General Hospital Spoilers tease Laura Collins (Genie Francis) has always had a strong moral compass, but when it comes to protecting Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and his operations at the piers, her judgment may be clouded by years of family ties and friendship. Recently, she voiced her opposition to the government using eminent domain to seize control of Sonny’s territory, arguing that removing him from the piers would simply create a vacuum for someone more dangerous to fill.

But is Laura’s concern rooted in genuine wisdom, or is it a defense of Sonny’s interests due to personal attachment? Fans are left wondering if Laura’s view of Sonny is skewed by her relationship with him, and if her belief that he is the lesser of two evils could prove to be a costly mistake.

General Hospital Spoilers — The Danger of Sonny’s Territory

Sonny Corinthos has always walked a fine line between business and crime, operating his empire in the heart of Port Charles. While Laura acknowledges his criminal activities, she believes that his presence at the piers serves as a certain level of stability.

In her eyes, even though Sonny runs a dangerous enterprise, he’s familiar with the area, and his operations are relatively contained. But Laura may be overlooking the fact that Sonny’s criminal dealings invite continuous risk to the community.

Is it really in the best interest of Port Charles to keep Sonny’s grip on the piers, or does removing him present an opportunity to clean up the area and replace his criminal empire with something more legitimate?

Laura’s argument rests on the belief that removing Sonny from the piers would open the door for someone far worse to take control. Someone like Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota). She fears a more dangerous and unpredictable criminal taking Sonny’s place, potentially worsening the situation for the city and its residents.

But is she giving Sonny too much credit by assuming that his organized crime empire is the “safer” option? After all, the reality is that Sonny’s world is filled with betrayals, violence, and constant threats — factors that can make his operation just as unstable as any other criminal underworld.

Could Laura be clinging to an outdated idea of Sonny as the lesser evil?

General Hospital Spoilers — Friendship or Objectivity?

It’s undeniable that Laura has a long history with Sonny — one that spans family, friendship, and shared experiences.

She’s seen the good in him, even when others can only focus on his criminal activities. But her loyalty to him could be clouding her judgment.

Sonny has helped her family on multiple occasions, and her compassion for him might be leading her to believe that his removal could cause more harm than good.

However, Laura’s role as a public figure and a protector of the people of Port Charles requires a more objective view of Sonny’s influence in the city.

Her personal ties to him could be blurring the lines between what’s best for the community and what’s best for her friend.

In the end, Laura’s view may be more about loyalty and care than clear-headed decision-making.

Whether or not her stance will prove to be a sound strategy or a dangerous miscalculation remains to be seen. Stay tuned for more GH news and spoilers to learn how this plays out.
