General Hospital fans love a good character, and we’ve been so blessed to have many of those over the years. There have been so many amazing people coming and going from this show that we cannot even begin to list all those that we love the most. But, we want to rank them in a different manner. We want to rank them in a way that hasn’t been done before, because not many people can recall what it is that they are looking at when they love a character so much. We can, though, and we are doing it with abandon. We are thinking that there is nothing better than a character who makes you feel at home when you watch the show. They make you feel as if Port Charles is your place of life, and they make you feel instantly good about all things.
Laura
She’s everything. She’s kind and good and brave and sometimes careless, and she’s all the things we love. She’s got it going on, and we love that about her. She’s worked hard on her life and what she’s overcome, and we love that. She’s been through some terrible things, and yet she’s always come out on the top. She’s a woman who makes Port Charles what it is, and she is the single most important person on the show no matter how much she is gone from time to time. She is the woman who makes us feel as if she is there for the long haul, and she is the show. She is Laura, and we cannot imagine the show without her. She makes us feel as if we are home.
Luke
He is a man who began his career on the show doing some of the worst, most unimaginable, most horrible, most terrible, most unforgiveable things to Laura. Yet she found it in her heart to not only forgive him but to love him and marry him and create a life with him. He is one half of the entire show in our opinion. He’s half of Luke and Laura, and he makes us feel as if we are at home. As if we can ring the bell to be greeted with a warm hug, a beer, and a fun evening.
Bobbie
We don’t know why we love a good hooker so much, but we do. We love Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, and we love Bobbie Spencer in Port Charles. It’s a just a thing we have, we suppose. We like our hookers, and we like them like we like them. There is something about her that is all the things we feel makes a home a home. She is good and kind and she is firm and tough when she needs to be. She keeps her business to herself, she doesn’t speak out until it’s that important, and she is not someone who gives tough love that’s unwarranted. She’s gold, and she always has been. She might be a little rough around the edges in some manners of speaking, but she’s good for us. She makes us want to pull up a chair, sit down, and chat with her like the old friends she makes us feel that we are.
Sonny
He’s a mobster. He’s a killer. He’s cold-hearted, and he is not a good person, and he is awful. And he is home. He is the man who makes this city seem like everything it is. He might have lived a long time making some poor choices, but he did all of it for himself, his family, and his future. He did a lot more good than he did bad if you think about it, and we love him for that. We love that he is someone who makes us feel as if we’ve been friends forever, and we never worry that he is not good enough for Carly or his family. He might make some mistakes, but he is always putting the people he cares about first and foremost in his life. He is a man who doesn’t give second thoughts to much, but he does to what matters the most, and we love that about him.
