General Hospital Spoilers: Steve Burton Weighs In — Dante or Ric for Elizabeth?

Fans of General Hospital have long debated who truly belongs with Elizabeth Webber: Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) or Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna). In a recent episode of the Stone Cold and The Jackal podcast, Steve Burton, who portrays Jason Morgan, shared his perspective on the nurse’s love life and the dynamics between her suitors.

Ric or Dante?

Burton admitted that Jason “probably wouldn’t understand the Ric part,” given the lawyer’s long history of morally ambiguous behavior. But he also noted that Ric’s return to Port Charles adds tension and drama, creating opportunities for action-packed confrontations — recalling the iconic scene where Jason took Ric to the garage for a brutal showdown.

Ultimately, Burton threw his support behind Dante. “He’s a good guy,” Burton said. “He was looking out for me — and his son Danny. That makes him the clear choice, at least from Jason’s perspective.” He did, however, acknowledge that if Ric slips back into his old ways, the story could still deliver compelling conflict and drama.

While the show may not give fans a full “Liason” reunion between Liz and Jason anytime soon, Burton’s comments signal that Dante has strong narrative backing in the love triangle. Fans can expect tension, drama, and possibly more high-stakes confrontations between Ric and Jason in future episodes.
