An ABC executive teases that General Hospital aims to continue the Kristina (Lexi Ainsworth) and Parker (Ashley Jones) romance "later."
General Hospital viewers watched Kristina (Lexi Ainsworth) and Parker (Ashley Jones) leave Port Charles in mid-October, but it might not actually be the end of the characters and their unusual romance.
Kristina stunned her mother when she announced she was moving away with her girlfriend/former professor, who'd been fired from the university after it came out that the two were dating. But there's more story to tell, and GH plans to do so.
"We had hoped to continue the story longer but one of the actresses booked another big show," revealed Nathan Varni, an ABC executive, on Twitter. "Pausing for now but hope to continue later."

The actress he's likely referring to is Ainsworth, who recently landed a role on Major Crimes that has been rumored to have prompted her GH exit. However, Jones could have also landed a role that hasn't been made public yet. After all, she has ties to The Bold and the Beautiful, having played Bridget Forrester for many years, and she has several primetime credits under belt, including HBO's True Blood.
Time will tell whether or not Kristina and Parker will reunite in Port Charles, but at least fans of the couple can rest assured that the actresses remain connected post-PC. In fact, Jones just recently wished her former costar a happy birthday on Twitter along with a fun photo of them lounging with Brytni Sarpy (Valerie Spencer).
