| Information | |
George Michael Bluth (born March 2, 1990) is the teenage son of Michael Bluth. He is a student, and he works at the family frozen banana stand, where he is "Mister Manager". George Michael is known mostly for his crush on his cousin, Maeby, as well as his close relationship with his father, Michael.
He is reunited with his cousin Maeby in the first episode, and developed a crush on her after she forcibly kissed him (to teach their parents a lesson for not letting them spend more time together, although it fails because their parents are entirely oblivious to it). In the second season, George Michael started dating a forgettable girl named Ann, a devout Christian whom his father dislikes. Season 2 ends with George Michael and Maeby kissing, to his delight. After the incident, the two try to avoid each other for much of the third season. Later in the third season, he and Maeby accidentally get married when a "fake" wedding for Alhzeimer's patients goes wrong (the pastor was not told it was fake). They kiss passionately later in the season, when George Michael tells Maeby they may not be related by blood (his uncle Tobias rebuts this, but it is later proven to be fact) after going through a lot of trouble to make her Sweet Sixteen special. However, he starts to feel uncomfortable after Tobias rebuts his belief that they are not related, as well as his fear that Maeby intends more make-out sessions in his room (which is not helped when Maeby kisses him again in their bedroom). In the final episode of the series, he decides to escape Newport with his uncle Gob's boat, feeling he doesn't belong there anymore. His father joins him and informs him that Maeby is not his cousin, but that he still shouldn't be with her, as she is still family (he has just gone through a similar experience with his adoptive sister, Lindsay). He reconciles with his father, and they escape to Cabo with $500,000 and a house waiting for them.
