TJ Ashford's storyline on General Hospital summed up

TJ Ashford was introduced to General Hospital in 2012 as a rebellious preteen. He was taken under the wing of Shawn Butler, who was later revealed to be his biological father on the soap.

Actor Krys Meyer initially played the role in 2012. As the character aged, the role was played by Tequan Richmond until 2018. Finally, Tajh Bellow was cast in the role in 2018, and the actor continues to appear on General Hospital.

One of TJ's main storylines is his romance with Molly Lansing, and they have persisted as a couple throughout the years. They started dating in secret, much to the disapproval of Molly's mother Alexis. However, she soon grows to accept them. TJ also tries to rebuild his relationship with his parents after his mother, Jordan, reveals that Shawn is actually his father.

Currently, TJ and Molly are going through a rough spot after choosing Kristina to be their surrogate. As the couple's equation with Kristina wavers, it becomes more likely that she might want to keep the child, evolving into an ugly custody battle between them.

Another shocking twist came when Kristina fell from a window into the Metro Court pool and was injured. According to the show's spoilers, TJ is also set to reunite with his father, Shawn, soon, which might add another layer of dynamics to the already bubbling plot.
