Would this show even survive if they removed Sonnys world now.

I know alot have talked about the mob element being bad but lets really break down what would be left of the show if it was removed.

Sidwell essentially hes here for Sonny to try to take control of his piers etc yeah he has some other storylines but this is the main reason hes in pc right now.

The hospital itself is a shell now you see conversations at the receptionist desk and convos at the elevators and rarely sometimes in Portias office. Used once really in the last 2 months for a ST Neds heart attack very brief showed no visitors you only knew it happens because they told you.

So what's left you have Drew and Willow storylines yuck. Storylines about Trina and her parents. A WSB/Spy evil genius plot that is taking forever. Is Carly enough to keep things going without Sonny and Jason.

If they would bring back a solid Cassadine storyline in place this could work or build back up the qs but right now be a pretty bare bones show.

Laura as Mayor was pretty boring tell Dalton got involved.

Shows too top heavy now.
