It’s hard to believe that it’s been over 10 years since General Hospital has seen Dr. Steven Webber (Scott Reeves) in Port Charles. Longtime viewers know that the good doc was last spotted onscreen being hauled off to a Memphis prison for his role in the murder of a comatose inmate whose organs Steven used to save the life of a little girl. Flash forward to today, and I think his presence is needed back on the soap.
For starters, his mother Heather Webber (Alley Mills) could certainly use a friend and support these days. Although she’s currently locked away in prison, General Hospital continues to build this big storyline that many of her past misdeeds were a result of cobalt poisoning from a hip replacement. Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) is even back in Port Charles trying to make the case to get her out of prison. If he proves successful, Heather doesn’t really have any family in town to help and support her aside from her grandson Ace who is still in diapers. So bringing Steven back to town could give Heather an ally.
