‘General Hospital’ Fans Says Sonny Corinthos Is Ruining The Show
General Hospital ratings have been in a free fall for months. Some longtime viewers say that Sonny Corinthos is ruining the show. Keep reading for more.
Adam J. Harrington Says Goodbye To General Hospital
Adam J. Harrington joined General Hospital as a recast John “Jagger” Cates in February. The return of the former Port Charles resident was a complete surprise to fans and to the fictional Sonny Corinthos, as well.
Now going by his first name, John Cates was back in town with a vendetta against the mobster. He wanted Sonny to pay for his crimes against his late wife, Karen. Sonny gave Karen a job at his strip club when she was underage and got her hooked on drugs. Jagger blamed him for ruining Karen’s life.
Now an FBI agent, John Cates enlisted (blackmailed) Sonny’s former right-hand man, Jason Morgan, to help take down Sonny. Jagger’s latest plan was to get to Sonny through his daughter, Kristina. However, Sonny took care of that plan by shooting Jagger dead in a tense confrontation.
Adam J. Harrington was only on GH for six months but quickly won over viewers who weren’t keen on a Jagger recast. He took to his Twitter to bid farewell to fans. The actor thanked his fans and said it was an honor to work on the daytime soap. “I will miss you all,” he wrote.
Well @GeneralHospital it was a BLAST, literally!
To @valentinifrank, producers and writers. Thank you for the SHOT at joining your world. I loved it.
To the phenomenal cast and crew. It was a honor to witness the CALIBER of your work.
Now, seriously,
I will miss you all.

Fans Says Sonny Corinthos Is Ruining The Show
A fed up GH fan took to social media to vent about the mob violence. “Wth are these writers thinking? Who wants to see shootings on a soap when we have more than enough of that in real life? Soaps should be a fun escape,” they wrote.”
They added, “I keep tabs on the show because GH used to be soooo good, but Sonny Corinthos has become the undoing of a once-great show.”

Other GH fans shared similar opinions:
- “I wish we could go back to the old GH days before Sonny. This mob storyline has been going on so long. Sonny is given a free pass for every murder and the show revolves around him.”
- “It is like everyone in Port Charles is under some spell where it is ok to go around killing people.”
- “It’s tiring watching Sonny getting away with literal murder over and over again and Jason and Carly defending him. I loved Jossyln telling Carly off it’s something she needs to hear.”
- “I can’t even watch this storyline knowing Sonny is most likely gonna get away with murdering a federal agent.”
General Hospital is regularly behind Y&R and B&B in the ratings battle. Do you agree that Sonny Corinthos is ruining ABC’s last remaining soap?

Yes Sonny and Carly have to be in everyone else’s business. It should be called the Sonny and Carly and everyone else show. Can’t believe the writers Always have a storyline for Sonny while others do NOT. It was like that when I used to watch it. So YES
1love sonny and carley together why I love general hospital. please stop trying to get ris of sonny and carley because you are in the minority.
Sonny is the highlight of the show…….Jason too. I love this soap, always have for years and years. thank heavens it’s still on. I get an hour break each M-F at 2 pm to watch GH, drink iced tea and have a snack. I love GH and all the main characters. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
While M.B. is a extremely talented man, I would like to see less of him on the show. It seems all the writers want to write about are stories that have Sonny or Carly in them. Let’s see more of the other characters that add so much to the show such as Maxie, Dante, Cody and Sasha. These characters seem to get the short end of the straw.
I agree that GH needs some very serious improvements. The mob storyline is ridiculous Jason is annoying wearing the same black t shirt every single day p eeew. people keep complaining about the mob well what do you all expect from a badly written soap that had a woman marry her rapist. A rapist that the whole town love. Not even the cancelled soaps were this horrible and unwatchable lately I’ve been watching the cancelled soaps on YouTube thank goodness for YouTube. I do still watch all four of the current ones out of habit because I’ve been watching daytime since the early 80s. But they are all ( the four remaining shows are pretty hard to watch) I can only hope that the brand new soap the gates isn’t this bad and unwatchable.
omg you people are so ridiculous!! it’s so freaking show, sorry is everyone suppose to stop showing people being killed because it happens in real life. That’s why it’s called a soap opera and Sonny and Jason are the main reason I watch the show for over 35 years. If you are a real fan then you watch it enjoy it and shut up!! or else go watch something else. How lame do you guys sound acting like it’s a real show and Jason wearing black all the time he looks fine just the way he is, that’s why I stay wearing black!!!
Go watch something else then. The Sonny character has been around a long time and is the reason I watch. He never just ran around town indiscriminately killing people. The writers have ruined this show.
Disney ruined this show!!!
Leave Sonny & Carley alone! However, we do need another Central Family to wreak havoc on Port Charles such as the Cassadines!. they were characters we loved to hate and I miss Nicholas and Ava’s explosive relationship. I missed the electricity that villains like Helena and other Cassadines (not Valentine) bring to the table. We need electricity, more action & intricate storylines that don’t necessarily involve Sonny but he is needed and is a staple! I love all the characters on GH as they make up the back stories of Port Chuck but frankly, they are just plain old scene fillers, BORING! Elizabeth hasn’t had an interesting or exciting story and ages. I don’t care what anyone says but she had no chemistry with Franco and definitely not Finn, I hope Lucky’s return can make her interesting to watch! Porcha & Curtis, boring, Love Sascha but her & Cody are boring too!
I wouldn’t say Sonny is ruining the show. I can’t believe they have him killing Cates on Quartermaine property with everyone at the main house. that doesn’t seem like something that’s Sonny would normally do. I’m just not happy with the writing in general. And I don’t like the Kristina, Molly beef. And why bring Ric in the picture.
I love Sonny,Carly and Jason when I hear Jason was coming back I was excited.
I don’t like how Mr sanctimonious Drew treats Jason like he has the plague.He forget Jason save his miserable life.
He is doing the nasty with Nina while pinning for her daughter,his nephew’s wife.
Did he ever thanked Jason?
it’s not Sonny. it’s uninspired writers.
Right Sonny is a very good actor
Sonny is it ruining the show the writers are they should’ve never had him kill Cates that was just a sloppy easy ending with no imagination freaking ridiculous. they should’ve had Christina kill him then they could’ve went with the whole postpartum depression, defense or something like that agent or someone else.
What happened to love on daytime? That’s what the soaps used to be about. GH was centered around the hospital back when we had Dr Steve Hardy, Jeff Webber, Rick Webber, and the Quartermains. we had the nurses always at the nurses station. this show was about love and somewhat similar to Grey’s Anatomy now it’s just a full-blown mobster show. we may as well be watching Law and Order or some of the other night time crime shows. This no longer appear to be a soap opera
Ok, then let’s compromise!
Bring Back Port Charles, make it the Godfather Sonny Mob Boss, Espionage, Spy Games, rescue Lucky & everybody else show…….
and make General Hospital the strictly hospital, Deception, you slept with my sister show!
🤷🏻♂️
Wrong! Sonny (Maurice) is greatness in action & makes the show so intriguing. He’s kind & gentle until you mess with his family. love him! Expand his role. Name of show is G.H., so give him a role there … to shut people up.
