Sonny Corinthos Faces Tough Choices: Could He and Carly End Up in Prison on General Hospital?

The drama on ABC’s long-running soap opera General Hospital is heating up, and fans are in for some emotional twists. Sonny Corinthos (played by Maurice Benard) finds himself at a pivotal moment, forced to confront his past crimes while trying to protect those he loves. New spoilers suggest that Sonny may finally face prison time for the murder of John Kates—setting off a series of events that could impact not just him but his ex-wife Carly Corinthos Spencer (Laura Wright) as well.

Sonny’s Difficult Decision to Confess

Sonny has always lived by a code: protect his family, no matter the cost. But in recent developments, his loyalty is being tested like never before. He confided in Carly Corinthos, explaining that if Martin Gray (Michael E. Knight) cannot prove Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) innocent, Sonny will turn himself in for the murder of John Kates. Sonny is determined to ensure that Alexis doesn’t go to prison for a crime he committed, especially since Alexis is ready to sacrifice herself to protect their daughter.

Adding to the tension, Sonny also revealed to Jason Morgan that if Alexis can’t escape the charges, he has no choice but to take the blame. For Sonny, the stakes couldn’t be higher, and it seems his mind is made up. He gives his lawyer, Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy), new instructions, indicating that he’s preparing for the possibility of going to trial. If that happens, the consequences could be devastating, both for Sonny and everyone connected to him.

A Chain of Investigations and Betrayals

As the plot thickens, more people become involved in uncovering Sonny’s secrets. Alexis’ daughter, Molly Lansing Davis (Kristen Vaganos), is determined to expose Sonny’s guilt to save her mother. Molly has even convinced Commissioner Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) to investigate Sonny, and it seems she might team up with Molly to search for concrete evidence against him. With so many threats closing in, Sonny’s luck may finally run out.

In addition to Molly and Anna’s investigation, Martin Gray is set on blowing up Sonny’s alibi, believing it’s the only way to clear Alexis’ name. The mounting pressure from multiple sides puts Sonny in a vulnerable position, where even his closest allies could turn against him.

Carly’s Risky Involvement

Sonny’s ex-wife, Carly Corinthos Spencer, is also caught in the crossfire. She gave Sonny an alibi for the murder of John Kates without hesitation, but now her actions could land her in legal trouble as well. Carly’s unwavering loyalty to Sonny complicates her situation further. To support him, she has put her personal life on hold, pretending they are back together. However, this ruse may come back to haunt her, as authorities begin to scrutinize her involvement.

If Sonny ends up confessing, Carly could face charges for aiding him and obstructing justice. Despite her loyalty, Carly is starting to question whether standing by Sonny is worth the risk. Her love for him has always been strong, but she now finds herself trapped in a situation where doing the right thing could lead to her own downfall.

Tensions Rise Between Sonny and Carly

The strain of Sonny’s decision to confess is causing tension between him and Carly. In a heated confrontation, Carly makes it clear that if Sonny follows through with his plan to admit guilt, she will go down with him. Her frustration with Sonny’s sudden desire to do the “noble thing” erupts, as she struggles to balance her loyalty with self-preservation. Carly’s anger stems from the realization that their children could lose both parents if they are imprisoned.

Despite Carly’s objections, Sonny remains resolute. His primary concern is protecting Alexis and ensuring their daughter, Kristina Corinthos (Kate Mansi), doesn’t lose her mother. For Sonny, family comes first—even if it means sacrificing his freedom and putting Carly in jeopardy.

What’s Next for Sonny and Carly on General Hospital?

As Sonny gets his affairs in order, Diane Miller grows increasingly worried. His lawyer knows the risks involved in his decision and fears that he might not survive the legal battle. Meanwhile, Anna Devane’s investigation into Carly raises the stakes even higher. With the walls closing in, both Sonny and Carly could end up behind bars, facing a grim future in Pentonville prison.

General Hospital fans are on the edge of their seats as these developments unfold. Will Sonny’s confession be enough to save Alexis? And if he turns himself in, will Carly be dragged down with him? The drama is building toward a climax that promises to deliver shocking consequences for everyone involved.

Tune in to General Hospital to see how Sonny’s story plays out—will he do the right thing, or will the cost be too high for him and Carly? One thing is certain: the road ahead is full of twists and heartbreak, keeping fans glued to every episode.
