Bad Boys
by Mandy
Port Charles is home to many. Of course, there are certain groups that seem more drawn to the city and bad boys are one of them! When I say "Bad Boy" one conjures up a certain image - usually a handsome man who possesses an edge and is swooned over by females. Well, all the men in this category fit the bill. But they also prove that within the Bad Boy group, there are different types.
The
Smooth Operator - Lorenzo Alcazar is a charmer. A well educated and well
spoken man, many people underestimate this man's lethal abilities. It is
almost as if he has created a front - meet Lorenzo Alcazar, the
gentleman. Cross him and you'll never see him coming. He also sports
something few bad boys seem to possess - a big heart. Since his
brother's supposed death, Lorenzo has cared for his niece Sage. He also
has recently discovered that he has a son. No doubt, he will quickly
wipe out anyone who hurts them. With his caring nature, it is easy to be
fooled by Lorenzo...which may be how he wants it.
The
Chessmaster - No, this title does not refer to Luis Alcazar's favorite
game...it refers to the fact that he likes to play games. Although he
may not have the calm cool demeanor of his younger brother, Lorenzo,
Luis is still a dangerous man. He often feels little or no remorse for
his actions - the perfect trait for a bad boy. He takes what he wants
and refuses to apologize. He also does not forgive those who have done
him wrong. So, one would imagine he is very very "upset" with Alexis
Davis, the woman who sent him flying off a balcony, nearly ending his
life. Luis' one downfall - he lets his emotions over cloud his judgment.
His relationship with Brenda lead to him becoming reckless and getting
himself hurt. Now Allyson Meyers has caught his eye leading one to
wonder if he can handle a relationship and maintain his badass side as
well.
The
Con Man - Caleb Turner represents your typical Southern gentleman with a
side of jackass thrown in. He says what is on his mind and he tends to
find ways to get under other people's skin. He also has a perchance for
talking his way into other people's money. Why? Perhaps this is the only
way a man like Caleb feels he can survive. Coming from a single parent
home and often left to entertain himself, Caleb has become adept at
pretending to be someone he is not. And this is the only talent he feels
he has. Why not use it to make himself a few dollars? Of course, a con
artist's work is never done. He tends to spend money as fast as he can
pull it in. Let's hope he hits the mother load before the police catch
up to him.
The
Black Sheep - Perhaps it's best to refer to AJ Quartermaine as Junior in
this instance. Although AJ has proven that he isn't exactly a candidate
for sainthood, he is a puppy compared to Junior. For anyone wondering
who the heck I am talking out, Junior is an alternate personality of AJ.
After years of abuse and losing both to his family and others, AJ
finally snapped, literally. His mind created "Junior", a man who will
take anything and everything he feels he (and AJ) deserve. Case in
point: Junior's first action in Port Charles was to kidnap AJ's
biological son, Michael. The problem with a man like Junior is that he
is unstable...which makes him a very dangerous man to be around.
The
Man with Something to Prove -
Carlos Vargos is a newcomer to Port
Charles - another bad boy attracted by all the city has to offer. He is
a also a man looking to show everyone he is the the best there is.
Hailing from Mexico, the son of an African American and a Mexican, he
often felt like he didn't fit him. He turned that around on everyone b
manipulating, and killing his way to the top of the Mexican underworld.
Now he is ready to take on the rest of the continent. He is a man who
takes no for an answer, and he is supported by his equally manipulative
and deadly wife, Marisol. He is definitely looking to show up the rest
of Port Charles. Whether or not he is successful or not depends on the
other bad boys' ability to share!
The Bad Seed - Javier Vargos has earned the title bad boy without even trying. Because he is the son of mobsters Carlos and Marisol Vargos everyone assumes that he is just as ruthless and nasty as they are. Well...that's not exactly true. Javier wants to distance himself from the lifestyle his parents have created. He doesn't want to fall into that rut. However, sometimes you just can't hide from fate. He was with his father when a gunfight broke out. Javier was forced to fire his weapon, killing a man and sealing his bad boy image.
So can all this different varieties of Bad Boy coexist in Port Charles? Well, only time will tell!
