50 Greatest Soap Couples: #46 Frisco & Felicia From GENERAL HOSPITAL

COUPLE: Frisco Jones & Felicia Cummings
SHOW: GENERAL HOSPITAL
RANK: 46
PLAYED BY:
Frisco: Jack Wagner
Felicia: Kristina (Malandro) Wagner
YEARS: 1984-1988, 1989-1991, 1994-1995

STORY:
Frisco (real name Andrew) arrived in Port Charles as a singer in 1984 (Wagner's biggest hit "All I Need" was climbing the charts) but soon took a job with the WSB. Felicia came to town dressed as a boy looking for an heirloom Aztec ring that Frisco had purchased. There were triangles, great adventures (Mexico!) and lots of complications (Frisco was thought to be dead) but the couple fell in love and eventually married.

IMPACT:
Frisco & Felicia were very representative of what GENERAL HOSPITAL was in the mid-to-late '80s and early '90s--the fun, adventure, sexiness, romance and style were all there. They developed a huge fan following and the exposure on this still popular GH (just not at its peak level) definitely helped Wagner's budding music career. Frisco & Felicia laster longer than some of the other popular couplings of their day. Their daughter Maxie is now a central character in the show, and Felicia returned this Spring. Wagner and Malandro fell in love for real and married in 1993. Jack Wagner would go on to starring roles on MELROSE PLACE and THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL.

  1. You have the wrong Youtube link for Felicia&Frisco 1st wedding.

    These 3 clips are the actual Youlinks of the
    F&F ceremony.
    You really need to double check your links.

  4. They definitely deserve to be on this list, though i'd have ranked them higher than 46 out of 50.

  5. I agree with the above poster! They absolutely deserve to be on the list, but should be much higher. Just look at how many people watch the clips of F&F on youtube and all the people who still love them and want F&F back on GH
