With the General Hospital Nurses' Ball set to begin in a little over a week, we wonder what romantic moments might take place on this most musical of nights. Over the last decade, not only have our favorite Port Charles pals shown off their song and dance skills, but some have even taken to the stage to ask that all-important question: Will you marry me?

Brad's musical proposal to Lucas

In 2015, the last thing Lucas (then played by Ryan Carnes) expected was for Brad (Parry Shen) to get up on stage and propose, but that's exactly what he did. Brad was forced to fill in for a performer at the last minute, but ended up singing an upbeat and happy rendition of Bruno Mars' Marry You.

Lucas wasn't quite sure what to make of things as Brad looked at him and pointed each time the lyrics mentioned marriage, but when Brad was done crooning, he got serious. Once the music stopped, Brad threw caution to the wind and decided this was as good a time as any. He officially asked Lucas to marry him. Lucas got up on stage with Brad, took the mic, and said yes. The next year, Lucas and Brad were married in a simple ceremony in Alexis' (Nancy Lee Grahn) living room with Lucas' dad, Julian Jerome (William de Vry), in attendance.

In 2018, Curtis (Donnell Turner) got on stage in the Metro Court ballroom to perform a magic show with his BFF Nina as his assistant. When he needed a volunteer from the audience for one of his tricks, Nina (then played by Michelle Stafford) made sure to escort Jordan (then played by Vinessa Antoine) onto the stage.

After a few turns in a disappearing box, Jordan reappeared with a silver dollar in her hand that she handed to Curtis. When he rubbed the coin, it magically became a diamond ring. Stella (Vernee Watson), who was not a fan of Jordan at the time, watched with disapproval as her nephew got down on one knee and proposed to the woman his brother was once married to.

General Hospital's Finn proposes to a confused Anna

In 2019, Finn (Michael Easton) spent so much time with Anna's (Finola Hughes) diamond ring that we never imagined he'd finally use it and propose. For a while, he even had Robert (Tristan Rogers) holding it for him while he tried to get up the nerve. When Anna spotted Robert with a ring, she was sure he was going to propose to her and wasn't sure how to turn him down.

Imagine her surprise when Anna stood on the Nurses' Ball stage to make a speech about Robin and spotted Robert and Finn arguing in the wings. Suddenly, the ring slid across the stage and landed by her feet. Anna wasn't quite sure what to make of things when Finn finally got up the nerve, stepped out of the wings, picked up the ring, and proposed. Anna happily said yes.

It took until 2021 for Anna to walk down the aisle, only to have the wedding go south before she could take her vows when Finn learned Anna was keeping too many secrets about Peter August (Wes Ramsey).

While we don't expect any proposals at the General Hospital Nurses' Ball this year, we're sure it will be full of surprises, as well as some big reveals.
