Let me start out
by making it clear that I LOVE the Sonny and Carly pairing -- always have ,
always will. I miss Sarah Brown, but am willing to accept Tamara Braun as
Carly if it means that these two soulmates can stay together. That having been
said, I still think that this storyline blows billygoats! It is so out of
character for both of them. The Carly I know would NEVER turn Sonny into the
Feds. And if Sonny starts a romantic relationship with another character
, that will be entirely out of character for him , as well. He, a deeply
religous man, vowed before God never to leave Carly, for better or worse. This
certainly qualifies for "worse", but, as much pain as he is in, I
will never believe that Sonny Corinthos would reneg on his commitment to Carly
and Michael.
While I can't say whether I'm a CFF
( message board lingo for "Carly Fan First") or a SFF (I've always
loved both characters), I am getting pretty gosh darn tired of all this being
made out to be entirely Carly's fault, with Sonny as the innocent victim.What
Carly did was unbelievably stupid and out of character but she never would
have done it if Sonny had shown just a moducum of respect for her. I get that
he doesn't want her to know everything about his business because she would
get scared and do something dangerous, but, as she once pointed out, his
not telling her ANYTHING only makes her fear the worst. He said he
would keep her and Michael safe, but a bomb almost killed them both! And
instead of letting her know how he was going to insure that her little boy's
life was never put in that kind of danger again, he screams at her and
completely shuts her out! And what was up with his constant going
back-and-forth with her? For example, the night of the FOD party at
Luke's...one minute he tells her he loves her with all his heart and he is
proud of her, the next he is basically telling her she's a no good liar
and refusing to go to the party with her! And then when they make up, and she
says she wants to have a baby, he acts thrilled by the idea, but the next day
he tells her he doesn't want a kid. Okay, I understand he is scared of
losing another child, but don't make her think you want one , then tell
basically her "no way, end of discussion"!....Anyway, as I see it,
BOTH Sonny and Carly are to blame for this mess, BOTH have acted out of
character and BOTH need to ask for the other's forgiveness! It shouldn't
just be Carly begging Sonny to take her back...he needs to promise to change
as well!
