GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny Remembers Carly Just as She Is Marrying Jason
After nine months of being “Mike”, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) had a major breakthrough as his memory is all coming back to him now (as the Celine Dion song says), and in the process the Tan-O has burned to the ground, signaling the the probable end to the Nixon Falls arc of the story.
As the story picked-up on Thursday, Nina’s (Cynthia Watros) plot to keep Sonny for herself and away from Carly majorly backfired on her. Not only does Phyllis (Joyce Guy) now know that Nina lied about “Mike’s” identify the entire time, but Peter August (Wes Ramsey) is running wild and free heading back to Port Charles to claim his baby and Maxie (Kirsten Storms), after setting fire to the building.

Since “Mike” ran in to save Nina and got hit by a beam in the process, he is alone in the burning Tan-O enveloped by flames, but that triggers the beginning of his memory coming back.
Meanwhile, back in Port Charles, Jason (Steve Burton) and Carly (Laura Wright) are at their wedding, with the five family mob bosses present with a plot of their own and everyone wondering if Jarly will say “I do'”. The two light a candle together for those loved ones no longer with them … ah, Sonny!
Back the burning Tan-O, Sonny is visited by the vision of the real Mike (Max Gail) who tells him it’s time for him to go home now. A conflicted Sonny tells Mike he is very happy in Nixon Falls with Nina, but Mike tells him he needs to know his past in order to move forward. When Sonny has flashes of his violent past it frightens him, and he says whatever family he has is better off without him in their lives.
Jax (Ingo Rademacher) tries to text Maxie while still in Nixon Falls with Nina to watch out for Peter, but she is attending and managing Carly and Sonny’s wedding, so she doesn’t pick up the phone!
Inside the Tan-O, Sonny sees a vision of woman, who when she turns and faces him is Carly. While Sonny is lying on the floor and is engulfed in flames and trapped, Mike tells Sonny he can die as “Mike” or live on as the man he truly is, Sonny. It is then Sonny calls out “Carly!”
So, what did you think of the episode? Do you think Carly and Jason will get married? Will Sonny tells Nina he remembers? What will Nina’s next move be? Are you glad Sonny seems to have his memory back? The episode featured another strong performance by Maurice Benard. Share your thoughts below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason asks Carly to Marry Him and She Responds “With All My Heart”
The stage is set now for General Hospital’s Jason/Carly/Sonny/Nina story to explode as things heated up between longtime friends and former lovers, Jason (Steve Burton) and Carly (Laura Wright) just as Jax (Ingo Rademacher) is in Nixon Falls pleading with Nina (Cynthia Watros) to come clean and tell “Mike”(Maurice Benard) that he is indeed, Sonny Corinthos. Here’s what went down on Friday’s episode …
Back in Port Charles, at the demolished former “Jake’s”, Carly and Jason’s old stomping grounds, Carly and Jason share a kiss. Carly says she can’t believe this is happening after letting him know that all of her old romantic feelings for him are starting to come back. Apparently that is true for Jason too, as the ABC daytime drama series finally reaches back into the history of these two characters who were in love, before Carly slept with Sonny. Back in the present day, Jason asks Carly to marry him, and she responds, “With all my heart.” But now, Carly is starting to feel more excited about what started off as a business arrangement between the two of them to retain the Corinthos family hold over the five families and the territory in Sonny’s absence. Carly says she wants their wedding day to be about them, and later they can come to Jake’s just by themselves.

In Nixon Falls, Jax (Ingo Rademacher) is trying to get through to Nina, who has admitted her duplicity to him and how she has fallen in love with “Mike”. When Jax informs her that Carly and Jason are getting married, she thinks that’s great then she and “Mike” can have a future together. Nina wants Jax to just forget this conversation, and seeing Sonny, and do this for her; after all she went through in losing her child, Nelle, and her relationship with him. Then Jax asks her to think about Donna and Avery and Wiley, his children and grandchild, who don’t know he is alive and will never get to know him. Nina cries that Jax has won, and that she will tell “Mike” the truth in private (but something tells us, she is going to make “Mike” walk-in on Jason and Carly’s nuptials, so that she has a shot of keeping him all to herself by the betrayal he will witness). Jax says he is not leaving Nixon Falls till she tells Sonny the truth, but she somehow she still got him to leave through her pleading to let her do this alone. As Nina thinks “Mike” is walking in the front door of the Tan-O, in walks Peter (Wes Ramsey)!

Meanwhile, Jordan (Briana Nicole Henry) is rushed to General Hospital unconscious with Portia (Brook Kerr) not far behind, after being trapped together. More bad news is revealed when Austin (Roger Howarth) gets the blood results back for Jordan and tells Curtis (Donnell Turner) that Jordan’s levels of carbon monoxide are 58% which is not good for someone with one kidney. Austin relates that if Jordan’s kidney function doesn’t improve, they’ll have put her on dialysis. TJ (Tajh Bellow) comes to see his mom, and sits by her bedside in tears. Later, Curtis breaks down in tears holding Jordan’s hand to come back to him, and she opens her eyes, as Portia walks in on the scene.

Three of the five families plan to take over Port Charles and split the territory after their secret meeting, where they plan to blow up a warehouse while Carly and Jason are distracted and at their wedding; the families also received a message from Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) while in prison. Who will stop the “hit”?
So, what do you think of Carly and Sonny getting close? What did you think of the performances of Laura Wright, Steve Burton, Cynthia Watros, and Donnell Turner within this episode? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

Many will say Stefan but i want Mike to return…then they can have Ava’s mom Delia also appear…Delia agrees to perform a song at the nurse ball…at the last moment Dee’s piano player is replaced and its Mike(does he even play piano…id’tk…lol) and what a hilarious wtf look there will be on Dee’s face when she see’s Mike and mistakes him for her husband Roger…GH could use more humor…i’d love it!!!
I am with you!!
Ditto! I loved Mike and it was nice to have Sonny have a normal father. Now Mike would have a new granddaughter, and maybe he could help Michael too. Or Morgan.
I agree it I what Mike cornthios come back
seems like a landslide
dang it…. it should be for DAYS
Stefan Cassadine
I still want JVP : Carlos
Personally, I would like to see Serena return full time! And now that Kim Matula is no longer part of B&B, I think she would make a good Serena.
For a brief return, however, I want to see Courtney come back as a vision for Jake. If he doesn’t have his memory (and true identity) back by the Nurses’ Ball, I think it would be great for him to get a visit from his sister. Plus, having Alicia Leigh Willis back for an episode or two would be spectacular.
Courtney wasn’t Jason’s sister. She’s Sonnys sister, which is why sonny is Spencer’s uncle.
Yes, that makes sense, I confused her with Emily.
Isn’t Courtney Sonny’s sister? Am I remembeting correctly? Weren’t she and Jason a couple?
Yes you are, my apologies, I confused the characters.
Ummm, you are confusing characters I think. Courtney is Sonny’ s sister, not Jason.
Yes, now I remember. Thank you
Courtney wasn’t Jake aka Jason’s sister…they were involved. Emily was his sister. Speaking of Emily I wish she would come back and be with Nikolas!! I think the choices kind of suck, but I would choose Mike or Serena. The original actress is still working and acting so they could cast her!
You’re right, I confused the characters. But yes, I would love to see Emily back! We need more Q’s!
I agree with you about Serena, but I would like to see Carly Schroeder return if possible.
Courtney is not Jason’s sister. She was Jason’s ex-wife and is Sonny’s half-sister. You must be thinking of Jason’s adopted sister, Emily Quartermaine instead, played by Natalia Livingston. I myself don’t care to ever see Courtney, aka Kung-Fu Barbie again. She can remain dead and buried.
Yes, you are right, I was not a regular GH viewer back then so I only vaguely remember the character, but I liked her. And I would love to see Emily back, I really miss her. She’s much better for Nikolas than Liz or Britt or this new Ivy chick IMO
Yes!!!! Courtney, also for Nicklaus. To show him he is going down the wrong path with helena
I’m a big Cassadine Stefan Cassadine..
They bring the thrills and suspense!
Giving my vote to — Stefan Cassadine !!
Yes! Stefan Cassadine all the way to the Nurses Ball!!!
Laura! Duh.
No no no, not Laura, she is boring and very annoying.
boy I second that! bwahahahaha
OMG please bring back Stefan Cassadine!!!!!! But he might be limited on story since Laura isn’t in town, so I will say bring back Serena Baldwin. That will have Scotty on screen more and she would be a good love interest for Michael and Morgan!!
I voted for Serena Baldwin, since I think that character has great long term possibilities. I wouldn’t mind Stefan, but NO NO NO to Courtney
Agreed! I couldn’t stand Courtney!
Love all of these characters, wish they could all come back, lol. But if I had to pick one, I would go with Courtney and the lovely Alicia Leigh Willis. Don’t know if they would be bringing her back from the dead, or if she would appear as a ghost, but I would love to see Courtney get a chance to meet and interact with her son Spencer. There’s so much material there, since she’s been gone for 9 years now. Would really like to see how they played that story. Loved Stephen Nichols as Stefan, of course Ron Hale… Read more »
I say bring them all back…
If I could vote for 1 character to leave it would be Robin..
Get rid of sabrina satiago there is no storyline for herdsince she didnt get with patric
Agreed!!!
I voted for Stefan Cassadine (Stephen Nichols). The return of Stefan would be dramatic and hot… especially at the Nurses Ball. I hope we see Stephen return.
Yes! me too!
Stefan Cassadine got my vote..
(( hope hope hope it will be him !!
Courtney would be great Spencer needs his mother and Alicia Willis is hot and I miss her
Totally agree.
Lemme get this straight. 2 of them are Cassadine related and 2 of them are Corinthos related. And then the wild card thrown in is Serena.
I wouldn’t mind a flash back moment with Courtney, just for the sake of her son. But I think it would be better to bring back Mike. Just to have closure for his storyline and move on.
1 cassadine, 1 matthews (step sister to sonny), 1 corbin (step father to sonny), and 1 baldwin. Courtney had an adulterous affair with Nicholas and a baby, but no she’s not a cassadine either.
I don’t see the point in bringing a character back just for a short lived buzz then crickets with such a bloated cast there are so many characters jockeying for a real storyline. Howe about stopping the GH variety show and write good storylines for the cast they already have .. All of a sudden Sabrina and Carlos popped back up… I haven’t been all that happy with these parade of characters returning anyway. I waited for Felicia and Maxi to have a meaningful story, its like they barely know each ohter…where is Max Scorpio they put him on recurring,… Read more »
courtney. so her son can have his mama
Hi Michael, I love Courtney & Mike. I voted for Sonny’s sis Courtney. Spencer really needs his dearest Mama. We were robber of Alicia. Thank you.
Stefan hands down!
Isn’t it amazing that TPTB couch rewarding the fans’ loyalty by allowing us to choose from 4 characters to return for the Nurses Ball and Laura Spencer is conveniently left out of the choices? These people infuriate me. I hope Tony realizes that even theaters crumble and fall .
I will not be voting, as I don’t really think any of the 4 offered could carry a story line. The closest one to doing that would be Stefan Cassadine, and Helena is already back, so it would just be more of the same, and going after Lulu again. That cards played out already. The character(s) I would like to see brought back to the show go back a long time. I’d like to see Richard Dean Anderson return as Jeff Webber, having put his demon drug problem long behind him. It would be interesting to see the interaction with… Read more »
I could see Helena having Courtney all this time, and I can see her in many storylines. Serena would have many storyline options also. I’d rather we meet a new Cassadine, unless they bring back Laura also. Would love to see Mike, but not with a new actor. So I hope it’s one of the ladies.
I want Stephan BUT I’m not voting for him because its a one day shot at the Nurses Ball. I want Stephan back FULL TIME! And really, I could see all these characters coming back full time so I wouldnt vote for any of them.
Yeah Timmm, I get what you’re saying, and I too, would want Stephen Nichols back to GH full-time. Though, from what I’ve read in various websites, the actor may not want to return to DAYS or GH full-time. So, I’ll take what I can get, you know? …a few days of Stefan or recurring, works for me. Yes, I’d prefer him full-time, if Stephen is open to that.
Wow, wouldnt it be nice to turn down work! Stefan must be comfortable. Good for him. I dont see him doing any other acting? Regardless, your right, something is better than nothing but I hate when you get a small taste of a recurring like Duke, Lucy, Scott, Mac and Felicia and then you dont see them for weeks.
I know, yeah, I’m so grateful to have Lucy, Scotty, Bobbie, Duke, Mac & Felicia, and… sporadically Kevin. Though, I agree it is frustrating to see some of these believed characters and actors just here and there. I wish some of them were on a solid contract, like Lucy Coe! 🙂
Bring back Stefan! He was a tolerable Cassadine. With them there is always suspense and drama
It would be great if Stephen Nichols and Mary Beth Evans returned to GH. I know Catherine Bell, died, or maybe she had a twin.
OMG, yes, everyone lives in the end on GH and for those two to walk back into Port Charles would be great! I dont think either of their bodies were recovered?
Totally, everyone seems to live on GH. Yeah, I don’t recall what went down with Stefan and Catherine.
Why do I have a feeling it won’t matter what the fans really think with this “poll”? The GH website does not show a running talley of which character is getting the most votes so we’ll have no way of knowing if who we voted for actually is the one that’s shown. Seems to me that “Fan February” may turn out to be “who the TPTB want and we’ll say it was the fans’ choice regardless of the actual votes.” Some transparency in the polling would be nice.
Cassadine.
Stefan Cassadine
But I know they trying to get Courtney for Spencer..but I hope he don’t bring her back for Jason..that’s Sam man..
I voted Stefan but I really want Laura back home! We love Genie Francis and tptb should bring her home!!!!!
Me too!
No fair! Only four choices–and that does NOT include the most popular character of all time–Laura! I’m crying foul! AND I SAY BRING GENIE FRANCIS BACK AS LAURA–beloved character–and bring the REAL LUKE BACK while you’re at it.
Yes bring Genie Francis back as Laura and the REAL Luke back,maybe she could get to the bottom of the Fluke Luke.
Bring back Stefan and recast Serena with Kimberly Matula ex Hope, Bold and The beautiful.
I want Stefan, I think Nicholas could use him now, Bring back a good Cassadine !!!
Truth be told, there are so many GH characters I want back. First and foremost, Lucky and Laura should have been back for this whole Fluke/Luke story. Laura would be able to see right through the imposter, and I still really hope she comes back at some point for the story. Same with Lucky, he should have been told about what happened to his father, and I would love for him to come back so they can work through their issues (after Luke killed his son). I also want to see more of Liz’s family back on screen and that’s… Read more »
i want to see Victor (Thaao Penghlis) come back because we all know he didn’t die at Crichton Clark. That might all play in with Stefan’s return.
Courtney Courtney Courtney! Spencer really needs her right now!
And not for anything she wasn’t a bad character, the writers just kept giving her horrible storylines!
NO!
Stefan Cassadine!!!
Stefan Stefan Stefan Stefan Stefan !!!
he has the most to offer GH and its’ stories and-
Stefan , will bring a whole lot of surprises and suspenses with him !!
He is needed.. 🙂
Yeah! Stefan does have the most to offer on the canvas. He’s got rich history, and it would be a hoot for Spencer to meet his (great) Uncle Stefan. I would love to see those scenes, Stephen has a great smile, and I can only envision their chemistry, too. Lots of good story if Stefan is brought back by fans.
Mike and Delia together, that would be great.
I would say I want Courtney and Serena back .
But if I had to really think about it I want Jake Spencer back from the dead. GH was wrong for killing him off , so I want him to return for Elizabeth & Jason. Let Jason get a Chance to know his son and be apart of his life. Danny needs his big brother , gh can do it they bring others back from the dead why not him .
Another bonus one for me is dillion and Maxie sister georgie
Skye Quartermaine
Lorenzo Alcazar
for the WIN
this couple would steam surpass LIVE overthrow and ignite PASSION
Yes, Patrick- Skype and Lorenzo for SURE!
I miss “Red”
Who chose these four??
STEFAN…
none would be my choice to come back but out of the four Courtney because spencer could use a mother.
If I was picking I would want Laura back first and Natalie second.
Maybe later this year for them?
Oops brain freeze that was Emily not Natalie!
I personally would love if ghetto brinca back emily quartermane jason’s sister full time and not as a ghost. If gh can bring so many propiedad back from the seas so why not her. She is an amazing charater and so much great stories to put her in just to give up on her. Please gh help me bring her back . She’s one of my favorite charictors I look up to. Please take it under concitoration. Please make it happen. Thank You so much.

I voted for Stefan (obviously) but I feel like Courtney will win because of little Spencer .. plus he’s been talking a lot lately about his momma, and they have been saying how he needs her
I want Serena back to give Lucy more story. Also she’s Franco’s half sister. She could also be involved with the younger cast.
neither 1 but Ava Jerome brings the show to interesting hieghts so her character and and to replace solgn for anna devaine back on the show
I hope that Sonny doesn’t DIE please and I hope Kiki stays 🙁
STEPHEN BECAUSE YOU COULD DO A LOT OF GOOD STUFF WITH HIS CHARACTER WITH THE OTHER ONES PEOPLE WONT CARE
Bring back the most interesting and involved character Stefan.
i think emily should be brought back for good for nichlas and jake
Yes bring Genie Francis Laura back if anyone can figure what is going on with the Fluke Luke she can.
Amen! Amen!
You did not have the one we wanted we wood like to see
Lucky or robin return we watch your shows all the time
We get in to the shows pretty good.
Thank you for your time .
I say stefan. I wish connie or lucky but out of the 4 stefan will do.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MIKE CORBIN RETURN BECAUSE HE WOULD BE A STABILIZING FATHER FIGURE FOR SONNY AS HE GOES THROUGH BEING A NEW FATHER TO AVERY, AND FIGHT WITH MICHAEL OVER HER CUSTODY. THERE ARE B OT ENOUGH NORMAL ADULT CHARACTERS LIKE LILA AND EDWARD ANYMORE WHO WOULD GIVE GOOD ADVICE TO OTHER CHARACTERS.
I HAVE WATCHED GH SINCE DAY ONE. I AM 72 YEARS OLD AND TRY NEVER TO MISS A DAY.
