General Hospital News And Spoilers: Alicia Leigh Willis Reveals Maurice Benard’s Behind-The-Scenes Behavior Caused Her To Leave GH

Maurice Benard and Alicia Leigh Willis played alongside one another as brother and sister on General Hospital. Alicia joined the cast in December of 2001 through February 2006. In an interview with her former co-star, Willis reveals why she left GH.

General Hospital news reports confirm Maurice Benard recently interviewed his former co-star and TV sister, Alicia Leigh Willis. Alicia portrayed Sonny’s sister Courtney Matthews and is the mother of Sonny’s nephew Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez). On a recent episode of the YouTube series State Of Mind, General Hospital spoilers reveal Alicia Leigh Willis opened up about her time at General Hospital.

In an intensely insightful State of Mind interview, Willis admits her reason for leaving General Hospital. When discussing Benard’s struggle with mental health, Alicia and Maurice opened up about his behind-the-scenes behavior. According to Willis, Benard’s behavior played a part in her GH exit.

“I didn’t know what you were going through,” Willis confessed. “All I knew is that you and I were really close. And I always had a way of taking things really personally. So if someone was in a bad mood around me, I felt like it was my fault, like I had done something.

“So for a long time, I didn’t know which Maurice I was gonna get,” she added. “One day you were the most charming, amazing… and then another day I was a little scared. I was just like, does he hate me? Did I do something? I didn’t understand at the time.

Things Get Dark

Alicia reflected on some dark times while on the set of General Hospital. “I remember the last year of the show was really dark,” she admitted. “I would go to my dressing room and I would just cry. And it wasn’t just that. That was a big part of it, but I felt like we had such a good connection. That was a big reason. So much was disclosed in this interview, as fans saw a new dynamic between Sonny and Courtney’s portrayers. “This is the first time I’ve ever actually said that out loud,” she added. “Because people said, ‘Why are you leaving the show? They’re offering you another four years. You’re a working actress. What are you doing?’ And I’m like, “I can’t stay. I’m so unhappy.’” Willis acknowledged that she has a better understanding now of what TV brother was going through. “This is the first time I’ve ever actually said that out loud,” she said. “Because people said, ‘Why are you leaving the show? They’re offering you another four years. You’re a working actress. What are you doing?’ And I’m like, “I can’t stay. I’m so unhappy.’”

It sounds like Willis and Benard have come to an understanding. “After I saw the Oprah interview, it clicked,” she told Benard. “And now the journey that you are on is so incredible. Because people need to talk about it. I wish we had talked about it 20 years ago! If we had had this kind of dialogue back then? Think of how much easier it would have been for all of us to just talk to each other.”

General Hospital Spoilers: Josh Kelly’s Sticking Around GH, Gushes About Co-Star Kirsten Storms- What’s In Store For Cody?

Mac is Cody’s father Josh Kelly Cody Bell

Mac is Cody’s father. That fact may be all Cody needs to stick around Port Charles. So, when will he tell the truth about his paternity? Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) is a con artist, plain and simple. He may have a teddy bear look to him and a good heart underneath, but, he’s a con artist nonetheless.

General Hospital spoilers reveal Cody is lost without direction, especially since Britt Westbourne’s (Kelly Thiebaud) unexpected death. However, just because his first love interest died in a heart wrenching tragedy, that doesn’t mean he has no purpose in PC. Also, it most definitely doesn’t mean a new love interest come along.

General Hospital news reports reveal, in a recent interview, Josh Kelly opens up about Cody Bell’s life in PC. He discusses his relationship with Mac Scorpio (John J. York), and reminds fans that Cody and Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) aren’t actually related (????, ????). He describes his dynamic with Kirsten as a brother/sister vibe. However, that doesn’t have to be the case for Cody and Maxie.

Josh Kelly explains, “I think he’s always felt like he didn’t belong anywhere, but if he belongs anywhere, it’s in Port Charles. He’s got Dante and Mac and Mac’s whole family — even Maxie, even though they’re not technically related. Kirsten [Storms, Maxie] and I have a really fun time together; it seems like we have kind of a brother/sister friendship because we’re always giggling when we have scenes and we have to be like, ‘Okay, stop, stop.’ But he really does like Mac’s family and wants to stay friends with Mac even though he lied about the paternity test.”

I know that we’re excited to see Josh Kelly stick around as Cody Bell. There’s so much to be discovered about Cody; starting with whatever he and Dante are hiding. Will Sam (Kelly Monaco) get to the bottom of it?
