First things first. Would you continue to watch General Hospital if 1) Maurice Benard left and the role of Sonny Corinthos was written off, or 2) Maurice left and Sonny was recast? Do either of those options sound viable for you to tune in to the 61 year old daytime drama?
General Hospital news and spoilers report that Benard has taken to Instagram to make an impactful announce. In a recent post, General Hospital’s lead actor cleared the air on his recent departure from the soap opera.
According to recent GH news reports, Maurice Benard exits General Hospital. But don’t worry, it is only temporary. Benard disclosed that he’s recently struggled with a mental health crisis. It began after his wife Paula and son Joshua left for a trip to Europe.
Sadly, Benard has recently struggled with a mental health crisis and took to social media to explain some important news. In the video below, Maurice shares details of his GH exit with his fans. First, let’s avoid any panic by stating that his departure is only temporary (thank God). Secondly, the two week hiatus almost called for a recast. The daytime Emmy winner explains how Sonny Corinthos could have been recast if his GH hiatus extended any longer than the two weeks that he was away form the canvas. Benard discloses in detail how he and Executive Producer Frank Valentini worked through this challenge.
Our thoughts and prayers are always with Maurice and his family as his navigates through mental illness. GH would never be the same without our main man! Thankfully, his exit is only temporary. ❤️
Sonny leaves town for Kristina?! Kristina Corinthos (Kate Mansi) was once daddy’s little girl. Until very recently she and Sonny were thick as thieves. He continues to support his daughter in every aspect of life, but her feelings have changed. Kristina was Sonny’s number one fan. Sadly, daddy’s girl’s world came crashing down when she witnessed her mobster father as he beat the crap out of Dex Heller (Evan Hofer).
General Hospital recaps recall that in addition to the @$$ handing Dex received, Sonny threatened to shoot him and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) in the head. Stunned, Kristina stood inert as Jason put himself at risk to diffuse the situation. The scene left lasting affliction and Kristina questions if she knows her dad at all.
Sonny Leaves Town For Kristina?!!
According to General Hospital spoilers and previews, Sonny will do anything to hold onto Kristina. He fears that he’s lost her after his violent outburst. Evidently, the latest GH previews indicate that Sonny makes Kristina an offer. Since he can’t take back what he’s done, Sonny goes to extremes to make things right. GH spoilers tease that Sonny offers to leave Port Charles, never to return again.
Will Kristina take Sonny up on his offer to get out of town? Will that bring peace to the mobster’s pregnant daughter?
Check out this week’s shocking promo video! Sonny’s life hangs in the balance, and his son Morgan is out for revenge. Morgan believes Julian is responsible for Sonny being shot and he tells his Dad that he will kill Julian.
February Sweeps has brought some extreme stories to General Hospital. The residents of Port Charles have been faced with a multitude of danger, all by the hands of Helena Cassadine. Helena has always been a feared villain in Port Charles, having a tight grip on the weakness of those she preys on. The Cassadine/Spencer family feud has been going on for decades, and this time Helena’s target is as direct as it gets. She has taken control of the head of the Spencer family, Luke.
Helena has put Luke in the position of hurting those he loves in Port Charles, along with controlling Jason Morgan with mind conditioning to do the same. As a result, their lives are at stake. After piecing some theories together, Julian Jerome and Sonny Corinthos joined forces and decided to break out of Pentonville for the sake of saving their sons. Fluke gave Sonny a warning that Michael and Lucas would be targeted in his evil scheme. Well Sonny does nothing better than protecting the ones he loves and at that moment he knew he had to act fast.
Now that Sonny took the bomb and all the people who were in attendance at The Haunted Star are safe, Sonny’s status of survival is uncertain. Saving everyone just may have made his son Michael realize that there is still good in Sonny, and that he truly does love him. Will it be too late for Sonny and Michael to reconcile?
In a recent report regarding the status of Maurice Benard’s contract with General Hospital, General Hospital spoilers revealed that Maurice stated he isn’t going anywhere and he will be staying at GH for another year. He signed another contract with the show, guaranteeing that Sonny stay with us.
Although today’s episode of GH with Sonny taking the bomb, and not knowing if he got away in time is undeniably mystifying and dramatic, it’s most likely just to keep the audience on their toes. There is no news of Maurice leaving his role as Sonny, therefore it’s highly unlikely that Sonny will die in this February Sweeps story.
What do you all think? Is Sonny going to die after saving everyone at The Haunted Star?
After about 21 years of loop holes, bad ass lawyers, and acquittals, Sonny has hit the end of the road. Mark it down in General Hospital history, that Michael Sonny Corinthos is finally going to Pentonville for his crimes. After admitting to shooting AJ Quartermaine to Carly, the confession was captured by a sneaky Franco who placed a camera in a necklace he gave to Carly as a gift. The video was exposed at what was supposed to be Franco and Carly’s wedding, but since he was less than forgiving after finding out that Carly was sleeping with Sonny behind his back, he decided that Carly, and everyone else should pay. He didn’t hesitate at the chance to expose Sonny’s crimes to his adoptive son, Michael, who has been searching for who murdered his biological father, AJ Quartermaine. All the while Carly knew it was Sonny.
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Sonny isn’t the only one who is going to pay for the murder of AJ Quartermaine. Perhaps everyone who knew what Sonny had done will be dragged down with him. Carly, Kiki, Morgan, Shawn, and possibly Ava could all end up right where Sonny will be…in a prison cell.
Who do you think is going down right alongside Sonny? General Hospital rumors indicate that Sonny will run into Johnny Zacchara while in Pentonville. The story just keeps getting better and better! Share if you are excited to see how this unfolds.
What is the fate of mob boss Sonny Corinthos? Michael is devastated after learning that his adoptive father, Sonny Corinthos is the one who took the life of his biological father, AJ Quartermaine. After a false confession by Carlos Rivera, and months of trying to solve AJ’s murder, the people or Port Charles now know that the one who shot AJ was indeed Sonny Corinthos.
Michael is out to make the person who killed his father pay! He will stop at nothing to see that justice is served. Now that he knows one of his father’s has killed the other, what will be MIchael’s next move?
Will Michael go through with it and act out of rage? Is shooting Sonny Michael’s only solution? General Hospital rumors have specualted two ways that this could go down… 1) Michael shoots Sonny and puts him in the hospital, 2) Sonny goes to prison, and 3) It will be revealed that Sonny was not the one who actually killed AJ. It’s true that we all saw him pull the trigger, but word out on the street is that Sonny’s bullet isn’t what did AJ in.
What do you think will happen next with Michael and Sonny? Let us know by commenting below.
Maurice Benard joined the cast of General Hospital in August of 1993 as Michael Sonny Corinthos. He has been a fan favorite and front and center for over tow- almost three decades. Some would say that General Hospital would not be what it is today without the character of Sonny Corinthos and the amazingly talented actor, Maurice Benard, who portrays him. There is some recent General Hospital news that has fans worried about the future of their favorite character, Sonny Corinthos. For a few months now General Hospital rumors have been indicating that Maurice Benard will be taking 6 months off of General Hospital as Port Charles’ most popular mob boss, Sonny Corinthos.
In the newest edition of ABC Soaps in Depth Magazine, the September 29th issue, it has been revealed that Maurice Benard’s contract is due to be up very soon and the actor has not yet re-signed. Benard is considering leaving GH to work on other projects. The actor told Soaps in Depth, “I take the contract day to day. I’m 100% happy at GH, I love Ron and Frank, but I want to do other things.”
It would be a sad time for General Hospital is Maurice Benard left the show. He has been an iconic character for so long that it is uncertain how the rest of the show that has been built around the mob would hold up in this situation.
Recent General Hospital rumors speculate that Sonny will go to jail for the murder of AJ Quartermaine, and that we will not see Sonny for about six months.
