| has gloss | eng: A supercouple or super couple (also known as a power couple) is a popular or financially wealthy pairing that intrigues and fascinates the public in an intense or even obsessive fashion. The term originated in the United States, and was coined in the early 1980s when intense public interest in fictional soap opera couple Luke Spencer and Laura Webber from General Hospital made the pair a popular culture phenomenon. Outside of the soap opera medium, the supercouple title has proliferated as a way of referring to certain fictional couples from primetime television dramas and film, such as Gone with the Wind, whose Rhett Butler and Scarlett OHara characters popularized the catch phrase "Frankly, my dear, I dont give a damn." The supercouple created by the ill-fated ex-lovers Rick and Ilsa in Casablanca has been called one of cinemas most beloved couples, and is regarded by the American Film Institute as the film industrys "top" romance. |
