GENERAL HOSPITAL: Carly Admits To Sonny She Was Falling Back In Love with Jason
On Friday’s episode of General Hospital, Carly (Laura Wright) and Sonny (Maurice Benard) finally had the “talk”. You know, the one about what Sonny really walked in on the night he “returned from the dead” on Carly and Jason’s (Steve Burton) wedding night? Yeah, that one.
Sonny has already had a conversation with Jason, where Jason admitted he was starting to fall again for Carly, even though they were originally getting married to show a united front for the five families.
Now coming to confront Carly, Sonny is at first greeted by her with “Mike’s” cowboy hat, where she says the man he was in Nixon Falls is a mystery to her. Sonny tells her he spoke with Jason and so Carly is compelled to admit that she and Jason would have slept together on their wedding night, if Sonny hadn’t shown up alive and in the bedroom!
Sonny’s clearly upset about his best friend and his wife getting so close and rekindling their old feelings. Carly tells Sonny that, at first, Jason and she were just going through with the wedding for show, but later, they decided to make it a real marriage, and were falling in love.
When Sonny poses the question to Carly, if she has any residual feelings for Jason, she says they have gone back to being best friends, and how much she loves Sonny. Carly points out that Nina (Cynthia Watros) did this to them – she kept them apart for nine months – and so much has happened that it’s been difficult for them to be together as it was in the past because of it.
In the end, despite what Nina had perpetrated on them, Carly and Sonny come to an agreement that they need to rebuild their relationship. But the cowboy hat looms as we fade to black.
Clearly, the Jason and Carly relationship and almost consummating it on their wedding night, is not sitting well with Sonny; plus Sonny seems to continue to not really tear into Nina for her deception as much as someone would if he didn’t also have feelings for her.
So, what do you hope happens next? Do you want Sonny and Carly to work things out? Do you hope Sonny sleeps with Nina? If he does, and Jason goes back to Britt (now that they are going on another adventure together to locate Liesl) is Carly ultimately the odd woman out? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below.
The story doesn’t work for me because of how much Sonny is overlooking the type of woman Nina was before Nixon Falls what she did to Ava regarding his daughter Avery, etc Sonny the family man should never want to be with a woman that kept him knowingly from his kids & Carly. Carly & Jason tried to talk themselves into being in love. Jason & Britt have tons of chemistry & I hope Carly/Sonny fall even more in love causing delusional Nina to finally go over the edge.
I can answer all these questions with a firm “I don’t care.” Yeah, I’d like Britt to get a break in the romance dept., but she deserves better than to play second fiddle to Queen Carly. And no, I don’t want Sonny or Mike to hookup with Nina either. This story is like a desiccated orange.. all the life was drained out months ago.
I want Jarly. They have been endgame since 1999. But if they do a Brittstop on the way to Jarly, I’ll just cross my fingers for an immediate death to Carson. Carly should drop the Corinthos name and start a Spencer revival. Go into business with Ms. Wu :):)
Carly confessing is the direction the story is going to have Sonny and Nina doing the nasty, finally.
I liked Nina and Sonny/Mike it was a breath of fresh air.
Carly and Sonny had worn out long ago. yawn–
About time for a great shake-up..
But the end game will be Sonny and Carly, no doubt about that happening, sigh..
* Out with the old in with the new.*
it’s desperately needed for my viewing pleasure ..
I don’t know how it will work out but I really don’t want to see Nina and Carly in an actual fight over this Napoleonesque man. I like Sonny, but God’s gift to women, he’s not. If I was forced at gunpoint to pick he or Mike, it would be Mike and the ladies that agree will know why.
Sorry if I didn’t use the word Napoleonesque correctly, so feel free to let me know.
Violet…I don’t know if you used the word right but I’m for team Mike. But let’s wait and see how “Mike” actually changes Sonny, who was never God’s gift to me. But as long as he is a mobster I want Nina to stay away from him. Don’t want her to try to “fix” him.
rose,
I do understand what you are saying, but let’s face it, Sonny is not going anywhere and I do believe he and Nina will see more of each other and he will most likely feel more like Mike when he is with her. Who knows, eventually he may just like it better being Mike and quit the mob altogether.
My theory about the whole “Mike” thing is that Sonny didn’t know who he was, but subconsciously, he was playing his own father.
The name “Mike” is an obvious clue, of course. But he was also happy being a bartender…. as the real Mike was most of his life in Port Charles. And when Lenny & Phyllis were in financial jeopardy, “Mike’s” first impulse was “hey, where’s a card game, I’ll get you the money”. Gambling, was the real Mike’s favorite past time, of course. Though he wasn’t always successful at it.
Of course, Sonny had some of his own instincts intact, even without his identity. Like when he knew instantly that Elijah guy was a scumbag criminal. Or when he had reactions to meeting Jax or Whiny Heiny, even though he didn’t consciously remember them. At least this is consistent with past GH writing, like when Jason occasionally relies on the med school training he had before AJ scrambled his brains, and he can do an emergency tracheotomy or deliver a baby by C-section in an elevator.
Violet, Rose, I don’t know how long you’ve been watching the show; Sonny’s handsome now, but back in the day, he was FINE! And “Mike” was always a part of Sonny, it’s just with years of terrible writers we didn’t see him very often. But the “Mike” part of Sonny was the romantic that made good women like Brenda, Alexis, Connie/Kate and Olivia fall for him and the loving, generous, heartfelt “Mike” is why good girl Robin will always love and be loyal to Sonny. “Mike” is the one that took a kid of the street, gave him a home and a legit job, then supported him when he became HIV+ and paid for all his bills when he was diagnosed with AIDS. Mike’s the Sonny that kept his promise to Stone to look after Robin; he’s the one that dedicated and funds the Stone Cates AIDS Research center at GH. “Mike” is just that part of Sonny the writers have ignored for over a decade! But now that Sonny’s whole, he shouldn’t act any different, really. Whatever he shared with Nina for 9 months, should not compare to what he an Carly have shared (even when involved with others) for almost thirty years. And I can’t see chemistry with Nina, especially since she’s NUTS!
I can understand Nina being upset that Jax and Carly didn’t tell her about Nellle. But what did that knowledge change for Nina? Nothing. No one knew until after Nelle was dead, but Nina’s acting as if Carly’s the one that took her from Nina in the first place and not her mother. She’s upset because she thinks Carly let Nelle die, totally ignoring that Carly would have had every right to do so since about 5 minutes before Nelle fell, she was trying to kill Carly! Nina should be glad that Carly actually tried to pull Nelle up, I’d a let that bitch fall! And the excuse that she tried to tell Carly but Carly started yelling and telling her that she’s not going to let her see Wiley, so Nina got mad and decided to say nothing about Sonny being alive is, again, Nina seeing herself as innocent victim. She forgot that there was a very good reason Carly was so pissed off, because Nina went and told a 2 year old that the only mother he remembers, Willow, was NOT his mother and he got very upset! A normal person wouldn’t have done that. All she had to say was that she was his grandmother, he’s two, explanations aren’t necessary at this time! But, no, she tried to explain about Nelle (the “daughter” that, in reality, tried to kill his father, his grandmother, and his mother, Willow) as though Nelle was just a misguided youth and not a scheming psychopath!
This is just a wonderfully acted, terrible storyline, one of far too many over the years. If they wanted to give Sonny amnesia, let him forget his history with Carly and let he and Olivia get together. Much more drama because of their personal history, her friendship with Carly, and his history with the Q’s. But instead, as usual, boring won out.
I forgot to say that I really couldn’t believe Carly today when she told Sonny how long and hard they searched for him. For what, all of a week maybe,?
I was glad Carly and Jason admitted where their feelings were taking them on their wedding night to Sonny in record time for a soap instead of dragging this part of the story out. I want Jason with Brit. Not sure about Sonny and Nina because I think it has to be Mike to make them work. But I think there is still room for some kind of relationship. As for Sonny and Carly, they might stay together, but they will never be the same. And as Diana said, “there was always three in our marriage.”
This is definitely NOT the most interesting storyline on GH right now.
With the Drew and Liesl abductions, they’ve somehow snuck in a compelling umbrella storyline that involves at least a dozen characters. This should be the lead story right now. Cameron Mathison (and his abs) are a welcome edition as Drew.
The end of the stalker storyline is also more interesting. Maura West has helped elevate Nicholas Chavez’s performance. Mark Teschner (as usual) did a great job casting Spencer and Esme.
Time to move along the Portia/Curtis and Brando/Sasha stories. Although they come across nicely as a couple, Brando and Sasha could leave town without a mention and the show could seamlessly continue.
The new Spenser is a find, for sure but I still cannot feel comfortable with NuNick. Esme is fantastic. This actress owns every scene she is in! Personally, I think she is Ryan’s daughter.
Definitely Ryan’s daughter. Now they just have to make a plausible case for who her mother would be. I’m guessing Alex Devane. Since both she and Ryan once worked for the “DVX” (the GH version of the KGB) they probably knew each other. Esme could easily pass as Finola Hughes’ daughter.
Unfortunately this would also make her Whiny Heiny’s half-sister, and the last thing that idiot needs is more family ties.
I think Peter pecked his final pepper!
Timmm
I think Peter packed his peppers, not pecked, but your version is funnier.
Steve
I wouldn’t miss them either, but they better take that horrible Gladys with them. I’d never leave her alone with my baby , grandmother or not.
Gladys should have been in the Limo when it went bye bye!
I’d like to see Gladys and Carly trapped in a limo for an hour with Gladys constantly getting on Carly’s nerves. That’s the only reason to keep the character on.
Love or hate her, Bonnie Burroughs as Gladys definitely has presence.
The same people like Sonny , I like Gladys.
I want Sonny and Carly to work things out! Simply that! I realize there are people who dislike them, but they are by far my favorite couple on the show.
I am glad that they’re your favorite couple.
I loved how honest Carly and Jason were with Sonny about their feelings and their intentions. This rarely happens on a soap. What was really cool is the stories were told separately and they matched. These three are close and anything other than being honest to each other wouldn’t have jived with who these three are. Its a soap and Nina is also included in this variable so something bad is bound to happen. I just want Jason to be with Britt. Sonny and Carly will always find their way back to each other.
I love this story! I think they are playing all the beats and mining it for all it’s worth instead of “Oh, Sonny’s back. Now we can return to normal.” No you can’t. Normal was shot to pieces when Nina kept her secret all those months ago. There’s nine months of story for these characters to process. That doesn’t disappear in two days. I think everyone is doing a great job playing the fall out. And as a bonus, I’m so happy Phyllis is in PC. Hope she stays.
I do and have always loved Olivia. I’ve never seen her turn away from a problem or compound one as she has been lately. First with Ned who has been bending over backwards to make amends for his indescretion with Alex. I understand why she doesn’t want to accept the idea that her child could be Autistic, but she has to be blind to not see that her son has a problem. She is such a smart and insightful woman, but I want to just shake her. Also, why hasn’t Monica noticed anything strange about Theo, especially in contrast to the three other older kids living there, not including Wylie and the baby. I understand why she doesn’t want to believe Austin but Monica would be different. Also beside the other adults living there, why hasn’t Willow noticed this kid, she’s a teacher for goodness sake.

Now, on a mutually shared Instagram post, Jon and Cady made an official statement on the status of their relationship, beginning with “Cady and Jon here. We are taking this opportunity to make a short statement about our relationship status. It may be obvious to some based on our posts that we’ve taken some time apart. After serious consideration we have decided that our goals have been taking us in different directions and to end our marriage.”

As to the future, Jon and Cady explained, “We remain friends and wish each other every happiness. As people who work in the public eye, it can be difficult to have a private life. Regardless, we ask for your kind consideration in this matter.”
Jon and Cady met when they both appeared on As the World Turns, he as Craig Montgomery, and she as Rosanna Cabot. After four years together, the couple decided to get married in 2014.

Adam Huss Makes Another Return to General Hospital as Nikolas Cassadine
Nikolas Cassadine will be back on your screens next week but now via Pentonville. That means, that actor Adam Huss is back for a visit for all-new episodes of General Hospital.
In story, Ava (Maura West) comes to visit her ex in the slammer. So, just what does Ava want now? She clearly has been working an agenda on Sonny (Maurice Benard). Is she working with Valentin (James Patrick Stuart)? What will she tell Nikiolas? stay tuned.
Meanwhile, once news of Huss’ return broke earlier on Friday via Soap Opera Digest, he also announced his return on his Instagram expressing, “For all those who’ve been asking, cat’s out of the bag;) Thank you to all my #Nikolas #GH fans for your unwavering support. I don’t take it for granted for a second! (Even when I can’t answer 😊) #generalhospital”

Huss took over the role of Nikolas back in January of 2023, after Marcus Coloma left the soap opera. Previous to that, Huss filed in for Coloma in September of 2021 and November of 2022. Fast-forward to January of 2024, Nikolas gave Ace to Laura and Kevin to raise, while he eventually turned himself into the police for kidnapping Esme and keeping her hostage while she was pregnant and Wyndemere.

The return of Huss comes on the heels of multiple reports that his on-screen son, Nicholas Chavez is not returning to the show as Spencer Cassadine, while in story Spencer is believed to have drowned int the Seine River after falling off a boat in France, when drugged by Esme.
So, looking forward to seeing Adam Huss back as Nikolas? Do you think GH will eventually have him more full-time? Comment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny and Jason Trade Threats on Each Other
The love affair that once was mobster Sonny (Maurice Benard) and hit man Jason (Steve Burton), and having each others back, is now apparently over! On the Thursday April 25th episode of General Hospital, an increasingly paranoid Sonny is confronted by Jason.
Jason wants to talk to Sonny about a “family matter”, but Sonny says they aren’t family now because he’s working with the Feds. Sonny goes on to say how he cannot trust Carly (Laura Wright) or Jason and he knows about Jason buying back the Metro Court for Carly from Nina (Cynthia Watros).
When the conversation turns to Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Dex (Evan Hofer), Jason informs Sonny that Kristina (Kate Mansi) knows Sonny ordered a hit. Jason is worried about Dex’s safety. He tells Sonny that if he does something to Dex, Kristina will figure out that he is responsible.

Sonny goes on to say how much he loves his kids and how he will protect them. He then tears into Jason for abandoning his sons, Danny and Jake, for two years and how he has no right to stand there to tell him what to do.
Jason warns Sonny again to leave Dex alone or he’ll personally stop him. Sonny snaps at Jason, countering, “You’ll die trying!” And at that point, Jason walks out and Sonny slams the door behind him.
What do you think about this split in the longstanding relationship of Jason and Sonny? Do you like Jason and Sonny at odds? Will Kristina be the person to ultimately figure out what is happening to Sonny, or it might it be Nina, who knows Ava (Maura West) is up to no good? Share your thoughts in the comment section, but first watch this clip from part of the Sonny/Jason scenes below.
