Ethan Lovett is a fictional character from the ABC daytime soap opera General Hospital. The role was portrayed by Nathan Parsons from January 30, 2009, to March 7, 2012. Parsons briefly reprised the role for two episodes in April 2013 as part of the series' 50th anniversary celebration. He also reprised his role as Ethan in July 2015 for two episodes.
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 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 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.
