A look back at the\u00a0General Hospital<\/em>\u00a0very worst storylines this year, including\u00a0Dante Falconeri\u2018s (Dominic Zamprogna) disgust, Lucky Spencer\u2019s (Jonathan Jackson) bizarre revolving door return, and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re going to dig into GH\u2019s<\/em> 2025 bad plots, ranking from lame to downright laughable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Hospital: Dante vs. Gio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All right, number one, the first horrible storyline we got to talk about is Dante hating on Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) both before and after he found out about their family ties as father and son. At first, it was contrived and then later to me, it got contemptible. So, Dante and Gio have gotten along great for two decades. They\u2019d known each other his whole life. And this was before the big rewrite that General Hospital<\/em> did to make them father and son. Which is interesting. That\u2019s not really the issue here. It\u2019s the way Dante has behaved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because all of a sudden, right before the big reveal, Rocco Falconeri (Finn Frances Carr) got alcohol poisoning at a party and\u00a0Dante unreasonably blamed\u00a0Gio. Mind you, it was definitely not his fault. He actually helped Rocco and probably saved him, but it was a very clumsily written attempt to deliberately pit Dante and Gio against each other just before the paternity reveal. This is a repeat thing\u00a0GH<\/em>\u00a0has done so many times over the years, which makes it even worse and more contrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GH Repeats Overdone Plot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

They have a parent and child hate each other and then they reveal that they are parent and child. They did it with Dante and\u00a0Sonny Corinthos\u00a0(Maurice Benard). They did it with Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) and Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen). They did it with Carly Corinthos Spencer (Laura Wright) and Bobbie Spencer (Jacklyn Zeman).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, I mean, Carly knew, but Bobbie didn\u2019t know. But it\u2019s a textbook GH<\/em> repeat plot. So, Dante later tried to apologize and reconnect with Gio after he found out that he was his son with Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton). And then GH<\/em> turned around and had Dante hating Gio again because of Hank Dalton\u2019s (Daniel Goddard) lab break-in. And yeah, I will agree that was a little more Gio\u2019s fault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Rocco went into the lab on his own after Gio told him, \u201cDon\u2019t do anything. Stand down.\u201d And then Dante made it worse, saying Rocco cannot see Gio. So now they\u2019re trying to make peace for Rocco\u2019s sake. And I\u2019m just hoping\u00a0General Hospital<\/em>\u00a0doesn\u2019t pit Dante and Gio against each other again. We\u2019ve had enough. On the plus side, at least Dante didn\u2019t shoot Gio like Sonny did him. There\u2019s that. But it\u2019s still very contrived and repetitive. Nothing new there to see and just unlikable on Dante\u2019s behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonny Corinthos & Justine Turner: Will This Recycled Law Enforcement Romance Finally Be Different?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Number two on our bad plot list is Sonny and Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) and their flirty little thing. Again, it\u2019s a repeat plot with\u00a0General Hospital<\/em>\u00a0having Sonny flirt and charm another woman in law enforcement. It has been done many times over the years. It never goes well. Fans always hate it and they\u2019re cranking it out again. Recently, it looked like\u00a0Sonny was starting to\u00a0win Justine over and that he was proving to her he\u2019s not all bad. And it looked like that she was starting to see Sonny differently, especially when Justine (Nazneen Contractor) showed up at Sonny\u2019s house looking for help with her car that night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then Justine met Donna Corinthos (Scarlett Spears), who\u2019s adorable. Then she overheard\u00a0Drew Cain Quartermaine\u00a0(Cameron Mathison) blackmailing Sonny. And it looked like Justine (Nazneen Contractor) was genuinely warming up to Sonny. But then recently, Justine told Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) she\u2019s letting Sonny think that he\u2019s charming her, but Justine is still plotting to take him down. So, it\u2019s the same old storyline yet again. I do expect Sonny may win her over and they have a bad romance. We\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Justine plot will only be fresh if she really does not fall for Sonny and actually does file charges against him. Otherwise, it\u2019s same old, same old, same old. Now, in the end, we know Justine is not going to put Sonny behind bars at all, or if she does, not for long. Most likely though, Justine will fall for the dimples, or things will just fizzle out and fall flat, and they\u2019ll let this plot fall by the wayside, and there was no point to it in the first place. This is a bad plot that\u2019s going to continue into 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jonathan Jackson\u2019s Pointless Return as Lucky Spencer: A Disappointment for GH Fans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All right, number three on our list is\u00a0Lucky\u2019s surprise return\u00a0and abrupt exit. It made Jonathan Jackson\u2019s return absolutely pointless. I mean, fans were excited when he came back as Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) after a 13-year absence. Some fans, some didn\u2019t want him back because they didn\u2019t like the way that he treated Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst). So, there was this all this hoopla and a big roll out about Jonathan Jackson coming back and promises of big drama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then Lucky reconnected with Elizabeth, which was exciting because she hasn\u2019t had a front burner storyline of her own in years. And then Lucky proposed to Elizabeth, but she couldn\u2019t do it because she was worried Lucky can\u2019t settle down in Port Charles. Sure enough, he bailed and he left Port Chuck. And I do understand as a person, as an actor, why Jonathan Jackson came to General Hospital<\/em> and then why he left. He wanted the gig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He wanted the regular paycheck, but he and his family live in Tennessee. He didn\u2019t want to move back to California. And in the end, Jonathan Jackson couldn\u2019t handle the back and forth and working so far from home. So, I\u2019m not blaming the actor at all. But in the end, Lucky\u2019s returned turned out to be one of the worst storylines of 2025 because it was for nothing. Nothing came of it except maybe some closure between Lucky and Elizabeth. And now she\u2019s back to being a side character, which absolutely stinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cody Bell\u2019s Questionable Seduction Scheme: A Low Point for General Hospital Characters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All right, next on our list, number four, is\u00a0Cody Bell\u00a0(Josh Kelly) being paid to seduce Ava Jerome (Maura West). And I think this annoyed\u00a0GH<\/em>\u00a0fans because Cody and Molly were starting to catch feelings for each other. But not even so much that. It was a scheme cooked up by Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi) because of her endless hatred for Ava. And when they recast the character of Kristina, she has been written as extremely unlikable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans were sick and tired of\u00a0Kristina and also annoyed\u00a0that they drag Cody back into being a hustler out for a quick buck. It just didn\u2019t make sense. Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) pays him well. He\u2019s happy at the Quartermaines. He and Mac Scorpio (John J. York) get along and he has a new family that loves him. So, didn\u2019t make any sense for Cody to risk it. So, Kristina tempting him with a big payday was icky. It was basically male prostitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, fans hated that Kristina was hurting Molly again by paying Cody to get close to Ava when Kristina knew Molly\u2019s heart was on the line. Thankfully, Cody came to his senses. And honestly, Kristina is a lot more tolerable now that she, Ava, and Alexis Davis held Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) hostage and bonded over that. And Cody and Molly are finally on the right track. So, yay. But the Kristina Cody plot was still awful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"General
General Hospital: Drew Cain Quartermaine \u2013 Dante Falconeri<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Drew Kaine\u2019s Villain Arc: Why Fans Think He\u2019s GH\u2019s Worst Character of 2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All right, number five on our list, last but definitely not least, the absolute worst plot on\u00a0General Hospital<\/em>\u00a0this past year was any and everything to do with Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison). Every single plot he\u2019s in is terrible, except for the one where he got shot. And the reason that that one actually is terrible as well is because fans were so disappointed he didn\u2019t die. If he had, I might be saying this was one of the best plots. And of course, this is about the character, not the actor. Cameron Mathison is a great actor. That\u2019s\u00a0why fans hate Drew so much\u00a0because Cameron plays the villain so well. So, hats off to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But\u00a0General Hospital<\/em>\u00a0has warped the character of\u00a0Drew to be so awful\u00a0and just so unlikable. When\u00a0GH<\/em>\u00a0first paired him with Willow, that was the beginning of the end for Drew. It made him irredeemable starting with the kiss Fourth of July last year. And you know, Drew\u2019s gone from troubled to downright repulsive and unhinged. He screwed over Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He tried to bulldoze the Quartermaine crypt. He watched Ned Quartermaine (Wally Kurth) having a coronary and wouldn\u2019t help. He stole Tracy\u2019s heirlooms. There\u2019s no bringing Drew back from what he\u2019s done. Unless we find out he\u2019s under mind control by Peter August (Wes Ramsey) or Faison (Anders Hove) or a random Cassadine. Drew\u2019s plots are by far the worst storylines of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Beloved Returns to Heartfelt Memorials: The Best General Hospital Plots of the Year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

And in case you\u2019re wondering what plots I actually liked, here\u2019s a rundown. I loved Erika Slezak as Ronnie Bard (Erika Slezak) and everything that went with it. I love Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) coming\u00a0back and working with\u00a0Carly to destroy Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). I also liked that they resurrected Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud), although I don\u2019t like Rocco calling her \u201cother mother.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But then again, teens are angsty that way. Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson)\u2019s passing I thought was handling very well, as was her memorial. And last, I love, love, love Recast Michael (Rory Gibson). I like Chad Duell, but Rory Gibson is a revelation as Michael. I loved the actor on\u00a0Young and the Restless<\/em>, but they never gave him enough airtime, and he is burning down the walls at\u00a0General Hospital.<\/em>\u00a0Drop your comments here on your best and worst plots of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
