General Hospital has been one of the longest-running American soap operas, with its first episode premiering in 1963. It showcases the fictional town of Port Charles and is built on themes like family drama, betrayal, and crime, among others. Femme fatales, the "bad girls" from the show, play a crucial role in carving the world the show aims to portray, shaping drama and suspense.
Femme fatales are seen using their charms to get into fiery love affairs and then betraying partners, like Carly Corinthos and Ava Jerome did in the show. The conspiracies and manipulation of their character add to the plot, like Helena Cassadine, who is known for her mastermind sinister plots. Let's dive deep into five bad girls from General Hospital.
Femme Fatales: Here are the top 5 Bad Girls from General Hospital
Ava Jerome
She is a gray character who suffers the consequences of her actions and appears as a victim, but she is also the one involved in everything from art forgery to murder. Ava doesn't budge to hurt others' feelings, but she also falls for genuine emotions, making the fans resonate more with her character.
She is not purely a villain, but is shown as someone who can have dangerous thoughts that serve her benefit.
Ava shares an on-and-off romantic relationship with Morgan, and she grows jealous when Morgan starts to connect with Kiki Jerome, her daughter. To control Morgan, Ava switches his lithium pills with placebos, causing his mental health to spiral out of control.
Helena Cassadine
She is the most ruthless one who didn't hesitate to betray her family. Lucky, the son of Luke and Laura Spencer, was presumed dead in a fire. Later, it was revealed that Helena had manipulated him to go against his family.
Liesl Obrecht
Liesl is the most mysterious, she possesses many secrets. She backstabs people and works only for the sake of personal profit. She was involved in kidnapping Robin Scorpio in 2013 and keeping him in a medical facility, working on experimental formulae.
Carly Corinthos
Over the years in the show, Carly has been a hero and an anti-hero as well. Therefore, she is not a full-fledged villain but has a history of manipulating people for her benefit. One of Carly Corinthos’ worst moments on General Hospital was when she cheated with Sonny Corinthos while married to AJ Quartermaine in the early 2000s.
Britt Westbourne
She started as an unethical doctor and was named "the Britch." She was desperate to keep Patrick Drake in her life. The separation goes to the extent that to turn her lie into truth, she steals Lulu Spencer and Dante Falconeri's embryos and implants them in herself.
She later gave birth to their child and allowed Lulu and Dante to connect with him. For a long time, she keeps the fact that he is actually their biological child.
Lucy Coe is another on the list who is said to have no heart or feelings, which makes her dangerous in General Hospital. The character is portrayed by Lynn Herring and contributes to a murder plot by being an alibi. She turns from an ordinary librarian to a fabricator.
Catch the show only on ABC.com, Prime Video, and Hulu.
