Alexis Davis, performed by two-time Daytime Emmy-winner Nancy Lee Grahn, doesn’t must be in a Normal Hospital courtroom to cross study a suspect.
Not too long ago, the authorized eagle expertly and verbally filleted Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard, pictured with Grahn beneath from 2024) on the website of yet one more crime scene. This time, it was outdoors Charlie’s Pub following their daughter Kristina (Kate Mansi) being burned in a hearth that was set deliberately.
“No due to you,” Alexis shot again at Sonny after she arrived on the scene and he knowledgeable her that their daughter was going to be okay. Heck, we knew earlier than Alexis arrived that she’d be loaded for bear and wouldn’t hesitate to talk her thoughts.
“So, which one in every of your enemies did this,” Alexis queried with a weary tone in her voice as if she’d requested that query many occasions up to now. “Cease!” she proclaimed as Sonny started to reply, insulted that he didn’t know her inquiry was partially rhetorical.
Sonny didn’t have his lawyer Diane (Carolyn Hennesy) current to object on his behalf so Alexis continued to hammer away on the mobster. Alexis identified to Sonny that they each knew what had occurred. One among his many enemies had gone after him however obtained one in every of his youngsters as a substitute.

“I knew that Kristina working with you was a nasty thought as a result of dying and violence are throughout you just like the plague,” Alexis fired away to her hostile witness, not caring which bystanders overheard her rant. “Something you do, anybody you like, God forbid anybody who loves you again, you simply go it onto them. And I do know you don’t imply to, however you do. And it’s obtained to cease as a result of I’ll not bury one other daughter!”
If Sonny had something to say, he stored silent. However, then once more, Alexis wasn’t asking him questions as a lot as she was letting him understand how she felt about yet one more act of mindless violence that’s affected a baby.
Granted, Sam (Kelly Monaco), Alexis’s late daughter, died due to Cyrus (Jeff Kober) and his warped sense of actuality, however he was additionally one in every of Sonny’s many enemies. And let’s not neglect about Michael (Rory Gibson) being shot and Morgan (Bryan Craig) dying in a automotive explosion.
Alexis shifted from passionate lawyer/mom to protecting mother when she visited Kristina in her hospital room. She half-jokingly instructed Kristina that if she had died then, Sonny would die, too. “I might kill him with my naked arms,” she stated. (Nicely, we’re not so certain she’s kidding.)
In a touching second with daughters Kristina and Molly (Kristen Vaganos), Alexis playfully however emotionally said, “You each are contractually obligated to survive me, understood? As a result of we want one another. And we are able to’t let something separate us.”
Alexis wasn’t simply referring to future fires, gunplay, and kidnappings. She’s determined to maintain secret the truth that Kristina practically obtained Molly’s father Ric (Rick Hearst) killed by tampering along with his automotive brakes.
We see the look of semi-panic on Alexis’s face that this might be revealed at any second and drive yet one more wedge between her surviving youngsters. A narrative doesn’t must be enjoying out within the forefront for Grahn to include a secret like this into her day by day performances. It’s one of many many causes she’s so watchable.
We’ve at all times recognized that we’d need Alexis on our facet if we ever went to trial in Port Charles. However Grahn’s latest performances function a reminder that Alexis is the kind of pal anybody would need of their nook for any cause!
