General Hospital suggest some new couples who can pair up soon. From a new romance to Rick Lansing (Rick Hearst) to a surprising one for Ethan Lovett (Nathan Dean Parsons). We are going to talk about several pairings that can be triggered during July.
General Hospital: Ava and Ethan’s potential romance
And now let’s dive into some new romantic pairings that I’m pretty excited to see manifest. The first couple I want to talk about is Ava Jerome (Maura West) and Ethan Lovett. By now you’ve probably already noticed that these two have a little vibe. There is some chemistry there. Even though Ava exploits Ethan’s secret that he is Phoebe’s father, there is something genuine there. Plus, he’s clearly hiding something.
And with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) just warned Ethan about Ava, which to me was a red flag that there’s more to come between her and Ethan. I actually think they would make a fun couple. Ava, of course, is a villain who is a bit reformed and Ethan is a con man who doesn’t seem interested in reforming and Ava likes a bad boy and it certainly wouldn’t be the first time she’s been with a younger man.
Over the years, Ava had romances with Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig), Griffin Munro (Matt Cohen), and she recently had that fling with Cody Bell (Josh Kelly), even though he was paid by Kristina Corinthos (Kate Mansi) to seduce Ava. So Ethan with Ava would be pretty normal for her.
Honestly, I think Ethan and Ava would be a lot of fun. They have that banter and chemistry and I could tell GH to put them together. Plus, it would really piss off Sonny if Ava got with her latest henchmen. And I think Sonny deserves some piss from Ava for always using Avery Corinthos (Scarola twins) as leverage in every situation.
General Hospital: Ric and Alexis – A reformed love story
Next, let’s talk about Ric Lansing and Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn). And of course we know Ric is in it Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) right now, and he’s madly, madly in love with her, but it’s also pretty clear that GH is heading towards Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) pairs up with Liz. So with Liz’s attention elsewhere and Ric spending time with Alexis planning the big party Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos), you can also see their chemistry on display.
Fans really like the Ric and Alexis couple because they’re honestly hilarious when they pick on each other. No doubt they have a rocky past. We all know that. Ric was pretty awful back then and he hurt Alexis as well as other people. But Ric has really changed, and he and Alexis is so easy going naturally vibe and not just romantic. They are a funny couple. They enjoy teasing each other and you can’t look away from any Ric and Alexis scene.
And there might have been a little foreshadowing when Cody recently asked Molly if she thought her parents would get back together, and she seemed horrified. But Ric and Alexis have a fan base. They have a nice name, Rexis. And now that Ric is reformed and Alexis is well on her way, I think it could work. The kidnapping he went through of Kristina, Alexis and Ava I think taught him a lasting life lesson. And Alexis is sober. She’s not committing any crimes right now. And she got her lawyer’s license back. They are both a good place. Plus, we might even see Ric join Alexis’ law practice. It could be really cool.
Dante and Elizabeth – Chemistry in the Shadows
And tied to the Ric and Alexis couple would of course be Dante and Elizabeth. Although she’s giving romance with Ric another chance right now, we haven’t seen Liz in scenes with Ric in a while. Almost all of Liz’s screen time has been with Dante for the last, I don’t know, month or so. Even this week as he prepared to leave town to save Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr), he came to see Liz.
Dante has vented her about Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havin’s Bruening). He has confided in Liz and asked for advice. And Dante travels for who knows how long, but he didn’t stop to see Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) or Sonny. No, he visited Liz. GH clearly throws Dante and Liz together and their chemistry is incredible. And when Rocco is home again and Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) takes back the role of police commissioner, maybe Dante will finally see if Liz might go out with him.
Dante was already a little pissed when he heard that Liz was back with Ric. So something has to happen to get Liz away from Ric first. It is very clear. And with Sonny going to war with Sidwell and Ric staying loyal to his brother, the mob could be a deal breaker for Liz and maybe she’ll take a step back. Dante and Elizabeth already have a fan following too, so it seems like a no-brainer too General Hospital to go ahead and explore.
Tracy and Martin – Enemies to Lovers on GH
Next I want to talk about Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliott). It’s been a minute since she had a relationship. The closest thing she has had since Luke’s death was her very close friendship with Gregory Chase (Gregory Harrison), who of course passed away. Although I will say that I think he was a little too nice to Tracy. She needs someone with an edge to them like Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary) had. And that’s why I think she needs to break up with Martin Gray (Michael E. Knight), who is supposed to be back soon.
Tracy and Martin don’t like each other. They are always at each other’s throats. They have each actively tried to destroy each other on several occasions that I can think of. Tracy and Martin head out the worst in each other, and that’s why they’re absolutely hilarious together. However, I thought they seemed to soften up a bit when Tracy showed up at Drew Cain’s (Cameron Mathison) place during the big blizzard this winter where people were locked up, remember? And she ran aground a bit with Martin. And they both need love. And soaps are known to make lovers enemies.
General Hospital: Joe Fitzpatrick and Lucas Jones – New Beginning
So the last couple to talk about is Detective Joe Fitzpatrick (Jonathan Bennett) and Lucas Jones (Van Hansis). Now we know Joe came into town single and fans thought he was about to ask Lucas out on a date the other day, but it turns out Joe asked Lucas a medical question about the syringe he found at Britt Westbourne’s (Kelly Thiebaud) place. So Joe is new Port Charles. He has his hands full with police work.
Plus, Lucas is still grieving and he’s still seeking revenge on Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes). And as you know, Lucas wants revenge for Cullum killing the man he loved. But it should all clear up pretty quickly. And so Lucas might be in a place where he can finally consider a new romance. And Joe needs a love interest eventually. And I suspect that he may have been brought up with the intention of breaking up with Lucas.
And once Cullum is taken down, I think Lucas will be on a road where he is healed enough to consider going out on a date and giving romance another chance. And I will say that I have always liked him Brad Cooper (Parry Shen) but I don’t think he would go there again. And of course Lucas right now still loves and mourns that loss to some extent, but eventually Lucas will move on. And handsome cop Joe could be the one to help him get past his sadness. And remember that life is for the living.
