The writing of the longest-running ABC soap opera General Hospital is being highly criticized by the fans of the show, recently. The current plots and storylines including Sam McCall’s demise, Kristina and Molly’s tiff, and now the revelation of Drew and Willow’s intimacy, have left the fans disappointed.
The fans have expressed their disappointment with the episode and the show in the comments of a recent clip uploaded from the episode aired on November 5, 2024, on the official Facebook account of General Hospital.
“This show is becoming such a joke. Kristina is older than Molly, but Molly always has to explain to Kristina how certain things work/need to be done. And now Willow chews Sasha out over something she should have told Michael when it happened, not months later, and now not only kisses Drew for a third time, but is now about to sleep with him?” wrote a user named Kerri Lynn.
“She doesn't love Michael or want her marriage. Now it's a guarantee Willow ends up pregnant... along with Sasha; the only difference is Sasha will know who her baby's father is, Willow will not. I can't wait for Willow and Nina's worlds to collide after Willow finds out she's not the only one Drew's messing around with,” she added.
The same user went on to write,
“I still don't get how these writers think we're falling for this Nina/Ava friendship. NOBODY in their right mind - Ava, because we know Nina's never been in her right mind - would be friends with someone who kidnapped them, forced them into premature labor and proceeded to kidnap the baby and try to pull the child off as their own."
The current plot dynamics have the viewers getting their interest off the show.
