First, credit where it’s due. General Hospital co-stars Rebecca Herbst and Michal Easton have done everything an actor could do to make a couple work. And now and then, the pairing of Elizabeth and Finn has worked. But only sporadically.
Mostly, the stop-and-start romance has been hamstrung by one unlikely plot twist (Liz accidentally killed Finn’s first wife and forgot all about it!) after another (Liz pretended to be pregnant by Nikolas to cover up the fact that she was helping hold Esme hostage at Wyndemere). Viewers by and large weren’t buying it. Coming off Liz’s successful match-up with Franco and Finn’s with Anna, “Fiz” kinda fizzled.
… and Now the End Is Near
Finally, appears that Liz and Finn’s relationship is on its last legs — and those legs are wobbly to boot. She wants to support him as he battles the bottle, but given her history with a certain other addict — more on that here — that may prove impossible; she might want to first make sure that she and her boys are OK.
With Finn going so far as to bring another woman into the equation, the last straw seems to been piled on the camel’s back. And while that may be sad for “Fiz,” it’s extremely good news for fans of Liz and Finn separately.
After the Split
Liz is perfectly positioned to rebound into a relationship with the one that got away (over and over): Jason. He’s established that he and Carly will not be exploring the feelings that reawakened between them when they married for the sake of the Mob. Sam is happily cohabitating with Dante. That just leaves… Liz. And if after working for the feds, Jason stays on the side of the cops, not the robbers, his lucrative career as a hitman will no longer be an impediment to a future with Liz.
As for Finn, once he gets his head screwed back on straight — and the cap screwed back on the bottle — the sky’s the limit. The eventual reveal of Valentin’s involvement with Pikeman might give Anna a better understanding of just how deeply her Peter lie hurt Finn — and give the exes a chance to reconnect. No stranger to sobriety battles, Alexis could also offer a sympathetic ear to her onetime lover. The show might even capitalize on the chemistry that Easton had opposite Maura West as Silas and Ava (back when he was on his second General Hospital character).
