General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) will seek Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) out on July 16. Nina certainly hasn’t been Sonny’s favorite person since they split up, so she should be surprised to see him.

Sonny and Nina were on cloud nine in their new marriage once upon a time, but then the truth about Nina’s SEC tip came out.

Although Nina fought hard to win Sonny back, she eventually had to just give up on their future together.

Now that Nina’s granted Sonny the divorce, she’s moving on with her life. That’s why it’ll come as a shock when Sonny shows up presumably looking for a favor.

GH fans know Sonny is gearing up for a custody feud with Ava Jerome (Maura West), so he’s been trying to gather support for his side.

The more people Sonny has in his corner, the better off he’ll be when it’s time for court.

Sonny may wonder if he can count on Nina to back him up as a good father once the custody proceedings begin.

Despite the tense vibe and any awkwardness that comes with this discussion, Nina may promise she’s Team Sonny here.

Nina saw for herself what a good dad Sonny was when they were married.

Plus, Nina now views Ava Jerome (Maura West) as a total snake, so she may agree with Sonny about Avery Corinthos (Ava and Grace Scarola) being better off with him.

That’s especially true now that Nina is so furious over the leaked Natalia Ramirez (Eva LaRue) recording, which got posted through The Invader without her knowledge.

Regardless, Sonny may ask Nina if she’d be willing to testify for him and speak positively.

Ava is going to play dirty, so Sonny will do whatever he can to fight back and score sole custody of Avery.

Our predictions point to Sonny and Ava’s custody drama leading to some unexpected developments, particularly now that Ava’s ordered full placebos and intends on causing Sonny’s public mental breakdown.

General Hospital spoilers say Sonny’s mental health will decline rapidly, so stick with us for updates on how that news will affect the case.
