General Hospital has fans upset because the soap just had two cousins locking lips, which is ick. Plus, on top of the expected sizzle between Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) and Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) and Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening), we had two pairs of enemies getting much closer as the storm raged.
And this is really intriguing. So, another duo may also be falling apart already. We’re going to dig into the romantic breakups and shakeups as Port Charles keeps riding out this chilly winter weather event.
General Hospital Spoilers: Charlotte Cassadine and Danny Morgan’s Controversial Kiss
So, let’s start with the kissing cousins. I’m not sure if the headwriters forgot their history or just plain don’t care, but yeah, Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) and Danny Morgan (Asher Jared Antonyzyn) are cousins—second cousins to be accurate. But why go there at all? Because it’s icky to a lot of people.
If you remember when Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) and Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) had feelings and a couple of kisses and then found out they were cousins, they ran in the opposite direction from each other, as they should have done. But Danny and Charlotte are playing kissy face when they would be attending the same family reunions.
Just real quick, in case you forgot or don’t know their lineage, Charlotte’s parents are Lulu and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart). And his parents are Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers) and Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy). That was revealed more than a year ago. And well-established General Hospital history should tell us Victor is the brother of Mikos Cassadine (John Colicos).
General Hospital Spoilers: Family Tree Fun
And Mikos had an affair and Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) was the result of that affair. And she had Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco) who is Danny’s mother. So Danny’s great-granddad and Charlotte’s granddad are brothers. That makes them cousins and is making General Hospital fans both furious and disgusted.
Especially since Elizabeth Korte is known as the historian because she’s supposedly this absolute expert on characters and facts and history of the ABC soap. So, either this is a blind spot she doesn’t know, or Elizabeth thinks it’s okay for Charlotte to be kissing her cousin Danny, or Elizabeth Korte thinks fans are too dumb to notice. So, they decided to go with the cousin loving anyway. Let me know what you guys think.
Cody Bell and Molly Lansing-Davis Face Friction Over a Secret Manuscript on GH
All right, on to a couple that’s about to hit the skids before we get into two surprising enemy situations that are turning into sparks flying. So Outback accidentally dumped out Molly Lansing-Davis’ (Kristen Vaganos) purse and there was her manuscript. So Cody decided to read it.
As a writer myself, I’m not okay with somebody reading something I wrote without my permission, but that’s what we’ve got. Bottom line is that Cody read what Molly wrote and now he’s all salty about it. And we all know she was basing one of the main characters in her romance book on Cody.
Now, if you remember, at one point, I think Molly was writing the Codyesque character as the hero, but then Molly decided she didn’t like Cody during the whole Ava Jerome (Maura West) thing, which of course her sister was paying him to do. And I think Molly at that point was writing him as this idiotic sidekick.
But Molly might have pivoted back. But what’s clear in Cody’s reaction this week is he doesn’t like what Molly wrote that was clearly inspired by him, aka the cowboy in her new novel. So Cody is offended and he was giving Molly a nice warm place to stay to ride out the blizzard.
And Cody was also showing Molly a really good time in his nice warm sheets. But unless she can make things right with Cody, it’s about to get really chilly in the Quartermaine stables. All right, now let’s talk about these two enemies-to-lovers romantic vibes we got happening with two different couples across Port Charles.
Nathan West and Lulu Spencer Spark Romantic Rumblings in Port Charles
And of course, you know that Nathan and Lulu kissed, which we totally expected. She told Nathan that Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) is going to hate her for this because Lulu has feelings for Nathan. And they are not the enemies-to-lovers that I’m thinking about, just to be very clear on that, because they’re longtime friends.
Carly Corinthos and Valentin Cassadine on GH: From Deadly Enemies to Sudden Romance?
The first enemies-to-lovers I want to talk about is Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) and Valentin. I’ve been hoping to see some sizzle between these two and now it might finally be manifesting. They are enemies though, or were. I can see Carly holding a little bit of a grudge at least before because Valentin tried to kill Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) a couple of different times.
One time while they were in Germany, Valentin had Brennan down and would have finished him off, but Carly intervened, saved Jack’s life, and Valentin took off. That was before Carly knew what a lying creep that Jack is, and before he recruited Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) into the WSB behind her back.
Then, of course, Valentin tried to kill Jack with polonium in that champagne, but then Carly drank it instead of Brennan, and she nearly died. So, yeah, definitely some history there between Valentin and Carly, but now both of them are seeing each other very differently.
And I would not be surprised if while they’re riding out the storm, we may see Valentin and Carly also share a kiss, maybe more. I’d be totally down for it because I like their chemistry. But also because if Valentin and Carly get romantic, that’s going to be a real bitter pill for Jack Brennan to swallow when he finds out.
And I’m sure both of them would rub it in his face because while he says he loves Carly, I don’t buy it because his actions don’t really show that—not all the time. At any rate.
Tracy Quartermaine and Martin Gray: An Unexpected Love Connection on General Hospital
All right. So, the other enemies-to-lovers possibility is between two people that well and truly despise each other. And that’s Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) and Martin Gray (Michael E Knight). Yes, I know Tracy hates him and Martin feels the same way about her, but I feel like something’s there.
And you know that hate can turn to other feelings very fast on a soap. Tracy is lonely and so is Martin. And let’s be real, Tracy fell for Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary) after he conned her. So, it’s not a stretch to think that Tracy could also fall for Martin.
He’s handsome. He’s charming. And he’s a bit of a rogue. He’s a troublemaker. He doesn’t mind coloring in gray areas. And let’s face it, Tracy needs some love and companionship in her life. And now we’ve got Martin and Tracy hanging out during the storm at Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison)’s place.
I think it’d be a whole lot of soapy fun if Tracy winds up in a romance with Martin. If not a relationship, then some sort of situationship. I could see Tracy and Martin sneaking around because she might not want her family to know she’s getting flirty with awful Drew’s lawyer.
And if Tracy does get cozy with Martin, then he might actually go out of his way to help her get back her heirlooms that she wants so badly. Especially with Drew laid up from that stroke his wife Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) gave him. It’s the perfect opportunity to get Tracy’s stuff back and Martin might help her, especially if they start getting cuddly.
General Hospital Recap: Romantic Shakeups for Jason, Britt, and More
So, coming out of this storm, we have Lulu conflicted about kissing Nathan, but she most definitely has feelings for him. And again, I don’t actually think that’s him. We’ll see. Charlotte and Danny need to tap the brakes, get some mouthwash, and never ever play tonsil hockey again with a cousin because they are both Cassadines.
And of course, Britt and Jason are going to get a lot closer as she spills the horror story that her life has become to him. And I expect Britt and Jason to get really steamy. As for Valentin and Carly, I’d be thrilled with a kiss, and Martin and Tracy getting together would be ratings gold.
