Four-Hour Marathon Features the Rocky Relationship Between “General Hospital’s” Mobster, Sonny Corinthos, and His Long Lost Son, the Cop, Dante “Dominic” Falconeri
SOAPnet celebrates Father’s Day with “Sins of the Father,” a four-hour “General Hospital” marathon on Sunday, June 20th from 3PM-7PM EST/PST. Mobster Sonny Corinthos has grown to respect and admire his newest employee, Dominic Pirelli.
But their relationship takes a turn for the worse when the mafia boss learns that the man he’s considering entrusting his empire to is really an undercover cop. Sonny gets his revenge for the betrayal by shooting Dominic, but he’s in for the shock of his life—he’s actually just shot his own son, Dante Falconeri.
