GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny Contemplates Ending His Life as ‘Morgan’ Shows Up to Try and Save Him
Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Bernard) has gotten an earful of late for all the trouble he has brought to the lives of his children. As the week began Molly (Kristen Vaganos) laid into Sonny for being the root cause of why Kristina (Kate Mansi) went to see Ava Jerome (Maura West) in the first place, and in turn, lost her baby in a fall and is in critical condition.
Those words burned deep to Sonny, who did not react in any confrontational way, but was rocked to his core and just slinked away from his family and disappeared. Now on Tuesday’s August 8th episode of the ABC daytime drama, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), Jason (Steve Burton), Carly (Laura Wright) and others become more concerned that they haven’t see Sonny in awhile with his daughter in dire straits in the hospital.
That’s because Sonny has gone up to the hospital rooftop and is a step away from jumping and ending his own life. As all the voices swirl in his head of what Dante, Michael, Kristina and Molly said about how him as a father, he sees the vision of his late son, Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig), right beside him on the ledge.

Sonny tells Morgan he’s been a disaster to all his kids, especially him. He says he brings nothing but pain and destruction to everyone. Sonny says he always tried to hide the darkness. But now, he is tired of being somebody else. Sonny says he failed as a father, and his kids are all scared of him, but Morgan is there and firmly disagrees.
Morgan says that’s not true, that his kids are not scared of him and they will always come back to be by his side. Sonny brings up Kristina and if she just stayed away from him like she had wanted, the baby she was carrying would still be alive.
Things get very emotional when Sonny says it is all his fault that Morgan is dead and how can Morgan say otherwise? Sonny in his sadness and despair knows his son is here with him right now to tell him to do the right thing, which in Sonny’s mind is to end his life in that moment. However, Morgan says his kids and grandkids need him that what he is doing now is not the way out.

Meanwhile, we see Kristina return from surgery. She and her sister, Molly, grieve together for the loss of their little girl, while the next time we see a defeated and broken Sonny, he comes to see Kevin (Jon Lindstrom) in his office needing help.
The episode featured a knock-out performance from Maurice Benard. There was so much hurt, pain and sadness in Sonny’s eyes throughout the scenes opposite the returning Bryan Craig, that when the camera went in for the close-ups, all of that emotion was right there in front of us without it ever feeling pushed.

It was also a nice touch by having Morgan being the calming force for Sonny and the more, if you will, reasonable side, instead of being manic in those moments. While Craig’s appearance was short, it left viewers hoping one day (if things were to align) that the show would tell the story of what would happen if Morgan was alive and the burden of guilt it would lift from Sonny’s mind and heart, where the anguish of Morgan’s death was so palpable in this episode.
So, what did you think of the scenes between Sonny and Ghost Morgan and the performances of Maurice Benard and Bryan Craig? What did you think of the touching scenes between Kristen Vaganos and Kate Mansi as Molly and Kristina are devastated over the loss of the baby? Comment below, but first check out some of the moments between Sonny and “Morgan” below.
The scene that surprised me most was Sonny walking into Kevin’s office. Kudos to the writers for finding a logical way to speed up the reveal of Sonny’s dosage reduction.
I couldn’t agree more. A welcomed surprise. I’m also very glad Ava and Cates aren’t going to get their wish of seeing Sonny further deteriorate.
So glad that Sonny asked for help. Big surprise that he did so. Need to wrap up this storyline! And Maurice Benard really did some fine acting in the scene with his onscreen son.
I agree with your comment, but Weds.show was the best, just too bad little Donna had to go through getting her stomach pumped in order to prove that Sonny has just been taking placebos. Now can’t wait for them to put all the pieces together, including Ava’s part. That’s got to be a crime, endangering someone’s life, etc.
Ironic twist in the end though. It took two of Sonny’s kids to get him to see his medication was messed up. Though Morgan wasn’t actually there, and Donna had no idea she was helping him.
Ava’s definitely going to pay for this, and I believe that Scotty & NuJagger are also going to be in some legal hot water because they knew about Sonny’s meds being off. Jagger already exploited this fact in front of numerous witnesses at the courthouse, trying to goad Sonny into a fight. And Scotty was planning to do the same thing at the custody hearing, which of course leads back to the subpoena, and why Kristina was in Ava’s hotel room in the first place.
So Ava might be the only one formally charged with the baby’s death, but those guys are going to face some sort of consequences.
We might say three kids, because if Kritina hadn’t foolishly gone to Ava’s, starting this whole snowball rolling through Hell, mowing everything down in its path and Ava would still be doing, what she does best and now has Jagger to help her, seeing as he is as twisted as she is.
Scotty, Scotty, Scotty. The writers have brought his nasty side out again big time. Goading a pregnant Kristina in Sonny’s penthouse. Trying to get Alexis to discuss Heather’s case while she’s distraught over Kristina and the baby. I miss the Scotty who looks out for Elizabeth’s family and enjoys dating Dr. Obrecht, his Schnitzel. I miss Dr. Obrecht. Wish they were still together.
I’m not sure I saw the same clip as you did. What I saw in that scene with Morgan was an actor who had a hard time putting one line after the next. Maurice’s pauses were off and the whole performance rang hollow. I felt sorry for Bryan Craig who came back for a day who deliver this drivel. It was amazing he could do it with a straight face. Can we please lose the Corinthos family that has way overstayed their welcome in Port Charles? Frank, you can take the show In a different direction. Get rid of the mobsters. Your ratings won’t suffer.
If you dont like the charcters or the tone of this show, why don’t you just watch something else more suitable to your idea of a more docile afternoon whilst you sip your cup of tea.
P.S ” the mobsters” are an integral part of this show.

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).
On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..
In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”
GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW
So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!
FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD
As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”
Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.
So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL
Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.
The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.
In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”
So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
