Summer is coming, and on General Hospital, that usually means an uptick in the number of teens hanging around the pool. But you can’t just thrust newbies in front of viewers the minute school is out. You need to get fans used to them and attached to them so they will care about them, come pool season. Here’s who we think those new young people should be.
Key Takeaways
- Age Wylie and Leo.
- Age Scout and bring back Violet — aged.
- Meet some new people.
Teens in Port Charles
Sure, Port Charles currently has high-schoolers Danny (Asher Antonyzyn), Rocco (Finn Carr), and Charlotte (Bluesy Burke). But they’re all really, really convolutedly related. We need some fresh blood. Relatively speaking.
The first character that needs to be aged is Wylie (Viron Weaver). Can you imagine the drama when he finds out Willow (Katelynn MacMullen) isn’t his biological mother — Nelle (Chloe Lanier) was? Considering how many people put Wylie at the center of the universe, the drama will paralyze Port Charles!
Meanwhile, Leo (Easton Rocket Sweda) is due for a growth spurt, too. Let’s see him tap into his Jerome side. Let’s see some evil plotting with Aunt Ava (Maura West)!
Front and Center
Scout (Cosette Abinante) has been through so much trauma lately that she is destined to go psycho sooner rather than later. Good.
Meanwhile, shouldn’t Violet (Jophielle Love) make her way back to town, moving in with her beloved Tracy (Jane Elliot)? She isn’t related to nearly as many people as the other young women of Port Charles. This should make her very popular.
Good News
Although this is the most radical idea yet. Hear me out: What if… What if… the show brings on a character who isn’t related to anyone currently on the canvas?
Crazy, I know. But remember how Trina (Tabyana Ali) was just a friend of Joss (Eden McCoy) to start? And then she had a whole family built around her? (Yes, we remember that she’s Taggart’s daughter, and he was on the show first.
But GH certainly doesn’t remember whose daughter she is, so why should we?) What if one of the kids has a friend — and the friend is free to dally with… anyone?
