February Love on ‘General Hospital’: Here’s What’s In Store For Several Couples
Tomorrow is February 1 and you know what that means! We are only 14 days till Valentine Day’s and the kick-off to the most romantic time of the year. And what is the top reasons people watch their favorite dramas? Yup, for all the lovin’ and romance.
Coming up on ABC’s General Hospital, we’ve got the skinny on five Port Charles pairings for February, and where they may be headed coming out of this week’s blizzard!
In their February preview, Swoon focused on these duos, now let us take a closer look. First, Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) and Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening).
NATHAN AND LULU

According to the outlet, they will have trouble keeping their distance. But, of course, with his former wife and her best friend, Maxie (Kirsten Storms) set to wake up from her months long coma, just after the two shared a passionate kiss where they both admitted to each other that they each liked it, complications will ensue.
We predict several months of longing looks between Nathan and Lulu, while Maxie might figure out that this Nathan is not really her husband, but a twin or a doppelganger, after all. It will be interesting to see how GH crafts the story and who we will be rooting for to get together come spring.
LUCY AND JENZ

Then, there is Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) and Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota). Lucy likes powerful and rich men, and with Sidwell, it’s hard to decipher if he truly likes Lucy at all, or just using her like he does everyone else. Come February, Lucy gives him an ultimatum. But, just how long before she realizes she misjudged a guy, once again, and he is actually a very, very, very bad man?
After all, Sidwell shot and killed Professor Henry Dalton right in front of Britt, he has Anna captive and is in cahoots with Cullum, etc, etc. But, will Lucy stay in a relationship with him, so come May he can fund the Nurses Ball again? Stay tuned.
CURTIS AND JORDAN

Next, Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) and Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) enjoy some romance. But for how long? If Portia’s baby turns out to be Curtis’, will it draw him back to Portia? Can Curtis and Jordan actually stay together this time given their past? Will Stella or the Ashfords somehow interfere with their relationship, and what about Isaiah? Will he go from a once good guy doctor to someone more vengeful if he doesn’t get Portia to himself? Would he switch her paternity tests so he will stay with him? Stay tuned.
BRITT AND JASON
What about Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton)? After Britt finally confessed what happened to her after she was taken to the Five Poppies, who was involved, what she has been working on, and how much danger she and Jason are both in, they agree they have to publicly part ways. However, be on the lookout for a secret rendezvous for Valentine’s Day.
ELIZABETH AND RIC
Can exes Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) and Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) finally get on the same page and leave the past behind? Seems like Ric will be taking head nurse Webber out on a date. But, will things work out between the two? Do you want them too, or is Ric a better match as the ‘Bickersons’ with Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn)?
From the five couples talked about above, which are you most intrigued at seeing where their relationship might go? Who are you a “no go” with? Let us know via the comment section below.
NO to Ric and Liz! She can be a pain but deserves way better than him and though I applaud his trying to become a better person, I think he is too damaged and eventually will retreat to what he knows best scheming, conniving and generally making life harder for everyone!
Jason and Britt PLEASE
Lulu and Nathan NO, unless the rules of the girl code are STRICTLY followed. Hands off a friend’s man unless she is ok with it. Now if Maxie wakes up and realizes Nathan is NOT who he says he is and Maxie does the best thing for Maxie which is to accept Spinelli’s proposal, then fine if Lulu is ok knowing Nathan is an imposter. If she wakes up and still has feelings for Nathan and it IS him, then a VERY serious discussion has to happen between Maxie and Nathan and them only.
Jordan and Curtis jury is still out. I would prefer the baby not be part of the equation, but don’t want anything to happen to Portia or the baby. I also would like to know who Dr Gannon really is and what his story is. Portia has had enough problems, she does not need any more surprises!
Curtis and Jordan are one of the worst pairings on gh currently they have zero chemistry together and give us more of Isaiah and Portia pairing on screen currently
Please pair Curtis with Jordan. I never wanted him with Portia.
I could not agree more
Hoping Maxie wakes up and immediately suspects he’s not Nathan. Then, when Liesl comes to visit, she asks why no one exhumed the grave was she buried Nathan.
Let’s have Lucy be smart this time (and not fall into a similar trap she did with Victor Cassadine).
Ric and Elizabeth? I guess they’re both single, but he always winds up breaking her heart. Alexis has enough going on without venturing into the romance department.
No to ric and liz
Nathan and Lulu: I don’t think Nathan is legit. So, I certainly don’t want him pairing with Maxie. Maxie belongs with Spinelli. And she should realize that when she wakes up. I don’t know who I’s pair Lulu with. I feel very strongly that Lulu and Dante are completely over. Their needs to be new characters come in for Lulu and Dante.
Lucy and Jenz: A gigantic NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lucy needs to wake up and steer clear of that snake. Jenz is a better fit for Ava. Lucy and Martin need to find their way back together.
Curtis and Jordan: I’d like to see them make it and wish them very well. Regardless of the paternity test results, I think Curtis and Portia are history. I want Isaiah Gannon’s father to turn out to be RJ Gannon and for RJ to pay a visit to Port Charles. We could use some RJ wit. Besides RJ is very capable of manipulating a paternity test.
Jason and Britt: They deserve each other because they are both nothing but bad news.
Elizabeth and Ric: I applaud Ric trying to become a better person. But, he’s got a very, very long way to go. Elizabeth is truly a good person. She’s had to deal with so much with deadbeats Lucky and Jason and then the character that Roger Howarth played that died. Please give Elizabeth a break and find her an honest, honorable man.
Jason is not trouble. He’s a good person and he cares deeply for the ones he loves!!!!
Jason is a love the one your with guy too fickle
Agree
Jason is a perfect gentle man only he is not a law bidden citizen but he is loyal dependable understanding mostly trustworthy he would give up his life for his love one most of all he does not pretend (what you see is what you get)take it or live it l am very found of the character.
Unlike Curtis, Isaiah’s love for Portia is not determined by how much he can control her. I don’t see him switching the paternity test. I also don’t see Curtis going back to Portia. She’s finally free of him. Let’s keep it that way. Let Jordan and Curtis be two self-righteous, pathetic peas in a pod.
It a big NO for Liz and Ric!!! She deserves better.
Man, it seems like these writers seriously don’t care for Elizabeth/Becky. Why can’t they give her a strong lead story instead of another wash, rinse, repeat of the past. I wish they would bring her sons home, and give her a NEW love interest. Dante is single. Liz and Dante could come together and figure out Willow is guilty of shooting Drew and she caused his stroke. Both have lost a partner they loved, they could bond over that and find love with each other. She could help him navigate his relationship with Gio.
But no, they just use Liz to prop up Ric. Again. YAWN!
If Lulu has moved on, I say take a risk and give Liz and Dante a chance at love.
Ric has great chemistry with Alexis. Yes, they bicker but I enjoy their banter. They were a great match years ago before the writers ruined them. Plus, it would be great drama if Ric and Alexis end up together only for Molly to discover the truth about what led to Ric’s stay in the basement.
Very much like the idea of Elizabeth and Dante for the reasons you listed Gracie. Let’s hope the writers come to the same conclusion.
I wish they would, but I have very little faith in these writers when it comes to Elizabeth. It’s like they just don’t care about her character. Elizabeth hasn’t had a decent storyline since Franco was killed off. I miss FRIZ. They were a great match. I would rather see Elizabeth and Dante in a new romance instead of Elizabeth with Ric for the 100th time.
Agree 100 the way elizabeth/becky is treated is shameful
I wish Lulu and Nathan would work out but seeing as he MAY not be (probably IS NOT) who he says he is, that seems doomed. Maybe they could write it that the guy he really is was brain-washed and wasn’t “playing” Nathan on purpose. Then they could continue.
Lucy and Jenz? Lucy always gets herself into trouble because of bad guys. I don’t want Jenz with anyone. But I do think it would be fun to see Lucy and Ava catfight over him. Jenz would probably be amused.
I like Jordan and Curtis together and Portia and Isaiah together. Hope each couple has a fresh start and don’t rehash old patterns.
Britt and Jason have always been end-game for me. I like the way Jason softens her jagged edges. And when Jason is around her his stone-cold demeanor seems to start melting.
The writers have woefully neglected Liz, sending all her children off canvas when they were just developing interesting stories. They gave her a promotion right into oblivion. At least Ric is like a puppy dog around Liz. The problem is forgetting all the terrible things Ric has done in the past. They need to show he has really changed before I would fully accept him with LIz.
And though not mentioned in this story, how about some other potential couplings?:
Tracy and Martin. – Yes, please!
Valentine and Carly – Yeah, no. Friends? Sure.
Jack and Carly – I liked them together until it seemed Jack was nefarious. But now that Callum is on the scene and seems to be the one calling the shots, it seems like they’re trying to redeem Jack by making it seem his “bad deeds” were actually Callum’s fault. Maybe Jacks in it for the long haul.?
Danny and Charlotte – No thank you. Too yucky on paper. If I forget that they’re related, the actors are cute together. But, no. Where’s Georgie?
Trina and Kai – Zzzzz. Oh! Sorry, I fell asleep.
Michael and Jucinda – Yes, please! Something, though, has me wondering if the writers are going to turn them into a triangle with Kristina. Hmmm…
Molly and Cody – Cute.
Brook Lynn and Chase – Couple most in need of rescuing and a decent storyline. Adopt a kid or have a miracle baby already and start that family. How I miss Chase’s niece!
Marco and Lucas – My vote for most ruined couple. Marco didn’t need to be so complicit with his father. He could have had shades of gray. But now I wouldn’t trust him to pour me a glass of wine without poisoning it. Lucas deserves better. Even Brad was better. And where’s Felix?
Spenelli and Maxie – Yes, please. They may be boring and ordinary, but that’s nice to show regular couples. They are interesting enough on their own to get good stories.
Mac and Felicia – Same as their daughter above. Just give them a good story supporting each
other.
Sonny and Justine – Yes, please. The cat and mouse, tug of war game they seem to play is fun to watch.
Yuri and Terry – My vote for couple in need of some screen time and a story. People love them and yet Terry has been lost at GH while Yuri occasionally answers the door at the Q mansion. Where’s the love, writers???
And one last thing…I wish the writers would bring Aiden home and continue the story with Tobias.
JMHO.
Nice thorough analysis. I don’t agree with some of those you mentioned but respect the thought put into this.
I doubt whoever “Nathan” is lasts all the way through 2026. So, this Lulu flirtation playing out is not that bad.
Instead of a Martin-Tracy pairing, I’d like to see Tracy scheme to get Martin and Lucy back together after Lucy’s dalliance with Jenz ends.
There’s a promo shot of Elizabeth and Dante this week. Don’t know if it’s a chem test, but as another commenter said it’s not a bad idea. I’d prefer to see a triangle with Dante-Justine-Sonny pitting father against son. Dom and Nazneen look really good together.
If Kai or Marco make it to the midway point of 2026, I’d be surprised.
Yes to more Yuri-Terry and recast Aiden with Tobias.
Elizabeth and dante
I honestly couldn’t care less about Lucy and Jenz. Curtis and Jordan are boring to me. I would replace them with Michael and Jacinda and Emma and Gio. Both couples are far more interesting and have better chemistry.
Ric has almost killed Elizabeth twice, by his own hand. And then Faith nearly killed her once because she was having an affair with Ric. Ric has lied to her, manipulated her, and humiliated her multiple times. Why on earth would anyone who is an Elizabeth fan with her to be with him?
Not me no to elizabeth and ric put her with dante
Oh, and hell no to Jason & Britt.
You’re right no to Jason and britt
Absolutely no Jason ang britt Jason is too good for britt all she is using him she has too many issues Jason needs a woman to support him no matter what too bad carly will always be his friend and I hope it stay that way.

General Hospital fans took to social media following the airing of the Wednesday, October 21 episode of the ABC daytime drama series. In story, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) reveals to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) that she has received an offer to join the top law firm in Chicago that practices civil law. She says it’s her dream job.
The problem Molly says is relocating from Port Charles and uprooting her life and being away from her mother, Scout and boyfriend Cody Bell (Josh Kelly). Wistful that she may lose another daughter to a long-distance situation (Kristina left a few months back to go to medical school in California), Alexis urged Molly to get Cody to go with her.
Molly still seemed concerned and has trouble committing to the idea. Alexis tells her to talk it over with Cody. Meanwhile, Cody asked Tracy (Jane Elliot) is he can have Thanksgiving off because he and Molly planned to spend Thanksgiving together with their families. After initially balking, Tracy agrees.

WILL MOLLY AND CODY HEAD TO CHI-TOWN?
Later, Cody shows up at Miller & Davis and the conversation turned to Thanksgiving dinner that Alexis is hosting. Molly and Cody asked her not to cook anything. Cody hugged Molly reassuring Alexis that he and Molly would take care of whatever was needed on Turkey Day.
So, this raises the question, why out of nowhere are we learning that Molly received an amazing law offer in Chicago, if the character was not being written out? If Molly leaves the canvas, would the character of Cody make his exit too?
Kristen Vaganos joined GH as a recast Molly Lansing-Davis back in September of 2023 and went on contract in August of 2024. Josh Kelly began playing Cody Bell back in June of 2022. Initial reports were that Kelly joined the show on contract and then as of June 2025 went on recurring status with the show per his choice.
Do you see a world where GH is writing out Molly and Cody? Would you be sad to see Kristen and Josh exit the soap opera? If this is not what is going on, is this just a plot point for some other story that is upcoming? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.
It’s been over two-years since his last appearance on General Hospital, now fan favorite Kin Shriner (Scott Baldwin) has taken to social media to share his thoughts on the casting of his grown-up TV daughter, Serena Baldwin now played by Kelly Kruger.
Kelly took over the role of Serena on-screen starting with the July 30, 2026 episode and has been ensconced in the storyline with her mother, Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring), in trying to win back full creative control of Deception for her.
In fact on the Monday, October 19 episode of the ABC soap opera, Serena tried to dupe Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) into signing over Michael’s (Rory Gibson) shares of the company. Jason caught on and wondered why she was doing this. She claimed she just wanted to help her mom gain creative control from Tracy (Jane Elliot) rather than full ownership, and begged Jason to keep quiet about it, which he agreed to for now.

WHERE IS SCOTT?
On Monday, Shriner also took to X and said, “I think Kelly Kruger is doing a great job on General Hospital, and she and Lynn Herring work well together.” That was followed by comments in his thread about the show needing to bring back Scott too.
In fact, back on August 25, Shriner also took to X with a reminder that Scott is still around and ready to come back to Port Charles, sharing, “Scotty Baldwin always fits in he just needs the right sport coat !!!!”
The last time Serena mentioned her father Scott was when Kruger made her debut and informed Lucy that her father was, “living his best life in Key West.” Meanwhile, Shriner posts on his X account continually and shared back on August 2, that it has been 49 years since he made his on-screen debut as then teenaged, Scotty Baldwin and thanked the fans for al the love and support.
So, now let us know, are you enjoying Kelly Kruger as Serena Baldwin? Do you want to see GH bring back Scott Baldwin into the story, so Serena has both her parents in Port Charles? Do you like the potential of Jason and Serena pairing? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
