OMG – Sonny Discovers Turner’s True Identity: ABC General Hospital Spoilers

Let us all collectively stifle the groan of exhaustion, because if the latest “OMG” spoiler headline means anything, it means General Hospital has once again mistaken predictable plot recycling for high drama. We are supposed to be shocked—absolutely aghast—that Sonny Corinthos, Port Charles’ self-proclaimed moral compass and part-time crime lord, has been betrayed by someone he trusted. The outrage is not that a person with a secret agenda exists in this town; the outrage is that the writers expect us to be surprised when the rug is pulled from under the feet of the man who carpet-bombs the town with hypocrisy on a daily basis.

The supposed earth-shattering reveal is that the mysterious ADA Turner—the character who was inexplicably gaining Sonny’s trust and perhaps even flirting on the edge of a ludicrous romantic pairing—is not who they claim to be. We are to believe that this representative of the law, who has been orbiting the Corinthos sphere of influence, is actually a deep-cover operative. Whether Turner is revealed to be a long-lost offspring of a mob victim coming for vengeance, or simply a paid mole working for a rival like Sidwell, the entire premise is a spectacular failure of imagination.

The truly offensive part of this narrative is watching Sonny’s inevitable reaction. The man who runs a city-wide criminal enterprise, who keeps more secrets than the Pentagon, and whose entire family structure is built on a foundation of lies, will undoubtedly feel betrayed. The sheer, staggering audacity of Sonny Corinthos to feel morally superior to anyone, much less someone who has an actual agenda for justice—or even just revenge—is the greatest insult to the viewer’s intelligence.

This isn’t drama; it is a tired, judgmental commentary on the show’s own moral bankruptcy. General Hospital consistently refuses to allow any institution to function properly in Port Charles. Every lawyer is crooked, every police commissioner is compromised, and now, even the Assistant District Attorney is a pawn in the mob’s endless game. The negative impact of this writing is clear: it’s not just a reveal, it’s a further step in the complete degradation of the fictional city’s moral center, ensuring that the only hero is, and always will be, the violent, secretive mob boss.

By making Turner a mole, the writers have killed any hope of actual legal accountability. The law doesn’t matter. Justice doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is the perpetual, self-righteous protection of the Corinthos dynasty. We are now heading for the inevitable bloody confrontation, where Sonny, the villain, will be framed as the victim, and Turner, the character who dared to challenge the status quo, will be vilified. Save the gasp, because this is just another Sunday in Port Charles, a town rotting from the core while we are forced to cheer on the very criminals who cause the decay.
