorry, I do not find age differences among couples all that bothersome except when (a) one of them is below the age of consent or (b) there are terrible consanguinity consequences or (c) when there are familial relationships that make them incestuous even if there are no consanguinity arguments or (d) when the older or the younger person is a person of power, the other person is enthralled in some way to the person of power and sex ensues.

In real life, I know many happy couples with almost as much age difference as 21 or so years, with either the man or the woman being the older. Left to myself, I would have only married a man who was at least 18 years older than me because I have always been attracted to wisdom that comes almost always through the processes of life (finally, I ended up marrying someone two years younger, because this someone had as much wisdom as someone who is at least 20 years older than him and continues to be so ).

Of the various matches you mentioned above, the only one that really bothers me is Marina and Mallett, because Marina seems infinitely juvenile, always. Not that Mallett feels old, it is that Marina feels - well, juvenile, immature and ... well, whatever.

As for him having been married to her aunt - that is so much water under the bridge since he has not been married to her aunt for a long time and since her aunt went after her man (Cyrus) in recent times.

In any case, the only other Springfield couple I can think of in this category are Ross and Blake, who are no longer a couple, but they became a couple when Blake decided to go afte her mother's BF in seeking revenge against her mother ...

Can you imagine having sexual relations with your best friend's CHILD??? That is just OUT THERE!!!

Oh I don't know - they did this on Friends with Courtney Cox's Monica and Tom Selleck's Richard (he was her father's best friend and was also her paediatric dentist to boot ), and it was very well done, exploiting all the dramatic potential, both comedic and otherwise.

The point is that if they explore the 'eeewww' factor as well as all the prejudices that exist in real life people's minds about May/December coupes, they could have done a great drama on GL wiht this pairing.

I don't like this pairing because, like Shelly, I simply cannot stand this Marina. She drips immature juvenility (I am not sure how to make anoun from the root word, so there, I just made it up) all the time. No matter what she does with her hair to make herself look older or something, I just want to send her to high school detention for roaming the hallways when she should be in class. I know, I am just being evil
