General Hospital News and Spoilers: Maurice Benard Reveals Upcoming Guest, This Blast From The Past Sends Fans Back To The Golden Era

Maybe it’s just me but I find that nostalgia has a way of bringing communities together. Like, when you and a life long friend begin to reminisce about the days of old, and reflect on the good times. In doing so we tend to remember certain people and events that bring a sense of comfort to mind.

Vanessa Marcil Steve Burton Cari Shayne

For me, the same goes for television and music. Almost all of today’s top 40 pop songs contain music samples from the past. So when you hear this fresh sound with a familiar twist, you kinda feel right at home. Well, that’s how it is for me when my faves from the past return.

I started watching General Hospital in the 1990s like many of you. And I can honestly say that this era seems to have left the most permanent mark on GH fans. That said, do you remember the popular character, Karen Wexler, played by Cari Sheen? She was right there in the middle of heated storylines involving strip clubs, drugs, and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).

General Hospital 1992 The Island

It was the age of “The Island,” when Karen, Jason Quartermaine (Steve Burton), and Jagger Cates (Antonio Sabato Jr.) got stranded on an island. Moreover, it was the first jig storyline my pre-teen self really got into. And for that I will always remember and be grateful I beg and watching GH when I did.

At a recent fan event in Royal Oak Michigan, Maurice Benard discussed GH, mental illness, and everything in between. A hot topic was definitely his YouTube channel, State of Mind. He uses the platform to interview past and present co-stars, and anyone who wants to share their story.

Meanwhile, the sh!t hits the fan back in Port Charles as Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) strategies to save his own butt. It could have been anyone’s guess that Sonny would run to Carly Spencer [Corinthos] (Laura Wright) in his darkest hours. Actually, he knows well enough to run to his ex-wife before the hours become a stark night. Because he knows he can count on her strength and abilities to to what needs to be done. Not just for their family, but for him as well.

Cyrus Renault Pentonville

According to GH spoilers, Sonny and Carly are on their way back to one another. However, that’s neither here nor there at the moment. Instead, the focus is on Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison). But when Carly showed up at Pentonville with Sonny, they all got to thinking. Sonny is certain that his enemies reside within Pentonville walls. So having Drew there has to benefit someone. But who? Although Cyrus admits to helping take down star formidable mobster, it sounds like he might be a spectator in the Pikeman deal.

Apparently, Eddie Maine (Wally Kurth) is quite the charmer! Back in the 1990s he charmed all the ladies, or, groupies as he likes to call his fans. But Eddie Maine hung up his act and Ned Quartermaine (Ashton) went full business mode. ELQ was his passion now. So why did he suddenly turn into Eddie?!

Olivia Quartermaine was beside herself when her husband Ned (Wally Kurth) woke up a new man. Well, new to her because she didn’t know Eddie Maine back in the 1990s. Her husband and his rockstar alter ego couldn’t be more different from the other. Because of this, Olivia felt like she lost her husband for good. But now that Eddie has let his guard down a bit, General Hospital spoilers tease that Olivia falls for Eddie.

General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Eddie is here to stay. Now that Olivia is warming up to Eddie, he may have no reason to return as Ned. Tracy seems to be the only one who is dead against Eddie’s existence. Besides, who wants the pressures of ELQ and your mother breathing and barking orders down your back? Certainly not Ned. And ever more certainly, not Eddie Maine.

General Hospital Spoilers: Martin Looks A Little Nervous, Doesn’t He? Blair Calls The Shots, We Were Right, Blair’s Definitely Involved With The Deceptor!

Oh what a shame, Martin looks so nervous. In my opinion it serves him right for how he treats Lucy. Martin Grey (Michael E. Knight) and Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) may appear to have had a solid, healthy, relationship, but his secrets say otherwise.

Port Charles has become a melting pot for fictional cities from ABC soaps. Like Jackson Montgomery (Walt Willey) from Pine Valley, Blair Cramer from Llanview is from one of ABC’s since cancelled, sister soaps. Personally, I love that ABC keeps these characters alive. They’ve been a part of our culture for so long, and shouldn’t be forgotten. I believe that General Hospital, (and Port Charles) is the perfect place to bring these names back to life. Meaning, the character and the actors who are most famous for portraying them.

Blair Comes For Martin and Tracy- The Deceptor Belongs to Blair

Previously, GH Blog shared the news with fans that Blair Cramer is Martin’s ex-wife. You know, the one who pays him $50K a month? Yeah, that one. We also predicted that Blair would have something to do with the Deceptor. And boy were we right! According to the latest General Hospital spoilers, DePaiva will share scenes with Jane Elliot as Blair Cramer and Tracy Quartermaine.

Ok, so we know that Blair will share scenes with Tracy. That said, is Blair there to confront Tracy about the Deceptor? Or, are they working together against Lucy Coe? Still, it’s possible that Martin stole the Deceptor idea from Blair, and now she’s in Port Charles to settle the score.

General Hospital Spoilers: Like Ir Or Not, Carly is Sonny’s Leading Lady And Always Will Be

Carly’s still Sonny’s choice.
Carly’s still Sonny’s choice.

Divorced or not, the former Mr. and Mrs. Corinthos still know each other like the back of their hands. And the fact that no one understands either of them the way they understand each other tells the story.

The mob life is something Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) chose long ago. Throughout his journey, he’s come in contact with many people. He’s had his fair share of experience with outsmarting and fighting enemies, and protecting his family.

GH spoilers Sonny and Carly get back together

Moreover, Sonny always had a strong woman to lean on. Who am I kidding? Carly wasn’t just a good, strong woman to lean on. Actually, she was his rock. Carly knew better than to give him problems, although she ultimately gave him problems lol. But the way Carly went about things when it comes to Sonny’s business reassured him of her full support. As a mobster’s wife, you have to be prepared for anything. And that, Carly was.

Carly’s Still Sonny’s Choice

Meanwhile, Sonny and Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) play this little game of pretend. It’s the one where they both know that Nina isn’t the right fit for Sonny, yet neither can admit it. But deep down Sonny knows who his perfect match is. Furthermore, he knows he can turn to Carly for anything, at any time. And that’s exactly what he did. Sonny needs Carly’s help and she’s willing to give it. Where does that leave Nina? On the outside looking in.

General Hospital Spoilers: Chase Digs Deeper Into Sonny’s Case- Feds Come On Stronger Than Ever Before

Nina Reeves only thinks she can handle Sonny’s life because she’s never really been out through it. Unlike Carly, Nina’s recent scare was just that. A scare. In fact, it wasn’t even real because Sonny set up the Feds.

Mac receives evidence against Sonny

As golden as his plan was, the PCPD found holes in the story. Things just don’t add up in terms of the Feds and the bogus charges. According to GH spoilers, Detective Chase (Josh Swickard) is on the case. After his and Dante Falconeri’s (Dominic Zamprogna) conversation, they realized that there’s more to the story.

Chase and Dante Investigate Sonny

General Hospital spoilers indicate that Chase heads up this side investigation. Sonny’s son Dante agrees that something’s off, but will he agree to keep digging? Obviously, Dante supports his father and that was made crystal clear throughout these last couple of episodes. So how will he handle it if he and Chase stumble upon some incriminating evidence?

If Chase and Dante go poking around and find something, what will they do? Will Dante withhold evidence against his father? Cop or not, his loyalties lie in his father, not the PCPD. Do you think Sonny Corinthos is untouchable?

In January of 2007, Diane Miller (Carolyn Henessy) was hired as Sonny Corinthos’s (Maurice Benard) lawyer. It wasn’t long before two became friends. Despite his criminal tendencies, Diane can see Sonny’s warm heart and family values.

Over the years, Sonny and his trusted attorney grew close. Not the kind of closeness he and his former attorney Alexis Davis had going on, but close in a family-friend sense. Apparently, close enough to where Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy) feels confident enough in her’s and Sonny’s relationship to blur the lines between professional and personal.

Sonny Corinthos and Diane Miller GH spoilers

According to recent GH spoilers and rumors, Diane advises against marrying Nina. She sees what most everyone else sees, and won’t stay silent. Its obvious to most that Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) isn’t cut out for Sonny’s life. In fact, there are times when even Nina herself knows darn well she doesn’t have what it takes. And that’s why she has come running to Carly (Corinthos) Spencer more than once.

How will Sonny take Diane’s advice about Nina? Will he see what she throws down in front of him? Or, will he continue to walk with the wool pulled over his eyes?
