General Hospital Choices: Who is the Best Woman for Austin?

On General Hospital, Austin Gatlin-Holt is making up for lost time. After months of no love interest, he’s suddenly got three intriguing options to choose from.

General Hospital Polling

Each lovely lady has pluses and minuses, some he knows well, others he barely does but here is how over 2,000 voters think he should go:

GH: Baby Mama Drama

The pros about Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms), according to 56% of you, is that she’s cute and relatively sweet, and, if there is one thing we know about her…fertile. The cons are that fertility leads her to be tethered potentially for life to a wacko like Peter August (Wes Ramsey).

A fate that she attempted to avoid by giving away their baby girl and claiming she’d been kidnapped for months. Austin (Roger Howarth) helped deliver said baby girl. So he and Maxie are already…close.

General Hospital: Professional Courtesy

Austin and Britt Westbourne (Kelley Thiebaud) are both doctors, 36% of the audience notes, so they have that in common. They also come from less than morally upstanding families. (In Austin’s case, that’s a generation removed. In Britt’s case, both her parents are felons…and she’s the aforementioned Peter August’s sister).

They’re pretty good at accepting people for who they are, so won’t get too judgy. Her last boyfriend was a mob hitman. So Austin would be a step up. And we don’t know enough about Austin’s romantic past to know either way when it comes to Britt.

GH: Lookalike

Only 8% are interested in seeing Austin with Elizabeth Webber Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst). It would be too weird. Liz and the rest of Port Charles may not notice the eerie resemblance to her late husband, Franco Baldwin (also Howarth), but we do. And if we’re forced to watch this pairing, we’ll be wondering why we couldn’t have stuck with the original couple in the first place.
