ABC ‘General Hospital’ (GH) spoilers reveal that star Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis) recently opened up about why her character and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) just never ‘worked’ on the small screen. Here’s what she has to say.
While they were never a proper couple, Nancy says that there were certainly a lot of fans that rooted for them anyway. She puts it this way in a new interview with Soap Opera Digest, “Exactly because of that. They were not proper, they were perfectly mismatched and always on opposite sides of everything. That is the kind of mess you want to act in and what keeps the audience off-guard and entertained.”
ABC ‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Nancy Lee Grahn Opens Up About Why Alexis And Sonny Just Never Worked
Now, as far as what turned the tide between Alexis and Sonny, Nancy explained, “For me it was the writing. It was character-infused, making it easy to have chemistry. And our chemistry in turn fueled the writers to keep peeling our onions, so to speak.
The conflict was perfectly set up and one thing led to another organically, which is never easy in daytime. Then for some strange reason it was abruptly halted when old writers returned. I always wonder what motivates a writer to yank something out from under an audience who was invested in it.
Never thought these two were meant to last at all, but rather than letting it play itself out with gentility and heart, they just broke it. It took years to undo some of that damage.”
When asked how Alexis can rate Sonny as a coparent to Kristina, Nancy said, “He loves her and pays his child support. If he just didn’t kill people for a living and get his kids caught in the crossfire of his yearly slow-motion shoot-outs, he’d get a solid B. Unfortunately due to his career choice and ego, he gets a D.”
