If Lord of the Rings was a soap opera...

[Linnahiril Tinnufinwen]

I agree with Boromir that the Aragorn-Arwen-Eowyn love triangle would make some great soap opera material. Eowyn and Arwen would probably have some kind of show down, where Arwen would insist that she was pregnant with Aragorn's child, and Eowyn would confess that she is dying of some rare African disease.

Then, of course, there are the denied homosexual feelings between Frodo and Sam. Sam would become jealous of the ring, because the ring is seducing Frodo for his money to enable him to get back at his former lover, Sauron. But as it turns out, the ring just wanted to use Frodo as a vehicle to get back together with Sauron. But Gollum is unrequitedly in love with the ring, so he trys to get with Frodo in order to get back with the ring, but is constantly thwarted by Sam, the true "nice guy", who has true love for Frodo, and is tormented to watch all of this drama play itself out in front of his eyes.
