General Hospital: Sonny Corinthos Tells Ric Lansing His Mistake Was Going Easy on Josslyn Jacks

SONNY CORINTHOS IS DONE GIVING JOSSLYN JACKS A PASS

TL;DR: On Thursday’s General Hospital, Sonny Corinthos told Ric his mistake was going easy on Josslyn Jacks, and he will cut off her support at JJE, starting with Hudson. Josslyn told Lucas she wants Sonny gone, and Carly fears his revenge.

Sonny Names His Mistake

It aired Thursday, November 12, and the mystery is solved. On General Hospital, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) told his brother Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) exactly which mistake he means to correct. He gave Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) too much leeway and never put her in her place, even after she disrespected him and hurt Avery. She doesn’t count herself as family anymore, so he won’t treat her like family.

Sonny’s plan against Josslyn is to cut off her support system at JJE, beginning with another, far less friendly run at Hudson. Ric pointed out that this hardly fits Sonny’s new life as a legitimate businessman. Sonny’s answer: Josslyn changed the game when she dragged Avery into it. He feels bad about what it will do to Carly, and he is going ahead anyway.

Down at the piers, Josslyn told her uncle Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) that she wants Sonny gone before anybody else gets hurt, and admitted the confrontation could not have gone worse. Lucas told her she did the right thing, and that Avery would one day see she never lied.

How Avery Ended Up in the Crossfire

On Monday, November 9, Josslyn turned up at Sonny’s house and laid out everything: the bug Ric planted in Hudson’s briefcase, the money Sonny dangled in front of Hudson, the piers, the attacks. Avery Corinthos (Ayla Bullington), in her first episode as the teenage Avery, listened from the hallway, called Josslyn a liar and said she hated her. Sonny threw Josslyn out. Our November 9 recap has every blow.

By Wednesday Sonny was asking Carly to rein her daughter in, then ordering eyes on Josslyn. On Thursday Avery poured it all out to her mother, Ava Jerome (Maura West), hoping to hear that Josslyn made it up. Ava told her not to believe a word, and Avery said she once thought Josslyn was cool but now sees a liar.

We Called It, and Hudson Is First in Line

Before the episode aired, our ranking put going easy on her at number one, built from Sonny Corinthos’s own words on October 15. That day he called Josslyn untouchable and told Ric any pressure had to stay within the law, the same day Ric planted the bug. On Thursday he admitted that restraint was the mistake.

Our number two, the piers, is still in play. Josslyn told Lucas she bought them to take them away from Sonny. On October 12 she cracked the Metro Court bidding system so Hudson could win them for JJE, which makes Hudson the man who placed the bid and the first name on Sonny’s list. One reader on our Facebook post about the bug called it: “Sonny is upset and wants his piers back.”

Jude, our number three, never came up. But Josslyn confronts Jude on Friday, and Sonny already tried to buy his help against her on November 5.

What Is Sonny’s Plan Against Josslyn on General Hospital?

Starve her of help at JJE, Hudson first. Nothing on screen points at Josslyn’s safety, and Ric, the lawyer in the room, is already worried about how it looks. Reading between the lines, Sonny Corinthos wants Josslyn running the company alone, and the piers are the prize he never stopped wanting. Ever since she found Sonny’s bug, she has been daring him to fight dirty. Keep our two weeks of General Hospital spoilers close.

Carly Sees the Danger Coming

Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) told Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) she has spent years making excuses for Sonny. Now he no longer sees her daughter as untouchable, and she fears he will retaliate. She has already lost one child, and her vow was simple: “I won’t lose another.”

Fans are split down the middle. In a Reddit thread asking why Josslyn hates Sonny, one fan wrote that she is “losing herself trying to get Sonny,” while others listed Morgan, Dex and Jax as reasons enough. Carly knows Sonny Corinthos better than anyone, and she is scared. That says plenty.

Sonny Just Ended His Own Truce With Josslyn

For weeks Sonny kept one hand tied behind his back where Josslyn was concerned. Monday cost him that patience, because the person who got hurt was his daughter. Now his brother is back in the room, Hudson is in the crosshairs and Carly is bracing for the worst.

Our call: Hudson is the first domino, and the piers are where it lands. Is Sonny protecting Avery or punishing Josslyn? Fight it out with us on our Facebook page.
