General Hospital: Fans are up in arms and taking sides

General Hospital fans are passionate about the reveal that as Mike in Nixon Falls, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) fell in love with Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros). Viewers' opinions range from Carly beating the brakes off Nina to Sonny leaving his wife behind for the woman he found in Nixon Falls. Some fans blame Phyllis Caulfield for being subtle with Nina and not telling her to walk away. Following is a sample of what those who watch GH have been saying.

"Carly forgets that she had a part to play in all of this. She withheld the truth about Nelle from Nina the same way that Nina kept the truth about Sonny from her & the family. BOTH are wrong & 2 wrongs obviously ain't made this right."

"I have watched General Hospital for over 30 years...if they end Carly and Sonny I'm done!!"

"This whole story was nothing but one big sick fantasy, Nina is delusional and fell in love with a man that didn't exist, the immorality of Nina playing grandmother and friend while watching his family grieve, made me want to smack her myself!"

"GH has too much Carly. I have gotten to the point that I can't even watch her scenes. I'm tired of Sonny being written as the ultimate man at 52 and as a sanitized Mob boss who doesn't commit any crimes. I don't like new Nina who doesn't really work in the role IMO. I am over all three of these characters and have no interest in seeing any of them. I expect GH to be predictable and get Sonny & Nina to get together for awhile. Then there will be some sort of Mob threat or crisis that will reunite Carly & Sonny. I think the only thing that will change that is if FV decides to annoy fans even more and brings Wes Ramsey back as a new character/love interest for Carly. That would be another storyline and character I have ZERO interest in seeing. I'm really not happy with GH these days!"

"If they want to take another journey then do it but not making a sick liar the hero. She is not clearly and Nelle's mother so crazy Nelle comes from crazy Nina".

"I can't wait for Carly to snatch her bald."

"It isn’t Sonny’s fault. Carly should not be mad at him. What about her love for Jason ? Nina was going to tell Carly but Carly jumped all over her before she could get a word out. Nina kept asking Sonny if he wanted to know who he really was and she told him it couldn’t go any further until he knew who he was. And she was going to tell him but he remembered first."

General Hospital: Sonny and Nina were inevitable

Executive producer Frank Valentini may have given the biggest clue of all as to what GH viewers can expect as he said the following in a Tweet. “Willow, under oath, drives a car through what’s left of Carly and Sonny’s relationship. Is this a win for Nina?”

Some who watch General Hospital have been addressing this for the past 9 months and have always believed that eventually Sonny and Nina would hit the sheets. The writers obviously did not want it to happen in Nixon Falls when Sonny did not realize his true identity. Now that Carly has kicked him out of the house he will probably turn to Nina who will welcome him with open arms.

General Hospital actors speak out

Maurice Benard has addressed disgruntled fans on more than one occasion and tried to calm their ire. Carlson devotees are loyal and seem to be taking this situation personally. Those who are in favor of a Sonny and Nina hook-up are doing the same. Benard wants everyone to keep a cool head and emphasized that change is a part of daytime and the growth of the characters. He may also have seen the handwriting on the wall and been trying to ease the transition for those who watch the ABC soap.

Laura Wright has been retweeting posts from fans who want to see her character get physical with Nina so it looks like she is OK with the storyline. Should Sonny and Nina get together it probably will not last and he will find his way back to Carly as he has done in the past. This is daytime and not real life and the writers obviously like to mix it up every now and then. Viewers who are swearing off on the show never to watch it again should keep this in mind.
