Even though there are other couples in the daytime television landscape that are difficult to stomach, it doesn't take away from the issues surrounding Michael Cortinthos and Willow Tait. Something needs to change. "General Hospital," in its current state, largely centered around their relationship can't go on. Unwatchable is a harsh term to use, but it's reaching a boiling point of apathy in regard to viewing.

Willow's "battle" with leukemia was insulting to people who have gone through arduous wars with cancer. It has been an entirely unrealistic portrayal at every turn, and the writers have proven unwilling to listen to the backlash and shift gears. "GH" shouldn't have people hoping for their character with cancer to be killed off, but that speaks volumes to the jumbled mess they've made with Willow.

Beyond the real-life implications, the characters themselves are equally maddening to endure each weekday. They both withhold secrets from each other but portray a holier-than-thou attitude toward everyone they encounter. It's as if Michael and Willow bathed in a sea of hypocrisy and can't stop drowning in their own self-righteousness.

Time is up for Michael and Willow. Suggesting some sort of conflict to come between them wouldn't even accomplish much because the powers that be find a way to push them through it. They are a weak couple. The weakest of the weak. End their exhausting marriage, and save a show that used to be great.
