General Hospital has presented complex characters for years who have moved from one end of the grey spectrum to the other. Based on how they react to adverse situations and their own ambitions and greed, many characters have overturned fan perceptions about them by their actions.
While some have been benevolent despite being on the wrong side of the law, such as Sonny Corinthos, others have taken the good qualities to a new low, making them villains like Drew Cain. The twists and turns of the current storyline have the potential to turn some harmless characters into sinister villains, while some other characters may choose to work for justice and become the surprising heroes.
5 characters with the potential of becoming antagonists on General Hospital
1) Michael Corinthos
Longtime General Hospital fans have seen Michael Corinthos (now played by Rory Gibson) as the hot-headed son of Carly Spencer (Laura Wright). However, despite some crude crimes to his credit, Michael has never been a full-blown villain.
His inherent sense of justice has pushed him to even challenge his adoptive father, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). However, his recent change in strategies has made him a scheming baddie. His desperate need to take revenge on his former wife, Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen), while preserving his image of a forgiving husband, makes him a sinister character.
Currently, he is scheming ways to push his brother-in-law, Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard), as a bait towards Willow, knowing that it may destroy his sister’s marriage. He may go to any length to bring his plan to fruition.
2) Curtis Ashford
Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) was a morally correct P.I.-turned-businessman, with a strong sense of justice. He is known to dislike lies and secrets. However, his aversion for secrecies has become his enemy.
His obsession with the car accident that disfigured Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) has led him to investigate other drivers on the road. When Dr. Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) refused to give away his destination, Curtis assumed that the doctor was keeping secrets because he was the culprit driver.
However, unable to pin the blame on Isaiah, who is incidentally dating Curtis’s former wife, Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr), Curtis assaulted Isaiah during an altercation, leading to multiple fractures on the surgeon’s active hand. If the legal system finds Curtis guilty of assault and battery, he may end up in prison. However, Curtis may take this obsession further to try and destroy Isaiah.
3) Jacinda Bracken
Escort Jacinda Bracken’s recent twist in the story arc has rattled General Hospital fans. While initially, a minor character used by Nina (Cynthia Watros) to defame Congressman Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), she came into focus when she became Michael’s fake alibi for the Drew shooting case. Soon viewers saw Michael and Jacinda come closer in a genuine romance as the latter formed a good rapport with little Wiley (Viron Weaver).
However, recent episode of Thursday, June 18, 2026, saw Jacinda summon Councilman Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) to meet her at his room. Surprisingly, instead of Jacinda, mobster Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) met Ezra in the room.
This hints at Jacinda’s secret connection with Sidwell which has remained hidden so far. With this amazing process of keeping secrets while planting herself in the Quartermaine household and close to the Corinthos will make Jacinda more dangerous than anticipated.
