General Hospital fans debate if Michael was right to push Willow away
Fans took to social media to share their thoughts on how Michael treated Willow while she was crying and begging to see her kids.
Many fans believed that Michael was right on his end, given that the kids didn’t deserve to see their mother in such a devastated condition, as they would have gotten scared. Defending Michael’s actions, some also clarified that he didn’t yell at Willow, but rather maintained a firm stance that she could not see the kids. When she didn’t listen to him, that’s when he had no option but to threaten her to be escorted out of the property.
One user wrote, “I don’t think he was cruel but really trying to protect Wiley from seeing his mother in such a state & to make Willow get some help.”
Other fans think that Willow deserved this treatment due to her past actions. They want Willow to get some help as she has been troubled ever since she lost custody. Her unstable condition might not create a good impression on kids. While some fans saw Michael’s behavior as an attempt to protect the kids, many others viewed it as cruel. They mentioned that Willow was already crying and devastated, but Michael did nothing to help her. Instead, he yelled at her and treated her poorly. They found it disheartening to see Willow cry at the window.
One user wrote, “Michael disappointed me a bit , I always like that he’s been companionate. He could have taken her somewhere and talked to her . Wiley did not see her in that state , but he should let her see them . He is driving her right back to Drew . She’ll go back to him not out of love but to get her kids back!”
Though fans understood why Michael treated her that way, they still wanted him to be a bit kind, considering Willow’s condition. They believed he could have taken her somewhere and calmed her down.
