After weeks of build up and fan speculation, young couple Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn) and Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) finally shared a kiss on the ABC soap opera General Hospital. But despite their growing chemistry, a complicated family connection could stand in the way.
For viewers that may not know the backstory, Danny and Charlotte’s family ties trace back to once of General Hospital’s most iconic arcs, The 1980 Ice Princess storyline, which introduced the Cassadine family to Port Charles. In that storyline, Mikkos Cassadine (John Colicos) attempted to control a weather machine and freeze Port Charles and the world.
Within the Cassadine family tree, Mikkos is the brother of Victor Cassadine (Thaao Penghlis). Mikkos’s daughter Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) is mother to Samantha McCall (Kelly Monaco) who is Danny’s mother. Victor’s son Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) is Charlotte’s father.

It also wouldn’t be the first time General Hospital has explored romance between related characters. In 1983 Jimmy Lee Holt (Steve Bond) had an affair with his cousin Celia Quartermain (Sherilyn Wolter), and ultimately married her, in a storyline that sparked significant viewer discussion at the time.
Fans React
After the kiss aired, fans immediately took to social media to share their reactions. One user joked, “Fun date idea for Danny and Charlotte: You each complete a 23 and Me kit and explore your matches. #GH”
A second user shared that taboo romance isn’t anything new to the world of romantic fiction, sharing, “I grew up on Flowers in the Attic, so Charlotte and Danny is pretty tame in comparison. Hell, I always thought Ava and Julian had inappropriate chemistry. And so did Maura and Will who even leaned into it.”
A third user is wondering if this means a twist is coming to Charlotte’s DNA, adding, “Is #GH leading up to a reveal that Lulu isn't Charlotte's bio mother? Are they hoping that fans forget she and Danny are cousins? I'm just stunned they crossed that line.”
General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC and streams weeknights on Hulu.
