General Hospital Fans Express Frustration With Esme's Latest Storyline
Daniel Cobb
Esme Prince is officially out of Nikolas Cassadine's clutches and in the safety of General Hospital. However, before falling off the radar last year, she was a wanted woman for a litany of crimes, including all the murder and misery plaguing Port Charles. Naturally, PCPD Detective Dante Falconerri (Dominic Zamprogna) didn't waste time questioning her about her whereabouts for the last few months. Unfortunately for Dante (and viewers), Esme claimed to have no idea who she is or what's happened to her, leaving viewers furious.
Legions of annoyed fans have taken to Twitter to express their disappointment in Esme's latest storyline. One disgruntled viewer tweeted, "Oh no. More amnesia. Heather as the Hook. Would have preferred the Deputy Mayor. I may need to take a break for a few months." Another fan echoed that sentiment, writing, "Evil twins and memory loss. Recycle and repeat. I was hoping for something new and a little more creative for the new year."
However, not everyone is taking it out solely on the characters. One viewer is blaming the writing team for this plot, tweeting, "Ugh!! So predictable! Amnesia?? Give me a freaking break! Fire the writers!" Another fan isn't just fed up with Esme but tired of many storylines currently playing out. They said, "So annoyed Esme doesn't remember anything, annoyed Britt died, annoyed Heather is the hook."
