It’s the day of love and romance, and on ABC’s General Hospital’s, the current landscape of potential duos, rekindled love, or bonafides romances looks a bit different than it did last year.

GH is definitely trying out new pairings, and seeing if the flame still exists for others. Now on this Valentine’s Day, we ask you of the following pairs, which do you think Cupid’s arrow will stick the landing and have any kind of lasting longevity?

First, there is Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst), who after years apart finally shared a kiss. Can they put their past differences aside, and get out of each other’s own way to find happiness again, or will Lucky’s penchant for running away and danger destroy a long-lasting reconcilation?

For Trina (Tabyana Ali), she was so deeply in love with Spencer, she just couldn’t get past it. Enter PCU football star, Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Austrup). While at first resisting him, she now finds herself attracted to the young man, especially since he just defended her honor against Cyrus Renault.

Then, there are the fireworks between Ava Jerome (Maura West) and Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst). Two peas in a pods finally couldn’t resist each other. However, will their selfishness be their ultimate downfall, when ulterior motives are always at play with these two?

Sonny (Maurice Benard) has a secret about his heart and Natalia (Eva LaRue) was right there in his time of need. Although, it seems awkward that after her bigoted remarks against his daughter, Kristina, that he would be OK in a relationship with her, but it looks like that’s where this is heading. Is Natalia just a placecard holder until Sonny and Carly finally get back together?

Speaking of Carly (Laura Wright), she is smitten with WSB Port Charles Bureau Chief, Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna), while the audience gets used to Chris McKenna now in the role after the sudden exit of Charles Mesure. Are you all in for Carly falling deeply for Brennan, or do you think he will ultimately betray her?

There is nothing like being trapped on the roof in the freezing cold. But, that’s exactly what happened at GH to Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) and Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos). It’s clear that the show is putting these two together, although nothing in the romance department had happened quite yet, but stay tuned. Do Cody and Molly have a chance at an enduring future?

So let us know; which duo from GH do you think will be successful in romance in 2025?  Which couple are you rooting for to be in love and find happiness with one another? Share your picks in the comment section below.

Romance? On GH? Ain’t gonna happen.

Romance on daytime TV? Yawn. Kiss, cut scene. Commercial. Afterglow. That’s all it needs to be.

How about Tracy and Martin

He’s mid sixties; she close to 80

I saw sparks between he and Nina.

Does it matter?
All the good couples have been separated recently by death or recast or whatever the writers have ruined especially Joss and Dex.

I like them all and hope they aren’t forced down our throats so they can play all the beats.

Really enjoying LL2. Hope they get it right this time. ❤️

Me too.

I would love to see a Ric and Alexis reunion, especially with both of them truly hating the sight of each other. Just imagine, too much arguing, too much passion and Molly finds mom and dad have made an embarrassing truce that she walks in on in the morning.

He slept with her daughter when she had lung cancer, and most recently he turned her into the cops which could have put her in jail for life. I’m thinking that’s a hard pass, lol.

No defense for that but if you recall, Sam went out of her way to seduce Ric because she hated her mother at the time. She wanted to hurt Alexis. Sam was the aggressor.

Let it land on all six of the shown couples… and let’s get back to some real story telling again.. you can do it GH, you can do it!

The Natalia – Sidwell past marriage reveal was quite a surprise, and whatever of the above potential love couplings may occur, this past relationship will definitely throw a massive wrench in almost all of them…

I was wondering about them. Something is planned with those three.

The reveal also now has me wondering if Sidwell is Blaze’s father, and the father of the unseen son Natalia talks about….

Well, Natalia previously mentioned that her two children had different fathers. She also said that her son was a studio musician who lived in Miami. Miami was also Sidwell’s first stop when he arrived in the US, so the logical conclusion is that he went there to visit his son, and in the process, may have learned that Natalia was now living in Port Charles. So that means he’s probably NOT Blaze’s father.

Now on the other horn… here’s a theory that came to me out of left field as I watched Friday’s episode. Did anybody else think that Sidwell was being a little bit “flirty” with Lucas, after getting his examination & prescription for a tick bite. It looked to me like Lucas was asking himself that question.

I guess a bisexual crime boss in Port Charles would be a “first”. But it would also explain where Natalia’s past homophobic rage might have come from, if she had an ex husband who cheated on her with men!

He is which means we’re not only stuck with boring Natalia, we shall soon be stuck with her male spawn whom we don’t know or care about. I hate that they got rid of the Cassadines, who have been a legacy villainous family since 1981. They’ve been replaced by boring new chracters with no connections to anyone on GH. They even gave the Cassadine family mansion, Wyndemere, to Sidwell. Geez.

I think Trina and Kai have no romantic chemistry, I see them as Friends! If they must have them in a relationship, recast Spencer! That would be a good storyline between the three of them! They made us suffer through Trina,Spencer and Esme for God knows how long! This trio would be entertaining!

I totally disagree. I love Trina with Kai. He’s mellow, intense (as is Trina) and they have a really calm but flirty rapport. Spencer, especially played by Nicholas Chavez, was hyper most of the time. Obviously you liked the chemistry between Chavez and Ali. Recasting him isn’t going to recreate that, like nuJack Brennan, and Carly. It’s not the same.

They really aren’t going to give up forcing the coupling of Natalia and Sonny on us, are they? Those two have zero spark, no textual tension and seem stiff with each other. Sonny and Nina, who have run into each other maybe twice since their divorce, and the chemistry and natural connection they ignite is still powerful. A lot of this is credited to Cynthia Watros who elevates other actor’s performances due to her own effervescence and talent. Eva LaRue is perfectly fine as a soap actress but lacks the acting prowess to make Natalia and Sonny a couple we could root for.

So many typos! I meant, “sexual tension,” not “ textual tension” but that kind of works too.

I actually like Natalia and Sonny a lot. She’s great looking, confident, supportive. Nina took way too much crap from him. Not only did he go to Michael and Willow’s wedding knowing Nina was excluded, but he dumped Nina in seconds after finding out about the tip to the SEC. He couldn’t fathom why she’d want to get back at Carly who not only didn’t tell her that Nelle has been her daughter, but she took her DNA for the DNA test
and was never going to let Nina know Willow was her child or Wiley her grandson. THAT Sonny was able to forgive in minutes.

You may be the only one rooting for Sonny and Natalia. At best they feel like siblings. She’s so bad she makes me root for a Carly and Sonny reconciliation

With the exception of Ava and Ric, all these couples are a hard pass. Trina and Kai give off sibling vibes, Carly and new Brennan have lost their spark, Natalia and Sonny lack any type of chemistry while the remaining couples are just boring.

Loving Molly and Cody; great onscreen chemistry. He’ll be the one to teach her to lighten up; have some fun. I can see him teaching her how to ride. And she will give some structure to his life; encourage him to be serious about his goals. I like them; hope the show sticks with this trajectory.

I can’t see Carly and Jack lasting. Once she finds out he’s been putting Joss in danger, giving her tips where to find Cyrus, Jack’s done.

Cody throwing his jeans off the hospital roof as an SOS was totally in keeping with his character. It was amusing too.

In the just released General Hospital spoilers video for the week of June 22-26, Lulu tells her mother, Laura (Genie Francis), “Dante and I have to get to Rocco before Cullum!” Meanwhile, Rocco (Finn Carr) looks angered and emotional as Britt walks through their cabin hideout.

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

Published

By

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.
