Spoiler Alert: Drew Cain’s Unchecked Reign of Terror Leaves Port Charles Reeling, and Fans Demand to Know: Where is Sonny Corinthos?! 😱

Get ready for some serious questions, General Hospital fans, because Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) has officially become the biggest villain in Port Charles, and everyone seems to hate him! Several desperate residents are finally trying to take him down, but one glaring absence has left viewers scratching their heads: Why is Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) remaining silent?! The ruthless mob boss, known for his swift and brutal justice when his family is threatened, has uncharacteristically held back as Drew wreaks havoc, leading to intense speculation about his true intentions. Is Sonny simply too busy, or is he quietly plotting a devastating, calculated takedown that will leave Drew’s house of cards toppling?

Drew: Port Charles’ Most Hated Man

Drew Cain has undeniably earned his new title as “the biggest villain on General Hospital right now.” His actions have made him universally despised, leaving “everyone” in Port Charles hating him. The tension is palpable as “a few residents… are finally trying to take him down,” desperately seeking to end his destructive path.

The list of Drew’s transgressions against Sonny’s family alone is staggering, making Sonny’s silence all the more perplexing:

• Drew has single-handedly “destroyed Michael’s (Rory Gibson) marriage” to Willow, causing immense emotional pain and instability for his son.
• He then brazenly “tried to get custody of his children,” directly challenging Michael’s parental rights and threatening to rip apart Sonny’s family unit.
• The article even claims he is “basically torturing all of Port Charles,” suggesting his malice extends beyond just the Corinthos-Quartermaine family, affecting the wider community.

Given Sonny’s legendary reputation, his inaction is “quite unusual” and “not like him.” Flashback to previous instances, and Sonny’s response would have been immediate and violent. Remember the severe repercussions for John Cates (Adam Harrington) after he “targeted Kristina (Kate Mansi)”? Sonny has “no problem shooting people, hanging them from meat hooks, or having them beaten up.” He is “ruthless in business, but don’t ever mess with his family. He is extremely protective and will stop at nothing to get even.”

The stark contrast to his past behavior is highlighted by a specific incident: “Normally, when Drew tried to keep the mob boss and Carly (Laura Wright) away from their son when he was in the hospital, Sonny would have struck back with a threat at the very least.” Yet, in the face of Drew’s escalating antagonism, “He didn’t, and has kept quiet with every move Drew has made against his family.” The most egregious example of Drew’s villainy, and Sonny’s surprising restraint, is when Drew “didn’t even speak up when Drew tried to gaslight poor little Wiley (Viron Weaver).” This psychological manipulation of a child is precisely the kind of act that would typically trigger Sonny’s most brutal mob instincts, making his current inaction a profound mystery.

Is Sonny Biding His Time? The Pressures of a Mob Boss

The most common question among fans is whether Sonny is “biding his time” or if there’s a more immediate reason for his uncharacteristic restraint. The article offers several plausible explanations for why the mob boss might not be focusing his formidable energy on Drew:

• Overwhelming Responsibilities: Sonny has been incredibly busy managing his criminal empire and personal life. Sidwell (Carlo Rota) is “trying to take his piers,” posing a significant threat to his business operations and territory.
• Legal Woes: ADA Turner (Nazneen Contractor) is “after him,” indicating ongoing legal pressure and investigations that demand his attention.
• Personal Tragedies and Discoveries: The recent death of Natalia (Eva LaRue) and the shocking discovery that Gio (Giovanni Mazza) is his grandson have added immense personal strain and new family dynamics for Sonny to navigate.
• Health Concerns: All of this pressure is compounded by the fact that Sonny “just had heart surgery,” suggesting his physical recovery might also be a factor in his current strategic thinking.

Given these overwhelming circumstances, it’s possible that Sonny “is not focused on the Drew situation” because his plate is simply too full. He might genuinely believe that “Michael has a handle on it now that he has custody of his children,” underestimating Drew’s capacity for further harm, or trusting Michael to manage the situation on his own terms.

However, the more tantalizing possibility, and one that fits Sonny’s calculated nature, is that “Sonny could also be quietly biding his time to take down Drew.” The mob boss is known for his strategic long game. “He can be very calculated and is possibly waiting for the best moment to strike.” This theory suggests that Sonny sees Drew’s actions not as immediate threats requiring impulsive retaliation, but as opportunities to observe, gather intelligence, and wait for Drew to make a fatal mistake. The idea is that “Drew’s house of cards is about to come toppling down, and Sonny may get to the congressman when he is at his weakest.” This would be a classic Sonny move: letting his enemy self-destruct before delivering the final, devastating blow.

Whatever the reason for Sonny’s current silence, one thing is clear: “fans cannot wait for Drew to get what is coming to him.” The collective anticipation for Drew’s downfall is immense, fueled by his widespread unpopularity and the sheer audacity of his actions. The question remains: “Are you surprised Sonny hasn’t gone after Drew?” The answer will undoubtedly shape the future of Port Charles and confirm whether Sonny has truly changed, or if he’s merely sharpening his claws for the ultimate strike.
