Never Forgotten: 3 General Hospital Characters Fans Still Want Back on the Show

There are very few shows like General Hospital created in the world of TV. And it comes about many things: the long run of the soap opera, the premise (which are many), the cast and the storylines, and the list goes on.

That’s why the fandom of the show is also unique: for example, it doesn’t matter whatever is changed in the show and how many of their favorite characters are killed off, the viewers will stay with soap opera no matter what.

There is another common trait among General Hospital fans: they never let go of the characters that are no longer on the show. And here we have the names we hear more often than others.

Tom “Tommy” Hardy

To state how serious we are, let's start with this character. Little Tommy is the son of doctors Tom and Simone Hardy. There was a fall-out between them and Dr. Harrison Davis and for a moment there we thought he was the real father, but then it was clear that Tommy is Tom’s son after all.

We have not seen him since he left the city with his mother in 1997. However, in 2013 it was stated that he has completed medical school.

“The character would be mid-30’s now. An African-American doctor would be great and perhaps a match for Jordan? A mentor for TJ? He and Liz would bond over their parents both abandoning them for Africa,” Redditor spidermanvarient said.

Brenda Barrett

She is the mother of Alec Barrett with the late mobster Aleksander Janáček. The role was originally played by Vanessa Marcil in 1992. Brenda appeared on screen from 1992-98 and made three returns in 2002, 2010 and 2013.

“She comes back as a surprise guest at Brooklyn’s wedding. She’s the 1st to notice that something is off with Sonny. Carly being Carly fills Nina in on the tragic love story of Sonny & Brenda. Plus she can reconnect with Jagger,” Redditor Efficient_Paint_5536 said.

Lucky Spencer

Fans also all say that it’s time the showrunners brought Lucky back. He is the son of legendary power couple Luke and Laura Spencer. He first appeared on screen in 1993 and was portrayed by Jonathan Jackson. Later the role was also played by Jacob Young and Greg Vaughan, only to go back to Jackson in 2009.

The fans demand: “recast and bring back the character.”

“Lucky for sure. Time to get that 'deadbeat dad' moniker off his back and let Laura have ONE of her children around, to lean on,” Redditor junknowho said.
