General Hospital’s Maurice Benard
Maurice Benard is a three-time Daytime winner for his role as Sonny Corinthos on ABC’s General Hospital. Benard joined the Soap Opera in August of 1993. Since then Port Charles has never been the same. Organized crime has become an ongoing problem on the local and even Federal level.
The Port Charles Police Department has their work cut out for them when it comes to PC’s most prominent mob boss. When he first arrive in 1993, Sonny was law enforcement’s number one priority. Today, the fact remains that Sonny gives the authorities a run for the money. He’s been arrested and detained, and even put on trial. But the PCPD and the Feds have yet to stick the landing.
General Hospital: Sonny and Laura handle Sidwell together
Mayor Laura Collins stands on high moral ground. She’s no phony goodie two shoes because she actually is one. Thanks to Jenz Sidwell, Laura is torn between two decisions with various possible outcomes.
First, Laura’s option could be to stick to the plan and keep quiet. She called Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) to help her out of the dead Dalton mess, and now there is no turning back. Unless… unless Laura takes option two, and turns herself in.
Should Sonny and Laura Handle Sidwell Together?
Coming up on General Hospital, Laura continues to struggle with uncertainty. She and Sonny are in this mess together, but she’s the one who roped him in. But if we want to get technical, then Laura would never have been in this situation if there were no Sidwell. No mob. And who’s responsible for bringing the mob life to Port Charles? None of there Laura’s life long friend, Sonny. Regardless, it doesn’t matter how you slice it. Laura and Sonny are in this together.
Do you think that Laura should turn herself in, or stick to the plan with Sonny?

Sonny and Laura have been friends for decades. He has always come through for her, even when her moral compass has pointed her away from his direction. Lately, Laura has shown loyalty when it comes to her roles as Mayor and friend. She sticks by her relationship with her grandson’s grandfather, despite her political position.
Well, General Hospital Blog asked Maurice Benard what HE would want Laura to do in this predicament. Does he want Laura to turn herself in, or ride this mess out together with Sonny? Maurice said that he’d want Laura to stick with the plan and ride out this Sidwell mess together, because turning herself in “would be boring.”
Do you agree? Who the hell wants boring? This is General Hospital for crying out loud!
Mayor Laura Collins (Genie Francis) has been living alone for over a year. Her husband Kevin was in Dublin, and returned home this week. General Hospital recaps recall that Laura was open and honest about everything that went down with herself, Professor Dalton (Daniel Goddard), and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).
She knew this was much bigger than anything the PCPD could handle, and she was right. That’s when she turned to her mobster Bestie for help. Together, Sonny and Laura hashed out the situation. Sonny then called Jason and handled things from there. Now Kevin wants to step in and help to clean up her crisis. However, he wasn’t present at the time, and there is no place in mob business for the Mayor’s husband. Laura handled things as she saw fit in the heat of the moment.
Was Sonny The Right Call To Make?
Framed for murder after a public crash out and verbal attack on the victim? Who else would you call but Sonny? Apparently, Kevin wants Laura to call the cops.
Coming up on General Hospital, Laura discloses more of the situation to Kevin (Jon Lindstrom). Evidently, she tells him about Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and Ezra’s (Daniel Cosgrove) little visit to their home and the threat that came along with it. Sidwell has eyes on Laura just the same as he has eyes on Britt. At this point it seems like there’s no way out.
Today’s General Hospital previews indicate that Kevin doesn’t like the sound of any of this. Dr. Kevin Collins offers up some advice, and suggests she turn herself in. Will Laura implicate Sonny because of Kevin?
General Hospital: Bryan Craig Opens Up About His Soap Opera Style Brush With Death
If he hadn’t opened up about what he went through to Maurice Benard on State of Mind, then you probably won’t believe Bryan Craig’s real-life soap opera experience. Although cliche, love is blind is what they say, and Bryan Craig admits having been blinded by love.
A few back, General Hospital’s Bryan Craig experienced something most of us would only hear of in the National news, or literally on a Soap Opera. General Hospital perhaps?
Love Is Blind
Long story short, Bryan met a girl. He fell in love and moved to Mexico where they shared a home during Covid. Bryan and his ex-girlfriend were quarantined at the time, which added even more dramatic flare to the situation. Admittedly, Bryan noticed numerous red flags.
According to Craig, he had been on her computer and noticed some suspicious messages. He saw messages from older men asking his ex when she was free to take trips, along with compromising photos of her with various men. When he confronted her, she turned the tables on him and asked why he was looking around where he shouldn’t be. Craig described her as a narcissist, but that’s only a fraction of what was truly going on.
GH’s Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig)
She Was An Escort For The Mexican Cartel!
Ultimately, Bryan discovered that she was a sex worker for a very dangerous Mexican cartel. Does it sound like a Soap Opera yet? Just wait…
Things took a very dark turn as Bryan booked a trip for the two of them to Tulum to celebrate her birthday. That’s when his relationship seemed like it was taken straight out of a General Hospital storyline. Bryan invited some friends to celebrate with them, booked a flight, and headed to their destination. Then, Bryan’s ex-girlfriend leaned over to him and said that once the plane lands, they will go their separate ways, and in separate cabs, and to never contact her again. At this point Bryan figured that was a joke, but soon after, sadness and fear loomed over him. She wasn’t kidding.
Heartbroken And In Real Danger
Heartbroken and confused, Bryan leaves on his friends and lots of alcohol to cope with what had just happened. Bryan told Maurice that he was “three sheets to the wind” when he spotted her at the same party. She walked into the house with another guy, and Bryan was crushed.
Soon after, the former GH star realized that heartbreak was the least of his worries. Suddenly, he found himself in a life or death situation when he was jumped by various men who happened to belong to the Mexican cartel. He said they kicked the sh!t out of him, pointed their rifles at him, and lifted him over their heads, “like a human sacrifice.” He was left there alone, beaten and afraid.
Eventually, he made it back to the hotel and met up with his friends before leaving Mexico. He never returned to the home they shared together, and actually stayed with his parents for a while.
Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) remains in jail after unlawfully accessing and trespassing inside Professor Dalton’s (Daniel Goddard) research lab. General Hospital recaps recall that things got out of hand when Dalton lied. Sonny wasn’t going to stand for Dalton framing Rocco. ADA Turner focuses on Sonny now that Dalton is missing.
Coming up on General Hospital, Rocco’s family continues to work towards his release. Certain family Emmett’s have their own unique way of getting things done- especially when family is at risk, or in any kind of danger. Right now, Rocco is behind bars for something he sort of did. He may have broken into the lab with Britt’s stolen key fob, but he definitely didn’t destroy Dalton’s lab.
Meanwhile, Rocco’s grandparents, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Laura Collins (Genie Francis) are harboring a secret that’s pivotal to Rocco’s case. Now that Dalton is “missing” Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) must navigate the situation differently. She knows how angry Sonny is, especially after Rocco got roughed up in jail. Was Sonny’s threat enough for Justine to make it a point to nail Sonny for Dalton’s murder?
General Hospital: Laura and Sonny- Partners in Crime?
Setup by Sidwell!? Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) is always a step ahead even when he’s fallen behind. It looks like Sonny received the two miracles he was hoping for. His dear friend Laura Collins (Genie Francis) won the election, and Measure C didn’t pass. Meaning, Laura is still Mayor of Port Charles, and Sonny (Maurice Benard) gets to keep his piers.
For now, all is right on election night, but things quickly take a dark turn. According to General Hospital recaps, at the end of GH’s 11-20-25 episode, Laura discovered Dalton’s dead body in the trunk of her car. What she first thought to be routine car trouble ended up being a title horror show. Except you can’t turn off this episode, or close your eyed until it’s over. For Mayor Laura Collins (re-elect) and Sonny Corinthos, this is the beginning of a calamitous, life-changing event.
Sidwell’s Perfect Plan For Rocco’s Grandparents To Take The Fall- Two Birds, One Stone
Coming up on General Hospital, it’s likely that Laura’s gruesome discovery leads to a tragic path for herself and her friend, Sonny. Ezra Boyle may have lost the election and Measure C may not have passed, but Sidwell comes out the victor. The latest General Hospital spoilers tease that Sidwell framed Laura and Sonny for Dalton’s murder. He used their friendship and family connection to make it look as though Laura had Sonny “take care” of Professor Dalton, mobster style.
What more perfect crime exists than two grandparents conspiring to kill the man who put their grandson in jail? A more perfect crime would be the frame job-whoever set up the grandparents to take the fall- now that’s the perfect crime.
The Two Birds: 1) Mayoral Election (Laura), and 2) The Piers (Sonny)
The Stone: Dead Dalton
Sidwell framed Laura and Sonny for killing Professor Dalton. Why It Works: Laura and Sonny are open about their life long friendship, and family connection. They are Rocco Falconeri’s (Finn Carr) grandparents. Sonny happens to be a mobster. Laura happened to publicly threaten Henry Dalton (Daniel Goddard). It will look as though Laura turned to Sonny to take care of the naught Professor, in order to protect their grandson. This way, despite Laura’s win, Ezra Boyle becomes Mayor of Port Charles. And the other half of Sidwell’s plan is to take Sonny’s piers. Who else would they go to of Sonny goes to jail for Dalton’s murder?
General Hospital: Mayor Laura Collins Wins PC Election
Well, the people of Port Charles have spoken and the votes are in. The Port Charles Mayoral race was called, and Laura Collins was crowned the victor. Despite all of her doubts, and Congressman Drew Cain’s (Cameron Mathison) conviction, Laura beat Ezra Boyle. Now, Measure C won’t pose a threat when it comes to moving Sonny out and Sidwell in. Dalton’s death changes everything for Laura!
General Hospital recaps highlight Drew’s smug conviction, Laura’s win, and Dalton’s death. Coming up on General Hospital, Laura faces uncertain times. She threatened Dalton publicly, and now she may face some serious and undeserving consequences.
According to recent GHrumors, Laura finds Dalton’s body after being shot and killed by a Sidwell. After her public threat that things won’t “end well” for Dalton, is Laura accused of his murder? Her connection to PC mobster doesn’t help the situation, and accusations run wild.
Will the public view Sonny and Laura as partners in crime?
General Hospital : Is Laura Spencer Collins (Genie Francis) in the middle of a mob war?
Mayor Laura Collins (Genie Francis) wouldn’t hesitate to throw her weight around to help her grandson. She knows that Rocco (Finn Carr) was framed, and that Professor Dalton (Daniel Goddard) is the one who framed him.
According to 11-17-25 GH recaps, Laura loses it on Dalton when she sees him after the hearing. Mayor Collins publicly lashes out at the PCU Professor right there with an audience, and not without recording devices pointed in her direction. Some may even say that her behavior is indicative of too much time spent with a mobster.
Will Laura and Dalton’s encounter over Rocco do her in as the election votes roll in? Right now she’s put her Mayoral hat to the side and is in full blown Grandma mode. But will Laura’s public crash out scare off her constituents? Maybe Laura’s friendship and family connection to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) becomes a problem for voters after all?
What If Laura Finds Dalton Dead?
On the November 17th episode of General Hospital, Rocco Falconeri’s hearing went south. Suddenly, he faces multiple felony charges, and even the possibility of having to spend time in the slammer. It turns out that Dalton destroyed his own lab to pin it on Rocco. Despite Sidwell’s instruction to drop the charges against Laura’s grandson, Dalton did quite the opposite.
Coming up on General Hospital, things get even worse for Laura when she makes disturbing discovery. Apparently, GH rumors tease that Sidwell had Dalton killed, and Laura finds him dead. It sure looks like a mob hit considering the recent events that went down. Will the people of Port Charles believe that Dalton’s death is a mob hit on behalf of Laura and Rocco? After all, Sonny is Rocco’s grandfather. Or worse, does Sidwell make it look like Laura did it?!
General Hospital star, and heart and soul of the modern day era of the show discusses his future plans as Daytime TV’s infamous mobster, Sonny Corinthos. Maurice Benard joined General Hospital’s cast in 1993. Before long, Sonny’s presence greatly impacted the overall way of life in Port Charles. Organized crime has remained a focal point of the 62 year old Soap Opera.
Today, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) himself is the center of the show. For many, a world where a Sonny-less General Hospital exists, is a world unfathomable. However, Maurice has also made a name for himself in the mental health community, and can be seen hosting his own YouTube channel and talk show. State of Mind’s popularity continues to grow as Maurice’s mental heath based talk show gains traction among fans.
Recently, Benard sat down with Richard Taite, Executive Chairman of Carrara Treatment Wellness and Spa, and Host of We’re Out Of Time. They discussed GH rumors, and Benard cleared the air about his future as Sonny Corinthos on General Hospital. Benard addressed rumors that he’s dying (obviously not), and confirmed that he’s not leaving. “I think they’re saying I’m dying too, like I have cancer or something,” Benard stated then went on to confirm, “No, I’m not leaving. I’ve got a year left on my contract.” Maurice told Taite.
Rest assured, Maurice isn’t leaving any time soon. In fact, he The 62 year old continued to give insight into Sonny’s future. The beloved General Hospital star and YouTube host stated, “Look, I’m going to retire, but I don’t think it’s going to be before I’m 65.” He added, “So it is what it is, but we’ll let people say what they say.”
While GH fans can put their worries aside for now, the inevitable hangs in the balance. During the interview, Taited wished Sonny to stick around until he’s 75. But Benard replied, “Well yeah, but I don’t think Maurice can… my reason is that it’s mentally taxing on me.”
As GH fans, we will take things one day at a time. Be sure to check back with General Hospital Blog for all the latest GH spoilers, news, rumors, and comings and goings updates.
General Hospital: ADA Turner (Nanzeen Contractor) and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard)
Another one bites the dust? ADA Turner falls for Sonny Corinthos just like those who came before her.
ADA Turner thought she could resist Sonny Corinthos’s charm. Actually, it’s safe to say that Justine downright denied his alluring demeanor altogether. But that was then, and this is now. It looks like softball can have quite an effect on human interaction. The Mob Boss and the Assistant District Attorney went from throwing punches to supportive crutches. How could ADA Turner lay down the law on Sonny now?
Sonny’s Ladies Of The Law Turned Lovers
According to General Hospital spoilers and rumors, Justine Turner will try, but like many before her, she will fail. Not in any particular order, here are names of the ladies of the law who came before Turner: Claire Walsh (Dahlia Salem), Margaux Dawson (Elizabeth Hendrickson), Hannah Scott (Lisa Viltaggio), Reese Marshall (Kari Wuhrer), and the very first Lawyer turned lover, Alexis Davis (Alexis Davis).
Will ADA Turner succumb to Sonny’s Charm?
Coming up on General Hospital Sonny and ADA Turner find themselves beguiling. Apparently, their mutual attraction becomes more and more obvious. Some GH rumors claim that their reciprocal allure may even be irresistible. General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that ADA Turner falls for Sonny!
General Hospital: Sonny (Maurice Benard) and ADA Justine Turner (Nanzeen Contractor)
General Hospital: Sidwell Admits to Framing Selina and His Nefarious Plans for Sonny Corinthos
Is Sidwell about to be schooled at his own game? According to General Hospital recaps, Sidwell admitted to framing Selina Wu (Lydia Look) for setting Charlie’s on fire. Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) thinks he’s slick. He’s committing crimes while playing dumb, framing mobsters, and he thinks he’ll never get caught. If all goes according to plan, Sidwell gets away with the violence and destruction, while others go down for his dastardly deeds. But what if everything he divulged to Selina wasn’t just between them?GH Rumors speculate that Selina Wears Wire To Trap Sidwell!
Just like Selina Wu said, she’s been around a lot longer than Sidwell. Although she and Sonny (Maurice Benard) have shared a few awkward moments, he still trusts Selina over Sidwell any day. Besides, General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Selina had something up her sleeve-literally. GH recaps recall the conversation between Sidwell and Selina about the fire at Charlie’s. Sidwell’s plan to frame Selina has worked well enough so far to run her out of town.
Selina Wears Wire To Trap Sidwell
Retrospectively, the conversation went a little too smoothly. Selina didn’t resist much when she learned she was framed, and then ran out of Port Charles by the new guy in town. In fact, she wasn’t even frazzled. Her mind was clear and she asked Sidwell some insightful questions. Lucky for her, he provided clear and concise answers.
Coming up on General Hospital, Sonny still needs to find who really set Charlie’s on fire and almost killed Kristina (Kate Mansi). Although Sidwell may think he committed the perfect crime, framing Selina and all, but GH spoilers tease otherwise.
