GENERAL HOSPITAL: Would You Be Down With a Dante and Elizabeth Romance?
On the Friday, May 15 episode of General Hospital, Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) shared a heartfelt talk on trauma. Dante is so concerned for Rocco (Finn Carr), and how it affects someone for the rest of their life, which is something Elizabeth knows all too well, but got through it.
It all begins when Elizabeth shows up at Dante’s office ready for her date with Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst). How beautiful she looked did not go unnoticed by Dante. When the talked turned to how Dante told Rocco that he knew his son shot Cullum (Andrew Hawkes), he admits he is scared for his child, because he lost his innocence with the emotional baggage he now must carry forever of shooting someone.
Dante notices how Rocco is becoming more and more withdrawn and he wants to know how to help him. Elizabeth bring up how she can absolutely relate to trauma at a young age, just like Rocco. However for Elizabeth, her trauma came in the form of a brutal rape by Tom Baker. Speaking from experience, Elizabeth details that it was her friends and family like Lucky and Bobbie who helped pull her through. She encourages Dante to continue to show up and be there as support for his son.

SPECIAL DELIVERY
Next, an officer delivers to Dante the evidence from the pier shooting, which Dante plans on destroying. Before she leaves for her date with Ric, Liz reassured Dante he is doing the right thing to protect Rocco and she has done the same. She has left no record of Rocco’s hospital visit the night of the shooting. Liz leaves for her date.
THE WRONG SUSPECT
Then, Cullum storm troops in to Dante’s office demanding the evidence that the PCPD must have collected at the site of his shooting. Dante says that the evidence must be misfiled in the warehouse, but they will find it. However, Cullum realizes Dante is stalling and lying. Before heading to Dante’s office, Cullum paid a visit to Carly (Laura Wright) and saw a photo of Danny with Jason, triggering him to now believe that Danny may have been the person who shot him in the back on the pier!

DINING WITH RIC
At dinner at Café Cherie, Ric handed Elizabeth the folder with the priceless piece of artwork he’d purchased for her through Ava. Elizabeth loved it and went over to Ric and planted a kiss on him.
Will GH move Elizabeth into a romance with Dante? Do you think Liz and Dante make a cute couple? After today’s episode, it’s clear they very much like and admire one another. If so, what happens to Liz and Ric’s burgeoning repeat romance? Share your thoughts and picks via the comment section below.
In the ideal world, of course, Dante would ba back with Lulu and Liz would be with Lucky. Of course he would have to stick around long enough to make that happen.
Biggest problem with a potential Dante & Liz pairing? She’s with Ric. And as Dante’s brother Michael could tell him, the last thing you should want is to be in a “love triangle” with your uncle!
I would hardly compare Dante, Lizzy and Ric with Willow having a tawdry extramarital affair with Michael’s Uncle Drew. Lizzy hasn’t yet committed herself to a romantic relationship with Ric so she is still a free agent.
I love the long-standing connection with Elizabeth & Rick, the two actors work and play off each other so well. Dante has a lot on his plate and I think Dante, at some point needs a new love interest with a new character. I enjoy watching scenes with Rebecca and Ric. I did like the brief “thing” with Ric and Ava… but the story seemed like they were more invested to try out the Elizabeth and Rick dance. I would like them to be endgame. I think they balance each other so well. Rick is reforming and Elizabeth needs to get laid and Rick and Liz… are hot! I’m for Riz! Dante needs another gal.
These two have great chemistry so I would be down with it.
Yes I like Rick but like Liz with Dante more; there isnt the same chemistry there with Rick.
As much as I love Ric, I don’t want to see him back with Liz. Liz and Dante trigger this amazing chemistry that I think took everyone by surprise.
I am team Dante and Elizabeth. I love the chemistry between Liz and Dante. The writers are definitely building a relationship between them, and it is much better than her relationship with Ric. After reading the spoliers for today, I thought Liz would share her suspicions about Drew and Jack having a stroke or Drew’s SOS with Dante. Instead we got something much more intimate, something more personal. Elizabeth sharing with Dante about the trauma she faced after being raped kind of gives me hope that they’re planning to romance between them. I love how they’re building this special bond (protecting Rocco) between them.
The Liz and Ric relationship is trite! How many times can they wash, rinse and repeat that pairing. Last year when Lucky returned, some fans commented that Lucky and Liz were too toxic. But I think Ric was her absolute worst pairing. He was definitely the most toxic. Even Franco, the reformed serial killer, was a healthier relationship than Ric. I think they are better off as friends.
They should reunite Ric and Alexis. At least they’re funny. That would be an interesting pairing.
Right now all Liz has suspicions about the coincidence that both Drew and Jack would have a stroke in the same house a few months apart but no evidence to prove her suspicions.Plus Elizabeth may have known Dante has more important things on his mind right now than just her suspicions.Now if she gets evidence regarding her suspicions then i see her going to Dante.
Oh Liv, please no reuniting Ric and Alexis. They are funny because they hate each other and don’t trust each other. Them as sparring partners is fun. Them as romantic partners, no thank you. Been there, done that.
No thank you, Dante and Lulu are Endgame, bar none.
Not with this Lulu… and I like Lulu. Maybe if the original Lulu (Julie Marie Berman) had returned, it would work. But I don’t see a spark between Lulu 3 and Dante.
There are no absolutes in soap stories just as there are none in real life.
I most definitely would support an Elizabeth and Dante romance. I’ve expected that for several months now. They are so cute together. Elizabeth sharing with him the support system that helped her cover from the brutal teenage rape was so touching. They’re both recovering from the trauma of lost loves. They are both very solid, honest and honorable people. They are perfect for each other. Then there’s the Ric problem. I think Ric is genuine in his desire to repair his relationship with Sonny and to become a better man because of his love for Elizabeth. I just think there is too much baggage there. Plus, I think Ric’s involvement in Sonny’s organization will be problematic. Ric needs to move on with someone new.
Liz and Ric, they do have the chemestry
I like Ric right now. At least for right now, I’d rather see Elizabeth with Ric.
Ric and his silver hair is hot! However, he was always way too old for Elizabeth and I don’t want to see her regressing with Ric or Lucky! Elizabeth needs a fun romance and she has amazing chemistry with Dante.
Ric and Ava were awesome and the show dumped them in order for her to hang around with chemistry free Sidwell.
I have to agree with you SallyB. Elizabeth should not regress with Ric and definitely not with can’t commit Lucky. Elizabeth and Dante have great chemistry and pairing them would be great.
Love that the beautiful and smart Elizabeth is getting the attention she deserves. And unlike with Carly, I GET while men are totally enamored with her. It makes perfect sense.
Carly is literally a Greek goddess. I totally get why men fall all over her. Plus, she’s always the smartest, bravest and funniest girl in the room. I love the way she tosses her hair and laughs when she’s flirting with all the men. She is beautiful and majestic. Little Liz isn’t fit to wipe her shoes!
I like Dante and Elizabeth as friends and confidants and i hope it doesn’t turn romantic between them.
The writing for Dante is contrived and this pairing (potential ) with Liz is forced. They are going out le their way to drive a wedge between Lulu and Dante. In what world would Dante be discussing Rocco with anyone but Lulu. Perhaps Olivia or Sonny. And on paper , Liz should be much older than Dante. (Look at the history with Lucky , etc. who is how much older than Lulu?) I can buy the hospital interaction…and Liz has the same chem as Lucas with Dante.
While I like Liz, I have grown weary of th character being thrown at the feet of every man , only to result in a failed relationship. But hey, this version of Dante sucks and why not have Liz sleep through all of the men in Lulus life? That all being said , Alexa is a great recast .. very much a vibe like JMB (per DZ) … I don’t remember an actress be given such OOC /toxic writing.
I like Liz with Ric. Let’s keep Ric the good guy and so be it. Rather than yet another “who will Liz be with today?” Mantra.
I’m kind of torn. If you asked me last year, I would have said Ric-Elizabeth was been there/done that. His character growth over the past year and slow burn on the potential relationship with Liz has softened my take. Would love to see any of her sons come back and have a grudge with Ric.
Does Lulu’s high horse have room for a third antagonist? Her head explodes every time she’s around Britt and can barely keep it in around Brook Lynn. A Dante-Elizabeth pairing could add Liz to Lulu’s trigger points.
As a woman why would you go back to your abuser. Its like everyone forgot what Ric did to her in the past. So no. I definitely dont want her back with him. I also agree with others this Lulu isnt as good as the past ones. Chemistry is way off with her and Dante. liz would be strong love interest and support for Dante. Apparently the Corinthos men love Liz
You’re going to find that there’s a lot of folks here who really like Alexa Havins’ portrayal of Lulu. Don’t be surprised if she gets an Emmy nomination this year.
That is highly doubtful and I’m an Alexa fan!
General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Walks Away From The Mob After 30 Years; Steve Burton and Maurice Benard Deliver Emotional Moments
Is this the end of an era? It certainly looks like it after Jason (Steve Burton) explained to Sonny (Maurice Benard), why he can no longer work for him, and be his right hand enforcer for his organization on the Monday, August 3 episode of General Hospital.
In story, Jason filled Sonny in on everything that went down before he was taken into custody by the WSB including: his opportunity to kill Cullum, Rocco shooting Cullum on the pier, being carted off to Jakarta, and watching his son, Danny, who now only has one parent (since his mother, Sam McCall died in 2024) suffer the consequences of his actions. Jason made clear to Sonny he must be there for his son now and needs to set a better example for him.
As emotional Jason is trying to get the words out and becomes overwhelmed with sadness, because he is truly caught between his son and the man that changed his life after Jason sustained longstanding brain damage from being injured in the car crash nearly 30 years ago in 1996.

Jason recounts to Sonny what led him to this decision, “The WSB’s taking me in. They throw me shackles and then they force me in the back of a transport. Danny was there. He’s pounding on the door. Tears in his eyes screaming that what they’re doing to me is wrong. They just can’t take me off. I’m sitting there wondering, ‘What the hell have I done to my kid?’ His mom’s dead. I’m going to prison if I’m lucky. Something just breaks inside of me.”
“So, I promised myself, I got to do better,” continued Jason. “I failed my son too many times and I can’t do it again. If I keep working for you, then I’m going to make sure that your security’s my priority and not Danny. It’s not fair to you to keep me on when I can’t do the things I used to. I can’t kill for you again. I got to stop doing what I’m doing so Danny doesn’t follow in my footsteps.”
Next, Sonny lets Jason know Danny had already tried to join the mob in his absence, and that he knew Jason wouldn’t want Danny in this life, just like he would not want his own children. Jason thanks Sonny for handling the situation. He adds, “I just have a few years before Danny’s going to be out on his own. This my last chance to be a true father to him before he doesn’t even need me anymore. I’m out.”

Sonny gives Jason his blessing with tears streaming down his face, and tells Jason they will always be brothers, and they share a hug, before Jason exits.
Applause to Steve Burton who played the scenes beautifully, and Maurice Benard, who reminded us why the longstanding relationship between Jason and Sonny has been one of the all-time best and one of the cornerstones of three decades of GH. Burton should remember these scenes for potential inclusion for his Emmy reel for 2027.
So, what did you think of the scenes where Jason tells Sonny why he is leaving the mob and can’t work for him anymore? Do you think it will stick? In the past, these two have found themselves, often having to face a common enemy back working together and Jason goes right as Sonny’s enforcer? Were you moved by Steve and Maurice’s performances in the scenes? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob
This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”
Now it’s Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) vs. Curtis (Donnell Turner), as the surgeon is suing the owner of the Savoy for assault that ruined is ability to operate. At the end of the day, which of these men has enough evidence against the other? Portia (Brook Kerr) is by Isaiah’s side, while Jordan (Tanisha Harper) is with Curtis.
Next, Lucy (Lynn Herring) has a plan to get the controlling shares of Deception away from Michael (Rory Gibson). She wants her daughter, Serena (Kelly Kruger) to seduce Michael. She tells her, “Pick out your most seductive suit.” Soon, we see Serena in her bathing suit at the Metro Court face to face with Michael.
Later, there is a small baggie containing three blue pills. Nina (Cynthia Watros) ask Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), “What did you do?” We also see Michael asking the same thing of Jacinda (Paige Herschell). Leading into this week, viewers know that Willow doesn’t want the former escort anywhere near her children, Amelia and Wiley. Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.
