General Hospital spoilers tease Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) have been married and divorced four times. Yes, four times. What is it about this couple that makes people keep coming back for more? Fans seem to yearn for them in particular, and there might be a certain magic behind them that pulls viewers new and old back in for their love story one more time. But what is it?
General Hospital Spoilers — The Marriage Grows Stale
The classic soap opera knows that if there is to be any amount of lust or flirtation left in a couple’s storyline, they won’t keep it alive by being together for decades. It’s hard to translate that kind of love on-screen without turning a couple into Edward Quartermaine (John Ingle) and Lila Quartermaine (Anna Lee).
While there was certainly nothing wrong with the Q patriarch and matriarch, General Hospital spoilers show Sonny and Carly are still finding their way to one another and aren’t yet fit for a fifty-year wedding anniversary.
GH Spoilers – Tease It’s All In The Angst
Much of the appeal about Sonny and Carly is that they still don’t really understand one another. Sonny doesn’t always see eye to eye with Carly, and that’s why she has held onto Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) as her best friend. In many ways, Carly has been married for years to both of these men.
Sonny might have fathered Carly’s children and given her his last name, but Jason has provided much of the emotional support — a part Sonny isn’t always keen on. Sonny’s business keeps him busy, and he and Carly often clash on the importance of family over work, as well as outside influences in their relationship, and both of them have a serious jealous streak. While it may look juvenile at times, it’s kept a bit of a spark in their relationship with all that angst floating around.
General Hospital Spoilers — GH Fans Can’t Help Falling In Love
The truth is, fans keep coming back for Sonny and Carly because every time, they fall in love all over again. There’s a certain comfort in knowing they’ll find their way back to one another each time. Fans are always waiting for the clock to run out on whatever relationship Sonny is pursuing — and they know all bets are off once Carly jumps into one of her own. It turns out, Sonny can’t stand to see Carly with anyone else any more than we can.
