1[[WMG: Sonny talking about Lily like she was the love of his life is the result of NostalgiaFilter as opposed to a {{Retcon}}.]]
2Fans have long been up in arms over Sonny's gushing over his late wife Lily like she was a saint and his true love. After all, he never wanted to be married to her in the first place and always wanted Brenda instead. However, isn't that [[NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead what people often due with dead people]]? Their negative memories subside and positive ones become more powerful. Plus, for all her flaws, Lily was loyal and understood what was expected of a mob wife. This is something he has had problems with regarding his love interests ever since, even with Brenda who he really loved. Of course, then there is the fact that she is the fact that she was carrying his first child (that he knew of) when she died and that he blames himself for her death. Therefore, a StepfordSmiler who he largely viewed as a [[PlatonicLifePartners platonic life partner]] at best and a burden at worst is now his ideal wife and TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth. This is a good example of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn1jr5g63kg

4[[WMG: Connie intentionally woke up as Kate as her final act to destroy Sonny and Kate's relationship]]
5This troper believes that Connie intentionally let Kate have control again so Kate could see that Sonny had sex with Connie. Connie thinks that if Kate would see this, she would immediately leave Sonny for good. Thus her work would finally be done.

8Jeremy Baker directly mentioned ''One Life To Live''. It's hard to say how many soap operas the older characters remember.

10[[WMG: Sonny's shipments are contraband and/or not exactly illegal.]]
11If he isn't selling drugs or women, there are very few things that he could be selling. Maybe the fact that he's often labeled as Public Enemy #1 is not that what his organization sells is illegal, but that the means in which it is sold, is. When he first came onto the show, he did sell drugs, but either it has been retconned that he never did or decided that he was better than that and found a new avenue instead. He could possibly be selling weapons instead or selling some form of vigilantism that either he or his men carry out (the shipments are not monetary payments, but property payments instead that Sonny sells on the black market to make his money). Maybe the shipments are stolen merchandise that Sonny sells on the black market, which would mean that his organization is just a glorified den of thieves. This would normally not be a problem for the police, but it's the scale and size of it that makes it qualify as organized crime and thus, shows why Sonny gets so much flack for it. His business possibly (with the exception of the vigilantism) is consistent of only misdemeanors that because they're on a mass scale, amplify it into the criminal syndicate everyone seems to see it as.
