This Port Charles snowstorm is certainly bringing out the strange in everybody. First, Tracy and Martin bond, then Nathan forgets his upbringing, and then…Danny and Charlotte. Here’s what led to the cousins kissing on the January 29, 2026 episode of General Hospital.
Key Takeaways
- Danny and Charlotte get snowed in together.
- The teens confide in each other the way they can’t to other people.
- Danny and Charlotte share a kiss…despite being cousins.
Danny And Charlotte Forget They’re Cousins
Snowed in together at Michael’s (Rory Gibson) old house, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) decided to entertain Charlotte (Bluesy Burke) by making her s’mores and delving into who they both truly are, not who their family wants them to be. It was easy to look past any romance lingering between them when you remember they’re cousins.
As the night went on, it was the typical “you have food on your face” moment as Charlotte wiped chocolate off Danny’s cheek, just to lean in and kiss him. And Danny kissed back, confirming that neither teen knows their family heritage.
Why It Matters
Let’s break down why this is wrong for Danny, Charlotte…and Cody (Josh Kelly).
Danny and Charlotte are cousins via their Cassadine blood. Charlotte is the granddaughter of Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy), while Danny is the grandson of Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn), the daughter of Mikkos Cassadine (the late John Colicos). Alexis and Victor are half siblings, meaning their children, Charlotte’s dad Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) and Danny’s late mom Sam (Kelly Monaco), are half cousins. This leads Charlotte and Danny to being second cousins once removed.
So, if GH is going to get rid of their “no dating cousins” rule, then it turns out Cody and Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) could be together after all.
General Hospital spoilers for January 30 take things over to Rocco (Finn Carr), who winds up crushed. Let’s hope this isn’t because he wishes he was the one kissing Charlotte…
