General Hospital’s Maurice Benard
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.
How could she?! That’s the big question as of late. Gladys Corbin (Bonnie Burroughs) has more b@lls than the Kerry Hotel ball pit in Pudong Shanghai, which is the largest in the world. In fact, the Kerry Hotel holds the title in the Guinness Book Of World Records. Now that’s big!
Disturbed is an understatement for the effect Sasha Gilmore’s (Sofia Mattsson) storyline had on GH fans. According to GH news, fans have reportedly expressed that this storyline is too much and that they do not watch the scenes. Additionally, some threaten to step watching General Hosptial altogether if the torture doesn’t end ASAP for Sasha.
Personally, I find Sasha’s struggle with Gladys Corbin (Bonnie Burroughs) and Dr. Montague (Darin Toonder) riveting. While undoubtedly disturbing, Sofia is able to showcase her true acting talents as she depicts Sasha’s agony. General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that the audience finally reaps the reward of sticking it out as the writers inflict more and more pain onto one young woman.
Brando Haunts Gladys
Gladys is about to get what’s coming to her, and Sonny Corinthos is the one to deliver! She’s so afraid of cousin Sonny that Gladys threw Sasha under the bus again to save herself from her cousin the mobster. Although it’s hard to imagine, but GH rumors tease that Sonny isn’t all she has to endure. What on Earth (or not) could possibly be worse than Sonny’s wrath? How about being haunted by your dead son. Ya know, the one who’s widow Gladys betrayed.
In Port Charles, the Corinthos family faces some hard times in the here and now. So much has changed in the last few years since Sonny (Maurice Benard) was presumed dead. That’s when Carly Corinthos’s (Laura Wright) life took a drastic turn.
In 1996, in came Caroline Benson (Sarah Joy Brown). She was an alluring pool shark with an agenda to seduce her mother’s husband. Despite her ill intentions, Carly and Bobbie Spencer (the late Jackie Zeman) eventually became very close. Fast forward to 2005, and Laura Wright joins General Hospital as the 4th actress to take on the role of Caroline Benson, aka Carly Corinthos. Laura’s portrayal hit home with GH fans, making the role one of the most popular in daytime tv. Carly and (ex-husband) Sonny Corinthos became household names as General Hospital’s main focus (while also focused on the hospital).
The Latest Laura Wright GH Exit
Recently, Carly’s had a rough go ever since Sonny was presumed dead and returned in love with Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros). There’s no doubt that Carly has seen better days. Especially losing the Metro Court to the same woman who took her man. But GH spoilers tease, mark Carly’s words, she WILL get EVERYTHING back that Nina stole from her. Carly may have gotten knocked down, and even kicked while she was already on the ground, but she’s formidable and always comes out on top.
Recently, GH rumors claimed that Laura Wright was on her way out and ready to exit General Hospital. Every so often it seems that this very same rumors starts, usually on Twitter. Thankfully, Wright is active on the social media platform, and engages with fans on a regular basis. Due to the recent GH casting rumors Laura took to Twitter to set the record straight. As stated above, Carly vowed to take everything from Nina that she had stolen. So why in the world would Carly leave Port Charles when it’s her time to shine?
General Hospital news and spoilers reveal that Laura Wright confirms that she isn’t going anywhere.
Charlotte fabricates Valentin’s cheating allegations
There’s no use in denying it, it’s the sign of the times. No matter which break up rumor is closest to the truth, Sonny and Nina inevitably meet the end of the road. Nina’s lies alone are enough to send a Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) packing.
Recently, Charlotte Cassadine (Scarlett Fernandez) began showing signs of her dark Cassadine bloodline. This isn’t the first time the young teen behaviorWhen the trust is gone, it’s gone. General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Anna and Sonny become suspicious of their partners. The mob boss and the WSB agent’s public friendship dates way back despite practicing on opposites sides of the law.
Whether they play by the rules or let things slide, organized crime made exceptions for Anna Devane, as Anna used her authority to let certain details fall through the cracks for her friend Sonny. Coincidentally, Anna’s boyfriend Valentin happens to be close friends with Sonny’s fiancé Nina, who plan to marry rather soon. Prior she snagged up Port Charles’s favorite coffee importer, GH recaps recall a time when Nina was romantically involved with Valentin Cassadine. Sadly, their romance ended after Valentin and Sasha’s big betrayal. Thankfully, they’ve come along way since then, and remain close friends.
Charlotte Fabricates Cheating Evidence
According to GH spoilers Charlotte uses these adult friendships to fabricate cheating evidence. Now this could go one of two ways. One, Charlotte might make it look as though Anna is cheating on Valentin with Sonny. News of that caliber is sure to cause earthquake sized tremors within Valentin’s relationship as well as Sonny and Nina’s. Two, little Helena in training might frame her own father. If Anna believes that Valentin and Nina have something going on, she won’t stick around for that.
Of all the things that Nina has done and the lies she’s told, who would have thought that she’d go down like this? Will a child’s fabricated cheating scandal be the end of Sonny and Nina? So long as Valentin and Anna break up, Charlotte isn’t concerned with how the others are discarded. All she cares about is getting Papa to herself. To clarify, Charlotte is determined to get rid of Anna by any means necessary.
Deception runs deep throughout the families around Port Charles. Each feel victimizing and then justified in their own way. However; only a few can take things to another level. I always thought that calculated revenge plots and breakup pranks were for songs and movie scripts. But apparently Nina Reeves took at few pages from those books.
In Port Charles, there’s and increased amount of tension around town. Paths cross, and bridges burn while whispers are heard at every turn. Actually, it would be easier if the lies and deceit stayed outside the family walls. Fighting among enemies isn’t ideal but it’s better than fighting one of your own. Such as when your nephew outsmarts you in a business deal. Because of him, you own one less share of the family business! Uh oh!
Undoubtedly, secrets, betrayals, and deception consume Port Charles. Each and every family is involved in some type of scandal or another. Mostly, these scandals are business related but with personal roots. Over at the Quartermaine’s, Tracy’s cut-throat business tactics cause damage beyond recognition. But what changes drastically isn’t those business rivals that she hopes to shoot down. Instead, Tracy used and manipulated her own granddaughter. Now her relationship with Brook Lynn is forever changed. And all of this is over Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring).
Meanwhile, as Granny Tracy (Jane Elliot) and BLQ’s relationship suffers, Willow and Nina slowly begin to grow closer. Family fills the Quartermaine mansion despite the drama and chaos that goes on. And lately Willow’s become a bit more comfortable with having her mother around. But how long will this walk in the park last before Nina’s secrets blow her chances with her daughter?
Currently, multiple families suffer from the impact the Corinthos mob drama has on anyone who gets in the way. Sadly, Drew Cain Cameron Mathison) actively feels the weight of his connection to Carly and the mob. Moreover, his loved ones believe that his entire situation was all for political gain. Although he doesn’t place blame on her or Sonny whatsoever. Drew wants to know who turned them in.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Nina grows increasingly anxious about her SEC secret. Understandably so since what she has done is a doozy! While most GH fans worry about Sonny’s reaction when he learns that his fiancés tipped off the SEC, we can’t forget about Willow.
According to GH spoilers, Nina faces Sonny and Willow upon the SEC bombshell reveal. Drew and Willow’s relationship has always been strong. Then, Drew sprung into action to help in any way. That’s when he went to Greenland to rescue Dr. Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) from Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy). He risked his life to save Willow’s and the others, and Willow couldn’t be more grateful. Consequently, it’s just like Nina to self destruct, crash, burn, and then… blame CARLY for all of her life’s failures. Did Nina already lose Willow before they even get off the runaway?
Of all the things that Nina has done, I can’t even recall whether she’s gone down the blackmail road yet or not. That woman has manipulated and lied using many different tactics, so it’s unclear what she has and hasn’t done to get her way.
Over the last few years, the social climate surrounding some prominent Port Charles residents has changed. For one, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Carly’s divorce became the catalyst for the seemingly permanent changes that followed the ordeal. Whether or not you like the fact that Sonny and Carly are the main focus, indeed they are. So it only makes sense that their breakup would create a ripple effect of changes throughout their family and the community.
Blackmail Isn’t Beneath Her
But GH recaps recall that before their divorce, Sonny was presumed dead. Clearly, his life choices lead to a life of danger and risk, but Carly and his family were always by his side. That is until Nina found Sonny vulnerable, and without recollection of his wife and family.
In Nixon Falls, a broken man washed up, was found and taken to shelter. And we all know the rest! Nina’s selfish decision to keep Sonny all to herself adversely effected so many. Moreover, she did it all to get revenge on Sonny’s wife, who happens to be her grandson’s other grandmother. On top of all that, Nina deceived her own grandson’s grandfather when she lied to everyone.
How low can she go? Well, it looks like Nina’s secrets just keep piling on. Currently, she hides her involvement in Drew’s stay in Pentonville. That one selfish decision has harmed so many in the process, not just her intended target, Carly. Despite what Drew is going through, Nina has yet to come clean to Sonny or anyone else. Additionally, Sonny had to implement a setup for the FBI after Nina’s SEC tip peaked curiosity. The Corinthos Organization has been scrutinized for decades and Nina added fuel to the fire.
Nina Discovers Michael’s Plan Against Sonny
According to General Hospital spoilers and rumors, Nina stops even lower. Back before Nina ever gamed an amnesiac, there was no “Mike,” and Sonny had a close relationship with his children. Then, Nina drove a wedge between Sonny and Michael (Chad Duell). Their relationship took a dive over Sonny’s feelings for Nina. Then, when arguments spiraled out of control, Michael turned on his father.
GH spoilers tease that Nina comes between Sonny and Michael again, just they slowly begin build back their relationship. In the wonderful world of Soap Opera Land, there’s no such thing as a well-kept secret. In fact, I’m convinced that statement doesn’t even hold up on the real world as secret always fine a way to come out. So if you think that there’s no evidence from Michael’s plans, you’re most likely mistaken.
Since Dex said he destroyed only incriminating evidence against Sonny, then we should assume all is good, right? Think again! GH rumors hint that there is another copy out there. It’s possible that Dex kept one for his own personal reasons, or someone could have gotten their hands on the original. The point is, anything is possible. Or Nina could find out about Michael’s plan on a complete different way. Still, GH spoilers tease that Nina blackmails Michael over Sonny and her findings.
Did Sasha’s happily ever after happen too easily? Honestly, I didn’t think so. In fact, I can speak for most GH fans when I say that Sasha has been through more than most. And frankly, she’s suffered enough.
What’s next for Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson)? According to GH recaps, Sasha and Sam McCall’s (Kelly Monaco) plan to trap Greedy Gladys was a success. And the prank phone call worked like a charm. That’s when they got their queue to proceed with the plan. Sam just had her moment in the spotlight, but it’s Sasha’s time to shine.
Currently, she finds herself in a heartbreakingly awkward encounter. General Hospital spoilers and previews indicate that Sasha and Gladys come face to face.
Sofia Mattsson has been put to the test. Shes killing it in the Sasha role. So much so that fans display genuine concern for But maybe in the soap world Sasha isn’t ready for happiness. On the contrary, GH spoilers reveal that Sasha’s problems are behind her.
General Hospital spoilers suggest that in order for Sasha to get over her problem (Gladys), she must face it head on. Sasha wants Gladys to pay and that exactly her intentions when she shows up at the door. Will a corners desperate Gladys turn violent to save herself from being arrested?
General Hospital reached 1 million Facebook followers
Do you recall what was going on in Port Charles in 2013? Sure, ten years is a long time but we aren’t amateurs. Of course we can remember the happenings of Port Charles from ten years back! Remembering one measly decade is nothing compared to the OG fans. Those General Hospital stans are the true ride or die types who have watched since day one (April 1st, 1963). That’s six decades!
General Hospital Reached 1 Million Followers, Cast ThanksFans
While many of us started watching this iconic Soap Opera before we even had our first kiss, we encourage new, fresh fans every day! It’s nice to be able to grow the fan base, especially geared toward the younger generation. As I recall, I began watching General Hospital in 1992 with my mom and my sister. And throughout my pre-teens and high school years my friends also watched. Sadly, today most of my friends have stopped watching. And let’s be honest, we aren’t friends anymore either lol. Haha but that’s another thing.
Remember when Julian called himself Derek Wells?!
It’s hard to below that 2013 was ten years ago. General Hospital news and spoilers confirm that 10 years ago today, General Hospital reached 1 minion Facebook followers. It’s an impressive milestone for daytime drama. And 10 years later and GH is going strong.
There should be a sign around both Carly and Sonny’s necks as disclaimers. Anyone has the right to know what they’re getting themselves into. And with Carly and Sonny anything can happen. The same type of drama and chaos follows although the former Mr. And Mrs. Corinthos are no longer together as a couple. Instead, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) and Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) get to fill those places in their lives.
Well, Carly has been through this with Sonny about a million times. But Drew and Nina are on the outside looking in. Except, the outside is pretty darn close to the heart of the mob violence for Drew. Unfortunately, he’s been roped right in, and entangled in this mess even more than Carly and Sonny themselves.
Carly’s Unintentional Eye For An Eye
General Hospital spoilers tease that Drew Cain fights for his life after being attacked in Pentonville. Carly can’t help to feel the weight of guilt for what happened to Drew. In fact, she blames herself for the fact that he’s locked up in Pentonville in the first place. Carly can’t stand there helpless and allow Drew to go through any more of this. Naturally, she doesn’t want to see him this way. Now she is desperate to help Drew even if that means she goes back on her word.
GH rumors hint that Carly sells out Sonny to protect Drew. Just as Sonny chose Nina over Carly upon his Nixon Falls return, Carly chooses Drew in an unintentional, yet quite fitting eye for an eye situation. Remember, the key word here is unintentional. Still, it’s about time Sonny knows how it feels.
Many refer to the 1990s as General Hospital’s Golden Age. For me, the 90s is when it all began. I was about 10 years old when Ned, aka Eddie Maine sang “Little Sister” to Julia Barrett’s sister, Brenda (Vanessa Marcil).
60 years of General Hospital makes for plenty of an incredible content to debate which era is superior and why. But I honestly don’t think that’s necessary because not everyone began watching during the same time period. No matter your favorite time in Port Charles, the important thing is that we all continue to have new favorite moments for years to come.
Ok, I guess now I’ll list the actors and character names for the above photo. This General Hospital 90s retro gem includes, Wally Kurth (Ned Ashton), Cheryl Richardson (Jenny Eckart), Sean Kanan (AJ Quartermaine), and Crystal Carson (Julia Barrett)! They were exciting times!
Let’s be real here. Not many of us really like to hear the word no as an answer. Some people can’t handle any type of rejection, even if it’s not personal. Oftentimes hearing the word no is taken to heart whether it was meant to be personal or not.
Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned
Curtis Ashford had just woken up from a nightmare, except the nightmare didn’t end when he opened his eyes. In fact, that’s when it truly began. Unfortunately, Curtis was shot at the Metro Court. What makes it even worse is that authorities believe the bullet was meant for someone else. Evidently, Curtis wasn’t the intended target. That’s when the PCPD figured that the bullet was meant for Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) or Anna Devane (Finola Hughes).
After the incident, Selina didn’t waste any time. Curtis didn’t have a moment to collect his thoughts after learning that he’s paralyzed before Selina Wu threw salt in the wound. Immediately, she approached Curtis about The Savoy, and now his professional life is as messed up as most other aspects in his life. Even his marriage to Portia was hanging by a thread.
According to General Hospital spoilers, Selina Wu won’t take no for an answer. Selina doesn’t let Marshall stop her no matter what he says. General Hospital recaps recall that Marshall Ashford (Robert Gossett) stepped in for Curtis (Donnell Turner) while he takes time to adjust to his new life. For the time being, Marshall is in charge of The Savoy. But just because Marshall spoke on behalf of The Savoy, that doesn’t mean Selina likes it, or that she will even oblige. Selina isn’t about to end her poker game.
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Selina Wu goes to war with a new enemy. Marshall isn’t the only one who told Selina she couldn’t do what she wants to do. She went to Sonny, thinking he’d have her back. But when he didn’t, her vibe suddenly changed. Now her mere presence could freeze Arendelle if Elsa ever needed help.
It looks like Selina has reason to use her power around Port Charles. Who will pay the price?
