Spoilers for General Hospital hint that Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Bernard) is acting strangely and nobody seems to know why. Sonny has gradually cut himself apart from everyone who is close to him, with the exception of Ava Jerome (Maura West).
Considering Sonny and Ava’s past, this seems like an odd choice. Unbeknownst to everyone, however, Jack Brennan (Charles Mesure), who is incarcerated in Pentonville after being apprehended by Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zomprogna) and Anna Devane (Finola Hughes), has relinquished control of the Pikeman Organization to Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).
Valentin Cassadine Knows Sonny Corinthos’ Biggest Weakness!
During a recent discussion between Valentin and Brennan, they revealed that they were responsible for the death’s of former mob bosses who have outlived their usefulness to the group.
Sonny remains their greatest target because he refuses to allow Pikeman to use the Docks under his control.
Assassins sent by Pikeman have failed time and time again to kill Sonny, so Valentin has another plan. Valentin knows Sonny’s biggest weakness: himself.
Valentin Cassadine Has Far-Reaching Power!
Valentin somehow made a deal with Sonny’s pharmacist to tamper with Sonny’s medication . Sonny is bi-polar and when he’s not on his medication, he is his own worst enemy.
He lashes out at everyone, both friend and foe. Valentin is well aware of this, so he had Sonny’s pharmacist give Sonny a prescription that only contains a small portion of the correct medication, the rest is a placebo.
Sonny’s judgement is most certainly off which goes a long way to explain his sudden closeness to Ava. It’s unclear if Ava is aware of the tampered medication or not.
Valentin may be secretly blackmailing her after framing her for the murder of Austin Gatlin-Holt (Roger Howarth).
Nina Cassadine Will Enlist Carly Corinthos To help her!
Nina and Carly hate each other, there’s no other way to describe their feelings for one another.
After a moment of shock at Ava and Sonny’s newfound intimacy, Nina might recognize that something isn’t quite right. She might even go so far as to ask Carly to enlighten her about the true situation.
Carly wouldn’t normally talk to Nina, but she has personally seen Sonny’s strange behavior. She may recognize that this is another instance of Sonny not taking his medication because she is also aware of past instances.
It might take both Nina and Carly to discover the truth and save Sonny before he kills himself, even though he thinks he is taking his medicine.
What Do You Think?
Is Ava working with Pikeman secretly to save herself? How far will Sonny spiral before someone realizes what’s going on? Could Nina and Carly put their differences aside in order to save Sonny?
