Wow. I wish they could still write love scenes like this. I think the writing should be handed over to people who find relationships just as interesting as violence. Clips like this make me remember why I fell in love w/ GH.
Just my thoughts here, but Sonny had never cared for or loved a woman as intensely as Brenda. Like he says in the previous scene, He'd never been straighter meaning honest or forthright with any women ever. I think when he woke up and touched her in the morning it scared him to death. Because he wondered why a woman like Brenda with him at all & because he was afraid he or his lifestyle would screw up the relationship. Sonny is complicated but fascinating!
I agree with you. When this storyline was going on, I hated being an S & B fan! I felt like everytime they were happy the next episode would be a horrible fight! Looking back on it now, I can understand their story so much better. Brenda and Sonny were eachother's first real, adult loves and they stuggled with all the fear, ugliness, & beauty that comes along with that.
very well said, despite what they looked like they'd never experienced something so strong and rare in one another, and of course human nature most would have trepidations fighting for control.
To neetrab: I had sort of known about S&B from the soap mags. But, only started watching in late, '96,' after the, "Twist of Fate, " episode & got hooked! The chemistry between Maurice & Vanessa was awesome! Even though Mo left in, '97,' I never stopped wishing that one day the show would get them back together. I never really accepted Sonny /w/ anyone else. So, when Brenda came back, it was like a dream come true! I got hooked again. Esp. The beautiful wedding & reception.
@ 7:35 - Brenda "Why don't you go and play basketball by yourself like a good little boy, okay?" - LOL! Sometimes you don't realize how great the writing is until you've lost it... like now for instance..lol
Don't you love how she smells the inside of his jacket collar, wants to savour his scent...it was always the little undirected stuff they did that brought Sonny and Brenda to life
Best soap couple eva...watching them makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I don't feel that way about these new couples GH is trying to sell to us. Welcome back Brenda!
@sonnybrenda51 me too! such moments in life and screen are so rare. sonny's been paired with every other woman, but not equal their sparks. in fact, i credit vanessa marcil with making sonny's character likeable. he was loathed when he first came on, during the karen times. maurice even said in an interview he didn't receive much fan mail til his character was paired with vanessa marcil's. viva S&B!
Sonny and Brenda are OFFICIALLY boyfriend and girlfriend. Sonny made LOVE to Brenda last night because NO man is gonna say, "and you still have to ask how I feel about you?" It meant something to him that's for sure.
@ghlusam - yea...well, they were still pretty much in the beginning stages of their relationship. When they slept together, they didn't know that they were really REALLY falling in love at this point. A lot of us S&B fans think they were both pretty scared of what they were feeling.
To neetrab: Also, I can't forget his scene's in the hospital, (when he was willing her to live.) They cheated death to be together! It was like Sonny was woken up & Mo as an actor. His connection /w/ Vanessa was better than ever. S&B really don't have to say alot in their scene's. It's all in the eyes, their smiles & body language. Sigh! I guess I'll have to settle for watching clips of them on here. (Note: I haven't watched since late 2011.)
What's funny watching these earlier clips, and S&B in 2010, 2011. Kate definitely wasn't on Sonny's mind! So, GH trying them out again, right now in 2012 or any other time is ridiculous! I rather Sonny was off trying to find his wife: Brenda!
@mwerner1020 - i thought she WAS a virgin until she met Sonny.. I don't really remember her sleeping with Jaggar or her mentioning that she was with anybody else..
She was not a virgin. That's why she was so scared the next morning. She was used to guys who loved and left. She wasn't a hoe but she had been around the block and could read the tea leaves.

You took my exact sentiments ❤

True straight to his character

Lol it’s ironic bc in the beginning I felt the same way about them … okay up & down all around 😂

ivyfighter And he looks like he smells good! 😍
Yeppppppppppdoooo
Brenda challenge him to dig into his soul. No other women does that. She feel for him, not his charm or mobster life.
Monique Tillery Say that.
Absolutely!!
Absolutely right!!

I've never seen Sonny play basketball they should have him do this sometimes with his kids shows a different side of him and he's pretty good

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
You got that right. Thanks for you input it makes sense.

I love the one on one basketball game between Sonny and AJ who would have thought Sonny would eventually kill him... That's fucked up.
Maurice is so damn hot in this clip....sigh
