History

Sonny Corinthos contemplates ending it all (2024)

In 2000, it was revealed Stavros Cassadine was being kept cryogenically frozen in a secret lab beneath General Hospital. The laboratory was originally only accessible from an out-of-service elevator on the roof.

In 2009, Trevor Lansing is killed after falling off the roof during a struggle with Sam McCall.

In 2012, the psychotic Heather Webber took her distant cousin, baby Danny Morgan up to the roof and fell off. His father, Jason Morgan caught Danny before he went over with Heather.

In 2016, Morgan Corinthos threatened to jump off the roof while in a manic episode. His psychiatrist Dr. Andre Maddox tried to help, then his father, Sonny Corinthos went up on the ledge with Morgan and convinced him to come down.

In 2019, psychotic serial killer Ryan Chamberlain took Dr. Griffin Munro to the roof and almost killed him.

In 2020, Carly Spencer locked Nelle Benson on the roof so Nelle's son and Carly's grandson, Wiley Corinthos could get much needed surgery.

In 2021, the villainous fugitive Peter August was waiting for a pilot, David Hopkins on the roof. Dr. Hamilton Finn found Peter and fought with him. Peter threw Finn's brother, Harrison Chase's antidote off the roof and Finn pushed Peter down the stairwell. Nurse Elizabeth Baldwin helped Finn hide Peter's body by going down into the Cassadines abandoned underground lab. She later hallucinated seeing Peter on the roof.

In 2023, the day after Epiphany Johnson's sudden death, her friends and colleagues gather on the rooftop to watch (illegal) fireworks, per her request.

On March 11, 2024, Sonny and Carly secretly meet on the hospital roof during the manhunt for Dante's shooter. They discuss that Jason is alive and in town and may be the shooter - Carly is adamant he's not, Sonny is reticent.

On August 6, 2024, Sonny contemplated suicide by jumping off the ledge of the hospital roof. He had been in the thrall of a manic depressive episode for months, not knowing his bipolar medications were tampered with - and then switched with placebos. Earlier that day, a pregnant Kristina had been involved in a horrible incident, leaving her in the hospital and the baby girl dead. His niece Molly accused him of being the reason her baby was dead; stating that his dangerous lifestyle was the reason for his children constantly being in danger.

He then proceeded to hallucinate his late son, Morgan, who, acting as his subconscious. This "ghost" reminded Sonny that he is a good father and his spirit is always with him. When Sonny told Morgan that Kristina was horrified to see him brutally beat up Dex Heller, Morgan pointed out that she came right back but Sonny counters that she should've kept running. Morgan stated every one of his kids loved him - no parent is perfect. Sonny believed he's responsible for Morgan's death, who countered it was Ava's fault since she tampered with his meds. Even after bringing up that he shot Dante and Michael spent a year in a coma because of him. Morgan's spirit reminded Sonny that his children and his grandchildren need him and urged him not to leave them.

Morgan reminding him of the good things about him and his life, leading him to realize something was mentally and physically wrong with him. Sonny stepped away from the roof ledge and went to see Dr. Kevin Collins, where he admitted he needs help.
