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.

Michael Betrays Sonny To Protect Kristina! …Since the early 1990s the PCPD has been working in circles to remove organized crime from Port Charles. To finally nail Kingpin Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) would be the department’s biggest accomplishment. Despite the fact that worse criminals have been caught, captured, and convicted, the PCPD’s eyes are set on Sonny.

General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Sonny is backed into a corner. Apparently, things take an unexpected turn when not only Alexis, but Kristina Corinthos (Kate Mansi) is also arrested. Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) currently sits in Pentonville with Heather Webber (Alley Mills) as her bunkie.

According to General Hospital rumors, it’s only a matter of time before the public catches wind of Kristina’s intentions for Agent Cates (Adam Harrington). GH recaps recall that Alexis’s freedom is at stake as she faces trial for John Cate’s murder. Meanwhile, Sonny has the freedom to flirt with whomever he pleases. At some point, any single one of those who know the truth could double think keeping Sonny’s secret.

So far, Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy), Carly (Laura Wright), and Michael (Chad Duell) know that Sonny killed Jagger Cates. Could someone turn the tables on Sonny and implicate him to save Kristina? He’s protected by attorney-client confidentiality, so Diane is out of the question. According to the latest GH rumors, the most likely person to betray Sonny is Michael. First, it wouldn’t be the first time. Second, Kristina is his sister. And third, Carly will always stick by Sonny.

General Hospital Spoilers: Natalia Remains Hopeful- Do Natalia And Sonny Have A Future Together?

Natalia Ramirez and Sonny Corinthos

Do any General Hospital fans hope that Natalia and Sonny Have A Future? …If it were up to Natalia Ramirez (Eva LaRue) she and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) would have already hit the sheets. Well, at least that’s my take on her discernible flirting with the Port Charles mobster. An audience perspective can see through her inner desires. Evidently, her laugh, body language, and now even the words she says to Sonny allude to Natalia’s romantic desires.

General Hospital previews indicate that Natalia remains hopeful for what’s ahead. It’s possible that Blaze’s mom has on rose colored glasses when it comes to Sonny. Apparently, she hasn’t the slightest clue that he murdered Agent John Cates (Adam Harrington). For the time being, Cates’s actual murderer walks free.

Meanwhile, Kristina’s (Kate Mansi) mother Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) is locked up on murder charges. Surely, Alexis has been wrongfully indicted. As much as I hate to say it, Sonny Corinthos is the one who belongs behind bars.

Do Natalia and Sonny Have A Future?

Unless Sonny and Carly pull off their alibi- Sonny Corinthos is going to spend the rest of his life in Federal Prison. And if the once Mr. and Mrs. Corinthos can fake it until they make it… then what room is there for Natalia? That’s right, none.

General Hospital News: GH’s Nancy Lee Grahn Comes For Antonio Sabato Jr.

Nancy Lee Grahn Comes For Antonio Sabato Jr.
GH’s NLG Comes For Antonio Sabato Jr.

Nancy Lee Grahn Comes For Antonio Sabato Jr. …Whenever I take a moment and become reminiscent of the 90s, I think, “what a time to be alive!” Especially when it comes to the iconic storylines that shaped the people of Port Charles. Off-set, Nancy Lee Grahn Comes For Antonio Sabato Jr.

In 1992, Antonio Sabato Jr. joined General Hospital’s iconic cast. He portrayed John “Jagger” Cates from 1992-1995. His time in the daytime drama may have been short, but Sabato’s presence remains unforgettable. Then, Nancy Lee Grahn’s acting experiences as Beverly Wilkes (ABC’s OLTL), and Julia Wainwright (NBC’s Santa Barbara) helped lead Grahn to land the role of Alexis Davis.

In September of 1996, Grahn began her time on General Hospital as Attorney Alexis Davis. Working for the mob, Alexis had a prominent role in Port Charles alongside her client, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Although Jagger and Alexis had very bliss ties to Sonny, the two never crossed paths in the 90s. And despite never having worked together, Nancy drew attention to the possibility that she was given Sabato‘s old dressing room.

According to General Hospital news reports, Grahn’s recent posts reveal the latest GH drama. Off-set, GH’s Alexis Davis and former General Hospital star are at odds. Antonio Sabato Jr.’s character, Jagger (Adam Harrington), was recently killed off the show. But Sabato hasn’t played the role since 1995. Last week, Grahn shared an IG photo referencing the former Jagger’s old dressing room.

Jason Tells Anna About Valentin

Jason Tells Anna About Valentin! Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) knows that he and Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) are working toward the same goals. Despite their differences, and the blurred lines between mobsters and law enforcement, Anna and Jason want the same thing. Evidently, both parties aim toward ending Pikeman. Both parties have their own reasons to investigate Pikeman, but some commonalities include Agent Cates and Sonny Corinthos.

Jason’s goal is to protect Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Carly (Laura Wright), and to free himself from Agent Cates’s (Adam Harrington) control. Meanwhile, Anna’s ties to the WSB and the PCPD make it her job. However, it’s not all business for Anna either.

Can Jason trust Anna and Valentin?
Can Jason trust Anna and Valentin?

When it comes to supporting Sonny Corinthos, Anna Devane errs on the side of caution. Despite their seemingly close friendship and Sonny’s unwavering loyalty to Anna, the former WSB Agent can’t reciprocate. She has an obligation to hold up the law, despite her care and concern for her friend Sonny. Lately, Anna’s dubious faith in Sonny shows in her approach to handle Pikeman. But that hasn’t stopped her from working alongside Sonny’s bestie, Jason.

According to General Hospital spoilers, Jason’s the one with dubious thoughts about Anna. He trusts her but he isn’t sure how much he can trust her when Valentin is part of the equation. Recently, her instinct to protect her once great love almost destroyed Jason’s efforts to nail Pikeman and appease Cates. So this time Jason needs to be sure that Anna won’t compromise the greater good for the likes of Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).

How will she take it when she learns that Valentin is responsible for tampering with Sonny’s meds?!

General Hospital Spoilers: Jagger And Ava Have The Upper Hand- Sonny And Kristina Fight For Freedom

Jagger Arrests Kristina And Traps Sonny

Kristina Corinthos (Kate Mansi) and her family are in shock after Agent Cates (Adam Harrington) delivered the news. Sonny’s daughter is under arrest! Kristina’s in a fragile state after the tragic fall that caused her to lose her baby. But that didn’t stop her father’s latest enemy from coming after the grieving young mother. This is all a game where Jagger arrests Kristina and traps Sonny.

GH recaps recall how Agent John Jagger Cates ambushed Sonny Corinthos’s (Maurice Benard) daughter as she was leaving the hospital. Conveniently, the arrest came after Cates and Ava Jerome (Maura West) conspired against her. Agent Cates even admitted that those photos can tell any story they want. Unfortunately for Kristina, Ava and Agent Jagger Cates spun the story to make her look like the perpetrator. Now it comes down to a he said- she said situation. It’s Kristina’s word over Ava’s and the photos give an illusion that validates both theories.

According to the latest General Hospital spoilers and previews, Jagger’s plan puts Sonny right where he wants him. Agent Cates has set up the perfect crime so that when Kristina goes down, Sonny goes down with her- or instead of her! GH rumors claim that Sonny either goes after Jagger and trips up- landing himself in Pentonville, or, gives himself up to the FBI to free Kristina from Cates’s trap. As a result, Sonny himself lands in Jagger’s trap.

Following in Ma’s footsteps, Brook Lynn Quartermaine’s (Amanda Setton) record label stirs up nostalgia. It was three decades ago when BLQ’s Ma Lois Cerullo (Rena Sofer) and her bestie, Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil) launched L and B Records.

General Hospital Spoilers: Kristina Corinthos Gives Up On Motherhood And Follows In Daddy’s Footsteps- Kristina Joins The Mob With Sonny

Kristina Joins The Mob With Sonny

Kristina Joins The Mob With Sonny. Like father, like daughter! At least that’s what they say anyways. Often times little girls grow up idolizing their father. Daddy’s little girl holds a special place in a father’s eyes, and creates a life long bond between a father and daughter. Fortunately, Sonny and Kristina have a solid relationship.

General Hospital recaps highlight the nature of Sonny and Kristina’s relationship. Over the years the Port Charles mobster has revealed his softer side. He’s a family man by nature, but his work brings out the cunning business man in him. Together, Sonny’s good heart and fearsome business tactics make for an ominous atmosphere. The ones closest to him are those who are the most in danger. That’s because anyone that gets too close to Sonny runs a higher risk of becoming collateral damage- or a straight up victim.

Ultimately, being kidnapped, assaulted, or worse is not out of the norm if you mean something to Sonny. That’s why he’s always stressed about not wanting his children near the business. Michael came the closest to joining the mob, and still displays mob-like behavior when necessary.

Meanwhile, General Hospital spoilers tease that Sonny has to worry about Kristina now that she wants in. They both want Ava to pay for what she’s done. Will this father/daughter duo work side by side as mobsters in Port Charles?
