The harrowing storyline currently playing out on General Hospital sees Kristina getting beaten up severely by her boyfriend, Kiefer. It brings the realities of domestic violence crashing into the usual soap storylines.
But our favorite shows are no strangers to seriously messed-up boyfriend situations. From abusers to addicts, murderers to philanderers, some of the women we love have gotten stuck with some real sketchy characters.
We've gathered up a handful or two of the most notable bad boyfriends on our favorite shows. Feel free to jeer at them as you click through the gallery.
And post who you think we left out in the comments!

I don't know why Cristina have to lie?
I can see why Cristina would lie, look at her mom and dad's family....... I think this is a good story. I just hope the truth comes out before Sunny does something will will live to regreat..... Sonny in so many ways is a dummy.....
I think that GH is dragging the situation out with kristina and Eathon, and believe that the truth should come out about Eathon and Keifer recieve the punishment that he deserves. By the show letting Keifer getting away with the abuse, teenagers watching this show need a good example of the situation.
GH shouldn't drag out this storyline like the murder of clauda. Have Kristina tell the truth and keifer should be punished.
I've been watching GH since i was in 2nd grade and i'm 36 now and i really hope they read these comments from their loyal fans.
Can you tell me if GH even read these comments, are are we wasting our time commenting on their storyline about Kristina lying about a good person like Ethan.
I honestly can't stand when Alexis is nice to Kiefer. If she only knew who really beat up her daughter. Not to mention Sonny who would get rid of Kiefer in a second. I've got to say that the cast has handled this subject really well. It's very realistic and draws you in. I can't wait for the day that it comes out who really beat Kristina. Kiefer doesn't stand a chance.
I agree I thinkit is somewhat realistic but if the point of his is to show that you should stand up for yourself and put an end to the abuse how is this helping? I think kristina needs to step up and tell the truth. This is one storyline that I was very disappointed in as well even though I saw it coming from a mile away. And I agree about sam so sick of her trying to be mini-jason!!
I wish Ryan Lavery would get the hell out of AMC. He stinks, as does the pathetic Erica Kane. Maybe the 2 of them should run away together. Ryan is always after somebody. It's pretty sickening to hear him always call Annie "crazy" and now he's after David. I wish David would get him but good.
Also, whatever happened to obeying the law. Jessie broke the law by covering up the murder of his daughter-in-law's ex-lover - but nothing ever happened to him.
I love the Young and the Restless and just hope that Ryder and Daisy get caught and Janna is freed. Sick of this storyline already. The writer who said that Nicki should stop her "whispering" is so right. What's with her voice? It's way too phoney.
I love, love, love General Hospital - Sonny, Dante, Olivia, Ethan. I hope Keifer gets caught and that Ethan is cleared. Who does Sam think she is going off on him like that? She had an inkling about Keifer, but still chooses to go after Ethan - even after Jason has a few doubts. Wake up Sam and shut your big mouth.
I've been a huge fan of G.H for along time, and this story line with Christina is making me mad. I like Ethan and Christina is a spoiled rich brat, she needs to own up i don't like christina at all on G.H they make her look like one of those girls do anything to get the older nice guys that give those girls attention. She such a slut oh my god.... hello! keifer this is all his fault he needs to be killed for what he did to christina, stupid stupid stupid! girl always protect there loving boyfriends who beat them like there nothing. I hate that clair women she getting on my nerves watch when she losses hah...Danta and Lulu eh, get over it...what's going on with Michael love life? is he ever gonna get a girlfriend or what!!!! p.s Sam Alexis and Sonny needs to get the blind folds off and realize who doing who here?!?!? I would love to see Sonny get all romantic again i like carly and olivia but maybe sonny will end up with olivia. I hate JAX he needs to leave the show!!!!! poor ethan and lucky:( always the nice guys always the ones getting hurt.....why???
About the Kristine/Ethan/Keifer abuse s/l on GH....
I may be in the minority here, but I think the story thus far is very realistic... Sad, scary, but realistic..
Victims of abuse tend to protect their abusers...especially younger girls, but also adults...
It's normal and realistic to see Kristina doing this.... I hope this changes and I truly hope that GH, unlike AMC will address the abuse issue in a realistic, positive way..
AMC's resident abuser Ryan Lavery is hailed a hero and his abuse is called heroic & romantic...
Allow the s/l to play out... . Kristina coming to terms with what Keifer is.....and admitting to all the Ethan didn't do it..
Alexis thinks Keifer is a good guy because he comes from a good family, etc..... Good guys, from good families abuse..
Kristina is a messed up girl.....She's a victim of abuse....and if written properly, this could be a great story for victims & victims rights....and to get people to understand how serious this issue is...
I have very little faith in Guza, but so far for me, as a survivor of abuse they are dead on.......
