‘General Hospital’ (GH) spoilers had high hopes for the show’s new writing team, but things have been getting more and more strange.
Instead of a storyline that ignores the obvious and makes little sense, they chose to take the easy way out with Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner)’s storyline of being able to walk.
While regaining the use of his legs is a great angle, the way they went about it was lazy at best, disingenuous and disgraceful at worst.
There was so much potential for this storyline, and now it feels like the writers did everything they could to move through it, including Curtis acting like he can now be a man again thanks to Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr).
‘General Hospital’ Spoilers – Missed opportunity
One of the things ‘General Hospital’ Spoilers love about the show is how they tackle real world problems, though not always in the correct way.
The storyline with Curtis has so much potential as they could’ve showed him and his family working out of his depression, which they did, and move onto new challenges.
They started doing the new challenges, but then they went from having Curtis work to solve who shot him to a miracle cure.
There’s no reason he couldn’t have both, and he could’ve put the pieces together to figure out who was targeting Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and whether he was targeted or not.
It would’ve been perfect for Curtis, and it could’ve ended up being a separate storyline as it could’ve been a rogue agent or Selina Wu (Lydia Look) trying to take Sonny out.
That would’ve added a personal angle and really made it engaging.
‘General Hospital’ Spoilers – Slamming the disabled
This is the part that really got us when Curtis gave Portia credit for helping him be a man again after finding the treatment.
That’s not the exact wording, but it’s the gist of what he said and that’s a huge insult to the disabled community.
Instead of showing Curtis find a way to triumph while being wheelchair bound and then finding the cure, they cast that aside and took the easy and lazy way out to give Portia props and move Curtis into another storyline.
Now, he’s set to become a major health and fitness entrepreneur thanks to his sudden recovery and Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) taking an interest in expanding into that market area.
We’ve had issues with the new writers, and sadly things don’t seem to be getting better.
