General Hospital Cast: New Life Couples Revealed! (2024)

General Hospital icon Genie Francis, known to fans as Laura Vining Webber Baldwin Spencer and now Collins, has been married to Jonathan Frakes since 1988. The couple originally met on the primetime soap opera Bare Essence and later reunited for the epic miniseries North and South. Frakes is best known for his role as William Riker in Star Trek: The Next Generation and several spin-off movies. They share a son Jameson Ivor, born in 1994, and daughter Elizabeth Frances, born in 1997.

General Hospital bad boy William deVry (the late Julian Jerome) has been partnered with Rebecca Staab for years. Staab is known for playing Elizabeth Barrington on Port Charles and Daphne Collins in the 1991 reboot of Dark Shadows. Her big break in daytime was on Loving as Cecilia Thompson; she later played Jesse Matthews on Guiding Light. The couple is very dedicated to their pets and animal rights. After deVry was killed off General Hospital, he and Staab relocated to his home country of Canada.

Josh Swickard, who plays Detective Harrison Chase on General Hospital, married Lauren Swickard on December 29, 2019. Lauren is an actress, writer and producer, and both she and her better half starred in Netflix’s Roped and A California Christmas, the latter which was written by Mrs. S. In April 2021, the couple welcomed into the world their firstborn, daughter Savannah Kay. They are expecting their first son together this year.

Married since 2002, Drew’s portrayer and his lovely wife have two children, a son and a daughter. When the couple met, the future Mrs. Mathison was anything but starstruck, the All My Children alum Instagrammed in 2022. “She had no idea who I was… She only watched General Hospital” — keeping an especially close eye on Jack Wagner (ex-Frisco)! Vanessa recently appeared on several episodes of her husband’s new daytime home as Mia Lobardi, an executive coach.

Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) has been married to Russell Young since 1992. The couple has three children together, Sadie Beatrice, Dylan Joseph and Cash Justice. Young is a British-American artist best known for large silkscreen paintings using imagery drawn from recent history and pop culture.

As the soap vet has gone from playing John McBain to Silas Clay to Hamilton Finn, a welcome constant in his life has been his beautiful missus. The actor and model wed in 2004 and have two children, Lilah and Jack.

Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth Webber) and Michael Saucedo (once upon a time Juan Santiago) never had a romance on General Hospital but did off camera. The couple married in 2001 and have three children together: Ethan Riley, Ella Bailey and Emerson Truett. An actress since a young age, Herbst would never say no to her children getting into showbiz but has said that she isn’t going to push them, either.

General Hospital’s Roger Howarth (who’s gone from playing Todd Manning to Franco Baldwin to Austin Gatlin-Holt) has been married to Cari Stahler since 1992. They have two children, Langston and Julian. Stahler had a part in the 1999 film Raw Nerve. Howarth previously played Todd on the daytime drama One Life to Live and starred on Loving and As the World Turns.

Poor Kiki Jerome may be resting in peace — damn you, Ryan Chamberlain! — but the Emmy winner who played her is living large. In 2020, the veteran of The Young and the Restless (as Abby Newman) married Irish actor Fergus, who you may recognize from Being Erica, Scandal or Supernatural. A year later, the couple added to their family photos twin girls, “Bubbles” and “Fuzzball.” (See them here.)

General Hospital MVP Maura West (Ava Jerome) met her husband Scott DeFreitas on the As the World Turns set, where they played Carly Tenney and Andy Dixon, respectively. They were married in 2000. West is a dedicated mother to five: Joseph, Katherine, Basil and Birdie with DeFreitas, and Benjamin from a previous marriage to Jonathan Knight.

General Hospital leading man Jon Lindstrom (Kevin Collins and sometimes Ryan Chamberlain) met and fell in love with his wife, Cady McClain (best known as All My Children‘s Dixie Cooney) during their daily commute to work on As the World Turns, where they played Craig Montgomery and Rosanna Cabot. The couple has been married since 2014.

General Hospital fan fave John J. York has been married to Vicki Manners since 1986. They have one daughter, Schyler, and not too long ago became grandparents. Manners and York met when she checked him in to an audition for the 1983 film Chattanooga Choo-Choo. He is, of course, beloved to General Hospital viewers as Mac Scorpio.
