General Hospital spoilers suggest the stakes are sky-high in Port Charles as Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) could be left scrambling to shield Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) from a triple threat: his risky setup of Natalia Ramirez (Eva LaRue), Jenz Sidwell’s (Carlo Rota) relentless targeting, and ADA Justine Turner’s (Nazneen Contractor) aggressive legal pursuit.
With Sonny’s setup of Natalia’s new life to neutralize her backfiring in his face with her death, Sidwell’s power grab escalating after the Charlie’s Pub firebombing, and Turner closing in with evidence to dismantle his empire, Carly’s loyalty is bound to end up in overdrive.
Could her next plan to save Sonny involve a fake marriage to present a united front, echoing their past ploys? Will fans endure another staged union to keep Sonny free, or is there a different play in the works?
Sonny’s Triple Threat Pushes Carly’s Limits
Sonny’s calculated move to frame Natalia’s future, aiming to silence her, has unraveled, with her drunken tirade at Daisy Corinthos Gilmore’s (Levi Clark Coughlin) christening and subsequent suicide — fueling Turner’s case.
Sidwell’s attacks, including the unsolved penthouse bombing, signal his intent to seize Sonny’s piers, while Turner’s impending evidence threatens jail time.
Carly, ever his ride-or-die, might propose a fake marriage to project stability, as we’ve seen so many times before. Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy) might resort to this suggestion again, but will Sonny agree, or push for a riskier counter strike?
A Fake Marriage Could Save the Day?
Carly’s history of faux unions with Sonny makes this a plausible tactic. By remarrying, they could sway public perception and weaken Turner’s case, especially if Carly spins it as a family-first move for Avery Corinthos (Ava and Grace Scarola).
But her budding romance with WSB Chief Jack Brennan (Chris Mckenna) serves as a major complication. No way would he understand, and she couldn’t possibly tell him her true motivations, even if he could guess.
If Carly and Sonny stage a wedding, will it fool Turner and Sidwell, or backfire, drawing scrutiny from the WSB and Police Commissioner Anna Devane (Finola Hughes)?
Fans Brace for Another Ploy
A fake marriage could stabilize Sonny’s empire, shielding him from Turner’s prosecution and Sidwell’s aggression, but it risks alienating Carly’s new paramour.
We expect many fans wouldn’t be on board with this charade, though we are more than ready for Sonny to find love again — just not at Carly’s personal expense.
