We’re still relatively surprised that General Hospital’s Sonny (Maurice Benard) actually murdered John Cates (Adam J. Harrington). Yes, John’s relentless pursuit of putting Sonny behind bars caused him to cross the line and prosecute an innocent Kristina (Kate Mansi), even as she recovered from losing her baby. Plus, John’s blackmail of Jason (Steve Burton) was reprehensible. However, at the end of the day, John was a federal agent with the FBI, and Sonny shooting him in cold blood was too bold of a move that could land the dimpled kingpin in prison for the rest of his life.
In the aftermath of the shooting, Sonny has worked with Michael (Chad Duell) and Carly (Laura Wright) to mitigate the situation. Michael cleaned up the bullet casings and Carly provided him with an alibi, letting people think the two of them were sleeping together and thereby unable to be at the scene of the crime. But even with Michael and Carly helping, we’re not sure this will be enough to save Sonny.
