Elizabeth has been around the General Hospital block enough times to recognize romantic trouble when it comes knocking. Unfortunately, knowing better and doing better are two entirely different things in Port Charles. After nearly kissing Dante, she turned around and planted one on Ric. Is Liz genuinely happy with Ric, or is she trying to convince herself that her feelings for Dante don’t exist?
Key Takeaways
- Elizabeth and Dante nearly kissed during a Halloween cupcake-baking session, leaving Liz questioning her unexpected attraction to him.
- Elizabeth admitted to Lucas that she wanted to kiss Dante but insisted she was happy with Ric and blamed the moment on her emotions over Aiden leaving.
- Elizabeth’s sudden kiss with Ric raised questions about whether she’s genuinely committed to him or trying to ignore her growing feelings for Dante.
Elizabeth and Dante Almost Crossed the Line
What started as a harmless Halloween cupcake-baking session turned into something neither Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) nor Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) expected. With Aiden (Colin Cassidy) preparing to leave home for a year, Liz was already feeling emotional about her youngest son growing up. Dante offered some reassurance, and things got considerably more interesting when he wiped frosting from her face.
The two nearly kissed before the doorbell interrupted them. Later, Elizabeth admitted to Lucas (Van Hansis) that she wanted to kiss Dante, although she insisted they were just friends. She blamed the moment on her emotions over Aiden leaving, which is certainly one explanation. It’s also a convenient one.
Lucas wasn’t buying it, especially after witnessing the looks Elizabeth and Dante exchanged. Liz insisted she was happy with Ric (Rick Hearst) and didn’t believe Dante had romantic feelings for her. However, her reaction suggested that the almost-kiss rattled her more than she wanted to admit.

Is Elizabeth Using Ric to Forget Dante?
When Ric arrived at Elizabeth’s door, she immediately pulled him into a kiss. Considering what happened with Dante earlier, the timing was awfully interesting. Was she genuinely excited to see Ric, or was she trying to erase another man’s face from her mind?
Ric and Elizabeth have plenty of history, and their relationship hasn’t exactly been a model of stability. Still, she seems determined to believe things are different this time. The problem is that Dante may have awakened feelings she wasn’t expecting, and pretending otherwise won’t make them disappear.
Of course, Dante has his own complicated romantic history, particularly with Lulu (Alexa Havins). Getting involved with him could create problems Elizabeth doesn’t need, especially while she’s adjusting to Aiden’s departure. But if she’s kissing Ric to avoid acknowledging her attraction to Dante, she’s already heading toward another romantic disaster. Has Elizabeth finally found happiness with Ric, or is she about to break two hearts, including her own?
