He said the new writers, Shelly Altman and Jean Passanante have a big job ahead of them.

We want to wrap up storylines and keep the show fresh,” Varni said.

One of the biggest events of September will be Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Carly’s (Laura Wright) wedding plans. The wedding will center around bring the Corinthos family together.
