General Hospital: Fans are not enjoying the new Michael

General Hospital fans are overwhelmingly expressing that they are not enjoying this new version of Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell). Viewers are saying the character has become self-righteous, condescending, and downright annoying. He is attempting to throw his weight around and although he is both Corinthos and Quartermaine Michael is falling short.

The young man who was adopted and raised by Sonny Corinthos and mentored by Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is expressing more of the irrational behavior that has been displayed by his mother Carly Corinthos (Laura Right). He has made it his one man mission to punish Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) for not revealing that Sonny was alive for 9 months and not doing a very good job of it.

Michael Corinthos: Changing before the viewers' eyes

Michael took it upon himself to press charges of fraud and kidnapping against Nina without first checking to find out what his mother or father thought about it. He gave a large sum of money to the campaign of Lantana County Pennsylvania DA Sheridan to take on the case and he also wants to keep Nina out of her grandson's life. Michael in recent months is always brooding over something and looking for trouble when he used to be the peacemaker in the family.

In spite of hearing Sonny say on the witness stand that no crime was committed against him, Michael is still gunning for Nina. He became so angry that he punched Scott Baldwin (Kin Shriner) a man old enough to be his grandfather in the face. When Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) warned that Scott could press charges Michael did not even care. His irrational behavior and fiery temper are a recipe for disaster.

General Hospital: Like father like son

Michael does not display the wisdom of the Kenny Rogers song of needing to know when to "Fold them, when to hold them, when to walk away or when to run." He is actually showing himself to be rash and unpredictable just like his late biological father AJ Quartermaine (Sean Kanan) whose behavior in part led to his untimely death.

Everything AJ did would backfire on him and he became the unofficial black sheep of the Q clan. General Hospital viewers are saying they do not believe Michael will show himself strong as a Quartermaine or a Corinthos but will ultimately endure a great fall from grace. Ironically, although Sonny and Carly have given advice to others and tried to persuade them they are taking a hands-off approach regarding their oldest son.

Michael Corinthos might end up being a failure

Both Carly and Sonny have said in recent weeks that Michael is going to do what he wants to do as if they have no influence. The anger and bitterness Michael displays towards Nina is ridiculous and his actions in trying to punish her did not yield the desired results. Instead, everyone now knows about Mike and Nina in Nixon Falls, and Carly is devastated and has kicked Sonny out of the house at least for the night. Michael's choices may lead his father and Nina to reunite and his mother to be all alone.

Michael also has no legal grounds to keep Nina away from her grandson although he will continue to try. This character is being written in a manner where the fans are losing respect for him and his decision are causing problems rather than solving them. General Hospital viewers are certain that if this pattern continues that Michael Corinthos will experience a fall from grace rather than live up to what is expected of him as a Quartermaine and a Corinthos.

Jason certainly would not agree with Michael's actions and Willow has been questioning his decisions in recent weeks. Sonny has been in Mike mode and has not really addressed the situation because he was trying to protect Nina. The one person who may be in his corner and encourage Michael in his vendetta will be Carly who will now be out for blood. Be on the lookout for spoilers, updates, and breaking news for General Hospital as information becomes available.
