Tensions explode in General Hospital as Sonny Corinthos finds himself facing an internal

war—both in his personal life and within his own body. The powerful mob boss has kept a

dangerous secret for years: a serious heart condition that threatens to destroy him at any moment. As Sonny struggles to balance his criminal empire, his family, and his failing health, a shocking custody battle with Ava Jerome ignites a firestorm of emotions that could cost him everything.

Ava’s demand for shared custody of their daughter, Avery, sends Sonny into a tailspin. Ava argues that his life is too dangerous, filled with enemies who could target their child. With the mounting pressure of his empire, Sonny reluctantly considers her request, knowing that Avery’s safety must come first. His confidante, Natalia Ramirez, urges him to make a pragmatic choice—one that could relieve some of his burdens.

However, the decision does not sit well with Kristina Corinthos-Davis. When she discovers the new custody arrangement, she is overcome with fury. To Kristina, Ava is not just another woman in Sonny’s life—she is the enemy. Her deep-seated resentment toward Ava stems from a past tragedy, one she believes was caused by Ava’s actions. In Kristina’s mind, allowing Ava to have any custody of Avery is an unforgivable betrayal.

Determined to stop the arrangement, Kristina confronts Sonny, demanding that he reconsider. But when he refuses to back down, her anger boils over, leading to a heated showdown with Ava. In a moment of blind rage, Kristina attacks Ava, striking her in a violent fit of emotion. Ava, caught off guard, stumbles backward, completely shaken by the sudden aggression.

The room descends into chaos, but the real disaster is yet to come. Witnessing the shocking fight, Sonny’s body finally gives out under the weight of his stress and health condition. Clutching his chest in agony, he collapses, leaving his family in stunned horror. The invincible mob boss is now at the mercy of the very battle he has fought to keep hidden.

As Kristina watches her father fall, regret washes over her. What began as a desperate attempt to protect her family has now placed Sonny in mortal danger. The consequences of her actions are devastating, threatening to unravel their family in ways she never imagined. Will Sonny survive this latest crisis? And if he does, will his family ever be the same again?

One thing is certain—this battle is far from over.
