Since joining General Hospital in 2016, James Patrick Stuart has been a charming “Valentine” to several women in his role of Valentin Cassadine. In real life, he has been happily married to Jocelyn Stilwell since 2000. Valentin has had plenty of spicy romance onscreen, and it’s never a given on soap operas that the onscreen and offscreen lovers get along with each other.
General Hospital’s James Patrick Stuart is a charmer on and offscreen
General Hospital’s “Valentine” man, Valentin, doesn’t have that problem. On his Instagram, he shared a photo of his wife Jocelyn in a group hug with his current onscreen lover, Laura Wright (Carly Spencer), and his longtime Port Charles paramour, Finola Hughes (Anna Devane).
It’s unclear exactly when the photo was taken, but it is clear there were plenty of smiles and love between the three women. Stuart captioned the post, “My beautiful wife @jocelynstuart.style with the two greatest in the game @finolafilona and @welcometolaurasworld (Somebody up there likes me.) @generalhospitalabc.”
Jocelyn herself commented on the post, “Patrick’s leading ladies. I need all the support I can get! (with a laughing emoji). (Finola and Laura), Love you both.”
Numerous General Hospital fans shared their love for the ladies in the comments section on his post. Some confessed they were big-time fans of “Vanna,” the popular coupling of Valentin and Anna. Some said they liked the current canoodling between Valentin and Carly, but gently wondered if Valentin could do more to help Anna while she heals from emotional distress at the mental-health hospital in France.
On Instagram, the fan kksd6119 commented, “All beautiful ladies! Sooooo happy for all of your scenes lately on GH! I hope you are back now for a longgggg time to come! Another fan, kingannlisa, said, “Pairing you with both of these incredibly strong, beautiful women was genius on the writers’ part! TV gold and then you get to go home to your incredibly strong, beautiful wife?! How lucky are you?!”
“Aww! Three wonderful women in one powerful, joyful photo!” The user samuelraphaelhosea exclaimed.
The Stuarts live in Portland, Oregon, now, and James commutes to Los Angeles to tape General Hospital and play his scenes of the dangerous and dashing Cassadine in hiding. Recently, he shared a selfie of himself in Portland, promising that there was juicy stuff coming up between Valentin and Carly.
The danger is growing as Brennan gets more desperate to find Valentin, now threatening Willow’s (Katelyn MacMullen) political career and custody of her children by threatening to reveal the traffic-cam footage that placed her at Drew’s house that night.
James posted, “Home in Portland after a full week filming at ABC Prospect. Had a blast working with @lldubs (Laura Wright) — and we’ve got some great stuff coming up on @GeneralHospital. Hope you’ll tune in.”
That post drew a lot of praise as well, with plenty of fans excited to see what happens next in the saga of the mysterious and missing man of mystery.
