The destruction of S&B ... complete

The final nail in the mystical romance known as Sonny and Brenda has not been hammered home just yet, but for now, their fairy tale love has been put on hiatus.

The goodbye was as heart wrenching as the wire episode all those years ago. Sonny did his best to piss off the love of his life and get her to see that he is not the man she thinks he is. That part of the breakup was the worst because Brenda does know Sonny and the danger of his life is nothing new to her. Sonny teased his bride by telling her he would move to California with her and Alec only to pull the rug right out from under her and telling her the house would be great but the life would be a lie.

Sonny also talked about how the power means too much to him and power, not love, is the one thing he can't live without.

Brenda in turn told Sonny how she had to learn how to be a good mother and that she had warned him that Carly would ruin his life. Carly may not have ruined Sonny's life, but she most certainly did ruin Sonny's marriage to his soulmate.

In fact, Carly and Jasper Jacks got exactly what they wanted - they successfully had a hand in the destruction of Sonny and Brenda. Sonny, just had to rescue Carly again - from herself. And Jax once again had to find away to make Brenda fear for her life and her son's life by putting seeds of doubt in the brunette's mind. Both were successful and Sonny and Brenda broke up over something that really had nothing to do with either one of them.

I guess one saving grace is that Brenda, though she allowed Jax to be her "white knight" to provide her transportation out of Port Charles but she didn't allow him back into her heart and Sonny, though Carly immediately began sniffing around him, made it clear he was not moving on with her, again.

Oh and the other saving grace is, when Brenda returns to Sonny, Robert Guza will not be writing her story for once and we may actually see the REAL Brenda for her entire story arc, not just parts of it.

Both Sonny and Brenda know where their hearts belong and eventually, they will find themselves back together, again riding off into the sunset, growing old together.
