General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) recently leaked Sonny and Nina Reeves’ (Cynthia Watros) underdog love story, so we know there won’t be a romantic reunion with Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) anytime soon. Let’s look at what Benard had to say and talk about what it means for Sonny’s future.
“Did some scenes today with @watroswatros,” Benard said in an intriguing tweet. “Simple,Sweet, A touch of magic. This to me is the underdog story, I will continue to keep bringing what I can to make it come to life. Doesn’t mean I don’t honor-#CarSon”
For starters, that shows Benard is still shooting scenes of a romantic nature between Sonny and Nina. Since GH films months in advance, that’s a huge tipoff that Nina and Sonny’s budding relationship won’t be cut short.
Benard also made that comment about how he’d “continue” bringing what he could to make this story come to life. That suggests there are even more romantic scenes to film between Sonny and Nina, which should extend their time together even further.
Benard seems to be spelling out that this will be far more than a mutual crush. It sounds like Nina and Sonny will have a full-blown relationship – perhaps even after Nina’s secret comes out.
That could add to the underdog element if “Mike” discovers who he really is and realizes Nina kept quiet about his true identity. Perhaps Sonny could understand Nina’s motives if she explains how she wanted him to have a fresh start away from the mob.
That wasn’t Nina’s initial reason for keeping Sonny’s survival under wraps, but it became a big part of it.
“Mike” hates crime with a burning passion and has truly enjoyed this peaceful new existence, so Nina will have that going for her. Sonny might choose Nina over Carly anyway just based on how he feels in the present.
We have to remember that without his memories, Sonny isn’t going to feel the same way about Carly. He doesn’t know Carly in this amnesiac state, but he knows Nina and has fallen hard!
Of course, this will fit in a larger journey that will inevitably bring Sonny back to Carly sooner or later. Benard admitted he still honored “CarSon,” which is good since Carly and Sonny are bound to reunite down the road.
The point is simply that Sonny’s going to have a love story with Nina first – and that should delay this reunion with Carly for quite some time.
