What can I say, this has been a tough year for the General Hospital family. But this week has really done a number on fans and the entire industry. Billy Miller was a talented, genuine soul who lit up not just the screen, but the whole room.

As tributes for Billy Miller continue to pour in, Maurice Benard’s outreach contains a powerful message. Ultimately, mental health awareness is a way of life for the three-time Daytime Emmy winner. While many tributes displayed the most genuine love and support, Maurice Benard takes things to a more serious level, and touches on the issue at hand.

Maurice Benard On Billy Miller and Mental Health

Benard’s YouTube series, State of Mind, allows for open dialogue about life and mental health. As a bi-polar disorder sufferer, Miller’s death hit very close to home for General Hospital’s leading man. According to General Hospital news reports, Benard shared an Instagram post that brings awareness to mental health and suicide. Check out his IG post below!

Since the pandemic I have been speaking out on Suicide quite a lot, in the beginning, I was hesitant, I didn’t know how people would handle it. But it’s been very encouraging so I have not stopped talking about it!!! It’s hard to really understand Mental illness unless you have experienced the depths of pain that comes with it. This is a @mbstateofmind i did about two months ago but there’s many. And I promise you there will be many many more to come if you know anyone who is going through any kind of darkness, chaos, pain. Just know, all you can do is give them love, patience, understanding, and hopefully Professional help if they agree. And unfortunately, if someone doesn’t want to be on this earth anymore, there’s only so much we can do just remember, it’s not your fault never blame yourself

if you’re feeling in any kind of way, like life is not worth living for don’t think twice to talk to someone take it from the most fragile person in the world you can get through it. And life has a way of rewarding you.

General Hospital Spoilers: Victor Controls Charlotte From Beyond The Grave

GH Spoilers: Victor controls Charlotte
Victor controls Charlotte

Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) has really outdone himself this time. It seems that each and every one of Victor’s plots become increasingly nefarious.

The Cassadine family is infamously known for their wild plots to take over Port Charles, and even the world. And to think it all began decades ago with the one and only, Helena Cassadine. Mainly, the Cassadine’s had their sights set on Luke Spencer (Tony Geary). But over the years their darkness and greed grew. Then, before too long Luke wasn’t the only one who had to watch his back.

Moreover, the Cassadine/Spencer family war became widely popular over the years. But why would the Cassadine’s let all their power and energy to go after just one enemy? Why not go for more? Well, that’s exactly what the evil Cassadines did. At this point, no one in Port Charles was safe from them. Not even members of their own family.

From Stavros to Stefan, Helena to Victor, these were the darkest of Cassadines. Still no member of that family is more feared than the evil dark queen herself. However, she isn’t the only Cassadine whose reach goes beyond the grave. According to recent GH spoilers and rumors, Victor controls Charlotte even after he’s gone. Apparently, there’s something about those tarot cards that’s got Charlotte hooked! In fact, this isn’t the first time that the Cassadine’s used tarot cards as part of another one of their machinations.

Does Victor have his own granddaughter carry out his revenge on Anna Devane (Finola Hughes)?

Sadly, today marks one full year since Johnny Wactor’s last day on ABC’s General Hospital. In just under three years, Wactor established a devoted fan base that has stuck with him even after having left GH.

On the anniversary of his GH exit, fans share a behind the scenes video of Johnny Wactor’s emotional speech. First, if you need a a refresher, check out the GH recaps in the article below.

We couldn’t help but get nostalgic when we same across this video in our social media feed. Undoubtedly, many General Hospital fans miss Brando Corbin and curse Heather Webber’s (Alley Mills) name for what she’s done. Previously, Wactor left the door open to return to the 60 year old soap.

General Hospital News and Spoilers: Kin Shriner Returns! Is He Just In Time To Help Lucy?

It’s always a party when Scotty Baldwin is around! It looks like Lucy is ready to let loose in the midst of some very stressful times. Personally and professionally Lucy’s got a lot going on at the moment.

First, let’s rewind a bit to mid-Spring. That’s when General Hospital star announced that his role as Scotty Baldwin has been written out of the script. You can check out the article from May 17th by clicking on the title below.

According to GH news reports, Kin Shriner returns to GH with style. I mean, it can’t get much more stylish than strolling back into Port Charles, then having Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) on his arm. Although recent GH spoilers and previews indicate Lucy is trash to party, Scotty doesn’t look like he’s really in the mood. But recent General Hospital rumors indicate that bad mood or not, Scotty’s arrival helps Lucy in her time of need.

Is Deception going to need a new lawyer to handle this intense case? Both Blair, Kramer and Tracy, Carter, Maine or ruthless business women who aren’t just going to roll over in the quart room. Besides, Jack Montgomery, attorney-at-law is representing them. Even if Scotty becomes a Lucy’s lawyer, do they stand a chance up against Montgomery?

General Hospital Spoilers: Sonny’s Flustered When He Notices Similarities Between Dex And A Certain Someone

It starts. The bond between Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) starts now. For Dex, that bond likely already started the night Sonny invited him to sit down for some pasta. That’s when Dex really saw another side of Sonny. Suddenly, things looked differently to Dex ever since he realized that Sonny has a genuine heart.

According to GH recaps, Sonny made a comment to Dex. It was in the heat of their Pikeman conversation when Sonny verbally expressed that he was impressed by Dex. First, he asked for Dex’s input on the Pikeman situation which lead to his impeccable attention to detail. Then, Sonny was pleased at how through Dex’s thought process was. He said, “Damn. Turned you on and you just go.”

It seems to me that Sonny is starting to notice little things about Dex. And sooner than later he begins to realize something. According to GH spoilers, Dex reminds Sonny of Jason. He begins to notice similarities between his new enforcer and his life-long friend.

Previously, General Hospital rumors made claims that Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is Dex’s father. However, the rumor began gaining more credibility once GH casting rumors claim that Steve could be headed back to General Hospital. How long before Sonny puts the pieces together and figures out that Dex is Jason’s son?

General Hospital Spoilers: Charlotte’s Caught In The Act! Nina Deletes The Security Footage?

We have to give it up for Cynthia Watros and James Patrick Stuart. There is something about that scene that is so very authentic. Shockingly, Valentin and Nina react to what they’ve witnessed. To their dismay, they find Valentin’s daughter, Charlotte Cassadine suspiciously entering Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) Metro Court suite.

General Hospital recaps recall the desperation in Valentin Cassadine’s eyes when he asked Nina not to share the evidence with anyone. Evidently, she never gave him her word. Instead, Nina just gave the “soap opera stare” (made famous by Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) and (Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos)) lol!

According to GH spoilers and rumors, Nina has Valentin’s back. Luckily, he is able to buy some time when Nina deletes security footage from the Metro Court. General Hospital rumors tease that Nina uses Olivia’s computer to keep things under wraps for Valentin.

But what does this mean for him and Anna? Despite the fact that he lied through his teeth, Valentin does love Anna. But now he’s stuck between a rock and a hard place, having to choose to throw his own daughter under the bus or letting his lady love live in fear.

His death came as a shock to so many. Billy Miller was an American actor known for his roles in daytime as General Hospital’s Jake Doe/Jason Morgan/Drew Cain, Billy Abbott on The Young And The Restless, and a Marcus Spector on Suits.

Over the last two days, fans and personal friends alone have flooded social media platforms with heartfelt messages. One in particular that stuck out was written by Kelly Monaco’s mom. Previously, Carmina’s daughter Kelly Monaco and Billy Miller worked side by side as direct co-stars on General Hospital.

Quickly, Kelly and Billy grew closer, and rumors of a relationship ran rampant through the fan base. We all know Drew Cain and Sam McCall as “Dream.” Additionally, fans named Kelly and Billy, “Killy,” what they shipped as a real-life couple.

According to recent GH news, Carmina Monaco speaks out on Billy Miller’s passing. She posted her message on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. Expectedly, Twitter holds a huge Billy Miller and Kelly Monaco fan base. First, Billy’s Port Charles arrival gave Jason and Sam fans hope for JaSam 2.0. Then, Millers role went from Jake doe to Jason Morgan, to Drew Cain. All who were romantically involved with Sam. (Kelly Monaco)

Monaco and Miller remain close throughout his GH career. Sadly, many are mourning this devastating loss.

General Hospital Spoilers: Ava’s Got One Less Problem Without Him- Cyrus Takes Care Of Mason!

Mason Gatlin (Nathyael Grey) is a pest at best. He came slithering into Port Charles with his eyes on his cousin Austin Holt (Roger Howarth). At the time, Dr. Austin Holt has an air about him that gave off confident doctor vibes, while also showcasing an eerie aura. But for the most part, Austin seemed harmless.

Aside from the fact that he popped up out of absolutely nowhere, then eventually outed himself as Jimmy Lee Holt’s son, Austin’s been surprisingly helpful around Port Charles. First off, the man is a doctor. He delivered Maxie Jones’s (Kirsten Storms) in the Pautuck woods for crying out loud. And without him, the unthinkable could have happened. Thankfully, he was there to being little Bailey Lou into the world.

As if one mysterious individual from Pautuck wasn’t enough, in strolls Mason, Austin’s cousin. He smelled like trouble right of the bat, making those close to Austin very suspicious. As it turns out, first impressions truly tell a large part of someone’s overall being. That said, everyone who instinctively saw Mason’s creepy vibe is correct. His involvement with Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) says it all.

According to GH spoilers and rumors, Ava could be left with one less problem if Cyrus has Mason killed. After all, as far as Cyrus is concerned, someone has to pay for the botched FBI sting with Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).

This past weekend feels like a whirlwind. But Billy’s family, especially his mother, feel the pain of losing Billy quite directly.

According to the latest GH news updates, Billy Miller’s Mom issues a statement on her son’s death. In her message to fans, Patricia disclosed the following, “I would like to share the following thoughts,” Patricia wrote. “I want to personally thank the many fans & personal friends for the overwhelming amount of love, prayers & condolences sent to me and my family on the devastating death of my beautiful son BJ — Billy Miller.

He fought a long hard valiant battle with bipolar depression for years. He did everything he could to control the disease. He loved his family, his friends and his fans but in the end the disease won the fight and he surrendered his life. The other causes of death being told are not true. I wish they were but they just aren’t. We all loved him so much and are desperately trying to deal with our loss. I will have nothing further to say. Thanks for the love and support.”

As you know, General Hospital’s Maurice Benard also suffers from bipolar disorder. He’s a strong advocate for mental health awareness and Billy’s death is a reminder to so many that this disease claims lives. Sadly, Billy’s bipolar became too much. We are deeply saddened by the news and continue to pray for Billy’s family.

General Hospital Spoilers: Spencer Sees Esme Differently When He Finds Out The Truth About Ace

Spencer learns Ace is his

Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) is trying her hardest to be all that she can be after her brain injury. Amnesia gave the boarding school brat/con-artist a clean slate. But despite her overnight 180,° Esme has yet to win everyone over with her new outlook on life.

Esme’s biggest critic is her ex-boyfriend. Once young lovers, Esme and Spencer then became enemies. Naturally, when you find out that your “girlfriend” actually set you up to destroy your family, it makes those warm and fuzzy feelings hard to achieve. Esme’s laundry list of evil acts stack up against her as she’s still trying to prove herself.

According to recent General Hospital spoilers and rumors, Spencer learns Ace is his! Will he start to see Esme differently if she’s the mother of his child? So far, Spencer and Esme have been getting along just fine. Still, he doesn’t fully trust her alone with his little brother. In Spencer’s mind he envisions the girl who lied and committed heinous crimes just to destroy his family. How could he ever fully trust her after that?

GH rumors claim that Spencer doesn’t necessarily trust Esme any more as time goes on. However, it may come with the territory if he finds out that they are both Ace’s parents. Will this draw them closer?
