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.
The Corinthos family has never been more torn apart than they are in this moment. The water is already hot where Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Carly Corinthos (Laura wright) are concerned because of Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros). Throwing Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen), Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and Wiley in the mix is a recipe for disaster.
General Hospital spoilers reveal The Corinthos Family is headed straight for war over the little boy who links them all in this messy family feud. Nina Reeves is relentless when it comes to pleading her case but the victim mentality doesn’t work with Michael and Willow. Willow has always been an advocate of keeping Nina in Wiley’s life until recently. The way she is handling things with Sonny with zero regard for Carly or the rest of his family has Michael and Willow convinced that Nina shouldn’t be anywhere near their child. Nina has already threatened to legally fight for her rights as Wiley’s biological grandma.
General Hospital spoilers and previews suggest Sonny takes a stand and tries to demand visitation for Nina to spend time with Wiley. GH rumors hint this will be the last straw, the final push that will send Sonny’s family over the edge. He’s pushing everyone away until Nina is the only thing he has left. Sonny is clearly not in the right state of mind and as a result, Nina thinks she has won.
General Hospital star Nancy Lee Grahn arrived in Port Charles as Attorney Alexis Davis, 26 years ago. Before long she was representing the most powerful mon boss in Port Charles, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), which lead to hopping in bed with him. Their lawyer/client romp resulted in the birth of their daughter Kristina Davis Corinthos (Lexi Ainsworth).
General Hospital news reports confirm Grahn has taken to Twitter to reveal a current medical problem is is currently facing which needs immediate attention.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Nancy’s tweet disclosed some personal and professional information which could effect her status with GH. Grahn thanks the Executives over at ABC’s General Hospital, expressing gratitude to work for the daytime drama for 26 years. She praises Frank Valentini for his support.
General Hospital news and spoilers suggest Nancy Lee Grahn may be stepping down from her role as Alexis as she takes care of herself and her medical problem as per the advice of Valentini. It seems as though she has decided to receive medical attention as she is hopeful this issue is fixable.
General Hospital news reports reveal Nancy has disclosed that she has a benign cyst and although hopefully fixable, it’s painful. She revealed her diagnosis in the tweet below.
It's not death, but a benign cyst on some nerve on facet joint or something I can't spell. It's cry baby painful & Richard need to put on my underwear and pants but hopefully fixable.
We will keep fans up to date on any new developments surrounding Nancy’s medical issue and how it could effect her status with the soap opera.

The friendship and unbreakable bond you see between Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) and Chad Duell (Michael Corinthos) not only shines through their fictional personas, but the connection they share as real life friends has us convinced as well.
Maurice and Chad are a dynamic duo as father and son on ABC’s General Hospital. The strong bond they have with one another looks like it was a match made in Heaven right from the start. However, General Hospital news reports reveal a side to their story we never knew.
Maurice Benard is also known for his YouTube series, State of Mind, where he dives into all things related to mental health, personal struggle, overcoming and accepting weaknesses, development of strength and much more. In a recent episode featuring co-star and friend, Chad Duell, the two open up about how their relationship began.
Chad was cast in the role of Michael Corinthos, son of Sonny and Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright). Although Sonny was not Michael’s biological father, his father AJ Quartermaine (Sean Kanan) was cut out of the child’s life for the greater good (according to Carly). It was 2010 and Duell was stepping into the role of Michael after predecessor, Drew Garrett was fired. GH spoilers reveal Benard admits he was “pissed” after receiving notice that TPTB over at GH fired the young actor as Sonny’s son. Benard admitted he had gotten close with Garrett, and wasn’t very welcoming to Chad.
GH news regarding Chad’s journey starting with his audition reveal he has originally came to audrion for the role of Kiefer, the abusive boyfriend of Sonny’s daughter Kristina Corinthos (Lexi Ainsworth). Here’s there things get interesting. Chad sought out to play Kiefer, but the executives over at GH felt Duell would be better suited as Michael Corinthos, bumping Garrett out of the role. When reflecting on the early times, Duell admitted he was anxious to start his new job since knowing, “somebody just got fired because of me.” Things were particularly uncomfortable for Chad when he reflects back on his first run-in with Mo in the hallway. He said, “I met you in the hallway and you weren’t making eye contact with me. And I was like, ‘Okay, that’s a good start. He wasn’t happy.’”
General Hospital spoilers reveal Benard disclosed he gave Chad the cold shoulder for about 6 months, whereas Chad corrected him and admitted he didn’t think it was for that long. In playful banter, Maurice replied, “Don’t try to defend what I did,” which Chad quickly came back with, “I’m not. I’ll gladly throw you under the bus.” Chad remembers how it felt working through his first scenes with co-star Dominic Zamprogna (Dante Falconeri), admitting he killed Claudia Zacchara (Sarah Joy Brown). A ball of nerves, Duell describes his first scenes as having panic attacks and sweating through two shirts. Chad admitted, “I knew everybody was looking at me like, ‘Oh, this is the guy that got him [Drew Garrett] fired, we’ll see what he can do.’ And the stuff I had to do in that take, like that’s getting baptism by fire. And I think, they’re going to fire me, I felt like I couldn’t do it, I wasn’t performing well because I was too nervous to actually let my performance come through.”
It’s apparent these two have come a long way in their progress at work as well as their relationship on and off screen. Maurice Benard and Chad Duell are like family to one another… a TV father and son relationship that has been able to spill over into their personal lives is what they have become today. Maurice admits that while watching Chad’s intense scenes on the witness stand, he was struggling with coming to terms with how impressed he was by Chad’s acting skills. Benard revealed to Duell, “You were killing it, and I hated it,” Benard disclosed. “That’s how much of a jerk I was. ‘He’s doing so good, dammit. He’ll mess up here… ’ And you never did. It was actually a very good performance.”
Thankfully the tension between Maurice and Chad subsided shortly after Benard watched Chad’s intense scenes. The performance must have struck a cord with the Emmy Winner, admitting, “Then I came around, and we became close,” he said warmly and continued, “Like a real son.”
We love this story so much and are thankful these two were able to grow together and become the pair they are today.
With the help of Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton), Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) has been wracking her brain trying to figure out who is obsessed with either her late husband Franco Baldwin (Roger Howarth) or she, herself.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Elizabeth and Finn keep working toward getting the answers they need to end this threatening situation.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors suggest that perhaps the stalker isn’t really fixated on Franco, but on Elizabeth. But who is obsessed with Liz? Back in her teen years, Elizabeth was a victim of rape. Thankfully she has Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson) by her side as she dealt with the aftermath of the traumatic event. Liz was also the fixation of a Port Charles resident with major ties to the city and its people. As the brother of Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and father of Molly Lansing Davis (Haley Pullos), Ric has roots in PC.
General Hospital rumors claim Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) could rear his head and revert to his days of obsessing over Elizabeth. Ric went into a downward spiral when his obsession with having a baby with Liz and the kidnapping of Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright).
It seems that Betsy Frank is too obvious of a choice, and Liz’s son Jake Webber seemed to be genuinely shaken by the whole thing. Why not throw us for a loop and resurface a blast from the past?
Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) has a heavy heart after finding her husband Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) held up with Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) yet again. She made the hard realization that she and her great love of her life have grown apart. Signing the divorce papers was an intensely emotional event for both Carly and Sonny.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Carly’s recent emotionally exhausting encounter with Sonny calls for a remedy only girlfriends can provide. Carly and Olivia Falconeri (Lisa LoCicero) have become close throughout the years of working together at the Metro Court, while Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco) and Carly have a long history of ups and downs, but have always held a tight bond.
General Hospital previews and spoilers hint that Sam and Olivia take Carly out as a way to take her mind off of her divorce from Sonny. GH rumors suggest their activity of choice is an escape room. Trying to break out of an escape room under pressure doesn’t seem like the best way to calm nerves, but what do we know?! ????
General Hospital star William deVry (ex-Julian Jerome) left the soap opera in December of 2020 when his character Julian Jerome was written out of the script. The writers felt Julian no longer had a place in Port Charles and was killed off in a mob showdown with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).
General Hospital news reports shared updates from deVry as he tweeted about his exit at the time of his departure from GH as Julian Jerome. GH fans were split in their reaction to certain comments devry tweeted about our favorite soap opera upon his exit. While some felt his comments seemed as though he was disgruntled for being let go, some fans argued he meant no harm. GH news reports reveal one major soap opera news site hinted a certain GH related “blog” has called deVry a social media hater. We think we know which blog site they were insinuating in their article.
General Hospital spoilers reveal William deVry has great news regarding his work status in the studio. GH news and spoilers report General Hospital’s ex-Julian Jerome is back on set working on a new prime time gig.
deVry has landed a spot on the March 20th episode of NCIS: Los Angeles in a guest-starring role. The episode will air at 9pm Eastern on CBS.
Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) has been gracious to a fault when it comes to the mercy she has shown Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros).
Nina Reeves has betrayed Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and his family over and over again. Michael and Willow decided Nina wasn’t suited for visitation with her grandson Wiley Corinthos after her comments about Willow not being Wiley’s “real” mother, taking it upon herself to tell the toddler about her own daughter and Wiley’s biological mom, Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier). Time last and Willow and Michael have Nina a second chance even after Michael’s strong reluctancy.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Willow’s graciousness toward Nina is about to come to an end. Although Michael has cut Nina off completely for what she has done to his father Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), his mom Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright), and their entire family, Willow on the other hand has had a soft spot for their son’s grandmother.
Willow doesn’t know the latest between Nina and Wiley’s grandfather Sonny. GH previews suggest Willow will learn of Sonny and Nina’s night together which will change her perception of Nina altogether.
GH spoilers and rumors indicate that the story behind Nina’s long lost daughter is far from over. GH rumors have been speculating for years about how Nelle Benson is not actually Nina’s daughter, or that Nelle and Willow could be twins. The latter seems less believable, but the idea of Willow being Nina’s daughter makes total sense. Thinking back, Nelle having the other half of the heart shaped pendant means nothing in relation to Nelle being Nina’s daughter. However, the necklace belonged to Harmony Miller (Inga Cadranel) Willow’s “mom,” therefore most likely belonging to Willow herself.
GH spoilers indicate Willow will be set off by Nina after knowing she slept with Sonny. Odds are the two women will have an all out shouting match over Nina’s actions, causing Willow to retract her generosity when it comes to letting Nina into their lives through Wiley. Unbeknownst to both woman, their feud is now between mother and daughter.
GH previews and spoilers hint that Willow and Nina’s relationship will be destroyed before they even get to know each other as mother and daughter. The road to rebuilding a mother daughter bond will be long and complicated.
Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) is tough as nails but recently she has been put through Hell with the sudden loss of her husband Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) to then find out Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) had been keeping him a secret.
Nina’s selfish decides lead the entire Corinthos family to believe they had lost the head of the family, husband and father. Carly experienced a miracle when Sonny regained his memories and came rushing home to Port Charles. But that miracle was short lived when she slowly and then devastatingly learned her husband had feelings for the woman who kept him from her.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Carly is out for blood- but not Sonny’s Carly wants revenge on Nina and the latest GH spoilers indicate that Carly will figure out the perfect way to give Nina what she deserves.
The focus on Willow Tait’s (Katelyn MacMullen) fraudulent birth certificate and Harmony Miller’s (Inga Cadranel) shady past bring about old GH rumors surrounding the identity of Nina’s daughter. Ever since Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier) was named Nina’s long lost child, fans remained suspect that Willow was still in the runnings based on Harmony’s shady past and ownership of the heart shaped pendant. General Hospital spoilers and rumors suggest this will open the door to revisit the mystery of Nina’s daughter, just this time brought about from an entirely different angle.
General Hospital rumors hint that Carly will figure out that Willow is Nina’s daughter. No matter what she decides to do with information of that caliber, Carly holds to power over Nina. Carly finally finds the perfect tool to make or break Nina Reeves.
Marcus Taggert (Réal Andrews) surprised the entire city of Port Charles when he popped up alive back in 2020. Other than his ex-wife Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) and their daughter Trina Robinson (Sydney Mikayla) no one was more stunned to see him than Port Charles mobster Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and his enforcer Jason Morgan (Steve Burton).
Recent General Hospital comings and goings reports confirmed Andrews’ temporary exit from the soap opera. GH news and spoilers reported recast information for the role of Marcus Taggert, revealing Asante Jones as the temporary replacement.
General Hospital spoilers indicate that Andrews has returned to the set of GH, reprising the role. Andrews revealed his status with the daytime drama via Instagram.
