Longtime General Hospital viewers were left stunned when it was revealed that Sonny Corinthos would be undergoing surgery. The fan-favorite character, known for his resilience, is now headed for heart surgery, reviving old fears and memories from a traumatic event that nearly cost him his life 25 years ago.
Sonny’s surgery and death scare on General Hospital explained
Sonny Corinthos is facing a life-or-death situation on General Hospital as he undergoes emergency heart surgery in Los Angeles. The mob boss has been hiding a serious condition linked to shrapnel from a decades-old gunshot wound—and now, his past is catching up with him in the most dangerous way.
Back in 2000, Sonny was shot outside the police station by Sorel, a hitman determined to destroy his reputation. Though he survived, the bullet left shrapnel in his heart, which has now caused life-threatening complications. His doctor explains that the upcoming procedure will repair the damage, but the risks are high, especially with enemies lurking.
Carly, who stood by Sonny during his near-fatal shooting 25 years ago, refuses to let history repeat itself. She reminds him of how he flatlined back then and how she fought to keep him alive. Now, she’s demanding he do the same. Sonny reassures her, but the tension is palpable as he’s wheeled into surgery in General Hospital.
Furthermore, just as viewers were starting to hope for a safe recovery, General Hospital dropped a sneak peek. In the upcoming episode, a mysterious woman sneaks into Sonny’s hospital room while he’s sedated, syringe in hand. As she approaches, Sonny’s eyes snap open. Whether he can stop the attack in time remains uncertain. This dramatic cliffhanger suggests that Sonny’s enemies may have found out about his condition. Rumors point to Natalia or her ex, Jenz Sidwell, as possible culprits.
