10. Curtis Ashford & Portia Robinson

Curtis and Portia's romance is one of second chances with awkward truths. Years later, Curtis and Portia began rekindling their romance, but Portia's long-kept secret- Curtis could be the father of Trina's baby- endangered their reunion and tore them apart. The wedding was to be the beginning of their new life together, but when Curtis got shot and paralyzed, new problems developed. Portia's unwavering commitment to Curtis throughout his recuperation proved their love could conquer all. While Curtis is managing his condition along with family drama, it is still one of GH's greatest contemporary romances, proving love is more than the hot passion: sticking by each other, no questions asked.
9. Nikolas Cassadine & Emily Quartermaine

The highly improbable romance that began as a friendship found life when Emily confronted cancer. Emily's upper-crust background, of the esteemed Quartermaine family, stood in stark contrast to Nikolas's deep and dark lineage of the Cassadines. Nevertheless, love conquered all odds. Tragedy eventually befell Nikolas, who was utterly shattered when Emily was murdered. However, even after death, she remained strongly intertwined with his life, and visions and dreams were reminders of their undying connection. Nikolas could never move forward, saying Emily was and will forever be his one true love. In the annals of broken love stories, theirs is right up there with the saddest, a statement of love fading far into the sunset.
8. Dante Falconeri & Lulu Spencer

Dante and Lulu's whirlwind romance contains passion, heartbreak, and unyielding strength. Although an undercover cop, Dante initially hid his identity from his beloved Lulu, but their love transcended that betrayal. Their romance and marriage were fraught with obstructions, including family issues and Dante's dangerous occupation. Regardless of their troubles, they created a positive life together by raising their son, Rocco. The unfortunate Incidents followed, and an explosion put Lulu in a coma. There she hangs, with the possibility of returning alive as fans hold on to a miracle for their love. But with Dante moving on with Sam, what remains is her fate.
7. Robert Scorpio & Anna Devane

Robert and Anna's love story could be defined as espionage, danger, and undeniable passion. They were two of GH's most legendary spies, and their romance was nothing less than extraordinary. Their married life was full of secrets, such as the shocking revelation that they had a daughter, Robin. Though often, their love made way for their missions, the relationship never faded away. And even after years, their chemistry remains palpable on screen. Whenever they are brought together, there is always the electricity of their dynamic. Whether working on a case or just reminiscing about past memories, nothing can fracture the bond.
6. Jason Morgan & Sam McCall

Jason and Sam experienced the most action-packed romantic journey, from being partners in crime to lovers to being almost dead. They had to go through mob wars, hues, and betrayals before ending up together. They made the hottest couple at GH. Even apart, they still pull their way back together with undeniable chemistry. It tore fans apart to learn that Sam's presumed dead Jason was reason enough for heartbreak; however, as the door is always open for his potential return, the love story is certainly not over yet. No matter what, "JaSam" remains one of the defining romances in General Hospital fables.
5. Sonny Corinthos & Carly Benson

A few couples have struggled through as many highs and lows as Sonny and Carly have. Their relationship is an endless cycle: passion, betrayal, and reconciliation. They married several times, proving that no matter how serious the matter, they simply cannot stay apart. Theirs has been a love tested repeatedly throughout mob wars and, more recently, Carly's betrayal with Jason. Even when fighting is the order of the day, the bond between Carly and Sonny is undeniable. Whatever the couple may face makes them ever more interesting to the fans, who have been invested ever since giving birth to one of GH's supercouples, who have lasted the longest thus far and remain most unpredictable.
4. Duke Lavery & Anna Devane

Duke and Anna's love was a tragic yet unforgettable love story. Duke was a handsome mobster. Anna was a fierce law officer, the makings of a classic star-crossed romance. Their relationship is met with all kinds of obstacles, including the phony death of the Duke and years of separation. He returned to rekindle their romance, but fate was cruel; Duke was murdered, and Anna was again left heartbroken. Even death could not steal the memory of the Duke's love for Anna, with poignant flashbacks and aching memories keeping their story alive. Their love gave solid evidence that some loves are timeless and thus created one of GH's most adored couples.
3. Luke Spencer & Laura Webber

Luke and Laura weren't only a GH supercouple, but they had grown into a cultural phenomenon. The epic wedding remains one of the highest-rated episodes in soap opera history. From cape-wearing escapades to parenting adventures, their love saga has enthralled audiences for decades. But even so, their relationship was intensely twisted, fraught with betrayals and heart-wrenching separations. Laura must have moved on with Kevin; Luke seems to have faded with an unresolved death. Despite their tumultuous roads, they will remain GH's most iconic couple, proving that not every love story needs a perfect end to be memorable.
2. Frisco Jones & Felicia Cummings

The love story of Frisco and Felicia is a tale out of any romantic novel—adventure, danger, and that electric chemistry. When Felicia, a runaway princess, disguised herself as a boy to protect her identity, that was when she happened to meet Frisco. The charming musician turned spy fell in love with her, and through all odds, their love survived. Mostly because of Frisco's obligations to the WSB, there were separations, but this did not deter their bond. Felicia had started moving on with Mac, but fans will always remember the magic that she had with Frisco.
1. Patrick Drake & Robin Scorpio

Patrick and Robin's love story has been one of the most emotional and inspiring possible romances on GH. Although fictional, this did tackle some very real-life struggles, and one of them was Robin's HIV-positive status- that just showed how committed they were to each other. Patrick started out as the cocky surgeon, then turned into devoted husband and father, proving that his love for Robin was real. Their love story was full of challenges, from presumed-death kidnappings to heartbreaking separations, but somehow, their love endured all this. Most importantly, for hopeful fans, Robin's return to save Jason left the fans hopeful about that permanent reunion.
