The shocking bombing of Sonny Corinthos’ penthouse in *General Hospital* has left fans speculating about the real culprit behind the
attack. While Michael Corinthos was nearly killed, it’s clear that Sonny was the intended target. With a long list of enemies, five key
suspects stand out in this high-stakes mystery.
### 1. Valentin Cassadine
Valentin has already attempted to eliminate Sonny multiple times, including tampering with his bipolar medication to destabilize him. Previously leading Pikeman, Valentin had strong motives to remove Sonny and take over his territory. The explosive device used in the bombing appears to be of WSB origin—an organization Valentin has been entangled with for decades. If Pikeman is still active, Valentin could be finishing what he started.
### 2. Jack Brennan
Jack, another WSB affiliate, also emerges as a prime suspect. Previously leading Pikeman before his imprisonment, Jack now serves as chief of the Port Charles WSB station. Given his ruthlessness and access to bomb-making materials, he has both the means and motive. Furthermore, his romantic entanglement with Carly Spencer suggests that eliminating Sonny could have been a personal as well as professional move.
### 3. Cyrus Renault
Though deceased, Cyrus was still alive when the bombing occurred and had a long-standing vendetta against Sonny. His criminal history includes multiple assassination attempts and a dangerous ideology that justified murder as a form of twisted righteousness. If the bombing was part of his mission to rid Port Charles of perceived threats, Sonny would have been a key target.
### 4. Ric Lansing
Sonny’s half-brother, Ric, has harbored deep resentment for years. Their long-standing rivalry, compounded by Ric’s belief that Alexis Davis favors her daughter with Sonny over their own child, provides a strong personal motive. His current relationship with Ava Jerome further strengthens the case, as Sonny’s removal would grant Ava sole custody of their daughter.
### 5. An FBI Operative Seeking Justice for Jagger Cates
Sonny previously killed Jagger Cates, an ex-FBI agent who was determined to put him behind bars. The murder was never properly investigated, leaving open the possibility of revenge. If a close associate or family member of Jagger wanted retribution, they might have orchestrated the attack. An FBI connection would also explain the sophisticated nature of the bombing.
### ConclusionEach of these suspects had both motive and opportunity to eliminate Sonny. Whether the attack was fueled by revenge, personal ambition, or organized crime interests, the mystery continues to unfold. Do you think the real bomber is among these five, or is there another hidden threat lurking in Port Charles?
