GENERAL HOSPITAL: Lulu and Nathan Kiss; Charlotte and Danny Kiss, Tracy Recalls Her Relationship with Luke Spencer
The Thursday, January 29 episode of General Hospital had social media abuzz, after who wound up in a smooch, plus gave us some bread crumbs for potential pairings that could shake up the canvas as the Port Charles blizzard continued to strand everyone from Spoon Island and everywhere in between.
Let’s break down the duos of who are riding out the snow storm, and what we think of their future could be starting with a long-awaited moment and conversation between Martin (Michael E. Knight) and Tracy (Jane Elliot).
The two embroiled sworn enemies put their gloves down, sort of, and found common ground. From the well-written dialog in their scenes, it’s clear to us that Martin and Tracy may just have a shot at romance, if things continue to thaw between them.
TRACY AND MARTIN

In story, while stuck at Drew’s, Martin goes at Tracy for breaking up his relationship with Lucy Coe and making him believe she cheated on him with Scott Baldwin, which she wound up doing, anyways. Tracy points out Martin’s ability to pick the wrong type of women who bleed him try. That’s when Martin pipes up about Tracy’s ex Luke Spencer (the late Anthony Geary) marrying her for her money. Tracy admits it may have started that way, but then laments about Luke.
Tracy recalled, “Later (in our relationship), we both realized that what we had was worth more than money and was worth fighting for. What Luke had with Laura had nothing to do with what he had with me. And I am so grateful that we found each other when we did. Luke and I found each other long after he and Laura had divorced. And nothing about our relationship was easy or convenient. It was just necessary. We had to have past loves and broken hearts and children of our own for us to see each other clearly and honestly. Martin, what I’m saying is that you are never going to have a lasting relationship until you can look at the woman you love and see her for who she is, not who you want her to be.”
Martin is cued into Tracy’s words of wisdom. Does he realize he has feelings for her and vice-versa? In our recent livestream interview with Michael E. Knight. he theorized that Tracy and Martin would make an excellent pairing, because when you hate someone so much on the soaps, it must be love!
CHARLOTTE AND DANNY

Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) and Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) end up at the gatehouse at the Q’s, since it was too stormy to get to Carly’s. Next, Charlotte gets a text from Lulu and let’s her mom know she’s safe. As Danny talks about eating s’mores, and Charlotte talks about Valentin and things, some of the s’more is in the corner of Danny’s mouth, which Charlotte goes to clean off, but the two wind up kissing.
Immediately, GH fans on X were outraged shouting that the two are actually cousins. However, when you look at their lineage, they are actually second cousins once removed. Still, will fans want to see them in a relationship together? It looks like this is where GH is headed with their teen romance story.
LULU AND NATHAN

After hearing that Charlotte is safe, Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Nathan (Ryan Paevey) decide to wait out the storm together. However, Lulu spices things when after looking for blankets, finds a bottle of booze and she suggests they play the drinking game, ‘Two Truths and a Lie.” Things take a turn, when Nathan is able to recite the periodic table of elements sharing that his father drilled it into him as a child. Lulu looks at Nathan a bit suspicious, and questions him, since he’d previously said his father never paid attention to him.
Clearing covering something up, Nathan says his dad pushed him into science, but that he lost interest when he wasn’t smart enough to follow in his footsteps. Suddenly, the two hold hands when Lulu thanks Nathan for everything he did for her tonight and then the two share a passionate lip-lock. Oh no, Maxie! The only way out of this: It would have to be proven that this man is another son of Faison’s, an identical twin of Nathan’s, who fell for Lulu and isn’t really Nathan at all. Thoughts?
CARLY AND VALENTIN

We kind of liked these two the best, because they shared a bond over it being unbearable to never see your child again, which Carly (Laura Wright) has experienced. That seemed to show Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) to her in a new light as he braved the blizzard for a short time to try to find his daughter, Charlotte, but ultimately had to turn back. At one point, Carly got her winter clothes to try to help him, whether she admitted it, or not. It would be very unexpected if they paired Valentin and Carly together, and more juicy because of Brennan’s feelings for her, plus what if Anna Devane gets out of captivity and Valentin fell for Carly, would he still run to help Anna? (We think so) So, it’s kind of messy in a good soapy way if this moves forward.
BRITT AND JASON

Jason (Steve Burton) finds Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) soaking wet and freezing, and gets her to the harbor master’s cabin. She explains as she shivered that the boat she was on capsized on its way back to the mainland from Spoon Island. At that point, Jason says he really wants to help her as Britt says she’s been lying to him this whole time, which Jason was prepared for. Now awaiting an explanation of what she had been dealing with, Britt tells Jason she’s being forced to complete Faison’s last project otherwise they’ll let her die from Huntington’s. Jason wants to know who “they” are and Britt looks concerned. Will she finally tell Jason, the whole truth, nothing but the truth, so help her God, or stall? We won’t know till Friday as they episode came to its conclusion.
So, what did you think about Charlotte and Danny’s kiss, Lulu and Nathan’s make out sesh? Tracy and Martin and Valentin and Carly bonding, while Jason and Britt finally draw closer? Let us know via the comment section below.
Thank you GH writers! Well written dialog!!! I enjoy watching GH everyday. So many stories running in one episode. Take Y&R today, a total of 6 actors, 6, that’s it. 3 scenes, boring. Dialog seems forced and taking stories nowhere. Then I watch GH tonight, What were there, a dozen actors, fast paced, interesting conversations. GH should have more viewers, but ABC has given up on daytime with just the View, GH and GMA2. Too bad. Glad I got hooked on GH again after a several year absence. I know long time viewers aren’t happy with everything they are seeing, but compared to Y&R, this is heaven.
Agree, y and r is horrible. I stopped watching. GH is fantastic, I love it
The problem with the pre-teen/teenage set is so many of them are blood related:
Danny: Quartermaine-Cassadine-Jerome
Rocco: Corinthos-Falconeri-Spencer
Charlotte: Cassadine-Spencer
Avery: Corinthos-Jerome
Leo: Jerome-Falconeri
Aiden: Spencer
Jake: Quartermaine
Georgie: – no conflicts!
They said, the cousins connection between Danny and Charlotte is off- putting. Bring in a strong actress for Georgie and let her be torn between Danny and Rocco. Noah Robert Drake could work with either Charlotte or Avery (when they SORAS her).
I find Danny and Charlotte cringey too and don’t want to see them together, but they aren’t cousins. We learned a few years ago that Valentin is Helena’s son, not Stavros’s, making Charlotte Helena’s granddaughter. And Danny is a descendant of Stavros, not Helena.
Sorry, I was totally wrong about Valentin’s parentage and also used the name Stavros when I meant Mikkos. Ugh! What was I thinking? lol
There’s been so many Cassadines and retcons so that’s understandable. Mikkos is Danny’s great grandfather while his brother Victor is Charlotte’s grandfather. Not a genealogist, but I believe that makes Danny and Charlotte second cousins once removed.
Only one of these potential pairings makes any sense, and that’s Britt & Jason.
And for the love of all that’s unholy… no to Charlotte & Danny. This is General Hospital, not Duck Dynasty. Don’t need to watch teenage cousins hooking up. Unless they’re finally going to admit that Charlotte is the other missing embryo from the same batch Rocco came from, and that Dante has been her actual father all along.
If she’s got no Cassadine DNA, then she and Danny might have a future?
2nd cousins once removed may legally marry. They are far enough apart genetically speaking. People would probably be surprised how often this happens. BUT let’s remember these are kids…and kids experiment. Tomorrow they may think…eeewwwww lol or the adults find out ams explain why it might not be a good idea. And most of the legit reason…is that people will be giving them their opinion for all their lives lol
Britt and Jason have no chemistry tho. All the other ‘pairings’ have them beat.
Yes to Tracy and Martin, big NO to Charlette and Danny, no matter how many cousins removed they are, although both actors are freaking cute, and didn’t she date Jake? No to Valentin and Carly, I want Valentin for Anna, although I do like that Carly has soften up to Valentin, and another no to Britt and Jason, but this one I know the show doesn’t listen to fans who want to see liz and Jason together, and last Lulu and fake Nathan? mainly because is he really Nathan or his twin? plus Maxie is gonna wake up soon and finally get this fake Nathan storyline going.
Charlotte and Danny kissing is weird, but it’s not as weird as Rudy Giuliani having married his cousin.
First Cousin Marriage is actually legal in 19 states, including New York State, so the distant cousin situation is not unfamiliar, especially here in Upstate NY. My neighbors are actually married first cousins, and they have three adorable children. Not saying it is an ideal genetic/DNA situation, but it does happen. I’m just glad that GH is casting and providing storylines for the young generation since Y and R has completely dropped that ball even though their name includes Y = Young! I got hooked on Guiding Light when Beth, Philip, Mindy, and Rick created a fantastic young love quadrangle and ran away to NYC in the middle of winter. Now I am 55 but my kid is 20 and very much in love with his GF. These kids/young adults need some adventures to fall in love before settling down and starting families.
I was being facetious.
I meant to create my own comment (sorry if the “Reply” button was pressed.) Rudi on the other hand is a whole other scenario that I have no desire even begin thinking about.
It’s fine.
This is what I was afraid of… Lulu and Nathan, whether he’s fake or not. My mom said it best: “I’d rather watch paint dry”. There’s less than zero chemistry there for me. Carly and Valentin are an interesting combo but she’s still sleeping with Brennan. Even Carly must have a recovery period!
great episode
GH is my favorite show. Carly and Valentine are most interesting and messy at the same time

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.

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.
Finally, in the pick-up from last Friday’s cliffhanger, an emotional Jason (Steve Burton) continues to tell Sonny (Maurice Benard) that he cannot work for him anymore. Sonny ask, “So that’s it? You’re Out?” We fade to black.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80
Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.
The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.
As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.
PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL
Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)
According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”
Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.
Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.
In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.
Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
