General Hospital Spoilers: Sonny’s Heart Fails – How Will Monica’s Cardiac Center Handle Its First Case?
General Hospital spoilers and updates tease that Sonny Corinthos (Maurce Benard) is facing heart issues and delaying the necessary surgery, but he might not have much time left—emergency surgery could be imminent.
He has a strong possibility of being the first patient to receive critical care at the Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson) Cardiac Center at GH.
Sonny’s Heart Issues-A Race Against Time!
Sonny has been dealing with heart issues for several months now-he experienced some chest pain episodes, but it was a serious incident at Volonino’s gym that caused him to receive medical help.
Dr. Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) examined Sonny, having found him on the floor and prescribed medication to manage his heart episodes. With the support of Dr. Gannon and Natalia Ramirez (Eva LaRue), they persuaded Sonny to finally consult a heart specialist.
Brick (Stephen A. Smith) arranged for Sonny to see a cardiologist in LA, ensuring that his mob rivals wouldn’t catch wind of his health problems, He knew that any sign of weakness could put him and others in danger from his mobbed up enemies.
Keeping It Under The Radar
He had to keep things discreet, but he, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), and Brick could only manage that for a limited time. Sonny’s heart issues stem from a gunshot wound to the chest he suffered years ago, and the doctor has advised that Sonny requires surgery within the next three months.
That deadline is approaching, but with Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) injured in the penthouse explosion, Sonny’s attention has been primarily on that.
He informed Jason that he won’t proceed with the surgery until he discovers who was responsible for the bomb in his penthouse and for Michael’s severe injuries.
Sonny is determined to see that person face consequences before he seeks treatment and he also understands the need to remove the threat to ensure his family’s safety.
Sonny Is Supposed To Avoid Stress
He will only feel ready for surgery once he ensures his family’s safety and avenges Michael. In the meantime, he needs to avoid stress, which is easier said than done, right; his arguments with Ava Jerome (Maura West) have already caused two episodes.
The latest one happened after Kristina-Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi) got him agitated and pressured him to confront Ava about her finances.
When Sonny collapsed in front of Ava, she realized his health problem was serious. This made her see a chance for custody, just as Sonny viewed Ava’s financial troubles as an opportunity, so they are both taking advantage of each other.
Kristina’s Actions Impact Sonny As Well As Others
Brick is very curious about Sonny’s situation-at the same time, Jason is pressuring Sonny to undergo surgery; Sonny believes he has more time, but that time is quickly running out.
A cardiac crisis is likely to occur during the May sweeps, and it’s approaching fast. Kristina is in a downward spiral, and she might actually be the cause of Sonny’s heart issues; he can’t afford to delay any longer before he needs urgent surgery.
Kristina attempted to harm Ava by tampering with her brakes, but instead, she almost ended up killing Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) and Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst).
Ric is still battling for his life; it’s well-known that Sonny and Ric despise each other, so Sonny likely wouldn’t be too upset if Ric didn’t survive the crash. Nevertheless, Sonny mentioned that he hopes Ric is alright for the sake of Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos).
Sooner Or Later, Kristina Will Be Exposed
It won’t be long before Kristina is revealed as an attempted murderer; Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson) is aware that she tampered with the brake lines. A police investigation into the accident should be taking place, especially after Liz and Ric speak with the authorities and disclose that his brakes failed unexpectedly.
Lucky might feel compelled to tell the truth about the situation, and Liz could encourage him to do so, understanding that Kristina’s obsession with Ava is dangerously unstable and she needs help.
Remember, Kristina tried to manipulate Elizabeth into claiming that Ava was attempting to kidnap her daughter, but Elizabeth firmly stated that wasn’t the case. Once it becomes known that Kristina committed this terrible act and could face serious prison time, it will deeply affect Sonny.
It’s Only A Matter Of Time
In the worst scenario, Kristina could end up in Pentonville, though more favorable alternatives would be a mental health stay at Ferncliff or Shadybrook.
However, it’s hard to believe that Sonny’s daughter will escape scot-free, especially once Molly learns that her sister nearly killed her father due to her lack of self-control and absence of accountability.
The pressure on Sonny could become overwhelming if Kristina is arrested and prosecuted, which might be too much for his already fragile heart.
This situation seems to be leading to a significant breakdown for Sonny, potentially resulting in a serious cardiac event or even complete heart failure. Kristina’s actions could trigger a major health crisis for her dad, triggering a major heart attack.
Sonny’s Heart Crisis And The Opening Of The Cardiac Wing-Coincidence?
While Sonny is dealing with a heart crisis, the new cardiac center named after Monica, a leading cardiac surgeon and former chief of staff, has just opened.
This timing is quite intriguing considering Sonny’s health issues on GH-the recent chaos caused by Kristina has put Rick’s life at risk, and Sonny’s life may also be in jeopardy. Kristina could end up being the reason both her father and Molly’s father are facing serious health threats.
Although Sonny has been planning his heart surgery, he wants to choose when it happens, but it seems less likely that he will have that option. This is why Jason continues to urge him to act; it’s clear that the situation is not going to end well, and Sonny might even collapse from the pressure.
Time Is Of The Essence, No Time For A Trip To LA
There might not be enough time to take him to the specialist in LA for the scheduled procedure; Sonny may have to be rushed into the new cardiac wing for immediate surgery. A shocking twist in this story could be if Sonny’s heart is so severely damaged that he requires a transplant; picture this: Ric dies, allowing Sonny to receive his brother’s heart.
Just think about how much Molly would resent Kristina in that scenario, not to mention Sonny and Ric have always had a strained relationship.
It would be incredibly difficult for Sonny to live with the fact that he survived thanks to Ric’s heart. It would serve as a painful reminder of the brother he can’t stand and the reality that his daughter could be charged with his premeditated murder!
The Davis Family Irreparably Damaged
Molly could easily accuse Kristina of sabotaging Ric’s brake lines to kill him, even though she was targeting Ava. Before everything concludes, whether Ric survives or dies, or if Sonny ends up needing emergency surgery, it’s possible that Kristina could experience a total breakdown.
Fans generally want Ric to make it through, as many adore Rick Hearst, but Ric has been absent for so long that they might consider him expendable.
We are also creating a situation that could lead to a lasting divide among the surviving Davis sisters; Molly might never forgive Kristina, even if Ric does pull through.
Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) will realize she can no longer excuse Kristina’s terrible behavior, as doing so might cause Molly to cut ties with her mother for good.
Molly Will Want Her Sister To Pay, Sonny’s Cardiac Crisis Will Change Everything
As soon as it comes to light that Kristina tampered with Ric’s brake lines, Molly might take it upon herself to ensure her sister faces the consequences of her actions.
Tensions are escalating, creating a sense of impending chaos. With Sonny’s heart problems and the situation at the cardiac center, lives are on the brink of transformation.
Stay tuned for Sonny’s looming cardiac emergency to find out if he becomes the inaugural patient at the Monica Quartermaine Cardiac Care Center.
