Sonny & Brenda - The wire scene

[@nicoleyeahpau2001]

I remember when this aired. I was in high school and got to leave early for an appointment. I was so happy that I got to watch my favorite soap while waiting.Then this scene came and went and the entire waiting room of patients was so locked in and it was dead silent throughout. After we were all like "wow"!!

[@danielles9498]

One of the best scenes between Sonny and Brenda. I so miss the days of soap operas when I stayed glued to the television. I couldn't wait to get out of class to watch General Hospital. I also miss Brenda and Sonny as a couple. Vanessa and Maurice definitely should have won a day time emmy for that scene.

[@DGdezignz]

When he says “then why are we doing this” omgod my heart broke ... Omgosh years later and still!!

[@lakeside321]

This scene is as raw as the first time I watched it. I ran home from school to watch GH, this breaks my heart. They murdered this scene wow!!

[@cgreen399]

I did the same!

[@fransmith645]

THAT WAS GENERAL HOSPITAL AT ITS BEST! WHAT A POWERFUL HEARTBREAKING SCENE. LOVED N HATED IT.

[@MyDymin]

You can cut the tension with a knife. Man, my heart drops every time I watch this like it's the first time. This scene is so POWERFUL!

[@Junebug-dc8qw]

Such a good intense scene. They don't have scenes like this anymore.

[@CarolC32]

This is so sad to watch. Maurice & Vanessa were so intimate with these scenes. This story wrecked Brenda & Sonny for a while, but the love was never broken.

[@desireeboone3631]

Brenda sounds like a cop with all the questions, I think that is what made sonny even more furious. She sounded like she was interrogating, not asking sonny.

[@celgrl28]

OMG, this is one of my favorite S@B scenes.When Sonny is telling Brenda that he loved her and he thought she loved him too, My heart aches...the music that is playing in the background is perfect. This scene was written brilliantly and performed with such rawness and intensity by both Vanessa and Maurice! To bad GH lacks this type of writing and acting nowadays.

[@TheMkgirl77]

I saw this when it first came out. Intense then and intense now

[@GlenBulb]

I was blown away by that scene at the time and it's lost none of its power. GH at its finest.

[@uploader06]

One of the best scenes in daytime history , WOW !

[@miss.g-shun-w]

Wow I was 13 when this first aired. Nearly 20 years later and this still gives me chill bumps and it still makes me tear up! God they were on fire together. Their chemistry was off the charts. Immeasurable. One of the last great "Supercouples".

[@moniquetillery7336]

Yup

[@Savinaismybaby26]

I was 14 lol when this aired

[@crystaljewel1073]

Ms.gshunw I was 15 I remember like this like it was remember

[@nikkisvibe9453]

I was 13 too!

[@PrinceDJj]

This scene was so powerful because it showed the true character of a person it showed you how fast love/trust/loyalty can just disappear in an instant it showed how an person can legit let ppl come in between their relationship get in their head an fuck up everything this was amazing Man I wish I was born when this happened so I could see the fall out and genuine emotions

[@veebrame9901]

This scene would never be allowed to play out today and thank God for that. Sonny threatened to hit Brenda and he put hands on her physically. He shook her and pushed her. She ends up on the floor trying to cling to his leg. Sonny is a violent man who kills people for a living. Also, there is no limit to the emotional abuse he inflicted on Brenda throughout their relationship.

[@lynnsanders8627]

What an emotional scene. Made me cry. This has got to be the best scene I ever seen on a soap. Dang. Sonny' eyes said it all. When he said I love you Brenda. He was all choked up. I can't believe the writers did that to them 😭. Amazing writing but it ruined them.

[@moniquetillery7336]

Absolutely

[@tobashawilks4601]

The hardest scene to watch outside of when Sonny left Brenda at the altar.

[@Loyalfinestrider6386]

That transformation. The eyes went dark and cold ouuu sweet Jesus

[@RebelDavis]

Oh man, I still remember watching this for the first time all those years ago. That was when GH was at it's very best. The writers and the storylines were far superior to anything that on today. That's scene is so hard to watch. It tears me up to watch it again. Vanessa and Maurice deserved Emmy's for their performances there. I wish GH could be as good as it once was.

[@candikisses26]

I've seen this scene so many times yet my tears still fall. I've cried so many times w/ Brenda over Sonny. Gotta love S&B!

[@arrianawilliams6368]

This was a powerful scene him shaking her so hard because he’s doesn’t wanna hit her, backing away from her throwing her hands off him. Her gut wrenching cries as he walks out the door, sonny look on his face when he pulled the wire out. Just speechless it’s such a powerful scene

[@sonyab1974]

Great scene! I remember this. Watching this again, Sonny brings up his step father and he was so upset, made me cry! :(

[@jennhunt1996]

I agree. It's like I'm taking an emotional punch every time I watch it. Simply Amazing.

[@gwen36330]

Still miss Sonny/Brenda......He will never have a love like that again.......

[@moniquetillery7336]

He surely has not. I'm tired of his mob character. He was good and happy with Brenda. She brought the best out of him. She could handle the mob life. She never told anyone he freed Frank Smith. She saved his life. All she wanted was the truth. How can you make a life with someone that keeps you in the dark and keeps putting your life in danger. People praise Carly but she got out in time before she lost her life. Carly no different except she loves danger like Sonny. They both are dark. Brenda truly loved him she was too beautiful and too young to go through that stuff with Sonny. He treated her so badly. He never deserve her. She did not were the wire to hurt him, but to protect him. They already had the proof. Sonny always put his faith in the wrong people

[@moniquetillery7336]

+gshunw yup Team Sonny and Brenda forever

[@crystaljewel1073]

gwen adkison nope he won't

[@sageadvice157]

@@crystaljewel1073 He should. The constant poorly written mob storyline (Spinelli, really???) tanked the show. Mob would have been better played as someone trying to get out of the game not someone running a mob exporting/importing coffee. Plus Carly is a trash character that should have died when SJB left.

[@murdahmammiez]

He has carly which is a much greater love than brenda could ever be

[@sageadvice157]

This was so heartbreaking...but I'm so glad she wore that wire in retrospect. It changed their relationship for the better. By 1997 they were perfect for each other and it was all because Sonny learned how to love and face loss (Stone's death) and forgive after betrayal (Brenda). Brenda also was able to grow up because of making so many mistakes, sleepign with Miguel and also because of Jax who showed her another side to herself. If MB had stayed they would have been married and then who knows...but it would have been epic, too bad the actors had to move on from the show and this s/l.

[@19aries19]

I feel so lucky to have watched GH during its best years!! Scenes like this don’t happen anymore

[@kiarafrank3282]

lucky

[@jgcsn3533]

Omg absolutely amazing the best scene !!!

[@22haitianbaby]

This was the best in GH with Sonny and Brenda i still remember when i first saw it when i was a little girl with my mom grandma and sisters!

[@JasonLovesElizabeth]

This was my fav scene.. I was so stunned. I love it when TV can make you GASP

[@jazmenwilliams4185]

I never understood how Brenda was going to let Sonny make love to her, knowing she had the wire in her coat?!

[@malachitoyreview9567]

only came here because of the comments on the Todd and Blair belt scene comparing. still gotta love the way Todd reacted WAY scary lol

[@teew3986]

Yeah Todd and Blair belt scene was....child...something else. This is a great scene, but their scene was...*shivers*.

[@neetrab]

@mwerner1020 - haha! Yea I know! I think it was like that for EVERY S&B fan. We were ALL glued to the tube to see if S&B was going to get back together. And I would say my favorite part of the S&B era was when they were both trying to make each other jealous. Her conjuring up a plan with jax to make sonny jealous, and sonny acting like he was so in love with lily (when we ALL know he wasn't)...then the kiss behind lukes restaurant/bar was the IT moment for me... lol!

[@kathyadorno5488]

WTF did she think was going to happen. She let her so called friends manipulate her. Would Lois do that to Ned???

[@xolexo5324]

I just read an interview where the writer of the show (Karen Harris) said they originally planned Brenda to be framed and put on trial because of Sonny's crimes. Then, Sonny would obviously feel horrible and confess to everything. I'm curious how that would have worked out! @t

[@sandrajohnson4778]

I asked the same question.....Lois would never ever betray nedly like that.....but Brenda couldn't make up her own mind.

[@LifeIsNotorious]

Brenda was suspicious about it too.

[@stacydetwiler1475]

If this wasn't a soap opera but real life she would be so deadWow. Excellent acting.

[@randinatkowitz2487]

One of the greatest scenes of all time!!! Vanessa and Maurice were amazing!!!

[@MenelikTime]

As much as mike and sonny was at odds he felt that wire were way top! Poor Brenda

[@kmdaley916]

I remember this scene too! I was in 8th grade and always got dropped off from school before it aired. I would quickly shower then watch this. Sonny and Brenda were always my favorite couple. But then I loved Jax and Brenda! I miss them being on the show! This must of been in 1995? I was in 7th and 8th grade!

[@kashiera1234]

Brenda wore the wire for reasons i still dont understand even after hearing her explanation but Lily she grew up that lifestyle and if she wanted to get sonny thrown or put away she could but she didnt

[@BklynBabe]

Two dysfunctional people in a toxic relationship... It was a great ride though!

[@lareina9071]

Soap operas are full of dysfunctional couples..normal would be boring.

[@qvxcswqr]

that’s…… the whole point of soap operas lmao

[@denisecase807]

This scene made me hate Sonny and Brenda together, even more. His abuse of Brenda, and her taking it, is pathetic and sick.

[@CAM8689]

getting shot at in the shower tends to do that to you she should have dealt with the situation in a better way but the way things where going something had to give.

[@NikiReynolds_2swift]

I seen this too and it broke my heart.

[@tammyramey]

LOVED that scene!!

[@MenelikTime]

Sonny moved out that house... For one he felt the place was bugged and two he and Brenda had too much memories there so it would of killed him to stay!

[@angelarichardson9833]

I can watch this every day. I couldn't stand Lois and Ned. They weren't her friends. And stop telling them everything Brenda!!!! Dang. That's your man between

[@angelarichardson9833]

You and him

[@PeaceNotPerfextion]

I remember this so clearly!!!!

[@carmenfalette5942]

Iconic scene!

[@Loyalfinestrider6386]

You’re turning me into my step father. Is that what you want. Oh my goodness

[@Rma202]

ok please dont hurt me.... couldnt she have said all of that... without the wire

[@brinkgrl]

Why was she wearing a wire if she loved him so much?

[@kashiera1234]

You know all you Brenda and Sonny fans can hate Lily all you want for her being with Sonny or causing them to break up but she didnt make Brenda wear the wire, she was only being a friend to him. I'm sorry but if Brenda was not going to turn the tape in then why was the wire neccesarry in the first place that makes me doubt her. Lily would never do that and while I am not a Lily and Sonny nor a S&B fan I truly believe what Brenda did was wrong and Lily was not.

[@lareina9071]

I hate Lily cuz she's wack.

[@kashiera1234]

@jasoncarly I believe that honestly or not that would have happened because she was like that of a child;she should have acted like a woman in a relationship and realized that maybe this was something he could not have told her or she should have broken up with him not worn a wire.But seriously if she was not going to turn him in then what was the point of the wire in the first place? Obviously she did not believe in their reliatonship enough to trust him as he said and yes he trusted lily

[@sageadvice157]

What woman allows herself to get shot up in a shower and still doesn't want to know what their man is up to? He should have been a man and told her. He was just too ashamed of himself to tell a woman like her who he put on such a pedastal he was a low level mob rat. She didn't know believe in their relationship enough neither of them did. They were at a bridge...one that all relationships come to right before you decide to be together forever or leave it alone. He didn't trust Lily so much as Lily had mob ties herself. Ones that he wanted to grow his own empire mind you. Brenda was 18 when they first got together, she was a baby...she was just growing up and confused because so many people were in her ear and she didn't know if she should keep going, she needed Sonny's truth and his assurance which he didn't give her because he was unsure if she should keep going too because he felt she was too good for him....hence the altar.

[@kashiera1234]

@jasoncarly because she was trustworthy and understood him. She was acting like a child and could not trust what he was saying and did one of the most ultimate betrayals and he did NOT bring that on himself, she did that and caused their break-up. What are you talking about? He did not believe Lily when she told him of the wire, he believed in Brenda and called Lily a liar until Brenda came to him wearing it and trying to incriminate him. I didnt feel sorry for Brenda because if she loved him

[@emilyaguilera724]

This is a good scene...

[@fated0858]

How did brenda think she was going to let sonny make love to her and hide the wire

Still very painful to watchb for me, great acting and story telling.

@brinkgrl my same damn question cuz that is not love even if she didnt plan on giving it to the police, why was the wire needed then??

[@JasonLovesElizabeth]

yeah you do Robin/Kimberly and Maxie had some powerful scenes.

[@lindadowns4193]

I don't know why the Writers wrote this story&broke them up? SMH and I Agree Brenda didn't have to ware a wire Especially if she wasn't planning on using it🤔 And Lily had been trying to break them up for Months!!! She knew that would seal the deal.

[@amit790]

No I don't think she did. That I only assumed, but Sonny now thinks she did, thanks to Carly

[@kashiera1234]

@jasoncarly as she said she would have never worn the wire that could have cost him his life.

[@neetrab]

@GHfan300 - It's been so long since this scene... I pretty much forgot a lot of these old clips. thank God for youtube huh? You said "this must have been so amazing to watch live.".... just wondering... Are you old enough remember this scene?

[@lindadowns4193]

Twenty years and she Still Can't handle his life style.

[@sageadvice157]

His lifestyle should have been changed after 20 years. What he is doing now on GH is not a mob tale...it's all over the top drama, no wonder after Brenda/VM left the show the ratings declined....Sonny/Brenda was the best and VM brings the ratings everytime she returns.

[@MyDymin]

Brenda can handle his life just fine. This was brought on by pressure from EVERYBODY Mac, Felicia, Garcia, her "BESTFRIENDS" Lois, and Ned....Brenda was only 21. Nobody CARED enough to warn any other woman in Sonny's life like they did Brenda.

[@natalieps2387]

Was not watching regularly until 96. I think this is 96 but I missed a lot. I started watching after clink...boom & watched tony bobbie carly the cassadines so it was around the fall when I started taping while I was in school. Why did brenda do this ? Someone said she wasnt really gonna go to the cops? Plz someone explain. Also did she marry jax after barely knowing him? It's not exactly a wire it's a recorder. Isnt a wire when its taped on you & the cops are listening ? Then people say sonny never loved lily but it's been brought up by him how much he loved lily. If sonny moved on with lily married her & got pregnant than wasnt brenda foolish to give up jax? If lily didnt get blown up he would have been with her. He chose lily over brenda. Whether fans believe he loved brenda & not lily. In a gh anniversary special I think vanessa thought jax was better for her. She said " jax is so perfect no man like him exists in real life "

[@lareina9071]

Nope, Vanessa never said that. She was being sarcastic about Jax saying he's not a real character because he has no flaws. That's unrealistic. And Sonny never loved Lily like that...you need to watch from jump to understand the actual story.

[@DeDesLOVE]

The entire Sonny and Brenda saga is on KZbin. Search for their names and you can watch every episode from beginning to end.

[@janetevis1735]

Brenda is desperate and needy

[@lynnsanders8627]

I don't think Lilly would have. She grew up with that life. Brenda was very young and naive and was so cautious yet questioning etc. she was not good for Sonny. As much as I love the chemistry between them they were so wrong for each other. She could never fully understand his life and he couldn't keep her safe. Hate to say it but Brenda would have been much better with Jax or someone else. Although I like Sonny and Brenda to much together to like any of their other partners.

[@sageadvice157]

Brenda was the best woman Sonny ever had in his life. Jax was such a one dimensional character. The only reason people think he's right is because the show played on his captain save a hoe (prince charming) always there to catch a bish if she fall tale. He was one note...there was nothing there. She would have left him for Alacazar if not Sonny in the long run....

[@Cassie86R]

i loved brenda and sonny

[@lol21432]

The problem with these two is that Sonny loves BRenda so much he cant stand to be with her and put her in danger....so not sure if they ever will be married or together but they always are connected moreso than any woman in his life.

[@tweetied]

Best scene in Daytime History

[@neetrab]

You as well as us don't know if Lily would have worn a wire or not if she was Sonny's girl. We all thought Brenda wouldn't have worn a wire, but she did.

[@kimberlytyrcha5930]

Why would Lily have worn a wire? She knew Sonny was in business with her father, therefore, she knew who Sonny was and what Sonny did. She grew up in that world, she knows it and understands it. She would have know better than to ask questions about "business."

[@lareina9071]

Lily would have left Sonny for Sanchez which is what they were setting her up for. The character was killed off by the writers because the audience hated the character. She was weird...played innocent but was conniving and for some reason the writers didn't want to just make her the villian she was destined to become.
