What’s up with Sonny’s chest pains on General Hospital?

The recent development in Sonny’s arc sees him experiencing a second round of chest pain, fueling speculations that his demise storyline may be approaching on the show. However, neither the network nor Bernard has given any word on his departure or his death in the series.

In the previous episode, Sonny, who was busy working out in the gym, suffered a sudden health tragedy, shocking fans. He collapses on the ground after experiencing chest pain. Isaiah requests him to get his health checked but he refuses, unwilling to show his vulnerability. He eventually gets convinced but on one condition that Dr. Gannon will examine him at home. But, this never happens as Sonny decides to exit the Quartermaines.

However, it appears his health continues to deteriorate in the upcoming episode. The teaser features Sonny facing a second round of health scare. He is seen keeping his hands on his chest and closing the door, indicating that the uncured chest pain has emerged once again.

Could Maurice Benard be exiting General Hospital?

Benard is not announced to be exiting General Hospital.

Given that there are no reports that indicate Sonny’s exit, it can be considered that he will be staying on the show. The speculations about his departure emerged due to his character’s continuous health scares on the show. His condition may have worsened after years of balancing his personal and criminal life, which likely took a toll on his mental and physical health. If he is not set to depart, then fans can expect him to overcome the health scare soon.
