General Hospital spoilers say that it’s a love triangle like nothing that we’ve seen before. Actor Maurice Benard, who plays Sonny Corinthos on the hit ABC soap, recently weighed in on what’s next between his character, his lover Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) and his estranged wife Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright). Here’s what he has to say!
General Hospital Spoilers: Maurice Benard Weighs In On What’s Next Between Sonny, Nina And Carly
As many General Hospital fans already know by now, Sonny and Carly’s marriage certainly reached a breaking point after Carly caught Sonny in bed with Nina. When asked how he has approached playing the aftermath of this all, Maurice explained, “I thought the scenes we had after [Carly catches Sonny with Nina] were great scenes, because he’s trying to apologize and she was just, you know, coming at him. I decided, ‘I’m just going to fight now, just like old Sonny,’ and we both just went off on each other. It was great! It was vicious.”
He continued, “I did some scenes yesterday with Cynthia that probably weren’t as great as I think they are, but what we were doing was subtle, man, and I was like, ‘Yes. This is like movie acting!’ I told Cynthia, and I think I told Frank [Valentini, executive producer], ‘Our relationship is like Robert De Niro and Sharon Stone in Casino.’ I don’t think Robert De Niro played as much love in that relationship, I think he just played control, whereas in this situation, I’m like that but I also care about her, even though I’m trying hard not to act like it. But it’s cool! She gives it right back to me. She’s just a real actress and it’s fun.”
General Hospital Spoilers: What’s Next For Sonny?
When asked if he and actress Cynthia Watros talked before they filmed their lovemaking scene, Maurice said rather bluntly, “In the scene, they wanted me to hold onto her a long time. I said, ‘Frank, that don’t work. That’s too long. I don’t want to look like a crazed animal.’ Too much is too much, you know? The great thing about Cynthia is, I’ve been talking to her about stuff since Nixon Falls. What I said to Cynthia [when we started working together] was, ‘Here’s the deal, Cynthia. I don’t know if this is going to work. Actually, I think it’s not, because I don’t think the audience is going to buy this. So let’s have fun, let’s just do the best we can, I’ll play this cowboy and you fall in love and we’ll just have a great time.’ And I think that helped, because there was no pressure. I think also, you know, we did have a certain chemistry that was sweet, because that was Mike.”

They need to bring Jason back for Carly
Carly needs a rich, very handsome man in her life, someone she can have fun with and let Sonny and Nina go their way back to Nixon Falls!!
I have watched General Hospital and over the years have not always agreed with the plot but Nina/Sonny crap has me fast forward every time him and her appear i know you really dont care but this crap is what makes me piy an end to even watching more
Carly is too good for Sonny now that he choose trash. She needs to move on with someone new. Psycho Nina needs to go away and I am no longer a fan of Sonny. It’s the first time ever I have fast forwarded thrust Sonny and I have watched since 1970
Sonny, get rid of Nina….she is a selfish evil person. Look what she did to your family for 9 months. She had plenty of opportunity to tell anyone, even if she didn’t want to tell Carly, there were others….and she didn’t. Go back to Carly, win her over again……hell all you have to do is show those dimples. love you Sonny, have for many many years, don’t disappointment with Nina…..Yay Carly
I don’t care far sonny and Nina I fast forward to get past them they make me won’t to throw up 🤮
Agree
Agree, I’m very disappointed to say the least, that NINNY is even a thing! Pissed that the writers seem hell bent to destroy the character of Sonny! Get him professional help. When he gets some help and start thinking right, Nina will be gone with the wind as she should be. 😁
I don’t see any chemistry between Nina and Sonny. I see a family destroyed by a someone who chose not to tell a man who he was, that’s malicious intent.
Fast forward any time they r together. Its so hard to watch. The writers r trying to force the two of them on us.
Sonny & Nina so predictable. Every time he is in the bar you know Nina is right behind. Since when does Sonny need her to drive him home. What happened to his body guards and driver?
