## Storylines

On April 13, 2022; two gunmen suddenly burst into Charlie's Pub right where their bosses Victor Cassadine and Johann Bauer were at with guns pointed at Sonny and Nina nearly two months after the death of Peter August and five months after the death of Jason Morgan on Cassadine Island. One of the gunmen named Eric Watson says not to do anything stupid and they might live through this. Sonny says to take what they want and he and Nina will stay out of their way. Eric tells Sonny to shut up and stay there in revenge for the late Peter August. Sonny tells them to turn around and go and this will all be over.

Brando and Sasha are coming back to Charlie's and see the gunmen named Eric Watson and Harry DeFranco in the door. Brando tells Sasha to call the police and get out of the line of fire. Sasha wonders if he is coming with her.

Eric tells Sonny to open the till and empty wallet and jewelry. Sonny warns that the night's profits have already been deposited so it will just be petty cash. Eric tells him to get it but sends the other gunman to follow Sonny. Eric asks what Nina is doing. Sonny says that Eric doesn't want to touch her. He sees Brando in the window. The other gunman asks Sonny for his watch. Sonny says that isn't happening as it belonged to his dad. Eric can't believe it.

Brando comes in and slams Eric against the wall. He knees him and throws him to the floor as Nina points a gun at Eric. Sonny punches the other gunman several times and throws him over the bar. He asks if Nina is ok and thanks Brando. Eric and Harry were later arrested.

One week later on April 20; Sonny hears that the gunmen made bail thanks to their lawyer whose name is withheld thinking it was either Diane Miller, Martin Grey, or Scott Baldwin; but none of the three represented Eric and Harry and they have yet to meet the Eric and Harry's lawyer whose name is withheld. He is later meeting with his bodyguard Frank who shows him Eric in the trunk with tape on his mouth. Sonny tells Eric he will soon join his friend Harry and then Sonny laughs as the trunk is closed.

On April 27, Dante gets a call that Eric is at G.H. He recognizes him as one of the robbers in revenge for the late Peter August arrested at Charlie's. Dante later tells Sonny that Eric is suffering memory loss and some injuries. Harry DeFranco is still missing as they were later replaced by The Hook.
