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.

*Netflix’s Monsters leaves to Nicholas Chavez’s GH Exit*

General Hospital star Nicholas Alexander Chavez is an undeniably talented young man. He first joined ABC’s General Hospital cast on July 1st, 2021. From the start, Chavez had his work cut out for him as the new Spencer Cassadine. He was hired to replace Nicholas Bechtel after TPTB SORASed the role.

Despite having been a young teen when Bechtel left GH, Chavez had some big shoes to fill. Already, the role of Spencer Cassadine held a certain standard. After all Spencer IS a Cassadine. Son of Nikolas Cassadine, aka the Dark Prince, Nicholas Alexander Chavez has to be at the top of his game.

Ultimately, GH fans warmed up to Chavez quite nicely as the grown up version of the character we loved lived up to previous standards. Now he has a huge following made up of majorly devoted fans. In addition to his own success, GH fans can’t get enough of Chavez and his on-screen pairing with Tabyana Ali.

General Hospital Spoilers: Drew Should’ve Taken His Interview As Seriously As Scout Did- Or At Least Make Sure It Doesn’t Fall Into The Wrong Hands

*Scout’s recording lands Drew in hot water*

The people of Port Charles aren’t new to threats, blackmail, exposure, and dropping major bombshells. Furthermore, when was the last time a video or audio recording didn’t result in catastrophic consequences? Exactly. That answer is probably never. So what makes anyone think that this time is different?

According to recent GH news, Cameron Mathison embarks on a new film project. Previously, General Hospital Blog helped spread the news regarding his multi-picture deal with Great American Media.

General Hospital News and Spoilers: Details Behind Cameron Mathison’s Multi-Picture Deal With Great American Media

Immediately, GH rumors began to spread surrounding Drew Cain, and Cameron Mathison’s GH status. The recent news has fans wondering if Cameron [and Drew] is leaving General Hospital.

Scout’s Recording Lands Drew In Hot Water

According to General Hospital spoilers, Scout’s interview could have damning implications for her father. She took her assignment very seriously and fulfilled her requirements from her teacher. Perhaps Drew divulged a little too much during the interview. Or, the recording may have been left running after the fact and could have cause some incriminating information. At this point it’s unclear what was said that could have adverse consequences. But what we do know is that Drew authorized the recorded interview while giving statements regarding Aurora Media. What ever it may be, that recording won’t end up a benign elementary school project.

General Hospital Spoilers: Russian Mob Uses Gloria To Get To Sonny, Is Yuri A Friend Or Foe?

GH Spoilers: Yuri Uses Gloria to Reach Sonny Yuri GH — *Yuri Uses Gloria To Reach Sonny*

Let’s be honest, the everyday grind isn’t easy. In fact, most of us fantasize about ways to live without being a slave to money until we die. Although the typical 8-5 workday isn’t the most appealing, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

Taylor Swift once said, “Don’t you know that cash ain’t the only price?” Sure, someone you know might have body guards, an endless coffee supply, a private island as a safe-house, or designer clothes, a room at the Metro Court, or all of the above. But what is the price outside of monetary terms for the finer things in life? Often times money can buy frivolous purchases but it’s how the money was earned that sits uncomfortably with some people. Or not. Sadly, some people can sleep like a baby while knowing that they are the reason for someone’s pain and suffering.

On the flip side, others life everyday in constant fear of the enemy. That’s when protecting your own becomes more than your first priority. More importantly, an attempt to fortify your entire family’s world becomes your way of life. Port Charles mob boss Sonny Corinthos is a powerful man. Yet, he continues to find himself at odds with a new enemy.

Is Yuri A Friend Or Foe?

A body guard is a highly trusted, highly skilled professional that is hired to protect another person or group. So far, the Quartermaine’s bodyguard Yuri (Cyrus Hobbi) meets both of those expected attributes. He’s been nothing but kind and helpful to the Q clan, especially Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton). Yuri even called her by a nickname. From the looks of things, Yuri is quite fond of Miss BLQ and the entire Quartermaine family.

The Russian Mob 2008

Despite his big Teddy bear-like assets, Yuri could very well be a plant. No, not the kind that grows upon water and sunlight, but rather a decoy. Apparently, Yuri may not be the all-powerful protector like we all thought. Is Yuri there to carryout his obligation to serve and protect the Quartermaine family? Or is the Russian stationed with ulterior motives? General Hospital recaps highlight the year 2008 and its Russian storyline. Sonny had a new enemy, Karpov.

General Hospital spoilers and rumors, Yuri insinuates himself into Gloria Cerullo’s (Ellen Travolta) predicament with the Russian mob. He doesn’t rent to help Gloria. In reality, this is all part of a grander plan to get to Sonny.

General Hospital Spoilers: Spencer and Trina Spark Nikolas and Portia’s Tawdry Affair

You’re probably wondering how in the Hell Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) and Nikolas Cassadine (last played by Adam Huss) would ever get together. Well, it’s complicated. It’s no secret that Portia can’t stand the entire Cassadine family, but ill feelings didn’t stop Ava Jerome (Maura West) and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) from their random crypt encounter. In fact, something much bigger than themselves resulted from that night.

So, does that mean that someone has to die inorder for Portia and Nikolas to throw themselves at one another? Odds are that won’t be the case. Instead, one thing leads to another upon Nikolas Cassadine’s return. General Hospital spoilers tease that Portia isn’t done meddling in her daughter Trina Robinson’s (Tabyana Ali) love life. Currently, Trina and Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) are at odds over this situation with Esme (Avery Kristen Pohl) and baby Ace (Jay and Joey Clay). Regardless, Trina and Spencer truly love each other. Maybe they’ll work this out, maybe they won’t. But this is for Trina to decide.

Spencer and Trina Spark Nikolas and Portia’s Tawdry Affair

GH spoilers tease that Nikolas’s return triggers Spencer. Nikolas abandoned his son in the past and Spencer can’t see past the selfishness. So when Nik comes home, odds are he won’t receive a warm welcome from his son. But instead Spencer lashes out at his father. Additionally, GH rumors tease that Trina finds out that Portia has even sabotaging her relationship. After all, Trina’s mother is the reason that Esme moved into Laura Spencer’s (Genie Francis) home in the first place. Of course, Portia knew exactly what she was doing when she nudged Esme to move in close to her ex.

Shocking General Hospital spoilers and rumors claim that Trina is so angry with Portia that she shuts her out. Moreover, Spencer follows suit and writes off his own father. These dysfunctional parents both pushed their kids to the limit and now they face the consequences. As it turns out, life gets lonely when your children won’t speak to you. But how lonely will Nikolas and Portia get? Enough so that they lean on each other to cope with mistakes?

*GH Fans Petition Roger Howarth’s Return*

Since his memorable role as Todd Manning on ABC’s One Life To Live, Roger Howarth has been an icon and fan-favorite. Despite OLTL’s 2012 cancellation, Roger’s popularity grew. That’s because he landed himself a role on ABC’s longstanding General Hospital. Fast forward to today and we all know the rest.

General Hospital Spoilers: Nikolas Gets His Revenge! Austin Lies Lifeless On The Ground

Nikolas Cassadine has his share of reasons to stay far, far away from Port Charles. First, his relationship with his son Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) was rocky ever since Nikolas faked his death. It’s understandable that Spencer felt abandoned, and distances himself from his father. Emotionally, the two were further apart than ever. Spencer was back from boarding school and living at Wyndemere, distance separated father and son.

Nikolas had other problems in his life but they all stemmed from the same issue. It was a vicious cycle back when Spencer and Esme both had it out for Nikolas and Ava. As a result, Spencer’s resentment towards his dad and step mom helped fuel Esme’s agenda. Additionally, Spencer unknowingly fed into Esme’s trap which helped lead Ava and Nikolas astray from each other. It was the straw the broke the camel’s back for Spencer.

Nikolas Killed Austin Over Ava?!

Once Esme seduced Nikolas and she became pregnant, time eventually did its job. It was only a matter of time that Spencer found out about how his father Nikolas slept with Esme. At this point Spencer had been betrayed by Nikolas enough. And on top of that, he found out who is girlfriend really was.

Ava Jerome (Maura West) was roped into the middle of it all between Nikolas and Spencer. But Ryan’s fixation on Ava fueled Esme’s entire plot, resulting in Ava’s marriage to Nikolas. According to General Hospital spoilers, Nikolas gets his revenge! The last time that he saw Ava was the night she thought she killed him. Until recently, Ava assumed that he was dead. Thanks to Austin, Ava was able to hide Nikolas’s body, or so she thought. That’s when one thing lead to another and Ava ended up sleeping with Austin. Now, Nikolas wants revenge.

GH spoilers and rumors tease that Nikolas killed Austin for revenge. He knows that Ava thought that she killed him, and the fact that she slept with Austin might be enough motive.

General Hospital News and Spoilers: Roger Howarth’s Dreaded Phone Call, GH and OLTL Star Exposes Truth Behind GH Exit

Dr. Austin Holt (Roger Howarth) was doing the right thing after doing a many things wrong. Although Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) pulls the strings, Austin still carried out criminal acts on top of the lies he told to Ava Jerome (Maura West). The thing is that Austin wasn’t a bad guy but he did bad things because Cyrus had the upper hand. After all, it was Cyrus who paid Austin’s way through medical school. But was it really worth it when Austin was never able to outrun his debt?

Earlier this week, General Hospital star Roger Howarth confirmed his GH exit and Austin Holt’s unexpected death. General Hospital recaps recall the latest storyline shocker! Dr. Austin Holt took the righteous path and was preparing himself to give Cyrus up to the PCPD in exchange for immunity. After all, he only commutes those crimes and told those lies because Cyrus and Mason (Nathanyael Grey) gave him no choice.

Austin Dies

General Hospital spoilers reveal that Howarth has filmed his final episode. His two and a half year run as the peculiar Dr. Austin Holt from Pautuck is over. But this isn’t the first time that Howarth’s role has been given the axe. The Daytime Emmy Winner is best known for his role as Todd Manning on One Life To Live. Since the Soap Opera’s 2012 cancellation, Howarth has played various Daytime TV roles. In fact, he became known for playing more than a couple characters on the same Soap. First Roger brought OLTL’s Manning to GH. Then, he was written off and he has played two other roles on GH following the Llanview legend. While General Hospital fans mourn Austin’s death and Howarth’s departure, hope remains that he returns as someone entirely new.

General Hospital News and Spoilers: BREAKING! Roger Howarth Confirms GH Exit, Ends His Run On GH

Why Roger Howarth Is Leaving GH

“Several weeks ago I got a phone call from somebody I’ve known for a very long time who I love very dearly [GH and OLTL Executive Producer Frank Valentini] telling me that when my contract was up at ABC I would not be offered a new contract and that the character of Austin would be killed, and that this was something they both wanted and needed to do to move story,” the iconic daytime television star revealed to Soap Opera Digest. “And it took me a minute to kind of adjust, to kind of hear the news; it took a second for me to let that settle in.

“And then, immediately, I realized how lucky I was to have been able to do something I really love doing for more than a decade with people who I really enjoyed working with,” Howarth continued. “I’m a lucky guy. I had a great run and this was a decision made by people who make these kinds of decisions for a living. For me, I felt it was very much like that scene in Moneyball and Jonah Hill had just told me I’ve been traded. I feel very respected and supported. For a long time, I’ve enjoyed coming to work, learning lines, and saying them with really cool people.”

Will Roger Return In His Fourth Role?

So much is to be said about a 30+ year acting career. Daytime Television has been luck to have a talent such as Roger. The best is yet to come!

Clearly, there is no bad blood between Howarth, Valentini, and TPTB over at GH. Roger’s statement clarifies any misunderstandings that may have developed through recent GH rumors. Although Roger cleared the air and shared the truth behind his GH exit, one thing remains uncertain. Soaps are known for some wild casting shifts. And it just so happens that Howarth is iconically known for his role change-ups. Three different roles on one drama is impressive but can he match co-star Michael Easton at four?

General Hospital News and Spoilers: Rebecca Budig and Jophielle Love Together Again- Will Hayden Return For Violet?

The General Hospital cast is full of family. Some get along, and some don’t. And some are super loyal, while others plot against each other.

Mostly, mothers and daughters have either a deep bond with unconditional love for one another, or a strong hatred that could go one or both ways. Moreover, some mother-daughter duos like Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Samantha McCall (Kelly Monaco) had to build their relationship back from below ground level. Similarly, Carly Corinthos and Bobbie Spencer aka Barbara Jean (the late Jackie Zeman), also started off on two wrong feet. However some mother-daughter relationships ew simply beautiful from the beginning. Take Carly and Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) for example. There’s no doubt that those two spitfires are thick as thieves. Well shoot, count Lois Cerullo (Rena Sofer) and Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) in there too!

Will Hayden Return For Violet Rebecca Budig Jophielle Love Elizabeth Webber Rebecca Herbst

General Hospital news and spoilers highlight mommy-daughter relationship that is strong even outside the set of General Hospital. Rebecca Budig and her television daughter’s real life relationship is even close than that they share in screen. In fact, Violet Finn’s (Jophielle Love) on-screen mother left Port Charles and she’s been raised by her dad.

Will Hayden Return For Violet?

Additionally, Violet’s aunt Elizabeth has most definitely played a large role in her niece’s life. But Hayden isn’t the only one that Aunt Elizabeth has gotten closer to. Liz and Finn are officially a couple. While Violet is comfortable around Elizabeth, things will be different while Finn is busy fighting the lawsuit. GH spoilers and rumors tease that now is the perfect time for Hayden to return.

According to GH news and spoilers, Rebecca and Jophielle reunite. Rebecca and her tv daughter spent time together recently, but they weren’t alone. A recent Instagram post displays a highlight moment when Rebecca and Jophielle hung out with a bearded dragon.
