Jonathan Bennett Has a Role in Mind for Lindsay Lohan on ‘General Hospital’

Jonathan Bennett is loving his life as Detective Joe Fitzpatrick on General Hospital so much that he wants to bring a famous former costar onto the Port Charles scene.

“I’m waiting for the day that Lindsay Lohan comes in and plays my sister for, like, a six-week run on General Hospital,” Bennett said in an interview with US Weekly. “We could be brother and sister finally. We could do it on daytime and give us a crazy storyline where we’re like, I don’t know, like part of some undercover agent thing. We could be undercover agents for a secret something. I don’t know. I don’t write it, but someone will figure out something really cool.”

Although Bennett got his show biz start on All My Children, where he played the role of JR Chandler, his big breakout role was in the 2004 film Mean Girls, where he played Aaron Samuels against Lohan’s Cady Heron, according to IMDb. After Mean Girls, Bennett made a name for himself on The Food Network, but was thrilled to return to soaps earlier this year.

“I got the call to come back to daytime on General Hospital, and I couldn’t pass it up because I have such a soft spot in my heart for the people that do daytime TV,” Bennett said.

Since joining the cast of GH, Bennett’s Joe has become one of the best detectives in Port Charles, putting pieces together that others cannot. He has also developed a close friendship with Lucas Jones, who recently became his roommate.

Ironically, Lohan also got her showbiz start on soaps. Before her big breakout role in the 1998 remake of The Parent Trap, Lohan spent one year on NBC’s Another World playing Alli Fowler from 1996 to 1997, per IMDb.
