Kristina Joins The Mob With Sonny. Like father, like daughter! At least that’s what they say anyways. Often times little girls grow up idolizing their father. Daddy’s little girl holds a special place in a father’s eyes, and creates a life long bond between a father and daughter. Fortunately, Sonny and Kristina have a solid relationship.

General Hospital recaps highlight the nature of Sonny and Kristina’s relationship. Over the years the Port Charles mobster has revealed his softer side. He’s a family man by nature, but his work brings out the cunning business man in him. Together, Sonny’s good heart and fearsome business tactics make for an ominous atmosphere. The ones closest to him are those who are the most in danger. That’s because anyone that gets too close to Sonny runs a higher risk of becoming collateral damage- or a straight up victim.

Ultimately, being kidnapped, assaulted, or worse is not out of the norm if you mean something to Sonny. That’s why he’s always stressed about not wanting his children near the business. Michael came the closest to joining the mob, and still displays mob-like behavior when necessary.

Meanwhile, General Hospital spoilers tease that Sonny has to worry about Kristina now that she wants in. They both want Ava to pay for what she’s done. Will this father/daughter duo work side by side as mobsters in Port Charles?

At 8 months pregnant, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) and TJ’s (Tajh Bellow) surrogate suffered devastating injuries. Later, Molly, TJ, and Kristina learned that the baby girl she was carrying didn’t make it.

General Hospital spoilers tease that Ava Jerome (Maura West) is in hot water. Currently, the ex-mobster sits in Pentonville awaiting her fate. Ava is the prime suspect in the death of an unborn baby after Kristina’s body was launched out of a Metro Court hotel room window. Thankfully, Sonny’s daughter survived. However, the family is devastated after losing Sonny’s granddaughter.

According to GH recaps, Agent Cates conspires with Ava to put an end to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Meanwhile, the FBI Agent is hell bent on nailing Sonny despite Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) warning. She advised Agent John Cates against getting into bed with Ms. Jerome.

Sonny may be the most prominent mobster in Port Charles, but Ava is a former mobster as well. In fact, she knows how to fight dirty. Furthermore, she has always played dirty. So, how is anyone supposed to trust her after everything they she’s done?!

General Hospital Spoilers: Take The GH Blog Poll- Who Is Carly’s Endgame?!

Who Is Carly’s Endgame?

GH fans want to know, Who Is Carly’s Endgame? Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) has a long history of love and loyalty with her two main men. Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) both hold the highest rank in Carly’s life as her most trusted supporters. Although Sonny and Carly are no longer married, they’ve gotten to a good place with one another.

General Hospital spoilers tease that Carly will always depend on Sonny and Jason to do right by her. Just the same as they trust that Carly does right by them. But which man will have her heart forever?

Sonny and Carly have been through thick and thin. They share children and have experienced the loss of a child. There’s no doubt that Sonny and Carly have a legendary love story. On the other hand, Jason has (almost) always been in the friend zone while walking through the fire for each other.

According to GH history, Carly had her eyes on Jason even before she and Sonny fell into their epic romance. So, now that Carly’s no longer married to Sonny, will this be her chance with Jason? He’s back and unattached, and gave up his life for Carly. Would Sonny ever do that?
