General Hospital Spoilers: Sonny Corinthos Recruits Brick to Sabotage Carly and Valentin

TL;DR: Sonny Corinthos is gunning for crime lord Jenz Sidwell, but General Hospital spoilers say he is about to open a second war right at home. The show has teased Sonny will recruit his fixer Brick to torpedo Carly and Valentin’s romance before it can even begin.

A Romance Born Behind Closed Doors

Sonny Corinthos has never been good at letting go, and General Hospital spoilers say Carly Spencer is about to learn that the hard way. For months, Valentin Cassadine lived like a ghost inside Carly’s home, a hunted man dodging the WSB while the two of them struck an uneasy alliance. Nobody in Port Charles expected what came next.

That tense partnership melted into something neither of them saw coming. By the time Jack Brennan stormed into Carly’s bedroom back on May 4, the secret was out in the cruelest way imaginable. Carly told him to turn around, and there stood Valentin, the truth written all over the room.

What followed was pure, dizzying heat. Carly and Valentin stopped hiding from each other, and a fake alliance turned into the real thing. But joy on this canvas never outlasts a commercial break. On June 16, Valentin kissed Carly goodbye and flew to Geneva, hell-bent on exposing double agent Ross Cullum to the head of the WSB, even if it meant walking straight back into a Steinmauer cell. He put his own odds of walking free at about a thousand to one.

Sonny Corinthos Declares a Two-Front War

Here is where it gets deliciously messy. Sonny Corinthos already has his hands full plotting the downfall of crime lord Jenz Sidwell, swearing the man who terrorized his loved ones will meet a grim fate. You would think one war would be plenty for any mob boss. Think again.

According to General Hospital summer preview spoilers, Sonny Corinthos is about to open a second front, and this one is deeply personal. The show has teased that Sonny will be livid when he discovers his ex-wife has fallen for a Cassadine. Spoilers hint he will pull his most trusted fixer, Brick, into the fight to blow up Carly and Valentin’s reunion before it can even start.

That is right. The same Brick who has quietly bailed Sonny out of a dozen impossible jams is reportedly being handed his messiest assignment yet, and it has nothing to do with guns or gangsters. Reading between the lines, Sonny is not asking Brick to dig up dirt on an enemy. He is asking him to break two hearts.

Here is the connection nobody else is making. Sonny is fighting Sidwell and sabotaging a romance at the very same moment Valentin is risking prison to bring Cullum down. If the writers line these threads up the way they appear to be aiming, the one person who can clear Valentin’s path home is Anna Devane, while the one person dead set on blocking it is the father of Carly’s daughter.

Why Does Sonny Corinthos Want to Break Up Carly and Valentin?

Officially, Sonny will sell it as protection. Valentin is a Cassadine with a long rap sheet and a body count, and Sonny has spent decades convinced that nobody on earth can love Carly the right way except the people he personally approves of. On paper, he is the worried protector riding to the rescue.

But here is the uncomfortable part fans are already shouting about. Sonny and Carly have been divorced for years, and he has moved on more than once himself. So where exactly does a long-divorced ex find the nerve to torpedo the woman’s one real shot at happiness? That is the question that turns a quiet spoiler into a screaming match.

Whose side are you on in this one? Drop a comment below and let the rest of the Port Charles faithful know whether Sonny is a hero or a hypocrite.

Where Fans Draw the Line

This is the kind of story that splits a fandom right down the middle. Team Sonny will argue he is the only one with the spine to protect Carly from a man who has lied to half of Port Charles. Team Carly and Valentin will fire back that a grown woman does not need her ex-husband, a fixer, and a sabotage plot deciding who she is allowed to love.

Our gut says Sonny Corinthos is about to start a war he cannot win, because the harder he pushes, the harder Carly tends to run the other way. Bring your verdict to our Facebook page and tell us who you think comes out of this one still standing.
