General Hospital spoilers reveal that just when it seemed like the worst was over for Carly Spencer and Sonny Corinthos, the storm proves far from finished. As May unfolds, the connection between Carly and Sonny is thrust into the harsh spotlight once again. After Sonny barely survived a life-threatening heart surgery at Los Angeles General, both find themselves pulled deeper into danger — danger they hardly even understand. Their future hangs by a thread, one wrong move away from devastation.

Sonny’s brush with death left wounds far beyond the physical. In the hidden corners of the hospital, it became clear: someone had orchestrated an attack meant to kill him, and that threat still looms. His survival, instead of being a blessing, may just be a cruel trick of fate — setting the stage for something even more devastating to come.

In the aftermath of Sonny’s near-death experience, a desperate and grieving Carly turned to the one man she believed she could trust without question: Jack Brennan. Instead of calling Jason Morgan or her family, Carly’s first instinct was to reach out to Brennan — a decision that would soon have devastating consequences. Her vulnerability blinded her, and Brennan knew exactly how to take advantage.

As Carly poured her heart out, recounting the chaos and horror of Sonny’s attack, Brennan listened carefully, his mind already scheming. On the surface, Brennan appeared supportive, even suggesting that Jen Sidwell was likely behind the hit. Carly, grateful for what seemed like insight and protection, leaned further into Brennan’s web without realizing the true danger she was inviting in.

Trusting Brennan, Carly asked him to send security to protect both herself and Sonny. What she didn’t realize was that she was handing Brennan the very tools he needed to finish what the first attack started. Brennan’s betrayal ran deep — posing as a protector while secretly setting plans for Sonny’s final downfall.

Brennan’s motives weren’t just professional; they were deeply personal. Seeing Sonny and Carly reconnecting — sharing lingering looks, tender moments, and an unspoken bond — was unbearable for Brennan. He had spent years positioning himself as Carly’s safe harbor, the man who could finally give her peace after decades of turmoil with Sonny. And yet, with Sonny’s return, Brennan saw all his careful work unraveling before his eyes.

Determined to eliminate Sonny for good, Brennan played a dangerous double game. While publicly sending “protection” to Sonny, privately he hired a skilled assassin tasked with finishing Sonny off. Brennan didn’t care about the lives of his own men, knowing they were expendable if it meant masking Sonny’s murder as a tragic accident.

Sonny, seasoned from a lifetime in the mob, sensed something wasn’t right. But he faced a heartbreaking obstacle — Carly’s complete and unwavering trust in Brennan. Without hard proof, Sonny couldn’t risk confronting Brennan outright. He knew doing so would only drive Carly further away.

The second attack came swiftly and brutally. Sonny’s instincts, sharpened by years of surviving betrayal, saved him in a violent confrontation that left him battered but alive. Again, Carly rushed to his side, consumed by fear and guilt, still unwilling to believe that Brennan could be behind the chaos.

Sonny, struggling to speak, tried desperately to warn Carly, but she refused to listen. Her need for security and trust blinded her to the truth. Brennan had become her anchor in a world spinning out of control, and she couldn’t bear the thought that he might be a fraud.

It wasn’t until Jason Morgan stepped in that the terrible truth began to surface. Jason, never one to ignore his instincts, had been quietly investigating Brennan ever since Carly’s call to him leaked back. Jason’s findings were horrifying — not only was Sidwell involved in the plot against Sonny, but so was Brennan, manipulating every move behind the scenes.

When Jason finally presented Carly with the evidence, her world shattered. Every smile, every kind word from Brennan had been a lie, a calculated move to separate her from Sonny permanently. Horror and guilt consumed Carly. She realized too late that she had endangered Sonny’s life by trusting the wrong man.

As Sonny lay broken and struggling to breathe in his hospital bed, Carly could only cling to his hand and watch helplessly, the weight of her mistakes pressing down on her like never before. How had she let this happen? She had been trying to protect him — and instead, she had handed him over to his would-be killer.

Meanwhile, back in Port Charles, Jack Brennan moved freely through society, his polished image intact. Smiling, shaking hands, and playing the part of a savior, Brennan wore his mask well. No one saw the blood staining his hands — no one except Jason Morgan.

Jason, patient and methodical, continued building his case against Brennan. He knew that to take down a man as powerful as Brennan, he would need overwhelming evidence. Brick by brick, Jason laid the groundwork for Brennan’s downfall, refusing to rush and ensuring Brennan’s crimes would be undeniable when the time came.

However, Brennan wasn’t finished. Furious that Sonny had survived yet again, Brennan orchestrated an even more sinister plan: poisoning Sonny’s IV with a slow-acting toxin designed to mimic heart failure. It was a perfect, untraceable scheme — but Jason was already one step ahead.

Intercepting the plan before it could succeed, Jason chose not to alert the authorities immediately. No, he wanted Brennan to fall hard, stripped of his power and reputation, exposed to the world he had deceived so expertly.

As Sonny slowly regained strength, his memory sharpened. Pieces of the betrayal began to fall into place. Together with Jason, Sonny started laying a trap — a move so calculated that Brennan, for all his cunning, would never see it coming.

Meanwhile, Carly wrestled with overwhelming guilt and sorrow, pouring all her energy into caring for Sonny, clinging to the man she feared she had already lost. Haunted by the realization of how deeply Brennan had deceived her, Carly struggled to come to terms with her role in the nightmare that had almost cost Sonny his life.

Their future remains uncertain — built on shattered trust, painful truths, and the fight for justice that has only just begun.
