General Hospital Comings And Goings – Was Cyrus Renault Written Into A Corner?
Cyrus headed back to prison on Wednesday, but we thought he would go to Pentonville where half of Port Charles now lives. Instead, he went to federal prison and it looks like he’s not going to break out any time soon because Kober is off the soap.
It seemed there wasn’t anything horrible left for Cyrus to do. After all, he just held his own sister at gunpoint and shot an unarmed Curtis straight in the chest for no reason. Sure, characters have come back from worse, and we still expect Peter (Wes Ramsey) to pop back up any day now, but Cyrus seemed to have nowhere left to go story-wise.
However, he didn’t leave without a parting gift, planting the seed in Finn’s (Michael Easton) mind that maybe he wasn’t Chase’s (Josh Swickard) father after all. Will anyone ever figure out it was Cyrus who doctored the original DNA tests, to begin with?
GH Comings And Goings – Could Cyrus Have Worked As A Character
AMP in the post
Cyrus Renault and Kober were brought onto the soap so that Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) could have a new mob enemy, but that entire story went off course when GH decided that Sonny should have amnesia, don a plaid shirt, and become a bartender, a la Julian Jerome (William DeVry). Except Sonny is doing this in Pennsylvania and calling himself Mike.
We thought we’d get to understand Cyrus better when he was inexplicably turned into Laura’s (Genie Francis) half-brother, but all he did was whine about his mother not liking him. He had no redeeming qualities and apparently shooting Curtis was the last straw for this story. The show didn’t even establish his sibling relationship with Martin (Michael E. Knight) well.
Even Carly (Laura Wright) managed to win the mob war by donning a white dress and showing up at the warehouse for the Meeting of the Five Families. With nothing left to do with Cyrus, he is off to federal prison and Kober is out of Port Charles. Stay tuned to General Hospital weekdays to see if Cyrus Renault ever shows his face and ponytail again.
Tired of Carly trying to be mob boss, can’t even take care of family
So we need a new villain, all of the great ones are gone
Cyrus was such a good villain. Much prefered Cyrus over Peter. The writers missed the boat re Cyrus. They are also off track with Nina and Mike. Come on writers, regroup and give GH fans some interesting stories to follow.
Cyrus will be back..Where do you think the new 'shipment" went..
Cyrus just needed some therapy with his BIL Kevin. It's not too late.
So glad this is over.
No way no Carly and Jason!
There is so much they could have done with Cyrus.
He and Sonny would be a fun battle to watch.
GH “heads” blew a great possibility.
Now the man is nominated for an Emmy!
Sweet irony would be he wins but they shuttled him out of there.
Jeff Kober is such a terrific actor. I’ll miss him.
I have no doubt Cyrus will be back. Why would they bother to create all these "ties" to PC if he was going away for good. Plus, he's a good actor that made you really dislike him. The writers will find a way to bring him back.
Jeff Kober did a great job making us hate Cyrus! I'm glad the ladies kicked his butt!
When Carly showed up at the 5 family meeting, she SHOWED up. I’m not her biggest fan but boy she had some b_lls that day. I was like Damn!!! She showed she was in charge!!
I hate to see Cyrus go he could have always stirred up some trouble he could always fit in I love Wes to they are such great actors they play they part so good I’m their number one fan and will continue to shout out for them
Love cyrus
So Glad CYRUS Is In FEDERAL
PRISON Where He Belongs &
Where PETER SHOULD BE
