General Hospital fans are less than happy with Serena since her return to Port Charles. Lucy’s daughter seems to rub people the wrong way, but that can always change for the better.
Serena’s Return
Serena (Kelly Kruger) comes from a GH legacy family. Her dad is the infamous Scott Baldwin (Kin Shriner); her biological mom was Dominique (Shell Danielson), but Lucy (Lynne Herring) gave birth to her and raised her.
Serena has been off-screen for years, but recently returned to Port Charles. So far, not so good. She has not been playing well with others.
Serena is Lucy’s daughter, so an irritating personality should be expected. It is also understandable that she wants to get Deception back for her mom, but her methods are slightly maddening. Manipulating Jason (Steve Burton) is definitely not the way to go. Serena needs to do better.
Saving Serena
Serena is not a villain; she is just a bit self-centered and manipulative. Kruger is doing a wonderful job with the character, but Serena needs to grow and maybe not take bad advice from her mom. This can be an easy fix.
Serena is smart, and she can be the one to turn Deception around. She keeps throwing out ideas for packaging and updating products. Nobody is listening to her because their main concern is who is controlling the company, not how to improve it. If Serena can successfully implement her ideas, she can be the hero of the story.
A close relationship with her brother Cody (Josh Kelly) might help her get along with the residents of Port Charles. He also had a rocky start, but has endeared himself to most everyone, especially Tracy (Jane Elliot). Cody would be a great ally for his sister.
What do you think of Serena? Can she be redeemed?
