One of General Hospital’s super couples appears to finally be on track ot reunite, oddly thanks to Cyrus (Jeff Kober). After the serial murderer tried to kill Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) came to the rescue, a move that almost cost him his life, it appears the on-again-off-again couple is ready to travel down that road of reconciliation, signaled by the kiss Elizabeth planted on Lucky in the episode that aired on February 27.
For us, their getting back together can’t come fast enough, as we’ve been waiting for the happy occasion since Lucky returned to Port Charles. (We’re also waiting for Sonny [Maurice Benard] and Carly [Laura Wright] to reunite too, but we’ll address one super couple at a time.)
Sadly though, we can imagine two big obstacles for Lucky and Elizabeth, which threatens to tear them apart before they even fully commit to one another. First, there’s Lucky’s habit of leaving town, a trait he no doubt inherited from his father.
He was gone from Port Charles for years, committed to a noble cause overseas, and largely absent from his son’s life. Then the moment he got back to town, in an attempt to help Lulu (Alexa Havins), he was quickly ready to leave again, despite all his reasons to stay. While he’s recently claimed to be committed to staying in Port Charles for the foreseeable future, we can’t help but wonder what adventure or cause could come along to take him away again. Would Elizabeth really put up with his leaving again?
The other stumbling block Lucky and Elizabeth could come via Kristina (Kate Mansi). Since she hired him as the bartender for Charlie’s, we’ve noticed they’re becoming quite close. Now you could say they're only meant to be friends, and that bond is really an extension of the friendship that existed between their fathers.
However, we’d be remiss not to point out that with Kristina short on friends and romance these days, it’s easy to picture her developing a crush on Lucky. And should she pursue any romantic feelings for him, that instantly becomes a problem for his romance with Elizabeth. It may also present a problem for Sonny and Lucky, as Sonny is protective of his daughter and likely doesn’t want her involved in any more drama in love.
At this juncture, we can’t exactly predict with certainty what’s in store for Lucky and Elizabeth, but we know relationships are rarely “forever” in the soap world.
