Changes to Come

Changes are coming to General Hospital and many fans will be disappointed to know that after waiting for Robin's return, she will once again be leaving Port Charles.

Sonny's half brother and Alexis' ex will be returning.

Kimberly McCullough's return was meant to be short-term but geez, it hardly seems like she's been back. Now with Sabrina's pregnancy and way too many people keeping the "secret" of who the baby daddy really is, it hardly seems fair that Robin will once again be leaving. Kimberly will be directing a movie and that is why her return was short-term.

Another familiar face leaving will be Robin's father Robert. Will he be leaving keeping a secret with Anna about what they did to Faison or will that secret be revealed before he leaves?

Carly's daughter Josslyn will be returning and aged to fit in with fellow PC kids Emma, Cameron and Spencer. With the magic of kids growing up too fast on daytime how much longer before we have this quartet bringing back memories of Lucky, Elizabeth, Nikolas and Emily?

Characters that I wish were leaving include Heather Webber. I've said it before and I'll say it again. ENOUGH!!!

It has been nice to have Bobbie back again even though looking at Jackie Zeman's frozen freaky looking face is rough, it is fun to have more Spencers around.

Right now I feel like GH is a mess with old characters not really having a place and new characters not holding my interest.

Sound Off On Ridiculous Storylines

I love GH. I've been a pretty faithful fan of ABC's only remaining daytime drama for a long time but I'm getting pretty tired of these ridiculous storylines recently.

Heather Webber needs to be gone. How ridiculous is it that although she was confined to a mental hospital she continually managed to get out even though her crimes should have put her as high risk.

Her "death" was over the top as well. From her fall from the hospital roof didn't kill her and her serial killer son THOUGHT he killed her but actually her only wounded her and buried her alive???? Please enough.

Another character that just won't go away is the evil Dr. Obrecht. Please tell me how this woman can escape prosecution and now become chief of staff at GH??? Really?

I love a good plot twist but this just insults the fans.

I guess this is opening the door for Anna and Robert's secret to come out. We believe that Anna and Robert did away with Faison (that's what we were led to believe) and somehow this will be tied into the whole Dr. Obrecht escapes jail story.

Enough already with the torture of Dante and Lulu not being able to have a child and give them back their baby!!!

Let the truth come out about Brit and have Nikolas finally see the truth!

Speaking of the truth, I guess it is too much to ask for Ava Jerome to finally pay for her sins. I mean we all know she killed Connie and she probably is the one responsible for Silus' wife's coma.

Speaking of Silus, he came onto the scene being a pompous jerk and somehow won over Sam. I know Sam was mourning Jason but I thought she was a little bit smarter than that. Is Silus good or bad? All I can think is his brother Stephen was evil, is there some genetic link there?

Carly is another character that the writers have really messed up. We know Carly makes mistakes with men but Franco???

I love Roger Howarth and after the whole lawsuit fiasco with Prospect Park and the cancellation of One Life to Live, I wish there was a way we could have Todd back. I miss Todd. Although Roger is a great actor and he does capture Franco's nuttiness, I cannot see him as being a long-term character.

The same goes with the characters of Kiki and Silus. Silus has deep dark secrets and I doubt it will turn out good for him and Sam. Kiki is just kind of there. I don't know who she is and at times I just don't care. I guess Michael needed a girlfriend but they bore me.

I'd love to see more Tracy and Luke but since his recovery from the poisoning he just isn't the same Luke.

Alexis needs a man and after attempts to hook her up with Shawn and then Derek who turned out to be Julian, it doesn't seem like Ms.Davis is ever going to get romance.

I do like Sonny and Olivia together even though again, a complete turn-around in a character. I mean Olivia hated the mob and now she seems to just be ignoring that.

Morgan needs to go. Since aging and re-casting the role, fans have not been happy. The May/December romance between him and Ava is gross.

I do like Ava Jerome though. She is tough and ruthless. She truly is a Jerome and this is one time the writers are getting it right.

The return of Robin has been a bit disappointing. She and Patrick had their ups and downs and the way she acts now she should be worried about him leaving her for Sabrina.

Elizabeth needs to get a life.

We need Lucky back and we need Jason back. Some of these new characters are just passing through and while we are suffering through these ridiculous storylines neglected characters have become background fixtures.

What happened to Milo? What happened to Lucy and Laura's spa?

It's nice to have Bobbie back again but I admit that it is painful to look at her. Too much botox has made her look quite scary.

Lulu has turned into a very unlikeable character since the role was recast. I say find a new love interest for Dante to shake her up.

well these are MY thoughts on what's happening today in Port Charles. I would love to hear what you think?
