[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 317231, member: 27"] Diane would not represent Carly or Sonny because of the conflict of interest as well as the fact that she considers them both to be friends. She has represented them (separately) numerous times, so if she were to choose one over the other, the friendship with the other would likely be ended. Then, whatever decisions made in the negotiations would likely be challenged or appealed by the other lawyer since Diane would have too much insider information on his/her client. In short, having Diane in the proceedings at all would just make everything messier than it already promises to be, and Diane would not benefit from involving herself at all. I'm actually proud of GH for not even attempting to have her involved. If Carly really wanted to go scorched earth, she could demand an audit of Sonny's assets in order to assess just how much money she should ask for in her settlement. The last thing Sonny needs is to have a public light aimed at his books, since everyone in town knows there's a lot more to his income than Corinthos Coffee! But of course she won't go there. She would say it's to "protect the kids," but of course it's because the lawyers would ask her how much she knew about the mob stuff and why she didn't say anything years and years ago. [/QUOTE]
