General Hospital Fans React to Carly Blaming Sonny for Morgan's Death

General Hospital fans are in an uproar after hearing what Carly (Laura Wright) said about Sonny (Maurice Benard) in her recent conversation with Valentin (James Patrick Stuart). "I've already lost one kid because of that man," she stated. "I won't lose another." The deceased child she's referring to is Morgan (Bryan Craig). Twitter fans had plenty to say about Carly's accusation.

Sonny versus Josslyn

On Monday's episode of GH, Joss (Eden McCoy) visited Sonny's home and criticized him for his criminal career. Avery (Ayla Bullington) heard the conversation from another room. She burst into the living room and defended her father to Joss.

Sonny later warned Carly that he now has no more grace to give Joss. Carly fears what Sonny may do to her daughter. But was Carly right to blame him for Morgan's death? Here's what Twitter fans had to say.

"Shut up, Carly. This is the same woman who literally had another child with Sonny after Morgan died," one fan commented. "After Michael was shot. After the kids had been kidnapped and endangered."

One fan replied to the post, "Love does make you do crazy things, and Lord knows she loved that man."

"She is a raging hypocrite," another fan said. "What else is new?"

"And like she didn't continue pursuing dangerous men from violent worlds, including her current boyfriend," one fan remarked.

Another Twitter fan had a similar opinion, stating, "She's now criticizing Sonny and saying Avery and Donna aren't safe around him. Does it make sense that she's telling this to Valentin, who has done many bad things as well, putting his daughter and others in danger?"

Those are good points. Valentin tampered with Sonny's bipolar medication in 2024. The drug tampering caused a drastic change in Sonny's personality. He behaved erratically for months, which had a damaging effect on his family. Valentin also hired two assassins to kill Jason (Steve Burton) in Sonny's coffee warehouse.

"Morgan's death had NOTHING to do with Sonny," one Twitter fan stated. "Morgan is dead because of Ava and Olivia Jerome."

Carly is in a quandary

Carly isn't sure how to deal with Sonny's threats against Joss, but some Twitter fans are taking her to task for choosing a life with him again and again.

One fan said, "Since we are being honest, Carly, explain why you protected Sonny's image and Jason's. You loved the power of being Sonny's wife and Jason's best friend. You also benefited from that power when you stepped over the legal line. Carly might not have been giving orders, but she was very much a mob wife whose eyes were wide open to the world she lived in and raised her children in. Morgan is dead because the Jeromes (in particular, Olivia) wanted Julian dead. It was personal between siblings."

One fan replied to the post, "Jason and Carly both had plenty of chances to walk away and save the children. They didn't."

Another fan wondered, "Why did she just lie that Morgan's death was because of Sonny? Unless his name is Ava Jerome, who messed with Morgan's medication, or Olivia Jerome, who rigged Julian's car to blow up. I'm real sick of this from Joss, and from Carly, it's worse."

Another fan replied to the original post, "No question about it. She loved the power and used it to climb the social ladder to get to where she is today. In my opinion, it is also fair to say she did so at the expense of the safety of her minor children."

"Literally none of today's Carly scenes had me sympathizing with her," one Twitter fan remarked. "Carly is as bad as Sonny is."

Another Twitter fan wrote, "The argument for Sonny being responsible for Morgan's death is that he exposed his family to the mob world, including the Jeromes. But by that logic, Carly shares responsibility. She was complicit in that choice and kept making it even after Michael was shot in the head."

Another Twitter fan posted, "I screamed at the TV, 'Sonny didn't kill Morgan.' It's getting ridiculous, the rewriting of history."

"I remember when he died, Joss blamed Sonny due to the life he led," one fan wrote.

"Sonny wasn't directly involved, but it was the lifestyle he chose to live that caused chaos for his family members," another fan commented.

"Sonny being involved with the Jeromes at all brought it down on the family," one fan said. "That's the only logic she can use. Because frankly, more has happened to Michael to be angry about."

One Twitter fan said, "If they are ignoring history or rewriting it, then I am out."

One fan replied to that post, "It's absolutely infuriating to watch."

Carly, you were crazy about Sonny

When Carly was sharing all of her fears and worries with Valentin, she evidently forgot how deeply she used to love Sonny. Twitter fans brought up the way she acted back in the day.

"I did not sit through 2000 to 2003 watching Carly fight and claw at any woman who came within 100 feet of Sonny for the backtracking in the year 2026," one fan said. "No, ma'am. Carly loved it all. And went back."

One fan responded to the post, "Carly literally got into physical altercations with women for getting too close to Sonny. She and Brenda were literally in quicksand, fighting each other for Sonny instead of trying to get out of the quicksand. She loved that man through and through and wanted him passionately, risk and all."

The original poster responded, "Exactly! She literally acted like Sonny was her property. Carly loved that relationship and everything his world offered her. She went back more times than I can count. Twenty-seven years later, she's regretting all. Michael's shooting and Morgan's death weren't enough. But now?"

As one Twitter fan pointed out, "Even before Sonny shot her in the head, there was plenty to keep her from that man. But after he almost killed her, that should have been THE END. Now she just looks like a colossal fool."

"This is revisionist history," one Twitter fan said. "Morgan's death was more on Ava than anyone else."

"Why do so many blame Sonny for Morgan's death?" another fan wondered. "He wasn't the reason."

Another fan shared this in response to the fictional storyline, "I'll say it every time. Sonny had nothing to do with Morgan's death. Olivia Jerome planted a bomb to kill her brother Julian. Ava swapped Morgan's pills with placebos, which made him manic. Morgan stole Julian's car and went boom. Nothing to do with Sonny. Nothing at all."

"Morgan wasn't Sonny's fault," another fan remarked.

We will close with a thought-provoking comment from one Twitter fan, who said, "GH fans are just as responsible for Sonny's portrayal. We've enabled and romanticized it for thirty-plus years. Now that other characters challenge him, suddenly it's a problem? You helped create this monster. Don't clutch your pearls now."
