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.

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. He states, “Without you guys we wouldn’t have these things.”
Be sure to catch the announcement in the video below.
Yesterday, General Hospital star John J. York began his stem cell transplant treatment. The 100 day process begins with 8 days of “heavy chemo.” Reportedly, York explained the risks that go along with the transplant and chemo. In the post below, General Hospital Blog shared details of John’s interview with the news outlet, TV Insider. The full article can be read by clicking on the box below, the link ⬆️.
Today is a new day/week, with new hope for the future. General Hospital news reports reveal that today is also John J. York’s first week of treatment.
General Hospital spoilers reveal that York’s long time co-star and friend, Kristina Wagner reached out to fans via X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. She shared a photo of John with his medical team as all three share the brightest smiles. Below you will find Wagner’s post with the photo including Dr. Kassim, and Medical Practitioner, Anne.
According to Wagner, the chemo portion stats this week while the transplant begins on November 17th. Please keep John, his medical team, his family and supporters in your thoughts and prayers.
@JohnJYork with his medical team, Dr. Kassim, and medical practitioner, Anne. Chemo starts this week. The transplant is scheduled for the 17th. 🙏 pic.twitter.com/x1mtleDXCb
Despite the smiles, York knows the risks that come along with everything from the illness to the treatment itself. “I’ll probably lose my hair, and that’s OK,” he told the outlet. “And, you know, there’s just all kinds of issues. I could, I could pass away. I mean, maybe not from the chemo, but when the transplant starts.”
First, I want to start off by asking that we all keep John J. York, aka our beloved Mac Scorpio in our prayers and healing thoughts. General Hospital’s John J. York has a smile that could brighten anyone’s day. His positive outlook and upbeat personality is a gift to himself as well as those who know and follow him. Additionally, York exhibits great strength as he shares with the world of his current medical condition.
Previously, GH Blog shared the news that John J. York, also known as GH’s Mac Scorpio, announced that he’d be taking a hiatus from the ABC daytime drama. Then, shortly after he gave fans something to think about, York returned to social media for the details. That’s when the iconic actor revealed that he was told he has 3-5 years to live. According to General Hospital news and spoilers, his diagnosis lead to a bone marrow search with Be A Match.
Fast forward and York has come forward with a health update. Reportedly, the stem cell transplant is a 100 day process. According to General Hospital news reports, York tells TV Insider the details of what he faces in the coming weeks. He shares, “The first week is an 8-day process of heavy-duty chemo, where I’ll probably lose my hair, and that’s OK,” he told the outlet. “And, you know, there’s just all kinds of issues. I could, I could pass away. I mean, maybe not from the chemo, but when the transplant starts. So after the eight days of these different chemo treatments that they’re doing, they’re basically wiping my body of what I’ve been living with in terms of my blood and DNA and all this stuff for my entire life. They’re wiping that clean and then they’re gonna put new stuff in me from the donor. And that’s going to be the new me.”
John J York Takes His Stem Cell Treatment One Day At A Time
Treatment takes place everyday unless the doctors see positive results from early on. He admits, “that would be wonderful. Then they may say, ‘You don’t have to come in tomorrow, come in the next day. And then we’ll test after that.’ That goes on for 100 days, and I would say the first probably 20 days [after the transplant] are the crucial days,” is what York told news outlet TV Insider.
The 22 year GH actor continued to describe his upcoming challenges with a positive and bright outlook. However, the long, demanding process can take its toll, but York displays the strength to stay the course. Unfortunately, the treatment doesn’t cease after the 100 days. Instead, he faces more testing. Those tests include biopsy and bone marrow aspiration. “I thought I was done doing bone marrow biopsies, but I still have like five bone marrow biopsies out there. Those are just not my favorite things in the world to do,” the actor admitted. For now, he’s taking things “one day at a time.”
General Hospital Blog continues to keep John J. York in our prayers as he faces these health challenges. His smiling face is enough to carry many through their bad days. Let’s shine our smiles on John to bright his too!
SAG AFTRA reports actor’s and writer’s strikes are over
It’s been about a half of a year since the WGA announced the industry’s eighth writer’s strike since the 1950s. In early May, the buzz around Hollywood and beyond had reached our living rooms. The average everyday viewer became concerned about what this all means for their favorite shows. Then, the actor’s followed suit! Leading to the Actor’s strike.
People started asking questions about the strike and the potential impact. The strike impacts writers and their corresponding applications. For instance, General Hospital and other network Soap Operas film differently than other genres. Daytime dramas are fast-paced and high energy. Therefore, their aggressive pace sets Soap Operas weeks ahead of airing. But even with the grace period, General Hospital’s writers material ran out and that’s when alternative writer’s stepped in.
SAG AFTRA Reports Writer’s and Actor’s Strikes Are Over
After 6 long months, General Hospital news reports confirmed that The Writer’s Strike is officially over. Finally, an agreement has been made between the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). The official SAG•AFTRA Instagram account announced that the picket locations are closed, and the strike is officially suspended as of 12:01am on November 9th.
Thankfully, the worst is over regarding the 6 month old strike. And we no longer need to worry about what might happen if ratings decline during this delicate time. Previously, GH Blog passed along early details of the strike. The information provided was to let us know the risks if the fans stop watching General Hospital. As only one of four Soap Operas left on television, as Days only airs on Peacock, it’s imperative that we keep ratings up to avoid cancellation.
Take a look at the messages shared by SAG•AFTRA as the organization spreads the good news. Finally, the worry is over. Now writer’s and fellow actors can return to work!
Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) and Adam Wright (Joshua Benard) didn’t exactly make fast friends with each other. Instead, he offended and insulted the freshman college student. Let’s just say that Joss wasn’t too trilled when Adam approached her regarding the viral sex video. That said, it’s a wonder that these two are not study buddies, and even friends.
According to General Hospital rumors, Adam’s fixation with Dex’s girlfriend grows stronger. Right now Adam and Josslyn have spent a little time together, but not enough time to have really gotten to know each other. Although his behavior seems a bit suspicious, Josslyn has yet to catch on.
Reportedly, General Hospital news and spoilers reveal that Joshua Benard and Eden McCoy prepare Adam for a front burner storyline. Joshua seems to be the perfect actor to portray Adam, who happens to have a dark side. In fact, he reminds me of someone, don’t you think? Hmm, who else has a good heart and a dark side?!
Maurice Benard’s son first appeared on General Hospital in November 12th, 2018, as a young Sonny who shot Joe Scully (1985).
Adam Takes Josslyn For A Wild Ride
Fast forward a few years and Joshua Benard returns to GH as his own character. Now, Joshua plays a complex role as Adam Wright sheds his skin and shows his vulnerabilities. General Hospital spoilers tease that Adam’s under a lot id pressure from his parents. His GPA is their number one priority. Because of this, Adam has already confided in Joss as they study hard as college freshmen.
While GH rumors tease that Dex warns Josslyn about Adam, new GH spoilers indicate that there’s a reason for the madness. It’s no secret that something is off with Adam. As it turns out, Joshua walks in his father Maurice’s footsteps as his role in General Hospital struggles with mental health. It’s yet to be confirmed whether Adam is bipolar, or possibly has borderline personality disorder. But according to recent reports, Adam will exhibit sort of a chameleon effect of behaviors toward the object of his affection- Josslyn Jacks.
GH spoilers warn, Josslyn better buckle up for this wild ride.

According to General Hospital news reports, Howarth deals with another exit. Currently, Austin is in the thick of things. He’s involved with Sonny Corinthos’s enemy, which usually doesn’t turn out so well for the other side.
