General Hospital will soon see another familiar face on-screen. Ethan’s set to return to Port Charles soon, and fans are ready to finally see him get with Kristina after all these years. However, fans shouldn’t get their hopes up for that pairing.
Key Takeaways
- Kristina used to have a mad crush on Ethan.
- GH fans are shipping them ahead of his return.
- Why Ethan and Kristina likely won’t couple up.
The Pairing Fans Have Been Waiting Years to Happen Won’t
Back in 2009, a teenage Kristina (then Lexi Ainsworth) had a major crush on Ethan (Nathan Dean). They became friends, but she took it to mean something else, causing trouble with her abusive boyfriend Keifer (Christian Alexander).
Eventually, Kristina realized nothing would ever happen with Ethan, especially considering their age gap at the time. Fast forward 15 years, and Kristina (now Kate Mansi) is an adult, and Ethan’s about to be back in Port Charles, making GH fans ship them after all these years.
“I don’t think she ever stopped waiting for him. She just gave other people the opportunity to love her, but no one compares to him💗,” shared a fan on X.
One fan added even more context to the hope that Kristina and Ethan get together by suggesting that he is the father of Baby Phoebe, whom Chase (Josh Swickard) and Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) want to foster. The fan wants Ethan and Kristina to raise the baby together.
“If they wanted Krissy to be with a woman, they would have kept Paige as a recast Blaze. Instead, they made her Jacinda, and put her with Michael. Krissy hasn’t been with anyone SINCE Blaze. She just wants love. Then boom, Ethan returns. Not a coincidence people!” insisted a different fan on X.
Despite what fans want, the odds of an Ethan and Kristina pairing isn’t likely. The writers will certainly address their history, but all signs point to Kristina having a crush on Jacinda (Paige Herschell).
Kristina looks at Jacinda as more than a friend or her brother Michael’s (Rory Gibson) girlfriend. Either Jacinda is clueless about it, or she’s about to play the Corinthos siblings. One thing seems pretty clear: Kristina has eyes for Jacinda.
Now, Ethan could be a good distraction for her, and we would certainly be here for it. Even having them reconnect their friendship would be something we could get behind, since a pairing does not seem to be on the horizon.
Then again, it’s GH, and anything is possible in Port Charles.
