Why General Hospital’s Amnesiac Sonny Story Is Past Its Expiration Date

General Hospital spoilers and updates reveals the mobster with a semi-heart of gold Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) fights other GH mobster with a semi-heart of gold Julian Jerome (William deVry) on a rickety bridge outside a New Jersey bus station. One falls off the bridge when shot and then the bridge collapses, wiping out the other.

Julian’s dead body was quickly found. Sonny’s amnesiac body washed up somewhere in Pennsylvania very much alive, but everyone back in Port Charles decided he was dead and even held a funeral. The mobster from Brooklyn, NY becomes a bartender named Mike in someplace called Nixon Falls and a classic soap opera story is born.

That was…before Christmas. It’s now after Easter heading into Mother’s Day and Memorial Day and Sonny is still tending bar to almost no customers in this Pennsylvania town while Carly (Laura Wright) has essentially taken over the mob business, with her first order of business being kidnapping an old lady for the holidays. It’s only gone downhill since, both in PC and Nixon Falls.

General Hospital Spoilers – The Sonny Corinthos Near Misses Just Aren’t Working

We knew as soon as Sonny was taken in by the same nurse who tended for Nina (Cynthia Watros) when she was comatose (and delivered Baby Nelle to Frank Benson in Florida) that Nina would somehow become involved with this story. It just took too long to happen.

Nina originally heard Sonny’s voice when she called Phyllis (Juliette Jeffers) at the Tan-O back in February. She knew the voice was familiar but didn’t put two and two together. Instead, it was weeks and weeks before Nina even paid a visit to Phyllis and found Sonny Corinthos standing there with no memory and calling himself Mike.

At first, we couldn’t blame Nina when she didn’t tell a shouting Carly about finding a living Sonny. Carly’s shouting is enough to make anyone want to hang up and never call back. It also made for some interesting stories, but it hasn’t moved forward.

Since then, Jax (Ingo Rademacher) did see Sonny but since he was shot, Nina later convinced him he was delirious. Then, Trina (Sydney Mikayla) almost saw Sonny, but Nina headed her off at the pass. Trina did take home some of Sonny’s spaghetti sauce, but Joss (Eden McCoy), who would recognize the flavor, decided not to try it cause she’s watching her weight. ENOUGH!

GH Spoilers – Needs Sonny Corinthos To Find His Memories Now

How much longer can we watch the near misses? How much longer must Sonny stay in a plaid shirt behind a bar reminding us that Julian is gone, as he was a former mobster behind a bar in a plaid shirt his final few years on Soap Earth. Please, General Hospital, end this story and give us some fallout already instead of the same scenes every day.
