General Hospital‘s Carly has fallen for Valentin, and many of her loved ones are not happy about it. Sonny is at the top of that list, but it isn’t jealousy he is feeling; it is something different.
Key Takeaways
- Sonny and Carly have a strong bond.
- Sonny doesn’t approve of his ex’s new relationship with Valentin.
- Carly and Sonny are past the jealousy stage; he just doesn’t like or trust her new boyfriend.
The Bond Between Sonny And Carly
Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Carly (Laura Wright) have been through it all. They have been married and divorced multiple times, shared three children, sadly lost one of them, and have been there for each other every step of the way. The former couple has a strong bond that may have taken a few hits, but has never broken.
Sonny and Carly have had many other romantic partners along the way, and the other doesn’t often approve (surprise, surprise). In the past, this may have stemmed from jealousy, but they both seem to be over it now. They want the other to be safe and happy. Now, along comes Valentin (James Patrick Stuart).
The Valentin Factor
Sonny believes that Carly doesn’t choose the right men. She tends to put herself in dangerous situations, and he worries for her and their young daughter. This was his problem with Jack (Chris McKenna), and partly why he disapproves of Valentin.
Valentin does live a dangerous life, which is worrisome. He may be a free man now, but it is only a matter of time before he gets himself into another precarious situation. The thing is, Sonny is not one to talk, which Valentin made clear.
The bigger issue for Sonny is that he just plain dislikes Carly’s new boyfriend. He announced that Valentin helped Ava (Maura West) switch Sonny’s bipolar meds so that his mental health was in jeopardy. The former WSB agent didn’t deny it and actually apologized, but that is definitely not good enough. The mob boss doesn’t trust him, so he doesn’t want Carly with him or around Donna (Scarlett Spears). It isn’t jealousy, but this can cause conflict between them as things move forward.
Carly has a strong will and doesn’t listen to anyone. She is in deep with her new boyfriend, and there is nothing Sonny can do about it. It will be interesting to see what the future holds. Do you think this conflict will cause problems?
