I actually always thought exactly the same thing about these two, there's a brief mention of the two of them meeting, which is when Cheryl finally finds out exactly what kind of person James Taggart is, I remember the first time I read it I thought that something might happen there - somewhat disappointing that it didn't.
I think you are right. Eddie is my favorite character in AS. I think that he survives (based on something Rand said), and I wish that he had met with Cherryl more.
I think that Sheryl was swept up by Jim's wealth, which she naturally assumed was a product of virtue, instead of second-hand virtue.
I agree her and Eddie would probably match well, but that just wasn't their purpose in the novel. I really like Sheryl's function in the book though if you know what I mean
Cherryl's suicide is supposed to indicate what an oppressive atmosphere does to innocence. Eddie Willers didn't die. His fate is bound to whether or not the heroes succeed.
I disagree. Many people love each other because they are opposites.

There is a reason that Atlas Shrugged is still #2 best seller of all time!!

I'm sorry I haven't been paying attention to YouTube for a while. I'm glad you did this long-awaited video! :-D

I agree--they would have been in love at first sight.

imre,
you're an idiot. You'd keep from looking like a fool by not commenting on books that are obviously over your head.
