Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) is viewed as a family man by half of Port Charles. The other half sees a ruthless mobster. As for the audience, the same applies. GH fans are split between adoring the loving father and honorable man that is Sonny Corinthos, and the fearsome gangster.
Retrospectively, there’s no doubt about Sonny’s long history of good and bad. While some remember the good and the bad, others only remember the bad. GH recaps recall the time when Sonny shot Dante Falconeri. Unbeknownst to Sonny, his old girlfriend Olivia Falconeri (Lisa LoCicero) gave birth to a baby boy. Many years later Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) showed up in Port Charles. He was an undercover cop, and Sonny didn’t know he had a so. Suddenly, one thing led to another and Sonny shot Dante! Mr. Corinthos had almost killed his own son and didn’t even know it.
