Now I won’t pretend to be blind to the recent gripes from many General Hospital fans across social media platforms. Between the continued outrage about Kelly Monaco’s departure as Sam, the discontent behind Cyrus’ (Jeff Kober) murder spree and the day-to-day annoyance with this villainous version of Drew (Cameron Mathison), General Hospital viewers can at times seem angrier than Dallas Cowboy fans after a loss to the Washington Commanders.
Whether I agreed with what was being said or I didn’t, I soldiered on with watching the soap, remembering the great daytime television it made during summers at my grandmother's house when I was younger and hopeful such entertaining chaos would soon return. After all, with Jason (Steve Burton) and Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) back, new versions of Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Lucas (Van Hansis) on the scene and Tracy (Jane Elliot) up to her menacing ways, how could I not hope for more dramatic highs?
