General Hospital Spoilers, Rumors, News, & Updates
Maurice Benard is a three-time Daytime winner for his role as Sonny Corinthos on ABC’s General Hospital. Benard joined the Soap Opera in August of 1993. Since then Port Charles has never been the same. Organized crime has become an ongoing problem on the local and even Federal level.
The Port Charles Police Department has their work cut out for them when it comes to PC’s most prominent mob boss. When he first arrive in 1993, Sonny was law enforcement’s number one priority. Today, the fact remains that Sonny gives the authorities a run for the money. He’s been arrested and detained, and even put on trial. But the PCPD and the Feds have yet to stick the landing.
General Hospital’s very own Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) has got us more than anxious for what’s to come. We thought things were intense in Port Charles these past few weeks, well Maurice let’s us know that we ain’t seen nothin’ yet!

The legendary actor, Maurice Benard and his phenomenal character, Sonny Corinthos is celebrating 20 years at General Hospital!
General Hospital Blog would like to thank Maurice for all his hard work and dedication to the American classic soap opera. The longest running Daytime Soap Opera, General Hospital, wouldn’t be what it is today without this amazing actor and his portrayal of Mob Boss/family man, Sonny Corinthos.
We love to be entertained by his multifaceted acting abilities and will take whatever GH will throw at us as long as Sonny is involved.
Congratulations Maurice! To many, many more!
Happy 20 years!

This Michael Fairman interview with Steve Burton is absolutely amazing. All the questions the fans have been asking since Steve left General Hospital have finally been answered. Many fans are disgruntled, confused, and even angry at what they THINK the facts are related to the entire situation. From Steve leaving GH to move to Tennessee, to then returning to soaps by joining The Young and The Restless, to the way Jason was written off; fans thought the worst of Steve and/or ABC. I sure hope ALL General Hospital and Steve Burton fans read this interview.
The rumors about Steve plotting to go to Y&R all along, or the executives at GH not offering Burton a compromise are untrue. Steve Burton also explains that Jason’s send off was due to lack of time. Time was running out and the writing team had to come up with something. It would be really great to stop reading such negativity from fans who think Steve was untruthful or that ABC just didn’t care enough to keep him. That is entirely not the case. In the interview, Michael asks Steve about the day he left. Steve explains how difficult it was emotionally and mentions that it was very hard on Maurice Benard (Sonny). This actually brought tears to my eyes. He also mentioned that it was very difficult leaving Kelly Monaco Sam), and that it is still weird not being able to see her everyday.
Michael Fairman also asked Steve if there were plans for Jason’s return to GH for the anniversary show. Steve Burton expressed that he would love to come back for the 50th, but since he is now on CBS he is not sure if that will be allowed. All this being out it the open, I hope fans and Steve Burton have closure now in regards to what really happened during and after the time of his exit. After all thins said and done, Steve did what was best for his family and his life.

Hi all! I know I don’t typically post about outside projects or what the actors are doing in their personal lives, (except Kelly Monaco and DWTS), but I felt that Maurice’s amazing work should be recognized. Not only is he a General Hospital vet who we can’t imagine the show without, his talents exceed more than what we see every day at 2PM. It’s apparent in his work that he is an extremely talented actor. His multifaceted artistic talents never cease to amaze. Now GH’s favorite mobster, Sonny Corinthos, played by Maurice Benard, is stepping into a new role in a film called “The Ghost and the Whale.” We are very excited to get to see him in another project along with his work on General Hospital. Check out the 30 second trailer of the film!

As true General Hospital fans, I think that we should all stay optimistic that General Hospital will have a long life ahead despite all the rumors and changes that are going on now. The time slot change, the Summer’s off rumor, GAA ratings possibly hurting the life of GH, and all the other threats and obstacles the General Hospital family has had to endure in the recent months. In an article I found at TVSourceMagazine.com, GH Executive Producer, Frank Valentini talks about the surprises headed for GH. I feel that he is very optimistic about the show, always sending out positive vibes with his interviews and displaying enthusiasm for what he does, and for GH as a whole.
