General Hospital Spoilers, Rumors, News, & Updates
Tag: Maurice Benard
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.
Of all the things that Nina has done, I can’t even recall whether she’s gone down the blackmail road yet or not. That woman has manipulated and lied using many different tactics, so it’s unclear what she has and hasn’t done to get her way.
Over the last few years, the social climate surrounding some prominent Port Charles residents has changed. For one, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Carly’s divorce became the catalyst for the seemingly permanent changes that followed the ordeal. Whether or not you like the fact that Sonny and Carly are the main focus, indeed they are. So it only makes sense that their breakup would create a ripple effect of changes throughout their family and the community.
Blackmail Isn’t Beneath Her
But GH recaps recall that before their divorce, Sonny was presumed dead. Clearly, his life choices lead to a life of danger and risk, but Carly and his family were always by his side. That is until Nina found Sonny vulnerable, and without recollection of his wife and family.
In Nixon Falls, a broken man washed up, was found and taken to shelter. And we all know the rest! Nina’s selfish decision to keep Sonny all to herself adversely effected so many. Moreover, she did it all to get revenge on Sonny’s wife, who happens to be her grandson’s other grandmother. On top of all that, Nina deceived her own grandson’s grandfather when she lied to everyone.
How low can she go? Well, it looks like Nina’s secrets just keep piling on. Currently, she hides her involvement in Drew’s stay in Pentonville. That one selfish decision has harmed so many in the process, not just her intended target, Carly. Despite what Drew is going through, Nina has yet to come clean to Sonny or anyone else. Additionally, Sonny had to implement a setup for the FBI after Nina’s SEC tip peaked curiosity. The Corinthos Organization has been scrutinized for decades and Nina added fuel to the fire.
Nina Discovers Michael’s Plan Against Sonny
According to General Hospital spoilers and rumors, Nina stops even lower. Back before Nina ever gamed an amnesiac, there was no “Mike,” and Sonny had a close relationship with his children. Then, Nina drove a wedge between Sonny and Michael (Chad Duell). Their relationship took a dive over Sonny’s feelings for Nina. Then, when arguments spiraled out of control, Michael turned on his father.
GH spoilers tease that Nina comes between Sonny and Michael again, just they slowly begin build back their relationship. In the wonderful world of Soap Opera Land, there’s no such thing as a well-kept secret. In fact, I’m convinced that statement doesn’t even hold up on the real world as secret always fine a way to come out. So if you think that there’s no evidence from Michael’s plans, you’re most likely mistaken.
Since Dex said he destroyed only incriminating evidence against Sonny, then we should assume all is good, right? Think again! GH rumors hint that there is another copy out there. It’s possible that Dex kept one for his own personal reasons, or someone could have gotten their hands on the original. The point is, anything is possible. Or Nina could find out about Michael’s plan on a complete different way. Still, GH spoilers tease that Nina blackmails Michael over Sonny and her findings.
Did Sasha’s happily ever after happen too easily? Honestly, I didn’t think so. In fact, I can speak for most GH fans when I say that Sasha has been through more than most. And frankly, she’s suffered enough.
What’s next for Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson)? According to GH recaps, Sasha and Sam McCall’s (Kelly Monaco) plan to trap Greedy Gladys was a success. And the prank phone call worked like a charm. That’s when they got their queue to proceed with the plan. Sam just had her moment in the spotlight, but it’s Sasha’s time to shine.
Currently, she finds herself in a heartbreakingly awkward encounter. General Hospital spoilers and previews indicate that Sasha and Gladys come face to face.
Sofia Mattsson has been put to the test. Shes killing it in the Sasha role. So much so that fans display genuine concern for But maybe in the soap world Sasha isn’t ready for happiness. On the contrary, GH spoilers reveal that Sasha’s problems are behind her.
General Hospital spoilers suggest that in order for Sasha to get over her problem (Gladys), she must face it head on. Sasha wants Gladys to pay and that exactly her intentions when she shows up at the door. Will a corners desperate Gladys turn violent to save herself from being arrested?
General Hospital reached 1 million Facebook followers
Do you recall what was going on in Port Charles in 2013? Sure, ten years is a long time but we aren’t amateurs. Of course we can remember the happenings of Port Charles from ten years back! Remembering one measly decade is nothing compared to the OG fans. Those General Hospital stans are the true ride or die types who have watched since day one (April 1st, 1963). That’s six decades!
General Hospital Reached 1 Million Followers, Cast ThanksFans
While many of us started watching this iconic Soap Opera before we even had our first kiss, we encourage new, fresh fans every day! It’s nice to be able to grow the fan base, especially geared toward the younger generation. As I recall, I began watching General Hospital in 1992 with my mom and my sister. And throughout my pre-teens and high school years my friends also watched. Sadly, today most of my friends have stopped watching. And let’s be honest, we aren’t friends anymore either lol. Haha but that’s another thing.
Remember when Julian called himself Derek Wells?!
It’s hard to below that 2013 was ten years ago. General Hospital news and spoilers confirm that 10 years ago today, General Hospital reached 1 minion Facebook followers. It’s an impressive milestone for daytime drama. And 10 years later and GH is going strong.
There should be a sign around both Carly and Sonny’s necks as disclaimers. Anyone has the right to know what they’re getting themselves into. And with Carly and Sonny anything can happen. The same type of drama and chaos follows although the former Mr. And Mrs. Corinthos are no longer together as a couple. Instead, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) and Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) get to fill those places in their lives.
Well, Carly has been through this with Sonny about a million times. But Drew and Nina are on the outside looking in. Except, the outside is pretty darn close to the heart of the mob violence for Drew. Unfortunately, he’s been roped right in, and entangled in this mess even more than Carly and Sonny themselves.
Carly’s Unintentional Eye For An Eye
General Hospital spoilers tease that Drew Cain fights for his life after being attacked in Pentonville. Carly can’t help to feel the weight of guilt for what happened to Drew. In fact, she blames herself for the fact that he’s locked up in Pentonville in the first place. Carly can’t stand there helpless and allow Drew to go through any more of this. Naturally, she doesn’t want to see him this way. Now she is desperate to help Drew even if that means she goes back on her word.
GH rumors hint that Carly sells out Sonny to protect Drew. Just as Sonny chose Nina over Carly upon his Nixon Falls return, Carly chooses Drew in an unintentional, yet quite fitting eye for an eye situation. Remember, the key word here is unintentional. Still, it’s about time Sonny knows how it feels.
Many refer to the 1990s as General Hospital’s Golden Age. For me, the 90s is when it all began. I was about 10 years old when Ned, aka Eddie Maine sang “Little Sister” to Julia Barrett’s sister, Brenda (Vanessa Marcil).
60 years of General Hospital makes for plenty of an incredible content to debate which era is superior and why. But I honestly don’t think that’s necessary because not everyone began watching during the same time period. No matter your favorite time in Port Charles, the important thing is that we all continue to have new favorite moments for years to come.
Ok, I guess now I’ll list the actors and character names for the above photo. This General Hospital 90s retro gem includes, Wally Kurth (Ned Ashton), Cheryl Richardson (Jenny Eckart), Sean Kanan (AJ Quartermaine), and Crystal Carson (Julia Barrett)! They were exciting times!
Let’s be real here. Not many of us really like to hear the word no as an answer. Some people can’t handle any type of rejection, even if it’s not personal. Oftentimes hearing the word no is taken to heart whether it was meant to be personal or not.
Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned
Curtis Ashford had just woken up from a nightmare, except the nightmare didn’t end when he opened his eyes. In fact, that’s when it truly began. Unfortunately, Curtis was shot at the Metro Court. What makes it even worse is that authorities believe the bullet was meant for someone else. Evidently, Curtis wasn’t the intended target. That’s when the PCPD figured that the bullet was meant for Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) or Anna Devane (Finola Hughes).
After the incident, Selina didn’t waste any time. Curtis didn’t have a moment to collect his thoughts after learning that he’s paralyzed before Selina Wu threw salt in the wound. Immediately, she approached Curtis about The Savoy, and now his professional life is as messed up as most other aspects in his life. Even his marriage to Portia was hanging by a thread.
According to General Hospital spoilers, Selina Wu won’t take no for an answer. Selina doesn’t let Marshall stop her no matter what he says. General Hospital recaps recall that Marshall Ashford (Robert Gossett) stepped in for Curtis (Donnell Turner) while he takes time to adjust to his new life. For the time being, Marshall is in charge of The Savoy. But just because Marshall spoke on behalf of The Savoy, that doesn’t mean Selina likes it, or that she will even oblige. Selina isn’t about to end her poker game.
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Selina Wu goes to war with a new enemy. Marshall isn’t the only one who told Selina she couldn’t do what she wants to do. She went to Sonny, thinking he’d have her back. But when he didn’t, her vibe suddenly changed. Now her mere presence could freeze Arendelle if Elsa ever needed help.
It looks like Selina has reason to use her power around Port Charles. Who will pay the price?
Not too long ago, Ava Jerome (Maura West) came to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) for help. Luckily for her she happens to be the mother of Sonny’s daughter, Avery (Ava and Grace Scarola). Like all of Sonny’s baby mama’s, he respects and honors their position in his life, regardless of whether or not he’s still with them romantically.
When Sonny agreed to help Ava, that ultimately opened the door to a floodgate of various vulnerabilities. Now he finds himself in the middle of a mob situation. And just like old times, Port Charles mobster Sonny needs Carly (Laura Wright) by his side.
According to GH spoilers, Sonny has a major setback when Cyrus Renault’s plan takes effect. Naturally, Carly agreed to help Sonny, but under one condition. She said that she’d help just so long as harm wouldn’t come Drew Cain’s (Cameron Mathison) way.
Now, Drew’s life hangs in the balance and Carly needs someone to blame. She falls for Cyrus’s trap, hook, line, and sinker. Because now that Carly blames Sonny for Drew’s attack, the strength of their bond weakens Sonny’s chances. Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) has Sonny right where he wants him.
Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) is being targeted and terrorized by an unknown enemy. After months of searching for answers while living in fear, Anna is closer to closure than she realizes. As it turns out, Valentin made an alarming discovery with his good friend Nina Reeves’s (Cynthia Watros) help.
To their dismay, the security footage showed Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) entering into Anna’s suite. Naturally, Valentin is beside himself after what Nina pulled up on the screen. And as the good friend Nina is, she continues to help Valentin by keeping Anna and even Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) from the truth. Or, the truth as Nina and Valentin see it.
According to the latest GH spoilers and rumors, Valentin could be dead wrong about his daughter. Just because they saw her enter the room, doesn’t mean that she did all those things to Anna and her belongings.
Moreover, fans have noticed that Charlotte and Jake Webber have been spending more and more time together. While it looks like Charlotte is jealous that Anna will take Papa’s love and affection, sharp-as-a-tac fans recall that Jake was kidnapped by Helena Cassadine and seemingly brainwashed. Then, the storyline fell off and never developed. It might be too obvious for Charlotte to be the culprit. Instead, recent GH rumors speculate that Jake may have something to do with it. Is it possible that the effects of Helena’s programming has come out in Jake?
Anna and Valentin face some more turmoil just as the dust began to settle in their romantic relationship. Over the years, chasing Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) became a way of life for Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).
Eventually, the chase became the ultimate catch when Anna finally took the bait. And that’s meant in the most positive light as Anna realized that she loves Valentin Cassadine. Finally, Valentin landed his lady love. Despite all of the WSB and Cassadine, and mob drama, Valentin and Anna remained strong for themselves and one another. But things started to fall out of place for this tragic couple when Valentin’s secrets began to drop one by one.
According to General Hospital spoilers, Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) continues to help Valentin cover up what they think Charlotte has done. His daughter Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) seems like a sweet, yet troubled girl. Understandably, as Lulu Spencer (Emme Rylan) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) haven’t been the most present parents for one reason or another.
Whether it’s by choice or terrible circumstance, Charlotte has been tossed around to any and every extended family member. She showed troubling tendencies from an early age, and on a few occasions. Immediately, her behavior became scrutinized and compared her behavior to her grandmother’s. Yes, the dark Queen herself, Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers).
As a result of all the chaos, Valentin breaks up with Anna for her own good. Despite his love for her, he has to let her go. In fact, it’s because of Valentin’s love for Anna that he breaks things off. GH spoilers and rumors tease that the risk is just too high, and he’s not willing to take it.
What can I say, this has been a tough year for the General Hospital family. But this week has really done a number on fans and the entire industry. Billy Miller was a talented, genuine soul who lit up not just the screen, but the whole room.
As tributes for Billy Miller continue to pour in, Maurice Benard’s outreach contains a powerful message. Ultimately, mental health awareness is a way of life for the three-time Daytime Emmy winner. While many tributes displayed the most genuine love and support, Maurice Benard takes things to a more serious level, and touches on the issue at hand.
Maurice Benard On Billy Miller and Mental Health
Benard’s YouTube series, State of Mind, allows for open dialogue about life and mental health. As a bi-polar disorder sufferer, Miller’s death hit very close to home for General Hospital’s leading man. According to General Hospital news reports, Benard shared an Instagram post that brings awareness to mental health and suicide. Check out his IG post below!
Since the pandemic I have been speaking out on Suicide quite a lot, in the beginning, I was hesitant, I didn’t know how people would handle it. But it’s been very encouraging so I have not stopped talking about it!!! It’s hard to really understand Mental illness unless you have experienced the depths of pain that comes with it. This is a @mbstateofmind i did about two months ago but there’s many. And I promise you there will be many many more to come if you know anyone who is going through any kind of darkness, chaos, pain. Just know, all you can do is give them love, patience, understanding, and hopefully Professional help if they agree. And unfortunately, if someone doesn’t want to be on this earth anymore, there’s only so much we can do just remember, it’s not your fault never blame yourself
to subscribe to @mbstateofmind link in bio
if you’re feeling in any kind of way, like life is not worth living for don’t think twice to talk to someone take it from the most fragile person in the world you can get through it. And life has a way of rewarding you.
