The teen and young adult scene on General Hospital has been on fire lately. However, two key characters are missing, especially as one controversial storyline heats up.

Key Takeaways

  • The kissing cousins have GH fans wanting Jake and Georgie to return.
  • Why Georgie and Jake should be front and center in Port Charles.
  • The possibilities of adding them to the younger scene on the ABC soap are endless.

Bring Back Jake and Georgie ASAP

The fact that GH has cousins Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) and Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) kissing is enough to warrant the return of Georgie (Lily Fisher) and Jake (Hudson West).

After all, Jake and Charlotte already had eyes for each other back in the day when she was tormenting Anna (Finola Hughes). It seems more fitting that Charlotte would like Jake, who’s a bit older than her same-aged cousin.

That leaves the door open for perhaps a Danny, Georgie, and Rocco (Finn Carr) teen love triangle. Rocco and Danny are like brothers. The two of them having feelings for the same girl would make for a very entertaining storyline that doesn’t make fans cringe.

One fan on X said just as much, writing, “It’s really about time to bring Jake back on the canvas. I’d rather see Charlotte and Jake develop a connection than her and Danny. I would’ve thought they would’ve paired Danny and Georgie cause I can see them being a potential couple.”

The Maxie, Jason, Spinelli, and Elizabeth Factors

Aside from the obvious reason to have Georgie and Jake in the mix, they are legacy characters who need to be seen. Georgie is a Jones, while Jake is a Webber and a Quartermaine, giving the writers a lot to work with for the characters.

Plus, there’s also more potential storylines for Maxie (Kirsten Storms), Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst), Spinelli (Bradford Anderson), and Jason (Steve Burton) if those two kids are around.

It’s no secret Elizabeth needs her own storyline. Pairing her son with a Cassadine would certainly give her some good material. Elizabeth knows better than anyone what it’s like to be involved with a Cassadine because of her friendship and relationship with Nikolas (Adam Huss).

There’s also the potential for more Liason moments, especially if Jake were to return with a chip on his shoulder about Jason being MIA his whole life.

GH fans have been robbed of watching Jason and Jake really interact since Jason returned from the dead for a second time in 2024. Danny was the focus back then rather than Jake, so exploring that and making Jake more like Jason would be fun to see unfold.

Something else fans are missing out on is watching Maxie and Spinelli raise a teenager. While watching them navigate raising James (Gary James Fuller), who has a mind of his own, is always appealing, it has put teenager Georgie on the back burner.

Maxie was a wild teenager, and we can honestly say that watching her deal with a mini version of herself would be beyond entertaining—also, Spinelli as a teenage girl dad, pure gold.

Georgie being thrown in with Danny, Rocco, and Charlotte would also have ramifications for the friendships between Jason and Spinelli, as well as Maxie and Lulu (Alexa Havins). Would Spinelli really want his daughter dating Jason’s son?

That’s something we would like to know because Spinelli and Jason haven’t really ever had a major falling-out; this could be it. The possibilities are endless for where to take Georgie and Jake if GH would just bring them back into the fold.
