A long-lost character is back in Port Charles, and fans are talking. Since Nathan West returned to General Hospital, his growing bond with

Lulu Spencer has sparked debate. With Maxie Jones still in a coma, viewers are torn between emotions and loyalty. The show seems to be testing a new path for these familiar characters.

 

 

Nathan West’s return in September changed several relationships right away. He reconnected with family members like Britt, Obrecht, and Nina. Still, one person was missing. His wife, Maxie, remains in long-term care in Massachusetts. During this time, Nathan has leaned on Lulu, Maxie’s closest friend.

Soap Opera Digest took the question to viewers with an online poll. It asked if fans would support a romance between Nathan and Lulu. The idea comes with many complications. Lulu is Maxie’s best friend. She is also the ex-wife of Dante, who once shared a close bond with Nathan. As expected, fans were split on the idea.

Only 12 percent of voters said they liked the idea mainly for the drama. They knew it would cause serious emotional damage. Many pointed out how painful it would be if Maxie woke up and learned her husband had grown close to her best friend. For most fans, that fallout felt more upsetting than fun. Another 23 percent supported the pairing for classic soap reasons. They also think the match could open the door to new stories for other characters.

Doubt also shaped the results. Twenty-eight percent of voters rejected the pairing because they are not convinced this man is really Nathan West. They still question his long absence and true motives. Some fans think his bond with Lulu could hide a bigger plan, not real feelings. The biggest group, 37 percent, opposed the idea for another reason. They stay loyal to Lulu’s history with Dante and still want them back together. Others feel getting close to Nathan while Maxie is in a coma would be a betrayal.
