General Hospital, America's longest-running drama, runs on ABC and has been seen by generations of audiences for over 60 years. Superb drama, mystery, and love tales merge in this fictional town of Port Charles to keep audiences entertained with generations of characters whose significant connections build with each and every episode.
Many fans tune in each day to see where their favorite characters' journeys will take them next. One such favorite character is Dr. Steven Webber, who recently returned after years into obscurity. That brought along the good old Scott Reeves to the role.
Being the son of one of the most diabolical figures in the show, Heather Webber, Steven coming into the storyline promises a lot of drama and suspense with a touch of nostalgia. Steven is back in Port Charles on parole after he was arrested for illegally harvesting an organ.
So his GH mother Heather's release only enhances the mystery of this, hinting at a sea of new twists. Reeves was thrilled to return to his GH family, and shared excitement was evident as he stepped back onto the iconic set, reconnecting with old friends and honoring those no longer with us.
Why did Steven Webber go to jail in the first place on General Hospital?
In 2013, Steven Webber was arrested for the old blunder that he had made to save a life. Steven, a doctor, had decided to use one organ from a prisoner to break legal and ethical rules to save another person's life.
Hitting a rock bottom for him, it landed him in jail as well, compelling him to abandon his job and family. Now that Steven has been paroled, much remains to be revealed about how he will return to the whirlwind of Port Charles and its intricate web of relationships.
How will Steven’s storyline play out with Heather Webber on General Hospital?
Hitherto infamous for crazy schemes and unstableness, Heather Webber was released from jail recently for Port Charles' legal counsel, Ric Lansing, who managed to pull a few strings that got her out of prison.
With that done by Ric, Heather has been speculated to do whatever next especially now that her son Steven will possibly be in her company soon. Fans are hoping that Heather resurfacing in the world once again might finally push Steven into living out his redemption arc.
As much as Heather's track record is in making the drama more exciting, inclusion of her may really be an instigator of new conflicts between her son and Steven who is trying to begin anew. The seriousness of family dynamics like theirs keeps everyone wondering if Steven's return will be stunted or bolstered by her mother's newfound freedom.
As the story progresses, General Hospital fans will be on a roller coaster ride involving moral dilemmas and difficult decisions for Steven about living life outside of prison walls and the always volatile influence of his mother.
The character Steven Webber is back on General Hospital, and this speaks volumes of a tradition where long-running arcs may be some mix of redemption, nostalgia and drama. With Scott Reeves re-emerging into the picture, the dynamics of his character's family are alive, so fans have been anxiously waiting for what happens next in Steven's journey in Port Charles.
