Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) always had a mutual respect for one another due to the fact that Nikolas was engaged to Sonny’s late sister, Courtney Matthews (Alicia Leigh Willis).
Nikolas and Courtney’s son Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) loves his uncle Sonny and the feeling is reciprocated. Sonny looks after his nephew, offering his protection and anything he may need. Lately Sonny and Nikolas haven’t been getting along, mainly after Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) drove a wedge between them with her lies and schemes. The tension between them also stems from Ava Jerome’s (Maura West) connection to Sonny as being the mother of one of his children, Avery. Ava and Nikolas share custody of Avery with Sonny. Even Carly has a hand in raising Sonny and Ava’s little girl.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Sonny and Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) will butt heads- a power struggle may be on the forefront, and Victor may not want Sonny in his way. It looks like Sonny may be gearing up to protect Ava regarding her situation with Esme flying off the parapet. Victor’s dislike for Ava is apparent, and he only agreed to protect her because Nikolas convince him to do so.
General Hospital rumors suggest, now that Ava and Nikolas are on the outs, her story about Esme won’t necessarily be backed up. Victor and Nikolas most likely won’t be protecting her story if she’s turned her back on Nikolas. Which leaves Sonny. It’s possible that Sonny will want to protect the mother of his child, especially knowing how much trouble Esme has caused. He sees Victor as a threat and will get to warn Nikolas to not be so trusting of his Uncle Victor. Will Nikolas listen to Sonny or dismiss his warning?
