It's a hallmark of daytime characters that they never learn from the past; they keep jumping to wrong conclusions, believing lies, and fecklessly accepting assumptions. (Honestly, it's like they don't know they're just characters on a TV show!)

That's why I want to say "Bravo" to GENERAL HOSPITAL's Sonny the Skeptic! He has actually shown signs of learning. Sonny was suspicious of Lucian from the moment Suzanne brought him to the house. His jaundiced eye demonstrates that he paid attention to the usual hijinks in Port Charles; he's seen characters with secret agendas lie, and he's familiar with Suzanne's past cruelty to Brenda (Y'know, all that "letting Brenda think her child was dead" stuff.) His wife wants a kid, and lo and behold, Lucian materializes? Seriously?

Having said all that, everything about Brenda's "miscarriage" — she woke up and the fetus was simply gone — throws up red flags for veteran soap watchers. I am certain that Brenda's offspring did not die. But is Lucian that kid? Well, we shall see....
