But out of all the many women the Teflon Don’s had in his arms (and his bed) over the years, which one does his heart and soul belong to? Who is Sonny’s soulmate on GH?
Is Sonny Corinthos Destined to go Back to Carly Corinthos on General Hospital?
Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) has a complicated relationship with Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright). From the start on the ABC soap, they were drawn to each other like metal to magnet. He was the worst sort of bad boy and she was a very, very bad girl on GH.
They’ve been off-and-on since Carly’s debut on General Hospital. They’ve loved and hated each other. Sonny was there for Carly to help raise (and later adopt) her firstborn, Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell). And together they had (and lost) Morgan Corinthos.

Third child Donna Corinthos brought the crisis of her spina bifida to their late-in-life baby story. Beyond their children, these two lied to one another, cheated on one another, and tormented themselves for decades.
Yet even now, a large swath of General Hospital fans believe that Carly and Sonny Corinthos are destined to reunite and live out their lives together. Now, Carly’s with Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison). And her ex has a new love. But will these crumble on GH?
Is Brenda Barrett the Soulmate of Port Charles’ Mob Boss on GH?
Another wildly popular pairing with Sonny Corinthos was brunette beauty Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil). She was a teen beauty, and the mobster was almost 30 when they met and sparks began to fly. But the age gap (and little less) stopped them.
Brenda’s unlike many of the women in Sonny’s romantic past on one subject in particular. She has zero tolerance for his mob activities. Most other ladies he’s been with either accepted, enabled, or turned a blind eye to his illegal means of making money.
But General Hospital writers crafted Brenda of tougher stuff. She pushed back on him about his dark side time and again. But eventually, she also decided that loving him was more important to her than objections about his being a criminal.
After one wedding where the groom didn’t show, he finally married Brenda. But his refusal to bond with and adopt her son cracked them. Ultimately, she went back to Italy and they couldn’t make it work. But many fans think she’s the one Sonny Corinthos really loves.
Was Sonny’s Soulmate Lily Rivera on General Hospital?
Sonny Corinthos met future wife Lily Rivera (Lily Melgar) when she was in love with another man and he was still with Brenda. But when Brenda cheated with Lily’s guy, everything blew up for her and the mob man.
We saw that Lily was a woman on General Hospital who understood mob life since her dad was also a mob boss, but down in Puerto Rico. She fell hard for Sonny and they married after she convinced her dad to save him from prison.
Sunday thoughts: When it comes to Sonny ships there are two dynamics typically at play; Partner in Crime (Carson) or I Can Fix Him (SnB, Lily, Sexis, Sona etc). And why do we always put that expectation on the women? To be the catalyst of change for his character? #GH

But Brenda remained a problem despite Lily Rivera being such a good influence on Sonny, helping him heal rifts with his family on GH. Ms. Barrett’s constant scheming finally caught the mob man’s eye and he split from Lily.
Then, an unexpected pregnancy changed it all. Sonny Corinthos pledged to be a good husband and they reconciled. But Lily’s father was furious at his son-in-law for hooking up with his ex and decided to blow him up for payback.
Too bad on General Hospital that Ms. Rivera’s gangster dad planted a bomb on Sonny’s car. And it was Lily who was in it when it went off. Her cruel death haunted him for years to come on the ABC soap opera.
ABC Soap Wrote Deep History for Olivia Falconeri & Her Baby Daddy
Another woman that remains in the Teflon Don’s life to this day is Olivia Falconeri (Lisa LoCicero), who was his high school sweetie. She got pregnant as a teen with his son but never told him.
And by then, he’d dumped her for her cousin Connie Falconeri (aka Kate Howard — more on her below). In the end, both Olivia and her cousin wound up in Port Charles, both with ongoing ties to Sonny.
Things got bad with Olivia when he shot her son, undercover cop Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna), That prompted Liv to come clean that she and Sonny Corinthos had a child he’d never known on General Hospital.
