50 Greatest Love Stories article
Jessica and Cristian got #43 in Soap City's great love stories...
Their first encounter: Although they went to the same Llanview high school, Jessica and Cristian officially met for the first time at a dance party in Angel Square, Crisitan's blue-collar neighborhood.
Their most romantic moment: A secret rendezvous at Viki's log cabin on Llantano Mountain.
Their hottest kiss: It didn't happen until several years later when they made love for the first time.
Their favorite hideaway: Cristian's art studio.
Their biggest enemy: Roseanne (who schemed constantly to keep them apart).
Their special song: The song "Two Different Worlds" could have been written for these classically class-conflicted kids.
Their coolest caper: Although Jessica was carrying Will's baby (the result of a drunken, one night stand when Jessica mistakenly thought Cristian didn't love her anymore), Cristian wanted to marry Jessica and raise the child as his own. They ran away to elope, but in the end Jessica couldn't go through with the marriage. However, the couple did become formally engaged later on.
Their Most Perilous Stunt: Cristian and Jessica teamed up to prove that Jessica's grandfather, Asa, had set up Will, who had been found guilty of embezzlement. Jessica tricked Asa into confessing his misdeed on audiotape. They were caught in the act by Max, but Cristian managed to smuggle out the tape.
Their Biggest Jam: With the tape in hand, Jessica and Cristian boarded the train that was taking Will to Statesville Prison. When the train crashed, Will, Jessica, and Cristian went on the lam. It should be noted by this time, Jessica was torn between two lovers; she claimed she loved both Will and Cristian.
Their biggest separation: After a pregnant Jessica was hit by a car, she lost the baby and fell into a coma. When Jessica awoke, she had no memory of her love for Cristian. After a series of misunderstandings, Cristian and Jessica parted and he wound up marrying Roseanne.
Their sweetest reunion: Moments after Cristian and Roseanne exchanged vows, Jessica ran into the church and informed Cristian that his bride was "a lying bitch". It was because of Roseanne (not to mention Will and Asa) that Cristian and Jessica needlessly broke up. Cristian declared his intention to have his marriage annulled (which proved to be an arduous process) and to reunite with Jessica.
Where they are now: Will was eventually cleared of all charges, and by then Jessica realized Will was the man she wanted to be with. She and Cristian are still very close, and Jessica will always acknowledge him as her first love, but they are no longer a couple.
