Maurice Benard, who played Sonny Corinthos on ABC’s General Hospital, is the one name that has come to be associated with the show. On August 13, 2023, the dimpling don first appeared in Port Charles. Maurice will thus reach the enormous milestone of finishing three decades on the soap in just a few days! His mob activities and turbulent personal life have been two aspects of him that have dominated fans’ hearts for the past three decades!
Sonny has had many love interests over the years on General Hospital. The most prominent ones being, Brenda Barrett, Carly Spencer and Nina Reeves. However, in a recent chat with SOD, Maurice Benard shed some light on one romance that he personally enjoyed the most! The short lived one between Sonny and Alexis, which of course, resulted in the birth of their daughter, Kristina. Maurice raved that Nancy (Alexis) is very talented, quick and has a terrific sense of humor. “I was really into that relationship,” he divulged.
We now understand that Sonny and Nina on General Hospital are truly in peril. She has made absolutely no progress in eliminating the SEC leak as a danger to their relationship. Therefore, it appears inevitable that her relationship with Sonny would end once that reality comes to light. Continuing along those lines, there have been numerous rumors regarding Sonny’s potential next love affair. Of course, Carly was the name that stood out the most. But it appears like Maurice has just given us a different choice! Alexis!
There is no doubt that Sonny and Alexis have chemistry on General Hospital. Moreover, their daughter, Kristina, also has been getting a lot of airtime these days! Speaking of Kristina, she has always rooted for Sonny and Nina, so it will be very interesting to watch how she reacts when that relationship goes kapoot, and her own bio-parents start reconnecting. In fact, for all we know, Kristina could actually be the reason why Sonny and Alexis start spending time together in the first place!
On General Hospital right now, Kristina has openly offered to be Molly and TJ’s surrogate. If the plot twists in that direction, Kristina might assume that role. Her life will undoubtedly take many unexpected turns. Being the devoted father he is, Sonny would undoubtedly be there for his daughter. This familial turmoil might be the spark that rekindles the smoldering romance between Sonny and Alexis! What say you?
