After they parted ways, Sonny lost his sleaze as he climbed the mafia ladder to the top.

They would later reconnect as adults.

It took a while for Sonny to realize who she was, but they finally reconnected.

Needless to say, the nuptials were kaput.

They broke up for a while but later got back together again and headed down the aisle.

But Connie’s abuse as a teenager had splintered her personality, creating separate Connie and Kate personas.

Lily had become friendly with many people in town and was beloved in Port Charles.

Meanwhile, Lilly told Sonny she was pregnant, but felt he wanted to be with Brenda.

He decided to stay with her and pleaded with her to give it a shot.

She agreed, and he dumped Brenda unceremoniously.

But it was too late.

Unfortunately, Lilly got into it outside of Luke’s Club, and she was killed when it exploded.

’s funeral, they ruminated over what happened, which led to them having sex in the Quartermaine crypt!

Brenda Barrett

Why the fans still fondly remember theromance between Brenda Barrett and Sonny Corinthosis beyond us.

They never could get it right.

Then there’s that peskyJasper “Jax” Jax(Ingo Rademacher).

For years, Brenda couldn’t decide if she wanted to be with him or Sonny.

Now it was Jax’s turn to dumpherat the altar.

So, she did what anyone would do and finally married Sonny.

But then she got blown up in a limousine.

She was just kidnapped and Sonny rescued her.

That troublesome violent lifestyle of Sonny’s, and her indecision, would always keep the cute couple apart.

That’s why fans still hold out hope for their eventual reunion.
