I love John and Natalie....nothing else will do for me.

Out of all of Natalies men ....she and John shared the most chemistry!

John and Natalie are still the one couple that has yet to have a pay-off. Nothing else will do!

I miss seeing John and Natalie together as a couple. No others come close to matching the chemistry they have.

John and Natalie had more natural chemistry than any couple on daytime. I miss them so much. I had always hoped that they would reunite.

Nothing has been the same for Natalie since John and Natalie broke up...actually nothing has been the same for the show or the viewers...what a shame.

John and Natalie were the best and can be again if someone would wake up and put them back together. Cris and Nat were cute, Jared and Natalie boring, but John and Natalie had it all. I wish we could see a John and Natalie story again.

Love Natalie. I liked Natalie best with John as well, but enjoyed the quiz!

Well, there is no question that John and Natalie were great together, and they should have had a fighting chance to be have a happy outcome. They should have gotten the payoff.

I'm sorry but Jared is too boring for Natalie. It's like there really wasn't a strong foundation for any sort of a real love story. Now, with John and Natalie, you had all the ingredients for a story which could have been catalytic for a very interesting and romantic love story.

Natalie was never more exciting than when she was with John. They brought a passion to this show that has been lackign for some time. Bring back John and Natalie!

Love [still do] john and natalie. There is no chemistry with jared and I hope that this wedding does not happen. I miss john and natalie and hope that the show reunite them soon! With jared, natalie has lost her "humph" and has become boring just like he is!

I really miss Natalie with John. Natalie had a lot more fire when she was with John. I hope that John and Natalie are reunited soon, so the show can have some sizzle again!!!!!

Thanks for the quiz, I miss Natalie and John so much that I gave up watching, the show just isn't the same without them. They were the best couple OLTL ever, John and Natalie reuniting is the only thing that would get me to watch OLTL again. I would be glued to my TV. That would be MUST SEE TV.

Anwered the quiz and it kinda made me sad because those were the good old days. As far as I am concerned that no man other than John McBain is the one for Natalie. This so called love for Jared is contrived from the start till now. Just because he says the words doesn't mean anything. To have a relationship built on lies and secrets will not last and I can't wait for that to happen, I was just hoping a skylight will be in his future.

I miss John and Natalie. They oozed chemistry when they were together. I miss those days. That is when both characters were at their best and most interesting. I rarely watch anymore because I miss them and Jared is a joke for Natalie as well as John and his current 'grannies'. Natalie was interesting, always getting into things she should not have, interacting with Rex. Good times! I miss those days.

Jared and Natalie are amazing, I can't wait for their wedding next week it will be amazing and intimate.

I just came across this site and am so pleased I'm not the only one by a long shot who misses John and Natalie. I love them together and still have faith that they will find their way back to each other again. I believe it's probably going to take something to happen first though, probably to Natalie as it seems to be her turn. Remember how it went before the plane crash (John), the tornado(Natalie) and the car accident(John). Once John accepts his badge back then maybe we'll see. Who do you think is gonna come to Natalie's rescue when she's hurt or in danger...Jared..lol please. And for a long time the writers have been doing their best to have John and Natalie do no scenes together in fact have them not even be on the same show yet still often show them together in the opening credits. Somethings gotta give eventually. Keep the faith and stay positive you guys. We will have our Jolie back. Keep this in mind, then longer the distance the stronger the reunion. John and Natalie 4ever~Love h
