Ethan Lovett
Ethan Lovett is a fictional character from General Hospital, an American soap opera on the ABC network. The role was originated by Nathan Parsons, who appeared from January 30, 2009, to March 7, 2012. Parsons returned for guest appearances in April 2013 (as part of the soaps' 50th anniversary celebration), July 2015 and September 2020, respectively. In April 2023, the role was portrayed by James Ryan. In 2026, Parsons (now Nathan Dean) will reprise the role.
In 2008, General Hospital put out a casting call for an actor to play "Dante," the son of characters Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Olivia Falconeri (Lisa Lo Cicero). Parsons auditioned for the role and was called back twice after the audition, but the show did not cast him as Dante. "They said they weren't going to give me the part I auditioned for, but they wanted me on the show, so they were going to write me in," Parsons said. The writers created the character Ethan Lovett specifically for the actor. "It's cool, because it gives me a completely clean slate for this character," he said. "Since it was written for me, I can play with it and make Ethan whoever I want him to be."
The character's debut story centered around the mystery of who his parents were. Headwriter Robert Guza Jr. hinted that Ethan would connect Luke Spencer's family to another family with whom they were once affiliated. The writers tied Ethan to established characters Luke Spencer (Geary), Holly Sutton (Samms), and Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) — made household names during General Hospital's 1980s peak — with the question of whether or not he is Holly's son with one of the two men.
In November 2011, rumors began to surface that Parsons was considering exiting the series, which was effectively confirmed little over a month later following a tweet from co-star Julie Marie Berman. Parsons departed the series, following a three-year run, on March 7, 2012.
On April 2, 2013, Parsons reprised the role for two episodes as part of the series' 50th anniversary. In June 2015, Parsons, along with Jonathan Jackson, returned for a visit to facilitate the exit of Anthony Geary. On September 1, 2020, it was announced Parsons would again reprise the role in a guest appearance. He reprised the role from September 17 to 25, 2020. The role was recast with James Ryan, who debuted during the final moments of the April 17, 2023, episode, and exited the following episode on April 24.
On March 5, 2026, it was announced Parsons (now Nathan Dean) would return to the role. In a statement, executive producer Frank Valentini said, "We have a great story planned — with, of course, a few twists along the way." His return will begin to air in April.
Ethan is introduced in January 2009 attempting to burglarize the Haunted Star Casino. Owner Luke Spencer catches him. The two become acquainted. The Australian-born Ethan explains his parents died when he was 15 and he has been on his own since then. Eventually, it is revealed Ethan had actually sought out Luke. He had met one of Luke's former flames, thief and con-artist Holly Sutton, in his travels. Holly had told Ethan she had taught him all she knew and he should seek out master con-artist Luke Spencer, in America. Ethan secretly carried a photo Holly had given him of Luke and his longtime friend Robert Scorpio, who had been married to Holly.
It was Helena who would first say aloud Luke and Ethan had to be related due to the obvious similarity of the two men. Upon the revelation the Lovetts were actually his adoptive parents and he never knew his biological parents; Luke and his wife Tracy Quartermaine began to suspect Holly may be Ethan's mother and Luke could be his father. However, a DNA test on May 7, 2009, concludes Luke and Ethan are not related. Luke suspects Tracy may have altered the paternity test and enlists his daughter Lulu's help in proving this. Without telling her why, Luke asks Lulu to come on to Ethan in front of Tracy. Lulu goes so far as to kiss Ethan and Tracy becomes livid at the sight. Lulu later tells Tracy she plans to go out dancing with Ethan and may end the evening by having sex with him. Only then does Tracy admit Ethan may be Lulu's brother and she doctored the DNA results in order to get Holly's son to leave town. Holly returns, confirming she is Ethan's mother and initially revealing Robert as his father on May 22, 2009. After Robert's daughter Robin tells Ethan that Robert was in Port Charles and not with Holly when Ethan would have been conceived, Holly confesses to Luke on May 29, 2009 Ethan is in fact his son.
