Heading into the fall, General Hospital appears to be rather light on villains. With John Cates (Adam J. Harrington) dead, Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) gone and Heather (Alley Mills) "reformed," Port Charles is missing an antagonist.
Yes, you can argue that Sonny (Maurice Benard) is still in town, but he’s hardly the big bad wolf and arguably has more friends than foes. Also, his brother Ric (Rick Hearst) may be back and has historically been quite the troublemaker, but we don’t get the sense that he’s ready to cause the kind of chaos we’re used to seeing. And as far as the Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and the people holding Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) captive, they’re a bit too mysterious and we aren’t confident they’ll prove to be the villains we want to see.
