Between General Hospital’s Michael (Chad Duell) near-death explosion, Sonny’s (Maurice Benard) heart issues and the recent attempt on Sonny’s life as he lay in a hospital bed recovering from heart surgery, Sonny has been incredibly motivated to leave behind a life of organized crime. Plus, the Dimpled Kingpin has a good memory of all he and his family have lost, thanks to the enemies that he’s acquired due to his line of work.
Unfortunately for Sonny, and his bestie Jason (Steve Burton) for that matter, getting out of the mob isn’t exactly like retiring from your usual 9 to 5. As has been said a few times on the soap, they have to get out of the business in a way that doesn’t leave their families vulnerable to attack, and them defenseless without the power that comes with being a crime boss. Then in the General Hospital episode airing on May 9, Sidwell (Carla Rota) arrived at Sonny’s house with Jordan (Tanisha Harper) and offered a proposition.
