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

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric
With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).
On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..
In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”
GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW
So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!
FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD
As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”
Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.
So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL
Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.
The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.
In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”
So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
