General Hospital has added a new detective. There is not much to know yet about Joe Fitzpatrick, but there may be a new love story on the horizon for Lucas.
Key Takeaways
- Lucas has not had any luck in his love life.
- Joe is the new PCPD detective.
- Joe took Lucas to the hospital, and they had a nice conversation.
- Something may develop between the two.
Unlucky In Love Lucas
Lucas (Van Hansis) hasn’t had the best luck with his love life. His marriage to Brad (Parry Shen) started off promising but became a disaster. Brad tried to pass Michael’s (Rory Gibson) son off as their adopted baby. When the truth came out, Lucas divorced him.
Then he met Marco (Adrian Anchondo), and the two fell madly in love. Unfortunately, Marco’s dad was Sidwell (Carlo Rota), who involved his son in his dirty business. Poor Marco was eventually murdered by his father’s partner in crime, Cullum (Andrew Hawkes). Lucas was left devastated.
New Guy In Town
The PCPD needed a new detective after Chase (Josh Swickard) was demoted. In came Detective Joe Fitzpatrick (Jonathan Bennett, here are seven things to know about the actor). He immediately seemed to play by the rules because when he arrested Curtis (Donnell Turner), he was concerned that he would receive special treatment. The detective was only satisfied when Dante assured him that it wouldn’t happen (really?).
Joe met Lucas when he came into the station with his theory that Pascal (Marc Forget) murdered Marco. Their next meeting was after Sidwell shot Lucas. He was thankfully wearing a bulletproof vest, and it was all a setup, but he was still injured. Joe took him to the hospital, and they spoke for a while. There may have been a slight spark forming during their conversation.
Lucas is not over Marco yet, but Joe may become a friend to lean on and eventually turn into something more. As of now, the detective seems like a good guy, which Lucas deserves. But this is GH, so we never know what secrets he may be hiding. Do you think Joe may be Lucas’s next love interest?
