GENERAL HOSPITAL: Will Nina’s Guilty Conscience Ruin a Marriage Proposal From Sonny?
This week on General Hospital, Sonny (Maurice Benard) has a marriage proposal for Nina (Cynthia Watros). However, she’s feeling the walls may be closing in on her when she regrets her actions against Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Carly (Laura Wright). As GH viewers know, she had turned them into the SEC for insider trading as a revenge-tactic against Carly.
In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, Sonny (Maurice Benard) is set to take a big step and ask Nina to marry him. This, comes on the heels of Nina bowing out of attending Michael (Chad Duell) and Willow’s (Katelyn MacMullen) wedding, to keep the peace in the family, and letting him attend alone.
On the latest developments, Maurice Benard shared with SOD on the marriage proposal: “It’s not an immediate yes from Nina. I think because she’s already done the bad deed (of calling the SEC). She’s trying to get out of it, so she doesn’t dig herself deeper.”
Previewing Sonny’s profession of love to Nina, the three-time Daytime Emmy winner said of the upcoming scenes: “That was my job as an actor, to convince her in this monologue that, ‘I don’t care about what you’ve done.’ He doesn’t care about anything but her, ‘and I love you, and let’s do this.'”
As to how he thinks Sonny’s proposal to Nina stacks up with others in his GH career, “I’m not saying this is the best, but I am saying it’s up there with the best that I’ve had.”
Of course, what will happen if Sonny finds out what Nina did to Carly with the SEC insider trading deception? Stay tuned.
Check out the promo for this week’s GH below, then let us know. Are you hoping Sonny and Nina get engaged? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
When the scenes air of when everyone finds out what Nina did, they are going to be pivotal because I know all the acotrs involved in those scenes will be on their A-game…can’t wait!!!
Better hide the weapons when the truth comes out. Nina will lose Willow for good and she can kiss any chance of ever seeing her other grandchild goodbye.
I don’t see Carly going back to Sonny though. If anything it’s going to bolster Carly and Drew’s bond.
I bet a drunk Martin let’s it slip and Diane finds out. My guess is Nina will want a fast wedding and it all comes out there.
Good. Hope Nina takes a hike and gives up on Twitto. However, Maurice’s acting has been quite elevated since his character hooked up with Cynthia’s Nina. When he proposed, his voice cracked and tears welled up in his eyes. Too bad he has awful, spoiled, self-entitled, bratty stepchildren.
Maurice has always been a great actor period! I just can’t do the Nina thing anymore, it’s sickening! The character, Nina is a waste of Cynthia’s talent!
You’re right
Harry I agree with you about Maurice doing a fine job.
Exactly. Carly is going to stop the wedding and Sonny will walk away from Nina. I didn’t like them together anyway.
I hope so !! Sick of Nina always blaming Carly.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Carly and Drew commit a crime? This story is so lopsided and clumsy. The writers persist in propping up Carly as some kind of heroine when she’s really a terrible human being. I nearly screamed in my pillow when Drew complained to Carly,” Tracy does terrible things but never faces the consequences of her actions.” Um.. who is writing this crappolla? The writing is so bad that I do not dread the day when the results of the writers’ strike appears on the screen.
Good analysis Harry.
Also, why should Michael then be applauded for not turning over the proof of Sonny’s crime?
Carly is not a heroine. She’s a flawed individual that needs to face the consequences of her actions every once in a while.
Sonny needs to take his blinders off and see what a truly despicable person Nina is and always has been.
Shari,
That will hurt his ego to think how bad his judgement was.
Thank you!!
Nina is a flawed person who is doing the best that she can. There’s a reason why Sasha adores her. Sasha is the daughter Nina deserves but she ended up with an embittered Twitto, a former cult member who thinks she was better off with Harmony than with Nina. Harmony sex trafficked her minor daughter to a cult member who repeatedly raped and drugged her. Nina is guilty of giving into her overly protective maternal instincts.
Boy, that’s a stretch! Sasha also believes that Gladys has her best interest at heart and look what she is doing to her behind her hack!
Lew S,
Yes, after this, she’ll be afraid to trust anyone, just hope it doesn’t include Cody, I really like him but he’s so misunderstood.
Sonny is a mob boss yet he is looking so stupid believing and trusting Nina! This has gone on way too long!
Sylvia Bray,
With men, their brains and other organs think differently and being a mob boss doesn’t make a difference, if he was so smart, he wouldn’t be one in the first place.
I agree, Sonny needs to see the true Nina. She does cruel deeds then plays the victim and tries to justify. She wants to always blame Carly for all her actions.
Sonny’s been getting nothing but bad advice since they threw Jason under the bus again. There’s not a snowball’s chance in my back yard that this idiotic situation with Nina would have lasted this long, had Jason been around to give him a reality check.
Michael & Carly have tried to tell him, of course, but their opinions would obviously be seen as “biased”. Dante & Kristina are both being written out of character in their acceptance of Nina (Carly’s not their mom, so let’s pretend they can easily accept this stupidity). And Dex has no standing to tell Sonny’s he’s on the wrong track, since he wasn’t around to know what the right track was.
Ava should have reminded Sonny what Nina did to their daughter Avery when she was born, but her Nina blinders are even worse than Sonny’s, apparently.
These people are all crazy, I just can’t decide which one is the worst.
Speaking of Avery, can’t wait till she spills the beans all over everyone.
They better make Drew grovel at Ned’s feet when all is said and done. Drew and Carly aren’t going to jail, so hopefully Drew will have to give Aurora to Ned or something like that. As for Carly, I can’t think of a reasonable consequence or a realistic (on GH) one either, so she’ll get probation or something lame.
On answer to the above question, will Nina’s guilty conscience, etc,etc
My answer is Let’s hope so!
So having been a fan of Cynthia since her spin as Annie Dutton on Guiding Light, I’ve always wondered when things may go a bit “nuts”. Nina (then played by Michelle Stafford) was awful to Ava with the whole baby snatching situation. The character then took a softer side once Cynthia took over the role. She plays the victim well, but if she is the bio-mom to Nelle, we know that there are genetics involved. I can’t remember the recent scene on GH, but I saw some “Annie Dutton” showing her colors…
Margherita,
Oh, you are so right. We know darn well if the nasty Nelle ( a real Annie Dutton clone), were to come back tomorrow, Nina would be right there to defend against every horrible thing she’s done. I keep waiting for this day to come but hope it never happens. I’ve been thinking if Willow dies it would be just her thing to swoop in and kidnap Wiley with Nina’s help.
There will be a fully functional ski resort on Beelzebub Mountain before Sonny marries Nina. They have been writing Sonny out of character ever since Tricky Dick Nixon Falls. Sonny told Brenda she was “dead to him” when the Feds forced her to wear a wire.
Nina has done worse than that to him at least twice a week, every week. And what she has done to Carly & Drew this time around is the worst of all. It’s not only another betrayal of Sonny in this case, but also a betrayal of her own alleged daughter Willow, who she claims to love so much. Not only because Willow asked her to back off her vendetta against Carly (as if stealing her husband and her hotel wasn’t enough??) but also because Drew was just involved in rescuing Dr Ooblech from the clutches of Hell’s latest dragon stable attendant, Victor Cassadine, so she could provide the bone marrow which presumably has now put Willow on the road to recovery from leukemia.
Sure we can argue over Drew’s actual importance in that mission. But he was there… and that should count for something, compared to what Nina’s done to “help” Willow.. which ain’t much.
So enough already. It’s time to end the Tricky Dick Nixon Falls storyline for real.
And not a moment too soon!!!
I so agree!
NINA HAS GOTTEN AWAY WITH TOO MUCH DIRT…SHE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR HER MISDEEDS & WHAT SEEMS TO BE JOSSH PROBLEM WITH SONNY…HE IS TRYING TO STEER HER CLEAR OF A KILLER AS A BOYFRIEND.
I hope Nina secret is out soon. Her and sonny are a terrible couple. No chemistry!!! I feel bad for ned. I can’t wait till they realize he didn’t do it and have to apologize
How stupid are these people wouldn’t they realize that Ned didn’t do ot because he knew everyone would come after him
Crystal,
Yes, his own wife and mother don’t even believe him.Im sure Olivia will apologize with some damn Lasagna or whatever, I can’t believe that bitch Carley expected Olivia to throw Ned out of his own family home!
Crystal,
Poor Ned, even his wife and mother won’t believe or support him. Carly thinks Olivia should throw him out of his own family home, of all the unmitigated gall that bitch has!
I don’t want Sonny to marry Nina. She so messy.She really need to disappear.
Ewww! No Sonny doesn’t need to be with Nina since he clearly still in love with Carly. Yes they had a little romance in Nixon Falls, but he also thought he was a man named Mike (named after his deceased father). When he got his memory back in the fire, the first person he thought about was CARLY. Stop continuing this crappy story and let whining attention seeking Nina be by herself, while letting Sonny and Carly find their way back to each other. Quiet as it’s kept, Drew is boring and he’s no Jason (who definitely DID NOT need to marry Carly). Sonny is Carly’s forever. Let Carly and Sonny Reunite and be happy.
I hope Sonny dumps Nina. It seems like everyone including Nina has forgotten about her keeping Sonny’s entire family away from him for 9 months !!It’s always what Carly did, when she was always following Willows wishes.
I hope Sonny Doesn’t marry Nina! I can’t stand that conniving ugly insecure woman! I wish that Sonny and Carly get back together as they always have over the past 30yrs of watching. Because I’m at the point of not watching this soap opera anymore since Sonny has been with Nina. Ukkk
It will be drawn out till next mays sweeps smh at the alter
Looking forward to Tracy foiling whatever Drew and Carly try to do to her. Poor Ned not even his wife or mother believe him. ha ha I’m glad his daughter believes him at least. Nina, Carly and Sonny all deserve each other. Michael and Willow need to go to Paris permanently so we viewers won’t have to hear the name “Wiley” 50 times per episode. Joss and Spencer need to be banished to an island of entitled brats. Gladys and Selina need to face Sonny’s wrath.
Carrie,
Hey, you forgot that Joss and Spencer should take Trina and Dex with them.
It’s hard to believe it’s been two years since Van Hansis made his debut as the recast Lucas Jones on General Hospital. It was back on October 4, 2023 that GH fans got their first look at the former As the World Turns (ex-Luke Snyder) favorite in his new soap role.
Hansis became the fifth actor to play the role of the adoptive son of the late Bobbie Spencer and Tony Jones, and the biological son of the late Julian Jerome and Cheryl Stansbury. Prior to Van, C.J. Thomason (2002–2003), Ben Hogestyn (2005–2006) Ryan Carnes (2004–2005, 2014–2020, 2024) and Matt Trudeau (2020–2021) had played the part.
When Van left daytime after As the World Turns sadly went off the air in 2010, it would be 14 years until he stepped back into the updated frenetic pace and grind of acting on a daily soap opera.

LUCAS CAME HOME TO PORT CHARLES
Since Lucas has been back in Port Charles, he fell in love with the late Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) who was murdered, moved into a new apartment with his current roommate (soon to be love interest?) Joe Fitzpatrick as played by Jonathan Bennett, has become best buds with the “Britch” Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud), and has found himself involved in multiple other storylines. However, now that Van is firmly implanted on GH, might Lucas get a leading storyline of his own? Stay tuned.
In the meantime, to acknowledge his two-year anniversary at General Hospital, Hansis shared via his Instagram a photo montage and some heartfelt “thank you’s’ and words. “Two years ago yesterday, Lucas Jones came home to Port Charles looking a little different. Looking exactly like me.” began Hansis.
“When I took on the role, I was told it would be a heavy recurring for a few months and then we’d see where it goes – being based in NYC at the time, I thought it would be a fun little gig that would bring me back to my old stomping grounds of daytime for a bit.”

GENERAL HOSPITAL HAS BEEN LIFE-CHANGING FOR VAN HANSIS
Next, the longtime New York-based actor confirmed he has now moved to Los Angeles as this new chapter of his life has unfolded, and how grateful he is that the show’s writers and producers have continually given more for Lucas to do.
Van explained, “But then they kept writing for me more and I fell in love with Lucas, and everyone around him (in front of and behind the camera). I wanted to stay a while and am so grateful I have. Being a part of GH these last two years has been life changing. Literally. My family and I are Angelenos now, I’ve made incredible new friendships and have been able to revisit old ones.”
The three-time Daytime Emmy-nominated actor concluded with, “Thank you Frank (Valentini, executive producer, GH), thank you Mark (Teschner, casting director, GH), for inviting me to the party. You throw a great one. ”
So, happy to know Van is sticking around General Hospital for some time to come? What has been your favorite Lucas Jones moment over the first two years of Van’s run? Let us know via the comment section below.
