With General Hospital about to get a new lease on life with a new head writing team, some characters who have been stagnant for a while -- or just written out of character -- may get new leases on life, too. And it couldn't come a moment too soon for five of them. Here's why.
Why Alexis ever had her law license taken away is beyond us, anyway. Sure, she got drunk and accidentally stabbed Dante with a hypodermic needle and spent the next six months taking visitors and giving legal advice from Spring Ridge, but she didn't need to be disbarred. Hadn't she run enough people over with her car in the past and retained her law license?
On a show where a mobster and his hitman have been the heroes for 30 years, one would think Alexis could still be a lawyer from one little needle incident, especially since the victim didn't even want to press charges.
However, Finn is no longer that man. Instead, he is a brooding pile of man pain who rarely smiles and needs accolades at all times to see him through the day. He spent a whole year trying to control Elizabeth's life and has spent the last twelve months trying to live that down and be a better person, but his lackluster relationship with Elizabeth has caused fans to sour on him. Maybe that will change if GH realizes that Finn and Elizabeth need to exit each other's orbits -- like yesterday.
We're glad the show remembered that Lois is some sort of odd math genius, but she is also so much more than that. The Lois we remember had layers, knew when to allow people to live their own lives, and didn't pass judgment on people she barely knew. Give Lois that personality back -- as well as her own storyline -- and then this return will seem worth it.
However, we know that woman still exists because she came out to play at the start of the year, when Willow learned Michael had tried to control whether she saw Nina -- meaning, Michael tried to control her life. Willow gave Michael a piece of her mind for that stunt and kicked him out of the house.
However, she recently took him back and once again sang his praises as she apologized to him for overreacting. This Willow seems to live to make Michael happy rather than herself, and that needs to change.
This Drew has inexplicably placed Carly on a pedestal, announcing that her daughter needed her more than his daughter needed him before throwing himself on his sword and going to prison on her behalf. He is also angry, has a temper, threatens people, and is hellbent on revenge. No, that's not Drew Cain, and if GH wants us to believe it is, he needs a character overhaul pronto.
