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.
Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) isn’t someone you want to mess with on her best day let alone now that she’s going through what she’s going through with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).
General Hospital spoilers reveal Esme’s plan to exploit Cameron Webber (William Lipton) and Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) was a success to a certain extent. However, her entire plan to frame Trina Robinson (Sydney Mikayla) may not unfold how Esme hoped.
General Hospital spoilers and previews hint that Esme won’t be able to pin this one on Trina as she thought, but instead Joss will hone in on Esme herself. It’s true that Trina and joss have been at odds recently, (because of Esme), but that doesn’t mean Trina is capable of filming her two best friends during a private moment.
General Hospital spoilers hint Joss and Cam wrack their brains (boy not too hard) to try and come up with who would do this to them. Joss is suspicious of Esme and will lead to a confrontation.
General Hospital rumors indicate it will be assumed and possibly even factually know that’s Esme is responsible for leaking the sex video of Cam and Joss… and once that knowledge hits Joss’s mom Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright), Esme won’t know what’s about to hit her.
Esme has to answer to Carly now that she has exploited and humiliated Josslyn. Esme has stepped into dangerous territory by getting Carly on her bad side, especially since Carly isn’t up for dealing with any more BS.

She and Brando are enjoying each other’s company in a new city with lots of attractions and amenities. Brando remains unaware that Sasha has fallen into old habits as a way to basically appease him.

General Hospital spoilers reveal Sasha’s way of coping has her fallen back into using drugs. She feels the pressure of keeping her relationship with Brando. She’s not feeling pressure because she doesn’t want to be with Brando, it’s just that she feels she has to act certain way to be able to be there for Brando. Sasha isn’t in the place after their son’s death to give her whole self to the relationship.
General Hospital spoilers and previews suggest Sasha is continuing to hide her drug use in the name of trying to improve her situation with Brando. She doesn’t want to lose him but things will start seeming too good to be true for Brando.
General Hospital rumors hint Sasha’s drug-fueled marriage proposal to Brando seem like a dream come true but will eventually end badly. Sasha continues to deceive Brando, leading him to believe that her ways of coping with the grief has gotten under control.

Trina has even visibly upset with Josslyn ever since she tried to stand up to Esme. Trina didn’t appreciate Joss telling Esme about the book given to her by Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez).
General Hospital rumors suggest Esme has her frenemies right where she wants them now that they are all starting to turn on one another as according to plan.

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.
