End Of the Road: Should Olivia and Ned Split Up On General Hospital?

We either don’t see Ned Ashton and Olivia Falconeri on General Hospital… or we see them struggling. Currently, we are seeing them because of Leo.

General Hospital Polling: Relationship Strife

He is exhibiting signs of being autistic. Ned (Wally Kurth) is willing to accept the diagnosis – Olivia (Lisa LoCicero) is resisting it. This is causing so much strife that we feel forced to ask: Should this couple break up? What the viewers told us:

Talk Therapy

They don’t need to go their separate ways, 71% of you insist, they just need to communicate better. Since we rarely see this couple, we have no idea how well they communicate. We know that Olivia loves to ramble. We know that Ned has a lot of experience sparring, thanks to his ongoing arguments within the Quarantine family. But this isn’t a contest. This isn’t about winning. This is about making your marriage work. Not just for Leo’s sake, but for both of theirs, too.

Good Trouble on General Hospital

Only 18% of the General Hospital audience is OK with Ned and Olivia breaking up – as long as they don’t use Leo as an excuse. Admit that this marriage was a mistake from the beginning. Admit that you are not compatible. Admit that Olivia is always looking for an excuse to kiss Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) and that Ned just married a Lois replacement – who wasn’t up to the real thing. Leave that poor little boy out of it.

Irreconcilable Differences

Put a pin in it, this marriage is done, 11% sigh. If they can’t even work together when it comes to their child’s health, then there is nothing these two can agree on. Leo isn’t the cause, he’s a symptom of a failed relationship. Get him the help he needs, love him and take care of him. But split up and do it from your separate corners.
