Maurice Benard’s Emotional Announcement
Maurice Benard’s Emotional Announcement

I can’t think of a better person to make this announcement than General Hospital’s leading man, Maurice Benard. It seems like no matter who you talk to, everyone knows all about Sonny Corinthos. Over the years Benard’s portrayal of Sonny has become the show’s foundation. I mean, what better way to utilize a hospital than with victims of mob crime?

Needless to say but General Hospital as we know it wouldn’t be the same without Maurice, aka Sonny Corinthos. That’s why it’s most appropriate that Maurice Benard shares the news of this special achievement. Moreover, Maurice has personal experience with the milestone.

Maurice Benard’s Emotional Announcement

According to recent General Hospital news and spoilers, Benard joins ABC’s General Hospital on their official Instagram account. There he will unbox a plaque and announce an awarded achievement. As we know, social media holds unprecedented power in our society. They don’t call it social media influencer for nothing. That said, as an individual, organization, or group that produces significant societal impact typically strive to reach milestones. Therefore it’s imperative to grow your audience for increased engagement, hence influencing.

GH hasn’t been around for 60 years and counting for nothing. Clearly the iconic Soap Opera’s influential practices are in alignment with what fans. The Executives over at GH have stayed current with the times and utilize social media platforms effectively. So much so that GH has received an award for the show’s influence on our culture.

Benard announced that GH was given an award for reaching 100,000 YouTube subscribers. The three-time Daytime Emmy winner acknowledged GH’s hard work it takes to accomplish this milestone. That’s because Benard could relate, as he reached this milestone on YouTube as well. Most importantly, Maurice Benard thanks GH fans for their continued dedication. He states, “Without you guys we wouldn’t have these things.”

Be sure to catch the announcement in the video below.

Little Jake is Alive! Check Out Recaps of His Death, It Will Bring You to Tears

LuckyJakedeathGeneral Hospital’s Summer Stunner is no doubt one of the biggest shocks we could have ever asked for. A few years ago Elizabeth Webber and Jason Morgan lost their son when he got out of Liz’s house and was hit by a car. His adoptive father Lucky was beside himself at the loss of his son and the fact that his own father, Luke, was the hit and run driver.

These gut wrenching scenes will bring you to tears as you watch Elizabeth, Jason, Lucky, and their loved ones go through what no parent should ever have to experience… the loss of a child.

Helena has always been evil, but we have just realized her maximum capacity at evil doing. As it turns out, little Jake is not dead, in fact, he is very much alive. In this week’s scenes where Luke Spencer and Helena Cassadine said their goodbyes, she informed Luke that she has a parting gift for him. That gift, is that the grandson he thought he killed while he was drunk driving, is not dead at all. Instead, little Jake was part of another one of Helena’s evil plots to put the Spencer family though Hell.

Take a look at this amazing video recap created by a GH fan, YouTube user. It will definitely bring you to tears, and give you a little history refresher in the process. Take a look!

The Identity of ‘Fluke’ aka Fake Luke Spencer

There are many rumors circulating in regard to the true identity of the man impersonating Lucas Lorenzo Spencer, better known as the legendary Luke Spencer. The most popular guess or suggestion among fans is the character Bill Eckert. Bill Eckert was Luke’s cousin, therefore they have an uncanny resemblance to one another. This would make a lot of sense since he already shares Luke’s physical attributes.

There is supporting evidence that may help prove this theory to be correct. Back when Bill was in Port Charles he was part of the Cartel with Brenda Barrett’s Father Harlan Barrett. Since the bank roll connection lead to Barrett Enterprises, this could be yet another connection to it all.

In Friday’s episode of General Hospital Fluke spoke directly into the camera while answering Luke’s question of who he is. He responded to Luke by saying, “I have your face.” Could that be an inclination of his true identity? Since Luke’s cousin Bill Eckert literally has his face, is that what the fans were supposed to catch on to?

On Monday, when Bobbie was arguing with Julian, telling him to stay away from Lucas, Julian said something to Bobbie that got fans thinking. Bobbie told Julian he is too dangerous and to stay away from Lucas. She blamed him for Lucas being shot. At that point, Julian stated that he is his Father and that Lucas is in more danger from HER family now. Since Bill Eckert is Luke’s cousin, he is part of Bobbie’s family.

Other evidence supporting this fan theory is an interview from 1993. In an interview with Pure Soap, Tony Geary discusses his disappointment in the story line involving Bill Eckert and the death of the character. Since Tony Geary wasn’t too find of the character dying, perhaps this is GH’s way to bring Bill Eckert back for a while in hopes to redeem the memory of him.

Check out this video from 1993 and decide for yourself. Is Fluke really Bill Eckert? Comment below and let us know your thoughts!
