General Hospital Villains or Victims? 5 Characters Viewers Want Gone from Port Charles

As General Hospital heats up with more betrayal, romance, and revenge than ever before, fans are beginning to shift their focus. It’s not just the heroes and heroines commanding attention—the troublemakers, the ones stirring chaos in nearly every corner of Port Charles, have become lightning rods for controversy. While complex villains can often be fan favorites, there’s a fine line between compelling character flaws and flat-out destructiveness.

In recent storylines, five particular characters have found themselves in the crosshairs of fan frustration. Their actions, motives, and unraveling arcs have raised a simple yet brutal question: Is it time for them to leave Port Charles for good?

Let’s dive into the top five characters that viewers think have overstayed their welcome.

1. Drew Cain – From Hero to Havoc

Once considered a noble and reliable figure, Drew Cain has undergone a dramatic and divisive transformation. His prison stint seems to have stripped away the man fans once admired. What remains is a shell of his former self—calculating, manipulative, and disturbingly ruthless.

Drew’s recent actions speak volumes. He played a key role in the breakdown of Milo and Sasha’s marriage, a betrayal that struck deep with long-time viewers who had rooted for that couple. But that was only the beginning.

Drew has inserted himself into Curtis and Portia’s relationship, creating rifts that seem intentionally orchestrated. Using his status and influence, he’s taken it upon himself to play judge, jury, and executioner in the lives of those he labels enemies—especially Sonny Corinthos.

Drew’s new persona has earned him more adversaries than allies, and many fans believe it’s only a matter of time before karma—and possibly a vengeful enemy—catches up with him. If the writers are steering him toward an explosive exit, it may be the clean slate General Hospital needs.

2. Kai Taylor – A Friend or a Snake?

Kai Taylor once carried the aura of a fresh, compelling addition to the Port Charles scene, especially as a potential love interest for the beloved Trina Robinson. But recent developments have turned that promise into disappointment.

His decision to leak Karissa’s confidential plan to Drew—a move clearly made for personal gain—has put Trina’s entire family in jeopardy. Fans are increasingly disillusioned with his loyalty and priorities, especially considering Trina’s unwavering kindness and support toward him.

Kai’s duplicity suggests that he’s more self-serving than trustworthy, and his willingness to throw others under the bus has pushed viewers to believe he’s unworthy of a second chance—or of Trina’s heart.

3. Portia Robinson – Talented but Tarnished

Dr. Portia Robinson was once a fan favorite: intelligent, driven, and protective of her daughter. But over time, the cracks in her moral compass have become hard to ignore.

Her most damning move was manipulating Heather Webber’s test results, an ethical violation with serious implications—not just legally, but for the community’s faith in her medical integrity. Portia’s repeated lies to Curtis, her husband, have only deepened the rift between them and raised questions about whether she can truly be trusted again.

Despite her professional achievements, Portia’s personal missteps are mounting fast. Jail time or career devastation could be on the horizon if the truth comes fully to light. For many viewers, her time in Port Charles feels like it’s ticking down.

4. Willow Tait – From Sympathy to Scorn

There was a time when Willow Tait evoked deep sympathy—her battle with cancer, her troubled past, her grace under pressure. But lately, her trajectory has taken a sharp and disturbing turn, and not everyone is rooting for her anymore.

Since becoming entangled with Drew, Willow has displayed increasingly erratic behavior. Her obsessive jealousy toward Daisy, paired with her reckless endangerment of an innocent baby, has shaken her moral credibility. Fans once saw her as a symbol of resilience, but now she comes across as possessive and manipulative, a shadow of her former self.

Willow’s descent has been gradual but undeniable. With fewer redeeming qualities on display and growing backlash from viewers, some are suggesting that a break from the canvas—or a full character reset—might be the best way forward.

5. Lulu Spencer – A Comeback Gone Wrong?

Lulu Spencer’s return from her long coma was meant to be a redemptive arc—one that gave her a second chance at life and love. Unfortunately, her re-entry into Port Charles has been anything but graceful.

Despite Sam McCall’s generous support, Lulu has spiraled. Instead of healing, she’s become impulsive, reactive, and at times dangerously erratic. Her temper, unpredictable mood swings, and tendency to lash out have alienated even those closest to her.

Lulu’s behavior feels out of step with the version of her fans once adored. The woman who once fought for justice and family now seems driven by selfish motives and emotional outbursts, often placing others in harm’s way.

Many believe that unless she undergoes a meaningful transformation—or is removed from the canvas altogether—Lulu’s return will remain one of the show’s most disappointing character revivals.

Should They Stay or Should They Go?

While General Hospital thrives on morally grey characters and tangled motivations, even fans have their limits. Characters like Drew, Kai, Portia, Willow, and Lulu may still have potential if given the right redemption arcs—but as it stands, they’re dragging down those around them, and viewers are noticing.

Their continued presence in Port Charles raises essential questions: Can chaos still be compelling? Or is it time to clear the slate and make room for new heroes, new villains, and fresh emotional stakes?

Your Turn!

Who do you think should leave Port Charles next? Is Drew beyond redemption? Should Willow be written out before things go further off the rails? Or does someone else deserve a one-way ticket out of town?
