Soap fans are a dedicated bunch. Whether it’s the high-stakes drama or the slow-burn romances, there is a specific vibe to daytime television that keeps us coming back for more, year after year. But let’s be honest: nothing gets us clutching our remotes or yelling at the screen quite like a legendary rivalry.
Soap Opera News recently ran a poll asking you to vote for the current soap rivalries that are keeping you the most entertained, and the results are officially in! From seasoned mob bosses to family feuds, here is who you picked as the top movers and shakers in daytime.
The Top Five Soap Rivalries
- Sonny vs. Sidwell (General Hospital)
CARLO ROTA, MAURICE BENARD
Taking the top spot with a solid 25.06% of the total votes is the explosive clash between Port Charles’ favorite mobster, Sonny Corinthos, and the mysterious Sidwell. Fans are clearly living for this high-stakes game of cat and mouse. Whether they are fighting over territory at the piers, clashing over the future of Deception, or protecting their respective families, these two have viewers completely hooked. Their intense dynamic was more than enough to land them at number one.
2. RJ vs. Will (The Bold and the Beautiful)
Coming in at number two is the tension brewing between RJ and Will. Just like their mothers, cousins RJ and Will can hardly see eye-to-eye on any matter. It clearly runs in the blood, too, considering their dads have a legendary history of clashing.
Right now, the battle isn’t just about family pride—it’s over one girl, Electra Forrester. The chemistry (or lack thereof) between these two has viewers totally divided. Everyone is deeply invested in seeing who will eventually come out on top at Forrester Creations and win the girl.
3. Katie vs. Brooke (The Bold and the Beautiful)

The Logan sisters take the third spot, proving that family drama never goes out of style. With Katie launching her “Logan” fashion house and using Eric’s designs, Brooke is far from thrilled. Fans are clearly enjoying the rift as these two struggle to see eye-to-eye about almost anything these days.
4. Hayley vs. Lynette (Beyond the Gates)
Over at Beyond the Gates, the rivalry between Hayley and Lynette has secured the number four position. This feud has everything—secret motives, business power plays, and a whole lot of shade. It’s a fresh, biting rivalry that has quickly become a fan favorite. However, fans can’t wait for the day that Hayley gets exposed!
5. Matt vs. Nick (The Young and the Restless)

Rounding out the top five is the ongoing friction between Matt and Nick in Genoa City. No matter what’s going on around town, these two always seem to be at each other’s throats, and the audience wouldn’t have it any other way.
Honorary Mention: Leslie vs. Everybody
We couldn’t leave out the #6 spot! The honorary mention goes to Leslie vs. Everybody on Beyond the Gates. Whether she’s pushing Shanice’s buttons, getting up in Nicole’s face, or causing chaos for the rest of the Fairmont Crest residents, Leslie has truly mastered the art of being the woman everyone loves to hate. And we’re not exaggerating.
