Why The Marino Mystery Is ALL Sorts of Wrong On General Hospital

It was bad enough when the brilliantly-written and performed Mike Alzheimer’s story was invaded by the mob on General Hospital.

But considering Sonny began suspecting something was wrong with his dad because he was performing his “bag man” duties wrong, we should have seen this coming.

While Mike’s Alzheimer’s story still breaks our hearts, it was tainted a long time ago by the ‘Buried Body In Croton Story,’ which is now the ‘Vincent Marino And His Wife Were Bad So Shooting People Is OK story’ and there are so many things wrong with it, we don’t know where to start. But here goes!

First, let’s go for the most obvious story inconsistency here. At first, Sonny had ONLY buried the dead body in a field in Croton on orders of Joe Scully. It was his very first buried body in a field.

Now, out of nowhere, it seems Sonny also pulled the trigger in another first for the aspiring mobster.

We’ll try to let that one go since this is the same soap that wants us to believe Anna slept with Faison and gave birth to his child.

However, we can’t let go of the fact that this is now a story about saving Sonny from the big, bad Margaux (who is really quite small and likes baseball like normal people).

Sure, it’s kinda mean of her to keep Drew’s flash drive full of memories from him. But it’s also kinda mean of the writers to keep the flash drive full of memories from us and drag this stupid story out for a year.

Now, Jason and Sam’s live revolve around finding dirt on the Marino family so mean, mean, mean Margaux leaves poor criminal Sonny alone. Why should he have to ever pay for making a career out of breaking the law?

Sure, this is a soap and sure, Sonny is a popular character. But he is also a mobster and kills and threatens to kill with little forethought. Let’s not lose sight of that. Even Sonny hasn’t lost sight of that. He said himself he is the one who pulled the trigger, even if Margaux’s mother asked for the hit.

So, if Sonny knows this, why is Margaux made out to be the town pariah for being a prosecutor who wants to make a criminal pay for his crimes? Even the ominous music played whenever Sonny laments how he has to save his family tells us how we are supposed to feel here.

The problem is, we don’t feel it. Nothing. Not an ounce of sympathy. We could have had a fantastic story for Sonny and the entire Corinthos clan this year. Not one tainted by a whole lotta nonsense filled with characters we hardly know.
