We Love Soaps named As The World Turns' Henry and Katie to their list of Top 30 Dynamic Duos (by my calculations, they came in at #16).
I've never made a secret of their being two of my favorites, especially after I "co-wrote" a pair of novels with them. "Oakdale Confidential" with Katie, and "The Man From Oakdale" with Henry. (Though, I must say, being imaginary people, they make very lazy collaborators. I had to do all the work myself!)
"Oakdale Confidential" was a NY Times best-seller, and "The Man From Oakdale" won the Scribe Award at Comic-Con for Best Tie-In Novel of the year.
For those who never got a chance to read either, here is a free excerpt from "Oakdale Confidential," featuring Katie and Henry at their scheming - and thus hilarious - best.

Am I the only one who never quite bought the ATWT Henry character as straight? Perhaps it was how the actor played the role, and I know it's really a subjective call. However, his character -- Not really being able to seal the deal with Katie, accidentally bagging the exotic beauty Vienna, often winding up in pseudo drag or costume, sometimes with muscly leading men with their shirts off, ending up with the rich older damaged Barbara -- was so camp! He reminded me a bit of the actor Jack Lemmon, some of whose roles were a bit down (or up?) the Kinsey scale.
