General Hospital fans give their verdict on the mob’s future

The majority of the votes went to fans wanting the mob story to be in the background and not on center stage.
29.5% of fans wanted the makers to put an end to the mob stories for good as they have savored those storylines enough in the past. 27.86% of fans don’t want the mob stories to disappear entirely but pop in for a limited time. For example, bringing back certain interesting mob characters like Johnny Zacchara or Julian Jerome to cause some trouble and make the storyline interesting. 10.84% of voters believe that these storylines shouldn’t go away and should remain a central part of the show.
