GH spoilers remind us that Sonny was the one who shot John “Jagger” Cates—not once, but twice—behind the Quartermaine mansion in a dramatic confrontation that fateful Friday.
On his State of Mind podcast, Benard welcomed Adam Huss (who plays Nikolas Cassadine) to discuss Sonny and GH. Both actors had interesting insights into Sonny’s bold behavior.
Benard pointed out that Sonny rarely does his own dirty work, typically leaving it to his henchmen. But this time, he took matters into his own hands by shooting Jagger.
Adam Huss commented that Sonny’s actions were bold, to which Benard agreed.
In fact, Sonny recalled that shooting Agent Cates was unusually daring—normally Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) or someone else would handle it.
Benard even reflected on the last time Sonny personally shot someone: Michael Corinthos’ (Chad Duell) biological father, A.J. Quartermaine. That moment was a wild turning point.
Sonny’s decision to shoot Cates has spiraled into chaos. While Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) has agreed to be his alibi and Jason took care of the evidence,

Sonny’s daughter, Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi), has complicated matters by stealing one of his guns. To make things worse, her mother,
Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn), threw the gun off a bridge—only for it to be found by Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) and Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst).
