Port Charles, NY – As fans of General Hospital (GH) tune into the latest episodes, the tension in Port Charles is palpable. On August 30, viewers were left gasping as Sonny Corinthos, played by the talented Maurice Benard, shocked everyone with a shocking cliffhanger that has left the community buzzing with excitement. In the episode’s closing moments, Sonny shot John Jagger, played by actor Adam Huss, not once, but twice in a dramatic confrontation behind the Q's mansion. This explosive turn of events has sparked discussions among fans and actors alike, with many questioning Sonny's motives and the implications of his actions.
Maurice Benard recently took to his podcast, State of Mind, to chat with Huss about the bold storyline and its impact on their characters. Benard reflected on the dramatic nature of Sonny's actions, emphasizing that while Sonny has had a tumultuous 30-year history in Port Charles, he has only shot a handful of people himself. "Mob bosses typically use henchmen for deeds like this," he remarked, hinting at the rarity of such actions coming directly from Sonny.
The shooting of John Jagger has reignited discussions about Sonny's character and the choices he makes. Adam Huss described Sonny's behavior as "pretty bold," to which Benard readily agreed. The two actors delved into the intricacies of the storyline, recalling past events, including Sonny's history of violence and the psychological impacts of his actions. In a shocking twist, Benard also recalled how Sonny previously shot Michael Corinthos's biological father, AJ Quartermaine, which he referred to as "pretty wild."
The stakes have never been higher for Sonny, especially after the chaotic fallout from the shooting. With Carly Spencer, portrayed by Laura Wright, stepping up to provide him with an alibi and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) handling the gun, the web of deception has only thickened. Meanwhile, Christina Corinthos Davis, played by Lexi Ainsworth, inadvertently added fuel to the fire by stealing one of her father’s guns. The series of events unfolded on the fateful night John was shot, culminating in a dramatic twist when her mother, Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn), disposed of the weapon by throwing it off a bridge. This act led to further complications when the gun was discovered by Rick Lansing (Christian Alexander) and Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst), setting the stage for even more turmoil in upcoming episodes.
As the storyline unfolds, fans are left wondering about the long-term repercussions of Sonny's actions. Will this bold move come back to haunt him? Is the shooting of John a turning point in Sonny's character arc? General Hospital fans are encouraged to share their thoughts on this gripping narrative and what they think lies ahead for the beloved characters.
