General Hospital Spoilers: New GH Promo – Tragedy Strikes – Sonny Corinthos Dead or Alive?

General Hospital spoilers tease another wild week in Port Charles, New York, according to an all new weekly promo for the ABC soap opera.

As General Hospital (GH) viewers will recall, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and Sonny, with the help of Brick (Stephen A. Smith) had tracked a badly wounded Julian Jerome (William DeVry) to a bus terminal in Secaucus, New Jersey. Julian was pale and had a large bullet wound in the ribs and was bleeding profusely. He had just talked another passenger into selling him a bus ticket to Roanoke, Virginia.

He had missed the bus he intended to take to Montreal, Canada by about ten minutes after dozing off. He was ready to head for the Roanoke bus when Sonny and Jason got there and confronted him. The plan had been to keep Julian alive and take him to the Port Charles Police Department and force him to tell them how Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) had set off the bomb Julian planted remotely. That bomb had killed Dev Cerci (Ashton Arbab) and Dustin Phillips (Mark Lawson) and injured many others, including Lulu Spencer (Emme Rylan) who is now in an indeterminate coma.

But as Sonny and Jason were ready to haul Julian in, one of Cyrus’ henchmen arrived and started shooting! Jason and the henchman stayed in a gun battle while Julian ran, and Sonny ran after him! Jason killed the henchman and was detained by police. By the time Jason tracked Sonny down, he and Julian, apparently dead, were at the end of a bridge under repair. Jason saw as Sonny and Julian went into the river as the bridge broke underneath them! The preview picks up from there!

GH Spoilers – Jason Jerome Dives Into The River

Jason shouts “SONNY!” as he watches him fall. Jason dives into the river, but is unsuccessful in finding Sonny. The video voiceover instructs viewers to prepare for the unthinkable! Jason then is shown breathing heavily and soaking wet, as the same policeman who tried to arrest him in the bus terminal has arrived. He says “bring the body here”. Jason turns away after a body bag is zipped up, with a sad and shocked look on his face, followed by a shot of a sad and worried Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright).

Carly is looking out the window wondering when Sonny and Jason will return! Who lived, and who died, or did anyone live? Viewers would expect that the body of Julian was in the bag, since the exit of William DeVry from the General Hospital canvas has been well publicized. It can be expected that Sonny may be presumed dead for a period of time after a more thorough search is done, with Carly and his family having to carry on without him.

Jason will likely keep searching for a period of time, knowing that there is the barest chance of survival for Sonny. Longtime General Hospital viewers will recall Jason, too, was pushed into the waters off the docks in Port Charles with a gunshot wound and survived. However, it took five years before he came back alive. Did Sonny survive, or not? Time will tell, but it might be longer than Sonny’s family and friends want it to be!
