In the chaotic world of General Hospital, one thing remains constant: you never cross Sonny Corinthos, especially when it comes to his

children. For years, Sonny has been the undisputed mob boss of Port Charles, commanding fear and respect in equal measure. But above all,

his love and loyalty to his family define him, and he makes it clear to anyone daring enough to test him – his kids are off-limits.

Cates, however, made the mistake of ignoring that golden rule. Thinking he could outsmart Sonny, he decided to take matters into his own hands and target Kristina Corinthos, Sonny’s beloved daughter. Cates must have believed he could get away with it, but he was playing a dangerous game, and with Sonny, there’s only one outcome when his family is threatened. The warning signs were there, and anyone who knows Sonny knew what was coming.

Cates played stupid games, and Sonny made sure he got the “stupid prize” he deserved. Sonny had been keeping a close eye on Cates after suspecting something was off. Despite numerous warnings from those around him to stay out of Sonny’s way, Cates pressed on, underestimating just how far Sonny would go to protect Kristina. But Sonny Corinthos isn’t just any father – he’s a man who would go to the ends of the earth to ensure the safety of his children, no matter the cost.

When Cates made his move, thinking he could put Kristina in danger and get away with it, Sonny snapped into action. Sonny doesn’t let anyone harm his family without facing the consequences. It wasn’t long before Cates found himself standing face-to-face with the wrath of Port Charles’ most feared man. In a cold and calculated manner, Sonny made it clear that Cates had crossed the line – and there was no turning back.

Sonny, standing over Cates, didn’t mince words. He reminded Cates of the rule that everyone knows but somehow, Cates had forgotten: *never mess with a Corinthos*. Especially not Kristina, who, in Sonny’s eyes, is his “top daddy’s girl.” Kristina has always held a special place in Sonny’s heart, and nothing would stop him from protecting her. In that moment, Sonny’s message was loud and clear – you don’t go after his children, and if you do, you’d better be ready to face the consequences.

With Cates laid out, Sonny delivered poetic justice, the kind that only he could. It wasn’t just about revenge or teaching Cates a lesson – it was about Sonny reaffirming his position as both a father and a powerful figure in Port Charles. No one gets away with threatening his family, and Sonny’s actions served as a stark reminder to anyone else thinking of crossing him.

As Sonny walked away from the aftermath, the weight of his actions hung in the air. The message had been sent: if you mess with Sonny’s kids, you’re messing with the man himself – and that’s a battle you won’t win. Cates learned this lesson the hard way, but for Sonny, it was all about protecting the ones he loves, especially Kristina.

For fans of *General Hospital*, this turn of events was pure poetic justice. Sonny’s fierce loyalty to his family is what makes him one of the most compelling characters in Port Charles, and this latest development only adds to his legendary status. Kristina Corinthos can rest easy knowing her father will always have her back, and those who think about crossing the Corinthos family will think twice before making that mistake again.

In the end, Sonny’s warning remains as true as ever – you don’t mess with his kids. And if you do, you’ll pay the price. Just ask Cates.
