Plenty of changes are taking place on the show, and adjacent to the daytime drama. For example, as recently as January there are new writers switching things up.
General Hospital has been on the air for 62 years and weathered many obstacles. Now fans are asking what is going on with the front burner, core character of Sonny Corinthos?
Is Sonny Exiting GH?
We rarely see Sonny vulnerable, and when we do it usually has something to do with his kids. At this time, Sonny is in a health battle, with his heart giving him issues. Sonny was shot in the chest years ago and the effects of that event are causing problems in the present day.
Fans have seen him struggle to breath on occasion and he has a medical procedure scheduled to help his heart work more effectively.
Will Sonny Survive?
Stress is exacerbating his condition, and his doctor wants him to avoid extra pressure which is not easy when one is a mob boss! Sonny’s mob role has always impacted his safety but right now he is in dire straits given how frequently he is experiencing serious symptoms.
Pushing his stress level even more is the current fight for his waterfront territory. Even Mayor Laura Collins (Genie Francis) is having adjacent heartburn on this issue due to her friendship with Sonny.
Is GH Preparing For Sonny’s Departure?
The WSB is taking over Port Charles in a big way. The head of the bureau, Jack Brennen (Chris McKenna), is dating Sonny’s ex and has recruited his former stepdaughter into the organization.
With the WSB in town, things are bound to get tense for Sonny. The perfect example of this is that his penthouse was bombed with a connection back to the WSB.
Clearly Sonny and his family are not safe. The bomb maimed Sonny’s son Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and Sonny’s custody battle with Ava Jerome (Maura West) over custody of their daughter is also eroding his health.
Will Sonny decide that mobbing at his age just isn’t worth it to him and his family? It sure looks like the show is going in that direction, with people now telling Sonny to consider leaving the mob behind for his health’s sake.
Tell us what you think GH fans, do you think that Sonny’s days in PC are numbered?
