SPOILED ROTTEN: 10 of Daytime's Best Loved Poor Little Rich Boys!
(No. 8) Michael Corinthos III, General Hospital
Michael Corinthos III (Chad Duell) has the misfortune of hailing from not one, but two loaded clans. His adopted father is mob kingpin Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and his bio pop was perennially drunken, trustafarian AJ Quartermaine (Billy Warlock). Sure, that means potentially two inheritances to look forward to, but also double the dysfunction!
While Michael’s boyhood was filled with experiences like having a bomb explode at his party (courtesy of adopted dad’s business) and being kidnapped to a tropical isle, while everyone believed him dead (Thanks, bio dad!), things didn’t start to really go bad for this poor little rich boy until a botched Zacchara hit resulted in Mikey getting a cap busted in his head! Ever the trooper, Michael got past all of that, only to end up killing his stepmom—to save his mother and baby sister— and ending up in prison, where he was promptly raped.
Michael, now a young man trying to help poor little rich girl Starr Manning (Kristen Alderson), still pledges blind loyalty to Sonny, but I bet deep down he has to wonder if those Thanksgiving pizza dinners he's heard about over at the Q manse would be a lot easier to stomach, than the life of a mob prince.

I do agree that Sami could have been the next Erica Kane and I could still see that happening the writers seem to be makeing Sami more selfish and selfabsorbed like she used to be.
But Sami's selfishness is not what gave her fans. That is not what makes her Sami.
It was her independant nature. Her get into trouble, I'll get out of trouble attitute. She used to be quick to anger and slow to forgiveness. She used to feel like she could mess with her family, but anyone else mess with would face her wrath.
But this Sami just gets handed jobs and apartments she doesn't deserve. This Sami is not sure of anything. She is fickle with men and life in general. She is backing EJ and Stephano when they have tried to destroy her and her family time and time again. Who knew she was so forgiving.
Sami has been ruined in the last several years and part of that happened when EJ came along and yes, they decided to make her his constant victim.
Two of the show's strongest bitches (Nicole and Sami) are wimps when they put them with EJ, a character whose bad deeds are erased with each new story. But what do I expect? They did the same thing with Kate and Stephano.

Overexposure kills any character and that includes Sami and EJ. I don't think James Scott is a great or even good actor but he's got what most of daytime lacks in male leads and even females. Charm, presence, and charisma. And as much as I dislike Victor, Braden still has charisma and presence. Id trade these 2 over any of the untalented lackluster wash up males on GH. I don't think putting EJ on 5'days a week is any better than Sami being on 5 days a week but what he suffers from most is inconsistent writing. This regime being the worse.

How about Y&R's Jack Abbott? How about OLTL's Todd Manning whose father mistreated him because he's not his biological son, who would then rape Marty Saybrooke and would later learn his real father is Asa Buchanan? How about Stefano Dimera's sons Tony and Peter Blake? How about Ross Chandler who was caught between the feud of his uncle Adam Chandler and father Palmer Cortland?
