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
Kelly Sullivan Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’s’ Maura West Recalling When Ava Shot Connie (Exclusive)
It was just over 13 years ago on General Hospital when Ava Jerome (Maura West) shot and killed Kate Howard/Connie Falconeri (Kelly Sullivan) in an effort to keep her quiet from revealing that Derek Wells was actually Ava’s back-from-the-dead brother, Julian Jerome (William deVry). It’s a crime that somehow Ava never has quite paid for either.
The episode back aired on August 13, 2013 and viewers had to say goodbye to Kelly Sullivan who played Kate and her alter, Connie. In the story, just before she died, Kate/Connie scrawled the letters AJ in her own blood, initially making the PCPD and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) think that it was AJ Quatermaine (Sean Kanan) who did the deed.
Now, Sullivan recalled sharing scenes with the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning West, during a live conversation on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel. Kelly was the special guest talking about her recent return to the soaps in her new role as The Bold and the Beautiful’s Darcy Dylan.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF MAURA WEST
Speaking of her final GH scenes and working with Maura West, Sullivan gave her then GH co-star major props. “If you’re going to be shot by somebody (on the soaps), you want to be shot by Maura West, c’mon!”
Maura West debuted back in May 2013 as Ava, and Sullivan remembered when the As the World Turns favorite began on GH. “I remember when Maura West first arrived at GH. She walked in with this cute little bob (hairdo) and she’s just delicious,” shared Sullivan.
A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
Kelly revealed more about Maura, adding “I think she’s amazing! I remember right before I left the show, someone suggested, and I would still love to do this with her, if she ever want to, but someone suggested that they wanted to direct the stage play A Streetcar Named Desire with Maura and I, where I would play Stella and she would play Blanche! Wouldn’t that be great?”
Speaking of the Ava/Connie showdown scenes, Sullivan expressed, “On television and on General Hospital specifically, Maura West is able to play a character who does the most horrendous things and you still care about her and that’s the mark of a really great actor. In other words, you’re able to be liked in the midst of the most horrendous things, and as a performer not shying away from that, and to just have the courage to do what’s on the page (in the script).”

KELLY SULLIVAN PARTING THOUGHTS AS SHE LEFT GENERAL HOSPITAL
Kelly also shared her sentiments when she walked off the set of General Hospital after her run back in August of 2013. “I really was honored. Every day I would go to work and I would say a little prayer, which is I want to do justice for my character, explained Kelly. “It’s between me and my character. I get to walk this path with her and to leave the show on that note, which is, I left every out there. I just gave it my all and again what an honor it was to play Kate/Connie.”
You can catch the full conversation with Kelly where she talks about her time on General Hospital, The Young and the Restless where she played Sage Warner and now The Bold and the Beautiful below.
So, do you remember the Ava and Connie scenes where Ava shot and killed her? What did you think of Kelly Sullivan’s sentiments about Maura West? Share your thoughts via the comment section. But first, watch the reveal where Ava recalls murdering Connie below!
The question of will Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) stay awhile at General Hospital after his recent extended hiatus from the show earlier this year, has reportedly been answered.
TMZ via court documents obtained in Burton’s ongoing legal battle with his ex-wife Sheree Gustin, shared that Steve actually inked a new three year deal with the ABC soap opera back in June.
That is significant because it was June when Burton returned back to work as Jason. In addition, the court filing confirmed that Burton had already moved back to California from Tennessee.

STEVE’S HIATUS AND HIS RETURN TO PORT CHARLES
GH fans will recall, it was back in February of 2026, that Burton announced via his Instagram that he was stepping away from his role of Jason Morgan for short break and pointed to wanting to spend quality time with his new wife, Michelle Lundstrom Burton with whom he tied the knot back on May 17, 2025.
Steve expressed at that time, “I’m newly married and looking forward to spending some quality time with my family.” It was back on March 25 that viewers saw Jason carted away by the WSB after taking the fall for Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) who shot then WSB Director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).
Burton returned to work on June 1, and due to General Hospital taping roughly six weeks ahead of air, made his on-screen comeback on the July 13 episode.
GOING FOR GOLD AT THE UPCOMING DAYTIME EMMYS
Then, Steve and his enduring fans got an extra special treat on the same day, when it was revealed on Extra that he was nominated for the upcoming 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
Steve previously won in the Supporting Actor category for his work as General Hospital’s Jason in 1998 and as The Young and the Restless’ Dylan McAvoy in 2018.
Now with Jason and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship seemingly hitting the skids, plus Jason’s commitment to staying out of mob life to focus on being present for his son Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn), what does the future hold for the fan favorite character? Stay tuned.
So, happy to hear that Steve Burton signed a new three year deal with General Hospital? Knowing that, what storyline would you like to see Jason get involved and with who? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?
On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.
