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.

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: 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.

General Hospital Spoilers: Austin Holt’s Real Backstory- There’s More To Austin Than Meets The Eye

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).

General Hospital News: Billy Miller’s Mom Issues A Statement On Her Son’s Death

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: Carly Confronts An Ungrateful Ava

Out of all of Sonny’s ex-wives and lovers, I’d have to say that Carly [Corinthos] Spencer (Laura Wright) and Ava Jerome (Maura West) have the most grit. In fact, both women have displayed strong personalities with survival skills that are unmatched by most. Unlike Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) and some other, weaker woman who have warmed Sonny’s bed- (or a crypt if you’re Ava), Carly and Ava know what it takes to survive in Sonny’s world. But only Carly has the loyalty.

GH recaps recall a pure Sonny and Carly moment when he asked for his ex-wife’s help. Although more cautious than her old self, Carly still agrees to step up for her ex-husband. Apparently, Ava Jerome (Maura West) forgets the sacrifices that it takes to help protect loved ones.

That said, GH spoilers tease that Ava overlooks Carly’s sacrifice. Despite the fact that Ava ultimately benefits from Carly’s loyalty to Sonny, she had the nerve to give Carly a hard time. Because by agreeing to help Sonny, Carly helps protect his and Ava’s daughter, Avery. There’s no doubt that Carly wouldn’t do what it takes to protect a child. Even if that means not only helping her ex, but also helping one of his ex-lovers.

Apparently, Carly has to give Ava a little reminder about what’s really going on. Carly confronts ungrateful Ava in the most recent General Hospital previews. Take a look!

General Hospital News and Spoilers: Maurice Benard Reveals Upcoming Guest, This Blast From The Past Sends Fans Back To The Golden Era

Maybe it’s just me but I find that nostalgia has a way of bringing communities together. Like, when you and a life long friend begin to reminisce about the days of old, and reflect on the good times. In doing so we tend to remember certain people and events that bring a sense of comfort to mind.

For me, the same goes for television and music. Almost all of today’s top 40 pop songs contain music samples from the past. So when you hear this fresh sound with a familiar twist, you kinda feel right at home. Well, that’s how it is for me when my faves from the past return.

I started watching General Hospital in the 1990s like many of you. And I can honestly say that this era seems to have left the most permanent mark on GH fans. That said, do you remember the popular character, Karen Wexler, played by Cari Sheen? She was right there in the middle of heated storylines involving strip clubs, drugs, and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard).

General Hospital 1992 The Island

It was the age of “The Island,” when Karen, Jason Quartermaine (Steve Burton), and Jagger Cates (Antonio Sabato Jr.) got stranded on an island. Moreover, it was the first jig storyline my pre-teen self really got into. And for that I will always remember and be grateful I beg and watching GH when I did.

Maurice Benard Reveals Upcoming Guest

At a recent fan event in Royal Oak Michigan, Maurice Benard discussed GH, mental illness, and everything in between. A hot topic was definitely his YouTube channel, State of Mind. He uses the platform to interview past and present co-stars, and anyone who wants to share their story.

General Hospital Spoilers: Drew’s Held Hostage In Pentonville, He’s Used As A Pawn

The city of Port Charles in it’s entirety was in total shock when Drew Cain received his sentence. No one expected such a harsh sentence, yet the judge really threw the book at him. Now, he sits in Pentonville amongst experiences criminals organized crime.

Ever since his sentencing, GH rumors ran wild with speculation. Fans have been trying to figure out the meaning behind such a hard punishment for such an insignificant crime. So, GH Blog shared that Drew’s sentence is most likely the result of an inside job. Someone wants him in Pentonville, and they’ve got him right where they want him.

General Hospital Spoilers: The Punishment Doesn’t Fit The Crime- Someone’s Out To Get Drew

Meanwhile, the sh!t hits the fan back in Port Charles as Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) strategies to save his own butt. It could have been anyone’s guess that Sonny would run to Carly Spencer [Corinthos] (Laura Wright) in his darkest hours. Actually, he knows well enough to run to his ex-wife before the hours become a stark night. Because he knows he can count on her strength and abilities to to what needs to be done. Not just for their family, but for him as well.

According to GH spoilers, Sonny and Carly are on their way back to one another. However, that’s neither here nor there at the moment. Instead, the focus is on Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison). But when Carly showed up at Pentonville with Sonny, they all got to thinking. Sonny is certain that his enemies reside within Pentonville walls. So having Drew there has to benefit someone. But who? Although Cyrus admits to helping take down star formidable mobster, it sounds like he might be a spectator in the Pikeman deal. This comes as a shock to many fans since Cyrus has been the number one pick for Pikeman. If not him, then who? And why is Drew held hostage in Pentonville?

General Hospital Spoilers: Like Ir Or Not, Carly is Sonny’s Leading Lady And Always Will Be

Divorced or not, the former Mr. and Mrs. Corinthos still know each other like the back of their hands. And the fact that no one understands either of them the way they understand each other tells the story.

The mob life is something Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) chose long ago. Throughout his journey, he’s come in contact with many people. He’s had his fair share of experience with outsmarting and fighting enemies, and protecting his family.

GH spoilers Sonny and Carly get back together

Moreover, Sonny always had a strong woman to lean on. Who am I kidding? Carly wasn’t just a good, strong woman to lean on. Actually, she was his rock. Carly knew better than to give him problems, although she ultimately gave him problems lol. But the way Carly went about things when it comes to Sonny’s business reassured him of her full support. As a mobster’s wife, you have to be prepared for anything. And that, Carly was.

Carly’s Still Sonny’s Choice

Meanwhile, Sonny and Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) play this little game of pretend. It’s the one where they both know that Nina isn’t the right fit for Sonny, yet neither can admit it. But deep down Sonny knows who his perfect match is. Furthermore, he knows he can turn to Carly for anything, at any time. And that’s exactly what he did. Sonny needs Carly’s help and she’s willing to give it. Where does that leave Nina? On the outside looking in.

General Hospital Spoilers: Chase Digs Deeper Into Sonny’s Case- Feds Come On Stronger Than Ever Before

Nina Reeves only thinks she can handle Sonny’s life because she’s never really been out through it. Unlike Carly, Nina’s recent scare was just that. A scare. In fact, it wasn’t even real because Sonny set up the Feds.

As golden as his plan was, the PCPD found holes in the story. Things just don’t add up in terms of the Feds and the bogus charges. According to GH spoilers, Detective Chase (Josh Swickard) is on the case. After his and Dante Falconeri’s (Dominic Zamprogna) conversation, they realized that there’s more to the story.

Chase and Dante Investigate Sonny

General Hospital spoilers indicate that Chase heads up this side investigation. Sonny’s son Dante agrees that something’s off, but will he agree to keep digging? Obviously, Dante supports his father and that was made crystal clear throughout these last couple of episodes. So how will he handle it if he and Chase stumble upon some incriminating evidence?

If Chase and Dante go poking around and find something, what will they do? Will Dante withhold evidence against his father? Cop or not, his loyalties lie in his father, not the PCPD. Do you think Sonny Corinthos is untouchable?

General Hospital Spoilers: Diane’s Advice Goes Beyond Professional- How Will Sonny Take It?

*Sonny Corinthos, Diane Miller, Nina Reeves*

In January of 2007, Diane Miller (Carolyn Henessy) was hired as Sonny Corinthos’s (Maurice Benard) lawyer. It wasn’t long before two became friends. Despite his criminal tendencies, Diane can see Sonny’s warm heart and family values.

Over the years, Sonny and his trusted attorney grew close. Not the kind of closeness he and his former attorney Alexis Davis had going on, but close in a family-friend sense. Apparently, close enough to where Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy) feels confident enough in her’s and Sonny’s relationship to blur the lines between professional and personal.

Sonny Corinthos and Diane Miller GH spoilers

According to recent GH spoilers and rumors, Diane advises against marrying Nina. She sees what most everyone else sees, and won’t stay silent. Its obvious to most that Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) isn’t cut out for Sonny’s life. In fact, there are times when even Nina herself knows darn well she doesn’t have what it takes. And that’s why she has come running to Carly (Corinthos) Spencer more than once.

How will Sonny take Diane’s advice about Nina? Will he see what she throws down in front of him? Or, will he continue to walk with the wool pulled over his eyes?
