Every character they’ve ruined to prop up Willow

Post image
200 Upvotes

Characters who used to be very likable are being sacrificed at the altar of GH’s patron saint of Teflon, Willow Tait and it’s driving me up the wall.

(No, these characters aren’t irredeemably ruined. But it’s certainly making them hella unlikable for the time being.)

Here are the characters who have done total 180s to prop up Willow:

Chase

This one is the most obvious and egregious. Chase was once an upstanding gentleman who wanted nothing more than to do right by the people he loved. He was a great son to Gregory, a caring brother to Finn, a loving uncle to Violet and a loving husband to Brook Lynn. And despite the show’s recent attempts to retcon history, Chase had moved on from Willow with no lingering feelings for years after their relationship ended.

The only reason Chase and Willow ever got married was because Willow thought he was dying and felt like she had to marry him out of obligation, even though she had fallen out of love with him and was in love and cheating with Michael at the time. But now Chase is Willow‘s #1 cheerleader who cartoonishly and blindly supports every single thing that Willow does, even though they have both been over one another for years.

Elizabeth

Elizabeth has been suspicious about Willow for several months. So suspicious in fact that she had the health department go to Willow‘s house to inspect it for mold because she could not make sense of the fact that both Drew and Jack ended up locked in after being at Willow‘s house. She also was baffled as to why Willow kept rejecting her offers to get Drew communication devices. But now she is defending Willow saying that Willow could lose her kids because of the allegations in Lulu‘s article when she has been suspicious of Willow the whole time.

Lucas

Lucas has never seen it for Willow. In fact Lucas and Willow’s last interaction with each other was in May 2025 when Willow was still working as a nurse at GH and Willow slapped Lucas after Lucas chewed her out for her obsession with Drew. Yet now even Lucas is defending Willow and throwing his own cousin Lulu under the bus in the process. Make it make sense.

Sidwell

Sidwell is in prison for attempted murder. What more does he have to lose by confessing that he gave Willow the paralytic? He already confessed (offscreen) to poisoning Maxie so why isn’t he confessing to giving Willow the drugs to paralyze Drew? That’s right we know why. Because TPTB will ruin every character to before they hold
Willow accountable.

ADA Turner

Justine has been gunning for Willow ever since she was on trial for shooting Drew. She always believed that Willow was guilty and was pissed that she got away with it. Now Justine has the perfect opportunity to prosecute her for another crime and she just… doesn’t seem to care to? Justine should be chomping at the bit to prosecute Willow and she’s just indifferent. It’s a complete 180 and yet another slap in the face to the viewers.

Britt

Britt was experiencing character development after learning she did not have Huntington’s. She had a great conciliatory conversation with Anna after she tried to kill her that showed us Britt was moving in the direction of forgiveness and honesty.
And now the writers are undoing her progress to have her lie to protect Willow, her cousin who she only started hanging out with a week or two ago and previously had no real relationship with. Given everything Britt has been through recently, she should have learned something about withholding the truth to protect criminals but here she is regressing to prop up Willow.

Nina

Her only storyline for the past couple of years has been being Willow’s enabler. All she ever does is desperately grovel at Willow‘s feet to have a relationship with her and I wish they would do more with her character.

Brook Lynn

Brook Lynn used to be a confident self-assured heiress who lived up to her Quartermaine name. Now she is a groveling mopey pick me for Chase. Brook Lynn makes the slightest mistake and Chase can’t trust her but he never questions Willow’s sketchy behavior and yet Brook Lynn still wants to make her marriage work. I’m tired of BLQ’s furrowed brow, mopey “why does Chase always side with Willow?” face. Brook Lynn has been made to look weak in service of propping up Willow.

Dante

Dante has been annoying since he went on his “I hate Gio” tour after Rocco’s alcohol poisoning incident and even more so with him not believing Sonny about the Pentonville beating. But somehow they managed to make him even more annoying with him asking Lulu to retract her story about Willow paralyzing Drew. Dante, the detective and acting police commissioner can’t detect the mountain of evidence that clearly shows that Willow was responsible for drugging Drew? Instead, he’s only focused on the methods that Lulu used to obtain the information and not the actual information in Lulu’s story.

Michael

Michael still insists that Willow is a good mother who would never hurt their kids. Despite the fact that just a few months ago, she was willing to frame Michael for attempting to murder Drew. Willow was also willing to make Michael look like a drug addict to steal the kids from him. She also continued to defend Drew after he manipulated Wiley to try to turn him against Michael. None of these are actions of a “good mother who would never hurt her kids.” But yet they’ve made Michael totally feckless when it comes to Willow. Why can’t a supposed billionaire CEO who is a Quartermaine, Corinthos AND a Spencer defeat a lowly jr. congresswoman? All he’s done is move her into the gatehouse which has done nothing to knock her off her high horse. And Michael has been pushed to the sidelines as a character for several months.

Honorable mention: Daisy
Ok so this one is not so serious but it also is because Sasha left town with Daisy because Willow was messing with her (a crime that Willow will probably never answer for) and Michael and Sasha were worried about Daisy’s safety. Now Michael looks like a deadbeat dad because why are Daisy and Sasha still out of town after all this time? (I know it’s because Sofia Mattison left the show and she’s joining DOOL so she won’t be back but the character has to be recast because Michael should be an active father to his daughter). Willow being the reason that Michael doesn’t get to raise his daughter just doesn’t sit right with me.

And that concludes my list.

The writers are twisting themselves in knots and jumping through Texas-sized hoops to protect Willow and it’s just not good TV. When you have to ruin every character’s reputation to prop up one character who keeps doing bad things, you’re making the a large chunk of the cast unlikable.

We get it. TPTB want Willow to be a central character on the show but ruining other characters to allow her to get away with everything is making the show insufferable. When a large chunk of the cast is unlikable, there is no one to root for and therefore people wanna tune out.

Let me know if I missed any characters they’ve ruined to prop up Willow.

Hudson Parker backstory

75 Upvotes

Have the writers forgotten that we were introduced to Hudson TWO MONTHS AGO as a terrifying mob-implied maniac who was so scary that a woman would run away to make sure he never got near their baby and then he beat the snot out of Ethan in a particularly sadistic scene?

They're treating him like any new intriguing mysterious stranger character. It's like they expect us to have instantaneous amnesia.

Hysterically they have managed to fix Curtis’ unnecessary neck brace so it is no longer inside out.

But the supportive chin piece is flipped the wrong so must be digging into the actors throat.

The case to reacast Josslyn

• Upvotes

I’m very confused as to why a lot of people seem to be almost rabid in saying she shouldn’t be recast. Recasting is something that has happened in soaps for a VERY long time. I
Often times a recast can change the perception of a character. For example, the two biggest for me are Rory as Michael and Kate as Kristina. When Lexi and Chad played them, i HATED those roles. When they were recast however something their performances resonated with me and made me love the character. The same goes for Cynthia as Nina, who to me IS Nina. Laura as Carly is the best example of this cause she IS Carly. Same with Trina, Tabyana is fabulous in the role and made me love Trina even more. Alexa Havins slightly changed my view of Lulu where I don’t hate her as much even though I still find the character irritating. Amanda as BLQ made me love the character. Kristen as Molly is FABULOUS in the role. Braedyn Bruner is Amazing as Emma. So all of this to say cause right now Josslyn is in a really bad place with a lot of fandom and I think it’s not a Josslyn problem it’s a who plays Josslyn problem. Most people cannot keep the roles they had as kids into adulthood successfully, it’s kind of a rarity and that’s totally fine. I actually think a recast and a different approach might change the way people view the character but yet it seems for some reason she’s off limits. What are yalls thoughts on this?

Can somebody upload Phoebe’s DNA to 23 and me?

23 Upvotes

Adoptees and orphans can find out their biological parentage with just a cheek swab, even if the bio parents are deceased. Cold cases 50 years old are being solved through identifying 5th and 6th cousins. Yet in this universe, let’s pretend it’s 1990. Same with security cameras. They’re all broken or if they tape, can’t be uploaded to a secure database.

The writers are ignoring the bio mom’s entire side of the family by not doing this. Why?

As for mystery Dad, he must be related to somebody previously arrested in Port Charles. Just a hunch, but the obvious suspect is Jerry Jax.

Lulu is the latest scapegoat to be ganged up on (I’m tired of this trope)

Post image
228 Upvotes

GH’s hackneyed “no one believes person who is telling the truth” plot device has struck again. This time Lulu is the scapegoat.

Let’s briefly revisit all of the characters who this year alone have been ganged up on and not believed when they were telling the truth/falsely accused of something they didn’t do.

  1. First it was Michael being accused of shooting Drew when he did not. Everyone uncritically believed it was him.
  2. Then it was Isaiah being accused of being the “other driver” when he was not. Yet everyone uncritically believed it was him and entertained Curtis’ unfounded accusations.
  3. Then it was Brook Lynn being ganged up on for being the “other driver.” Sure, she actually was (as far as we currently know) but the accident was Jordan’s fault yet everyone ganged up on BLQ for an accident she didn’t cause.
  4. Next it was Sonny being accused of ordering the beating of Sidwell (and indirectly Curtis) in Pentonville. Most of the town is uncritically accepting it as fact and not at all wondering why a mob boss who’s gotten away with everything would have his henchmen sloppily incriminate him.
  5. Now it is Lulu being accused of writing an untruthful exposé about Willow drugging Drew when we all know the story was true.

Nevermind the fact that Elizabeth has been suspicious about the circumstances surrounding Drew’s locked in syndrome for months now. So much so that she had the Health Department check Willow’s house for mold. And she also was thrown by Willow’s constant insistence on not getting Drew communication devices when he was locked in. Somehow, Elizabeth has been dumbed down so much that she just can’t believe Willow is behind Drew’s paralysis. And Dante, the detective cannot put the pieces together to see what that Willow was so obviously behind Drew’s paralysis.

Oh, and Willow and Drew got a divorce the minute Drew was no longer paralyzed and everyone (including Elizabeth) expressed how odd that was but yet Lulu‘s article is so hard to believe?

What was the point of having Elizabeth be so suspicious about the circumstances surrounding Drew and Jack’s paralysis if she was going to not believe that Willow was behind it? Nvm I know the answer, it’s because the writers make everything up as they go and then change their mind and make every single character stupid for the sake of the plot.

I am so tired of this trite and uninspired writing. Why has this show descended into nothing more than rage bait at this point? Because I can only assume that it’s rage bait when you constantly insist on having characters be accused of lying when the audience knows they didn’t do it. What does it serve to do other than enrage your audience? Why do they insist on antagonizing us with the same repetitive nonsense month after month? It’s beyond old at this point.

Who is the next scapegoat of the forever recycled “no one believes person who is telling the truth” plot device? Outback will probably be accused of being Jack’s murderer, Trina’s stalker and Drew’s paralyzer and everyone will uncritically believe that even as he barks “I didn’t do it.” Because the writers can’t seem to come up with anything else, I guess this is all we can expect to see anymore. 🙄

🚨 #101326 OFFICIAL DONKEY REPORT 🚨

BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!! 😭😂😂

Somebody PLEASE tell me why Port Charles is operating with a shortage of common sense and an OVERSTOCK of audacity?!

Because tonight we got hospital employees who can't keep confidential information confidential, a baby agent who thinks she's the Secretary of Defense, and a grown man fighting for his life to prove he's not somebody's ERRAND BOY!!! 😭😂

First up… LIZBETH!!!

Girl, PLEASE!!! 😭😂

If you and Lucas had been worried about HIPAA in the FIRST PLACE, you wouldn't have to worry about anybody obtaining information under false pretenses!!!

Because all Lulu had to do was show up with a MEDICAL RELEASE FORM FOR DREW, and suddenly you and Lucas were ready to TELL IT ALL!!! 😭😂

MA'AM!!!

That release was for DREW CAIN!!!

Not Jack Brennan, not the entire hospital census, and certainly not everybody who has ever checked into General Hospital!!!

Y'all saw ONE signature and started talking like somebody had just offered you immunity in exchange for your testimony!!! 😭😭😂

Girl, you and Lucas have been treating confidential medical information like the Metro Court breakfast buffet. Everybody gets a plate, nobody checks credentials, and now suddenly you want to know HOW LULU GOT IN?!

And THEN here you go trying to DRY SNITCH in front of Dante like he's somebody!!!

MA'AM!!! 😭😂

What exactly is Dante supposed to do?!

Stand there with his badge and look concerned?!

Lizbeth, you cannot leave patient confidentiality sitting outside on the curb like Tuesday's garbage and then act surprised when somebody comes by and picks it up!!!

At this point, GH needs to stop giving y'all HIPAA training and start giving y'all a CLOSED-BOOK EXAM!!!

Because clearly the open-book version wasn't working!!!

And somebody PLEASE tell Lucas that a medical release form is NOT an ALL-YOU-CAN-TALK BUFFET PASS!!! 😭😭😂

NOWWWWW… JOSSLYN JACKS!!!

COME GET YOUR AWARD, BABY!!! 😭😂

Because you have officially reached the point where your confidence is writing checks your common sense cannot cash!!!

And before we discuss your latest waterfront delusion…

WHO IN THE NAME OF BUSINESS CASUAL DRESSED YOU?! 😭😭😂

Baby, that suit had you looking like the assistant manager of a funeral home who got promoted after the entire management team resigned!!!

Standing there looking like you were about to deny somebody's life insurance claim, repossess a Buick, and announce mandatory overtime!!!

Girl, you looked like the regional supervisor of BAD DECISIONS!!! 😂😂

And you had the NERVE to be standing there threatening SONNY?!

Let's discuss these PIERS!!!

Josslyn, your obsession with making Sonny the villain has officially turned your investigation into a PERSONAL VENDETTA WITH A WATERFRONT VIEW!!!

You are so determined to prove Sonny is responsible that you've apparently forgotten OTHER PEOPLE EXIST!!!

SIDWELL!!!

That man wanted those piers so badly he probably had the property listed as his emergency contact!!!

PIKEMAN!!!

When they were operating, they had their own interests and connections!!!

And who knows how many other people might want access to that waterfront?!

But here comes Agent Jacks with her two weeks of confidence and forty-seven years of attitude, acting like Sonny is the ONLY possible suspect!!!

GIRL, YOU ARE NOT INVESTIGATING!!!

YOU ARE SHOPPING FOR EVIDENCE THAT MATCHES YOUR PERSONAL GRUDGE!!! 😭😂

And the most ridiculous part?!

You think REVAMPING THE PIERS is going to make everything safe?!

BABY, PLEASE!!!

You think you're playing HGTV while everybody else might be playing THE GODFATHER!!! 😭😭😂

Girl, this is PORT CHARLES, NOT PROPERTY BROTHERS!!!

You cannot fix organized crime with fresh paint, new railings, decorative flowerpots, and an inspirational BEFORE-AND-AFTER PHOTO!!!

Josslyn really thinks she's about to host "LOVE IT OR LIST IT: MOB EDITION!" 😭😂

"Today we're transforming this dangerous waterfront into a beautiful family-friendly destination!"

Meanwhile, somebody in the background is trying to figure out WHO OWNS THE SHIPPING RIGHTS!!!

BABY, THE CRIMINALS DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR OPEN-CONCEPT RENOVATION!!! 😂😂

You worried about the curb appeal when you need to be worried about WHO'S PULLING UP TO THE CURB!!!

And THEN this girl looked Sonny in the face and said…

"BRING IT ON!"

GIRL!!!

BRING WHAT ON?! 😭😭😂

You haven't even gotten your first PROPERTY TAX BILL and you're already challenging the entire criminal underworld to a turf war!!!

You haven't completed a safety inspection, secured a building permit, or figured out who's collecting the garbage, but you're ready to take on SONNY CORINTHOS?!

Girl, the ink on the paperwork hasn't dried and you're already trying to start a sequel to THE GODFATHER!!!

Somebody get this child a HARD HAT AND A REALITY CHECK!!! 😂😂

And let's get something else straight!!!

Sonny has spent YEARS protecting you, helping raise you, and treating you like family!!!

But now you're standing there acting like this man wakes up every morning asking himself how he can personally ruin Josslyn Jacks's day!!!

GIRL, YOU ARE NOT THE CENTER OF EVERYBODY'S CRIMINAL UNIVERSE!!! 😭😂

And MARK MY WORDS!!!

I would not be surprised if this entire waterfront adventure ends with Sonny having to SAVE HER from somebody she never even considered a threat!!!

And when that happens?!

OH, I WANT THE RECEIPTS!!!

I want the apology NOTARIZED, CERTIFIED, DELIVERED BY COURIER, AND READ ALOUD AT THE NEXT QUARTERMAINE FAMILY DINNER!!! 😂😂

Because I already know Josslyn is going to find a way to say Sonny saved her WRONG!!!

"He should've told me he was coming!"

GIRL, YOU WERE ABOUT TO GET YOURSELF PACKAGED AND SHIPPED WITH THE IMPORTS!!! BE GRATEFUL!!! 😭😭😂

And finally… HUDSON!!!

Sir, I don't care how many times you tell yourself you're not a lackey.

YOU ARE A LACKEY!!! 😭😂

You can call yourself a partner, an associate, an independent contractor, or the executive vice president of undercover operations.

BABY, YOU STILL REPORT TO JOSSLYN!!! 😂

Sir, you're upset because people keep treating you like hired help?

BABY, Josslyn introduced you to Port Charles by announcing you WORK FOR HER!!! 😭😂

You can ride a million-dollar private jet, drink Jasper Jacks's expensive champagne, and call yourself the CEO of the Atlantic Ocean.

When Baby Agent Jacks says JUMP, you're still checking the employee handbook for the required HEIGHT!!! 😂😂

You standing there trying to convince everybody you're your own man while Baby Agent Jacks has you operating like the last employee left at a store that's going out of business!!!

At this point, Hudson needs to stop arguing about his title and ask Josslyn when OPEN ENROLLMENT STARTS!!!

Because if you're going to be taking all these orders, at least make sure the position comes with DENTAL, VISION, AND PAID TIME OFF!!! 😭😭😂

And before anybody comes for me, let me ask ONE QUESTION…

If Josslyn is so certain Sonny is responsible, WHERE IS THE PROOF?!

Because suspicion is not evidence, revenge is not an investigation, and an ugly business suit does NOT make you the director of the WSB!!! 😂😂

Now y'all tell me…

WHO WAS THE BIGGEST DONKEY TONIGHT?!

Lizbeth and her selective HIPAA enforcement, Josslyn and her waterfront fantasy, or Hudson and his imaginary management position?!

And while we're at it, DO Y'ALL THINK SONNY IS GOING TO END UP SAVING JOSSLYN FROM HERSELF?!

Because I can already hear that apology getting stuck in her throat!!! 😭😂

At this point the piers aren't the only thing that needs renovating. Somebody needs to renovate the COMMON SENSE in Port Charles!!!

And remember…

We don't make the donkeys… the donkeys make themselves!

Discussion My opinion on Joselyn and Sonny

19 Upvotes

I am 53 years old and I have been watching sing i was a little girl. Sonny is a fan favorite including mine. This whole Jocelyn hating him and bringing him down concerns me.

Sonny has children. He has always loved Jocelyn. The story line is making me not luke Jocelyn. Which I used to like. She's been a sort of villain for awhile now. Very conceited and overbearing.

While Sonny has been in the mob she's being a hypocrite by coming after him and being in the web, which is kind of criminal itself and very secret.

A better story ​line would have been if because he left the mob that he can have a bit of happiness with all of his family and friends and specifically grand children. I was loving his interactions with both his grandsons and sons till they went against him. I was also enjoying the relationship between Danny and Charlotte. So many characters are becoming unbearable. But I still watch cause of my favorites. Trina character has become unbearable also. I use to like all the ones im mentioning and I dont know what's going on.

A better story would be Jocelyn. Making up with Sonny for her mom and Donna and Michael and Dantes sake. I would respect that. Give Sonny a break. Hes been in a very hard role for a l9ng time. Allow him to have a forever love and be grandpa and dad and husband. Let him win. Anyway my opinion. I still love my favorite characters. God bkess everyone. This is the first time in all the years I'm watching that I make an opinion. Hopefully I'm not hated for it. With that said koodos to all the villains doing there jobs to make us dislike them. Especially willow and Drew. Give them kids to Michael. She's too much. Drew is so bad. I remember when liked him. Improved story lines, Tracy, I love Brooklyn not Chase, Live Ned and and Lucas, Emma, CARLY, Sonny, Jason, Fibi, Sonny, Rick, Laura, Felicia, aunti, Miss Robert and both his daughters. Hope The one with the baby comes back. So many that left that I miss like Sonnys daughter. Live so many. Congrats General Hispital for entertaining us for years. Please stay!​

Willow’s Libel Lawsuit

42 Upvotes

Any lawyers in the room here? I’m under the impression that in a libel lawsuit, it’s on the person claiming libel to PROVE that the statements are false. So a different burden of proof than a criminal case. AND that Willow just opened herself up to discovery, which someone who is totally guilty of doing the thing might now want to go through. I’m not a lawyer but I’ve watched a lot of legal TV 😂 can anyone confirm or set me straight?

Of course, I expect the GH writers to gloss over all of that…

Discussion When was the last time GH gave us a REALLY good kidnapping storyline?

8 Upvotes

Does anyone else miss the good, old-fashioned kidnapping and hostage storylines GH used to do?
And before anyone mentions it, yes, I know we recently had Josslyn being held captive underneath Wyndemere. I’m not forgetting about that storyline. I just personally didn’t find it particularly suspenseful or memorable.
I’m talking about the kind of kidnapping storyline where someone is genuinely at the mercy of a dangerous villain. They’re being held captive for several episodes, trying to escape, struggling against their captor, and their loved ones are desperately trying to find them. The kind of story that actually makes you anxious to see what happens next.

Robins kidnapping by Jerry and Faison, when Heather kidnapped Carly, when Franco kidnapped Sam and Lulu, those were all pretty great examples.

But touch on why I feel some of the younger characters should be explored with this is because you have young adult children to a bunch of people who have endless amounts of enemies. I thought someone would make a play at GIO since he was staying with Sonny. which is strange considering how much potential there is for drama.

What happened to the hostage situations like the one at the metro court. It’s fun to watch half the cast plot their escape from the room, it’s thrilling, it keeps you on the edge of your seat

Take Danny and Charlotte snooping around Wyndemere and getting caught by Cullum, for example. I genuinely thought that was setting up a kidnapping storyline. Two teenagers stumble into something dangerous, get caught by someone who has every reason to silence them, and suddenly they’re in way over their heads. That could’ve easily turned into a suspenseful, multi-episode hostage situation. Instead, the whole thing was resolved almost immediately.
I miss when kidnappings actually felt like kidnappings. Characters being locked away, physically restrained, attempting to escape, getting caught again, trying to outsmart their captors, and eventually having those dramatic rescue scenes. There’s so much storytelling potential there, especially when the younger generation gets mixed up in situations they aren’t equipped to handle.
I’m not suggesting GH needs to have someone kidnapped every other week, or that every captivity storyline needs to last for months. I just wish that when the writers do go there, they’d really commit to the suspense and danger instead of resolving everything so conveniently.
So when was the last kidnapping or hostage storyline on GH that you genuinely thought was GOOD? And does anyone else feel like the writers have become a little too cautious with these kinds of stories, particularly when teenagers are involved?

Speculation Hudson Parker connections?

I wonder about the interaction between Hudson and Rick at the auction, and then making a point of Hudson mentioning it in later scenes with Joss.

Long lost unknown son for Rick? Brother for Molly, nephew for Sonny? There would be possibilities there. A business rival for his cousin Michael?

If he's Phoebe's father, even more possibilities. They had him seem like a possible pairing up with Brooklyn for awhile.

Just wondering. 🤷‍♂️
