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.
GH vet hints at a Steve Burton return! Double-duty soap star Wall Kurth weighs in on the most talked about General Hospital topic of current times. Kurth knows all about working on two soap operas at once, so he has some credible insight on the situation. We might know him as Ned Ashton Quartermaine, but there’s another network that claims Kurth as well. Before there was Ned, Wally started as Justin Kiriakis on NBC’s Days Of Our Lives.
Wally Kurth Weighs In On Steve Burton
According to the latest General Hospital news, Wally Kurth shared some insight on today’s most talked about topic. As previously mentioned, Kurth currently works for ABC’s General Hospital, as well as Peacock’s Days Of Our Lives. Because of his experience, working on both soaps, he had a little something to add to a recent conversation.
In a podcast published to social media platforms, GH news and spoilers reports confirm that Kurth weighed in on the perpetual curiosity of Steve Burton’s aka Jason Morgan’s fans. Is he or isn’t he? Evidently, despite Burtons current contract status with DOOL, co-star Kurth said, “he’ll be back on the show (General Hospital) soon.”
Although Burton remains under contract, GH spoilers and news reports confirm that the iconic mob enforcer signed a one year contract which will be up in March of 2024. So far it’s six months down and six to go before his contract with Peacock’s Days.
Despite his 2021 exit, many argue that ABC’s General Hospital is Steve Burton‘s home. Compromising his beliefs wasn’t something he was about to do to keep his job. However, the mandate has been lifted. Therefore., that being said, along with thirty years as Jason Morgan under his belt, fans hold out hope he will return to GH.
What do you think? Is Wally Kurth’s prediction right?
Sonny’s most memorable enemy REVEALED! …I’m not sure how I would take it if I was given that title. Actually, never mind. Being named Sonny Corinthos’s most memorable enemy is nothing short of an honor. Especially if that’s what you were going for all along.
Undoubtedly, Sonny has had the cream of the crop when it comes to top tier villains. Over the years, all of Sonny’s enemies gave him a run for his money. From Frank Smith to Faith Rosco (Cynthia Preston), Manny Ruiz to Anthony Zacchara, Sonny’s had his mob work cut out for him. And of all the men and woman who’ve ever had it out for Sonny have tried and failed. But there is only one “the boss” has named his most memorable enemy.
As you know, Maurice Benard is currently on tour. Maurice Benard: The Milestone Tour, is hitting the east coast and mid-west areas. In the past GH fans have expressed their interest in seeing Maurice at fan events outside of his own region. However, it became widely known that Maurice was never a big fan of flying. Understandably, this issue served as an obstacle for Maurice and fans to connect.
Maurice Shares Most Memorable Enemy
Well, fast forward to present day, and Maurice has overcome so much! In 2023 his determination overpowered his fears and he hopped on that place in March. It was the first time flying without his wife, Paula. Naturally, with every experience brings one more at ease with the situation. Maurice is bigger than his fears and it shows. I for one am particularly grateful for this milestone as he finally paid a visit to good ole Detroit (technically, Royal Oak).
That being said, we have some GH spoilers to share- straight from the mobster’s mouth. Thursday night’s event drew General Hospital fans together for an evening with the iconic Maurice Benard. There he spoke to fans about his passions, vulnerabilities, told jokes, laughed and even teared up. During his show, fans were able to ask questions. That’s when someone asked Maurice who he considered to be Sonny’s most memorable enemy.
It didn’t take the family man with a gangster’s alter ego long to spill the tea. The last three decades provide ample opportunities to choose the his biggest villain since each and every one has left a mark. Ultimately, General Hospital Blog reveals that Benard hands Ted King aka Alcazar (Luis and Lorenzo) the honorable title. The early 2000s was wild with mob drama in Port Charles. From 2003-2007, Alcazar was Sonny’s biggest threat… and apparently he left a mark!
Cyrus forms an army (to defeat Pikeman?!) Pentonville prisoners are singing their praises as Cyrus’s preacher-like leadership captivates them. He went from a dangerous drug dealer and killer to a self proclaimed follower of God.
In Port Charles, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) look over their shoulder as they both have enemies lurking in the shadows. Between the Cassadine and the Quartermaine families, scandal and betray runs rampant among the prominent Port Charles families. Each family has their own personal struggles and grievances.
For example, Tracy (Jane Elliot) and the rest of the Q’s scandals mainly surround ELQ. Whereas Curtis (Donnell Turner) and the rest of the Ashford’s are challenged by interpersonal family issues as well as threats from his line of work. As for the Corinthos family, they drawn in the most danger. Due to the nature of his business, Sonny attracts villains like a moth to a flame.
Cyrus Forms An Army- to defeat Pikeman?!
So much goes on individually among the families in town, but something seems different this time. For some reason everything seems connected. Tracy looks like she could be working with Cyrus for crying out loud. And don’t even get me started on Valentin. His connection to Pikeman opens up all sorts of possible, unexpected alliances and secret enemies.
That being said, regardless of how each family has their own crosses to bear, one factor seems to connect it all. Recent GH rumors tease that Cyrus is the connecting factor among all that’s gone wrong within these Port Charles families. Interestingly, although many believe that Cyrus is lying about his newfound faith, seemingly just as many believe he’s trying to help. What if Cyrus forms an army, but not to harm those who already fear him, but help them. Meanwhile, Cyrus leads his fellowship as Pentonville inmates hang on every last word. Who else will Cyrus recruit?
Maurice Benard’s thoughts on Haley and her current status and situation. Today, one of General Hospital’s younger, yet established stars, Haley Pullos, remains under fire. The 25 year old actress crashed on a California highway while driving under the influence.
Since her arrest, the role of Molly Lansing Davis has been recast twice. Understandably, the current situation has kept Pullos away from her role on ABC’s General Hospital. First, the actress told fans she’d be taking some time off work after an accident. Therefore, the inevitable recast would be temporary. Then, news broke of Hayley’s crash and reports of alcohol abs marijuana flooded the media. Now, all of a sudden Haley Pullos and GH fans question whether or not she’ll ever return to the role.
According to GH spoilers and news, debate sparked surrounding her GH status, and if and when Pullos would reprise her role. As expected, opinions vary on unfortunate incident. People will say whatever without even truly knowing the details. Additionally, social media platforms allow anyone and everyone to speak on anything and everything. Which can lead to false information or worse.
Maurice Benard’s Thoughts On Haley
However, there’s one person’s take on the topic that carries relevant weight and credibility. General Hospital news and spoilers reveal Maurice Benard weighs in on Haley Pullos and her current state of affairs. coming from someone who has been there, Benard shares his thoughts based on experience. Of course, not all have to agree. Early this morning Benard shared Pullos’s IG post (selfie) to his Instagram story with an added message. It reads, “take it from me, someone who has been in trouble as a youngster Everybody deserves a second chance.” Scroll down to check out Maurice’s IG Story.
General Hospital Blog wishes Haley Pullos the best as she navigates her way through this tough time.
Josslyn confronts Dex about Sonny! …Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) is one tough cookie. I mean, how could she not be, she’s Carly‘s (Laura Wright) daughter?! we’re just because the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree does it mean they are destined for the same life.
GH recaps recall that Josslyn Jack has never been too fond of the mob. But in true Carly Corinthos Jr. form, Josslyn embarked on this treacherous love journey with Dex Heller (Evan Hofer). Similarly, Carly found herself in a similar situation all those years ago.
According to the latest General Hospital spoilers Josslyn confronts Dex about Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) yet again. Things have been intense and she’s ready for it to calm down. But little does she know this is just the beginning. soon enough, Josslyn Jacks will be put to the test. Will the upcoming mob war change her and Dex forever?
Unfortunately, the intensity is about to surge in Port Charles. Some argue that Josslyn knew exactly what she was getting into when she fell for Dex. Although, other GH fans think that maybe Josslyn isn’t quite cur out for this. Despite the similarities between Josslyn and her mother, it’s possible she isn’t down for this mob life forever.
…Have you ever asked yourself about how certain characters are still able to walk among the rest of even a fictional society? Television or not, we still empathize with others as we watch life throw them every curveball. And we are quick to anger at any character that puts our beloved favorites in harms way.
As we know, not everything is as it seems in Port Charles. Trust is hard to come by these days, while lies and betrayal hide within the hearts of even the softest souls. After all, isn’t that why some of us root for the bad guy? Because we see the soft side to them, i.e. Sonny Corinthos. Sometimes character villains are so sinister that the only direction the role is going is toward the exit, as in, written out of the script.
Over in Soap Opera lala land, both the fans and characters tend to love a good villain. It’s like falling in love with the bad boy. However, some characters just get under our skin or have committed such horrible acts that they are beyond redemption. Although, there isn’t much that a soap character can do that’ll close the door on starting anew.
Gladys Gives Selina Nina’s 50K
As for Gladys Corbin (Bonnie Burroughs), that greedy woman already had her second chance. According to GH recaps, Sonny and Gladys had a heart to heart with his cousin Gladys. That’s when Brando’s (Johnny Wactor) death put things into perspective and Sonny was able to open his heart to a grieving mother. One who is family nonetheless.
General Hospital spoilers tease the walls are closing in on Gladys. She’s in too deep with a sinister doctor and a ruthless woman who just heard the word no from a presumed ally. Not to mention what Sonny is going to do when he finds out. Honestly, Dr. Montague and Selina Wu will be the least of her worries because Gladys is toast when Sonny gets wind of this. But for now, the creepy doc and the ruthless mob Queen are Gladys’s biggest worries.
GH spoilers indicate that now Gladys is $50,000 richer odds are the money won’t go to save Sasha. In fact, brand new General Hospital previews show Selina giving Gladys a very important message. It’s a life and death situation for Sasha, while Nina Reeves and Selina may have made things worse. GH rumors tease that Selina’s demands turn lethal while Nina’s mistake could be deadly.
Of course, Gladys is to blame for Sasha’s current situation. However, Nina should never have trusted Gladys. All she has to do with to with her (and the money), to make sure the story is straight. And I’m sure Gladys has every intention of delivering the money to the doctor in order to free Sasha. Sadly , GH rumors that she has a change of heart. Apparently, Selina’s phone call comes just the precise time that she second guesses what she’ll do with Nina’s money. If Dr. Montague doesn’t get his money, Sasha dies. And if Selina doesn’t get her money, Gladys dies. What will Gladys choose?
Sonny unleashes the Mobster within Selina! …For the most part, Selina Wu (Lydia Look) and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) have a common understanding and mutual respect for one another. That being said, neither party intend to make the other an enemy. Unfortunately, sometimes that a just happen.
General Hospital recaps recall Sonny and Selina’s latest conversation about The Savoy, specifically her back door poker room. Evidently, Selina figured that she could simply walk into Sonny’s office and present him with her personal dilemma. Furthermore, she expected him to agree and comply, but when he didn’t, the dismay was written all over her face.
Previous GH spoilers suggested that Selina is now a woman scorned. Sonny is someone who she thought considered her an ally. If that were true, then why is Sonny Corinthos protecting someone else? Selina second guesses where she ranks with Sonny. Now, she has some important decisions to make. If Sonny wants to protect Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Marshall during their family’s struggle, he may risk putting his own family in peril.
According to earlier GH news and spoilers, Ms. Wu’s portrayer gave insight on Selina and Sonny’s relationship. She revealed her true feelings on how she sees Selina and Sonny’s relationship. The actress recently attended a Coastal Entertainment fan event in which she addressed fan’s questions. “I don’t want that, and personally, I feel like for the storyline, it wouldn’t be good for us to have a fight.”
Greed drives Sonny’s enemy! Who’s after Sonny’s territory? And furthermore, who is willing to eliminate him to gain control? The people of Port Charles took a lot of heat this Summer. Threats, secrets, and betrayals the big day players scrambling to be a step ahead of the enemy. However, it’s not easy when unidentified enemies lurk behind every corner.
The Pikeman Organization remains Sonny’s largest mystery threat of current time. Sure, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) has enemies all over the place, and for various reasons. This time, it seems like it’s all about power and greed. Whereas in the past, many of Sonny’s even wits were our for revenge. Regardless, the threat is real and Sonny and Brick much work fast for answers.
According to the latest GH previews, Sonny’s enemy wants him out of the way for good. The monster knows he must strategize in order to outsmart the enemy. GH spoilers reveal that Brick sits down with Sonny to go over key points of the situation. That’s when he realizes that maybe someone just wants what’s Sonny’s. Greed drives Sonny’s enemy in the latest mob drama. Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) has always been about gaining control of Port Charles. But he doesn’t mess with petty cash. Will they find out who and intercept before it’s too late?
Is Dex in danger or is Dex the danger?! At this point, can Carly trust Dex?! The fact that Dex has been trusted to protect Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) AFTER being hired to take him down will never make sense to me. Nonetheless, Carly and Michael (Chad Duell) made the decision to keep Dex on payroll to now help protect Sonny.
According to GH spoilers, Brick believes that greed drives Sonny’s latest enemy. In recent GH previews, Brick suggest that someone wants the money for themselves and Sonny out and the way. Additionally, the same GH previews promo shows Carly giving a warning out of a dangerous situation. And from the looks of things she could be talking to Dex. Because then, Dex is shown in what looks like a life or death situation. Something doesn’t seem right about the way Dex is acting. Peculiarly, it almost looks like he’s running in the opposite direction of an exit or any type of safety. So, can Carly trust Dex to help protect Sonny from them enemy? Or, is Dex the enemy?
Major General Hospital rumors speculate that brick is 100% correct , and that someone wants the money for themselves. Watch out, Sonny! Is that someone Dex Heller (Evan Hofer)?
Maurice is done with Sonny having kids. Along with the infamous Corinthos moss bowl, Sonny Corinthos’s baby mama drama and child count are ongoing hot topics among GH fans. Truthfully, it’s become more like a joke at this point.
Presumably, with every lost and lonely soul that arrives in Port Charles, there’s about 500 General Hospital fans who assume the new character is another of Sonny’s long lost children. Ok, we aren’t totally serious. And to be honest, the number 500 just popped up out of nowhere. However, in all seriousness, GH news reports confirm that Maurice Benard has put to bed some ongoing GH rumors. Of course, those rumors surround his iconic character, Sonny Corinthos. Back in his earlier days as a mobster, money, power, respect, coffee, and women were what defined Sonny. Today, several of those women became mother’s to his many children.
Previously, GH spoilers and rumors made claims that Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) is either Sonny’s or Jason Morgan’s son. His undivulged past and family life leaves open opportunity for a major story. Furthermore, More recently, GH rumors claim that first, Betty Rutherford (Ella Lentini) is Sonny’s daughter, and two, that she could be Dex’s twin. If true, Betty and Dex work together to get revenge on the sad they never know. Ok, maybe.
According to GH news and spoilers, Maurice gives fans something to ponder when he opens up about his role as Sonny. The latest GH spoilers reveal that Maurice admits that he’s done with Sonny having kids. In a statement to SOD, Benard expressed how he really feels about it. He explained, “That’s the cool thing; whoever thought of Sonny having so many kids- even though I’m done with Sonny having kids!… it’s been the smartest thing because that’s the reason he has to help her.”
Now, what we don’t know is if this statement reflects a certain before and after. Meaning, are his thoughts Sonny’s current number of kids, or does he take into account the rumored additions that may be written for the near future? Regardless, Maurice is so over it. Maurice is done with Sonny having kids. Period.
