Relationship drama often drives the plot of our favorite soap operas, and a happy ending isn’t always right around the corner.

Some characters find a fairytale love story, but it’s rarely without a few bumps along the road. After all, affairs, amnesia and so many other unexpected plot twists make it pretty hard for a relationship to go the distance.

There isn’t often quite as much drama in real life, but the set of a soap opera is actually a spot where romantic relationships are born between costars. While there aren’t as many wild plot twists, these love stories can be nearly as contentious as the ones we see onscreen.

And they aren’t all guaranteed to last.

We previously rounded up 15 soap opera couples who are dating in real life, including one that has been married for nearly 50 years!

However, we were able to find as many former couples who have broken up. Several actors have dated and even married multiple costars. Others made it decades before deciding to call things off.

The list also includes stars who divorced and called of engagements or simply broke things off. There’s also one iconic love triangle that started out as the plot of a popular soap opera before bleeding over into real life!

The Bold and the Beautiful, otherwise known as B&B, is one of the biggest and most successful TV soap operas ever.

The CBS series first premiered back in March of 1987, as a sister show to The Young and the Restless. In fact, several stars have crossed over to the other show since the early ’90s.

The series is set in Los Angeles, and centers around the Forrester family and their haute couture business.

Over the years, the show has won 77 Daytime Emmy Awards, including three for Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series. Plenty of its stars have managed to accumulate an impressive amount of wealth as well.
