Before there was ever a Caroline Benson, aka Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright), Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) had a love that burned so hot it was inevitable that it would end in flames. Sonny and Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil) had one of the most memorably passionate relationships in Daytime TV, Soap Opera history. Their love story was up and down, with highs and lows, and was centered around a time when the mob was even more prominent in Sonny’s life than it is now. Sonny and Brenda have been to Hell and back with one another.
One major storyline which sucks fans in and captivated the audience was when Brenda wore a wire. Sonny had never felt so betrayed, and their scenes were so intense, the talent just shined through.
Recently, Maurice Benard had an interview with Soaps In Depth. In the interview, Benard mentioned he would welcome co-star, Vanessa Marcil, back to General Hospital any time. Benard stated, “If I [had my say], she would have been back about five years ago. She brings ratings, and if you put two and two together, that’s four. So, if you bring her back, it’s a no-brainer.”
Considering Sonny’s current life with his wife, Carly, and their family, he reflected on another key component- Jasper “Jax” Jacks. He’s just another piece of history that fits. Maurice added, “You [brought] back Jax, then you got Brenda, and you got a whole cool thing going on.”
Months ago, General Hospital Blog reporter GH spoilers involving Dev Cerci (Ashton Arbab) and the possibility of him having ties to a former enemy of Sonny’s, The Balkan. General Hospital rumors claim Dev will fit into a much larger story, as it’s possible he is the son of Brenda Barrett, and grandchild of The Balkan. Maurice Benard’s opinion seems to weigh heavily on decision making regarding the show. Benard is smart, talented, has great insight, and knows the ins and outs of the production. There seems to be great potential for having Vanessa Marcil return to GH as Brenda Barrett.
On Friday, June 5, California Governor, Gavin Newsom, and the California Public Health Department made an announcement regarding Music, TV and film production; that it may resume in California no sooner than Friday, June 12th. Although General Hospital fans had high hopes, it is unfortunate for cast, crew, and fans alike, that the restart will not include Los Angeles County filming, which includes the Daytime Soap Operas on all networks, which means our beloved, General Hospital, will not resume production on June 12th as hoped. Due to recent health concerns, Los Angeles County is holding off on restarting film production. “There has been a slight increase over the last three days in the number of people hospitalized,” said Los Angeles County Public Health Director, Barbara Ferrer. Even with guidelines for safely returning to wrk being met, there is no information on the time frame it will take to get back into the swing of things in LA County. We will keep you posted on any new developments.
General Hospital’s Maurice Benard, who plays the legendary role of Port Charles mob boss, Sonny Corinthos, is a man of many facets. Benard is a phenomenal actor, a husband, father, mentor, mental health advocate, and now to add to the list, certified to conduct marriage ceremonies. General Hospital news reveals Maurice Benard in an al new role, as he leads the ceremony in his daughter, Cailey’s, and now son-in-law, Carlos’, nuptials. Benard’s Instagram contains video footage of Maurice’s speech to his daughter and her fiancé as he leads into the marriage ceremony. Take a look at the personal and precious event for the Benard family.
Dr. Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) has been wrongfully accused and charged with Peter August’s (Wes Ramsey) crimes involving the death of Drew Cain (Billy Miller). However, we all know that Peter framed Liesl, just as he framed Sam Morgan (Kelly Monaco) for the death of cult leader, Shiloh Archer (Coby Ryan McLaughlin).
Liesl is desperate to prove her own innocence. Everyone she loves, including her own daughter, Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) has turned their back on her, believing that she committed said crimes. Jason and Sam Morgan (Steve Burton and Kelly Monaco) are onto Peter, but even with Spinelli’s (Bradford Anderson) help, they’ve found little to completely nail him. Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers), although isn’t Liesl’s biggest fan, he cares for Peter much less and will help to prove he is deceiving Anna Devane (Finola Hughes), his girlfriend, Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms), and everyone else close to him.
General Hospital news revealed Kathleen Gati’s exit is only temporary. General Hospital spoilers and rumors have indicated that upon her return, she will bring back with her something so huge, it would prove she didn’t tamper with Drew’s plane in an attempt not murder. General Hospital rumors claim that Billy Miller was in discussion with GH executives regarding a return. However, the unexpected global crisis, Covid-19 pandemic, caused everything to hit the brakes- including acting contracts, film, and production.
Now that we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel as lockdown comes to an end, it is possible the return of Billy Miller as Drew Cain could be in the works. Will Dr. Obrecht find Drew Cain alive and bring him back to Port Charles? Peter is running on borrowed time!
General Hospital news regarding the Covid-19 pandemic and it’s effects on Hollywood and the film industry has taken a positive turn. The state of California has been under strict stay-at-home orders since March, originally stating General Hospital cast and crew would not be back to work until about August. California’s Guidelines for the film industry was previously reported by General Hospital Blog and you can find that information HERE. Genera Hospital news has confirmed that these recommended guidelines for the film industry to safely return to work, are not to be considered before June 12th. That is, if everything is in place and approved at the production studios in that short amount of time, California Governor, Gavin Newsom can give the green light to return to work and return to film.
ABC Network has come up with a plan to get their casts and crews back to work ASAP. However, that isn’t going to come easily. Many precautions and guidelines are being out into place so that individuals may return to they roles as soon as possible.
New Developments
General Hospital news and spoilers had previously revealed that production would not commence until at least August. However, at that time, that’s what was believed to be true due to the California Government’s strict social distancing and stay at home order. General Hospital cast members such as James Patrick Stuart (Valentine Cassadine) and Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis), tweeted that they would not be back to work until at least August. General Hospital news can now report that it’s highly possible filming will return sooner than anticipated.
A Plan Of Action
ABC Network is working with the union for actors, along with other filming studios to come up with a safe and cautious way to get people back to work. If California Governor, Gavin Newson, gives the OKAY to resume, the plan of action must start with hiring a Covid-19 Compliance Officer. The plan includes needing a doctor’s note if you are 65 years of age or older, hand washing stations, mask wearing requirements, and cast and crew will be required to carry around hand sanitizer, along with more guidelines.
When Will GH Resume Filming?
General Hospital Executives, along with TPTB over at ABC Network have ironed out what seems to be a solid plan of action to safely return to work. If California Governor, Gavin Newsom, gives the green light, GH could start back up production this month. This is fantastic and hopeful news for the network, cast and crew, and fans alike. It will be great to see new episodes of General Hospital sooner than originally anticipated.
If you’re as excited as we are, share the news with all your GH fan friends!
Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) discuss Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober)
Some fans love it, others hate it! But we all know that the miss bowl sitting atop Sonny’s counter has made quite an impression on GH fans.
Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) have recently had a kitchen remodel. It was the talk of the soap fan circuit when General Hospital revealed Sonny and carlys new kitchen… and the main focus was the bowl of moss decor! Even Executive Producer, Frank Valentini weighed in at a fan event. Regarding the moss, Valentini explained, “So when it first showed up, I was like, ‘What is this?! It looks like moss or… like a bad salad.’” he recalled. ” But my production designer, who had done such a beautiful job transforming and creating the kitchen said, ‘No, it’s very chic. It’s what people do.’ And I just let her do it. So it’s kind of taken on a life of its own.
So now the burning question must be asked. And if you don’t know this is 100% a joke, well then we feel sorry for you. Should someone water this thing while the cast and crew is away on hiatus? Will it last the long hot Summer if California doesn’t open back up until August?
General Hospital Recaps: Remember When The Island Jagger Cates
Over the years, General Hospital has made history time and time again with its iconic storylines. Sadly, those creative and legendary stories won’t told for a while as we navigate through Covid-19. Although this won’t be forever, it is still difficult for the cast, crew, and fans alike to wrap our heads around the reality of it all. While we sit and wait for our world as we know it to go back to normal, we can reflect on the fond memories from our favorite Daytime Drama.
As fashion trends and TV show reboots from the 1990s have begun to resurface, one very memorable General Hospital storyline from the 1990s comes to mind. In the early 1990s I got sucked in and swept away. I started watching GH with my mom and sister and the story that was front and center revolved around Jason Quartermaine. Now, he goes by Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). Jason, Jagger Cates (Antonio Sabato Jr.), and Karen Wexler (Cari Shayne) were stranded on an island and I was hooked!
Romance, drama, and adventure followed these three wherever they went, even on a deserted island! After being shipwrecked, they were stranded on a deserted island, making things very awkward for everyone involved since Jagger and Karen were a couple, Jason was annoyed, and the two men weren’t too keen on each other. This love triangle was secondary to that of Jagger, Karen, and Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil), but developed as Jason Quartermaine was basically a third wheel when he, Jagger, and Karen were stuck on a deserted island.
General Hospital Recaps: Remember When The Island Jagger
Tension was always thick between Jason and Jagger. Of course, it was all over a girl. Karen Wexler was the girl they both had their eye on. So, in one climatic scene, Jagger walked up as Jason embraced Karen from behind. Naturally, Jagger was angry and jealous, but it wasn’t what it looked liked. Instead, Jason was comforting Karen after the attempted rape. Like always, Jason Morgan has been a savior to women. He is a natural protector, quick thinker, and a fighter for what’s right. Jason Quartermaine never lost that part of himself, even after the car accident with his brother AJ (Sean Kanan), leading him to change his name from Quartermaine to another family name, Morgan.
At some point, Jason and Jagger had to put their pride and differences aside. This was necessary in order to work together to survive. Jagger was the muscle, while Jason was both the brains of the operation. Additionally, it’s apparent that both Jason and Jagger are strong and resourceful. Karen was resourceful in her own right, but definitely played the role of damsel in distress very well.
Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) was taken aback when he saw his ex lover, Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) making a home for herself and her daughter, Trina Robinson (Sydney Makayla). Curtis and Portia were romantically involved in the past but that affair was short lived once Curtis found out Portia was a married woman.
Portia was married to Detective Marcus Taggert (Réal Andrews), and the two have raised their daughter, Trina. Recently their family suffered a tragedy after Taggert was killed on Cyrus Renault’s (Jeff Kober) orders. Trina now holds resentment toward Curtis and Jordan Ashford (Briana Nicole Henry) for their part in the entire situation which lead to the death of her father.
Curtis has been up front with Portia in the past, asking her directly if he could be Trina’s father. The timeline of their relationship in correlation with Trina’s age fits into place. But when confronted, Portia assured Curtis that Trina was Taggert’s daughter.
General Hospital spoilers hint that Curtis will discover a clue that will pique his curiosity on the topic, even after he was told by Portia that he was not Trina’s dad. Curtis has a knack for digging up dirt and discovering the truth about people and the parts of their lives they hope to keep hidden. This won’t be any different when it comes to Portia. Curtis is determined to uncover the truth, and this time it’s personal.
This week marks the first full week that ABC Network will be airing all repeat episodes of General Hospital due to the halt in production and filming of new material. The Covid-19 pandemic has left many areas of our daily lives in disarray, including something as simple as our favorite TV shows.
Previously, General Hospital spoilers and news informed fans that the cast and crew of General Hospital remain on hiatus as they will not return to Prospect Studios for filming until at least after July. In the meantime, General Hospital episodes will be repeats, and the first three weeks will be devoted to classic Nurses Ball episodes. Just as the residents of Port Charles were getting ready for the Nurses Ball 2020, they cast and crew were unable to finish filming and have put the event on hold. It remains uncertain as to where the story will pick back up, if they Nurses Ball will be pushed back to the Fall, or if it will be skipped altogether this year.
General Hospital’s Parry Shen (Brad Cooper) has posted this week’s lineup of classic Nurses Ball episodes that will be aired in place of new episodes.
Thanks Parry!
Some oldies but goodies comin’ at ya this week! 🎤 🎶 #GH
Mon, May 25 – #Bratt watch the Nurses ball Wed, May 27 – “Brokenhearted” performance Thur, May 28 – “Marry You” performance /#Brucas proposal pic.twitter.com/puzpj2v3RP
