General Hospital Relationship Timeline: Sonny And Nina

Sonny Corinthos arrived just in time to stop Carly Spencer and Jason Morgan from consummating their marriage. He retained his memories from Nixon Falls, where he and Nina fell in love, but he wanted to put the whole incident in the past. However, Sonny's son, Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell), pressed charges against Nina Reeves for her actions. Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) explained in court that she heard Sonny and Nina discussing falling in love — shocking Carly — and when Sonny testified that he didn't consider himself Nina's victim, the case was thrown out.

Sonny tried to patch things up with Carly by planning a romantic evening for them, but when she failed to appear, he slept with Nina. Carly caught the two in bed and declared her marriage over. Sonny then started drinking and wasn't taking his bipolar medication, and Nina helped him through his difficulties and got him treatment. Sonny and Nina started to date officially, although most of his family felt he'd turned his back on them. Nina fought for visitation rights with her grandson Wiley — Michael's son with Nina's late daughter Nelle — though she lost despite Sonny standing up for her against his own family.

Nina continued to make bad choices and started sticking her nose into other people's business and spreading gossip. Then, Michael's partner Willow turned out to be Nina's long-lost biological daughter, but the two were at odds because Nina had been rotten to her in the past.
