General Hospital Spoilers, Rumors, News, & Updates
Tag: Maurice Benard
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.
You can deny it all that you want but more clues lead to a controversial theory. It seems that every so often soap operas love to play the “Who’s the Daddy? game. Despite Dex’s divulgence of his home life, GH fans speculate that there is a more complex story to be told.
According to recent General Hospital spoilers and rumors, another clue emerges from Jason Morgan’s (Steve Burton) return. Previously, General Hospital Blog shared theories surrounding Dex’s paternity. Specifically about Jason Morgan and Agent John Jagger Cates (Adam Harrington).
The latest article (above) provides a breakdown of clues that lead to a connection between Jason and Dex. Agent John Jagger Cates returned to Port Charles after three decades with Jason secretly in tow. According to GH recaps, Jagger admitted that he still holds a grudge against Jason. However, his beef is with Jason Quartermaine, not Jason Morgan. Back in the day, Jagger, Jason, and Sonny all had something in common… Karen Wexler (Cari Shayne).
Today, Jagger still can’t let the past go. He’s using Jason as his personal puppet by dangling charges against Carly over his head. What does he hate Jason (Quartermaine) so much? Apparently, Jason gets to the bottom of Agent Cates’s motives when he helps Joss protect Dex against Sonny’s wrath.
Is Dex the reason that John Cates has it or for Golden Boy?
For most of his life Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober) repelled God. His sins eventually became his identity and was only known for the evil he’s done. Then, events in recent years drudged up another version of himself.
Cyrus Renault came to Port Charles to connect with his long lost sister, Laura Spencer Collins (Genie Francis). He equivocated the importance of family as his every action continued to adversely impact those around him. Even his newfound family. GH recaps recall that it was Cyrus’s order for Julian Jerome to place a bomb at the Floating Rib. The intended target was Jason Morgan (Steve Burton), but intentions don’t always come to fruition. Instead, inadvertent, or collateral damage occurred as a result of the missed target. While Jason Morgan might be alive. Lulu Spencer’s life hangs by a thread. And it’s all because of Cyrus.
Family Or Foe, One Should Never Trust Cyrus Renault.
According to General Hospital spoilers and rumors, Laura supports Cyrus and turns her back on her friend Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Laura’s pacifistic values have kept her conflicted about Sonny for years. She knows that there’s more to the Port Charles coffee importer, but their friendship kept Laura loyal until now.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors indicate that Laura comes to regret turning on Sonny. After encouraging Cyrus to come forward and incriminate his attacker, Laura loses a friend.
Sonny already feels like he can’t trust anyone- except for Ava Jerome (Maura West). How will this affect Sonny in combination of his altered meds?
Ava Jerome (Maura West) isn’t one to be underestimated. Especially when it comes to making moves under the radar. But how good is Ava at playing the damsel in distress?
General Hospital recaps recall Ava’s relationships with the people of Port Charles. Sure, she has some genuine connections, but Ava has a seedy past. As a member of the Jerome family, Ava was entangled in organized crime. She got out of the business and out of that life some years ago. However, her brother and sister were still very much in the business until their deaths.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors reveal that there’s suspicions about Olivia Jerome’s recent death. Although Julian Jerome (William deVry) died a couple of years ago, Olivia kept Jerome family relevant in the world of organized crime. But GH recaps recall that Olivia died this past February. She was in the middle of a prison transfer when she was killed.
Did Ava Have Olivia Jerome Killed?
Olivia’s killer remains unknown other than having mob ties. According to GH rumors, Ava isn’t so disconnected from organized crime as she has led on. In fact, she’s right up in Sonny’s business. Did Ava have a have in her own sister’s death? Perhaps Ava wants to be the one with control over organized crime in Port Charles?
Hear me out. On January 4th, General Hospital announced Steve Burton’s long awaited return as Jason Morgan. Co-stars Steve Burton, Kelly Monaco, and Laura Wright surprised fans during GH’s 60th anniversary celebration in Prime Time. From that moment, GH fans couldn’t put down all the possibilities for Jason’s new storyline.
Jagger Isn’t Just Any Old FBI Agent- He Has Ties To Port Charles
Then, on February 6th, GH brings back an iconic character, John Jagger Cates. Adam Harrington debuts as Jagger. The role was previously played by Antonio Sabato Jr. While any old FBI Agent would do, GH decides to bring back a character with history. This storyline involving Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Anna Devane (Finola), Pikeman, and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart), could have sufficed with a random Agent. Instead, they brought back someone who has ties to Port Charles. Specifically Jason Quartermaine/Morgan and Sonny Corinthos.
Jagger’s Got Beef Over Karen, And Jason Can’t RememberA Thing
GH recaps recall that Jagger recently disclosed that his beef isn’t with Jason Morgan. Nope. He admitted that his problem was with Jason Quartermaine, the man Morgan was before the accident. Oddly enough, Agent Cates, aka Jagger, incessantly name drops his and Jason Quartermaine’s ex, Karen Wexler (Cari Shayne). He can’t seem to get over the past.
Like Father, Like Son
Moreover, other clues lead to the latest GH rumors. Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) pointed out the similarities between her mom’s best friend Jason, and Dex, the man Joss loves. Dex and Jason were both loyal to Sonny, and even more loyal to Carly Spencer (Corinthos). They’re both honorable men whose skills come in handy when a life is at stake. Is it a coincidence that Jason and Dex both had a hand in saving Dante’s (Dominic Zamprogna) life? Like Jason, Dex puts his own life on the line like he has nothing to lose. When in reality, they both have a lot to lose.
Overall, the timing of both Jagger and Jason’s return raised questions among fans. The writers could have easily brought a new character to the canvas. Instead, GH chose to utilize a role that has connections to Sonny and Jason, and the rest of PC. In addition, Agent John Cates admitted that he still can’t stand Jason Quartermaine, the man Morgan used to be. Another clue is that Jason confessed that he cannot remember anything from his high school days due to injuries resulting from his and AJ’s (Sean Kanan) car accident.
Dear Old Dad, Scotty Baldwin
General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Jason and Karen had a teen pregnancy. Most likely, Karen hid her pregnancy from Jason and almost everyone in Port Charles. So, how did she pull it off? Well, GH rumors tease that none other than dear old dad helped Karen cover up her pregnancy. Or Karen had a baby, where is the child now? Who is Karen and Jason’s secret child? One possibility has caused major debate among fans. Based on the latest GH rumors, today we know him as Dex Heller (Evan Hofer). Ironically, it just so happens that speculation around Dex’s paternity has been a hot topic among GH fans. GH recaps highlight Dex’s family history. His background seems blurry at best. Previously, we learned that he doesn’t get along with his brother’s. And his overall home life led him to stray from the family. According to GH rumors, Dex was adopted.
All of these clues paired with the fact that Soap Opera love a good “who’s the daddy?” story, leads to a highly possible outcome. Has Jagger’s resentment toward Jason lead him to have this vendetta?
Ava Jerome (Maura West) has gone from a ruthless mobster to a loving mother and a dear friend. While there’s no doubt that she is a loving mother to her daughter Avery, her status as a “dear friend” is what’s in question.
Most definitely, Ava is a good friend to Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali). What’s between them is more than a friendship because Ava sees Trina as another daughter. Avery Corinthos is the light of Ava’s life, but losing Kiki (Hayley Erin) left a hole in her heart. Thankfully, Trina and Ava clicked. By no means does Trina take Kiki’s place, but she helps fill that void for Ava.
Port Charles is a small town, but Trina isn’t Ava’s only friend. Ava is a socialite. So she flutters around town making acquaintances, but has few deep connections. Seemingly, her strongest adult friendship is with Nina Reeves. Ava and Nina‘s friendship is quite strange given their history. According to GH, recaps, Nina kidnapped Sonny and Ava’s daughter Avery at birth. She went on to become Nina’s bestie and married Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Go figure.
As it turns out, GH spoilers and rumors tease that Nina and Ava aren’t really friends at all. Could it be that Ava’s playing Nina and has been this entire time? I mean, what mother can forgive her child’s kidnapper and then become the best of friends? Maybe only if that mother was psycho too!
I don’t know how Sonny keeps up with all the women who come to pass in his life. For the most part, many of Sonny’s ladies get along just fine. In fact, Carly and Ava were even cooperatively co-parenting.
According to the latest General Hospital spoilers and rumors, sonny’s moved on from Nina and ready for his next romantic prospect. Despite the overwhelming fan popularity, GH rumors tease that Sonny and Carly aren’t getting back together just yet. Apparently each will move on to others before their relationship comes full circle.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors tears that Ava Jerome(Maura West), Lois Cerullo (Rena Sofer), and Natalia Rogers Ramirez (Eva LaRue) could be in the runnings. Although Ava and Sonny have been spending a lot of time together, Their history seems too complicated for Anything more than a romp in the crypt. As for Lois, She in the port Charles mobster go way back. After all her best friend, Olivia is Sonny’s ex and they share their son Dante. Not that that really matters because ironically, Olivia is now married to Lois‘s ex-husband Ned (Wally Kurth).
That brings us to the new girl in town, Natalia. Blaze’s mom is a force that’s for sure. She knows what she wants and how she feels, and she’s not afraid to say it aloud. She and Sonny seem to be hitting it off. But GH rumors tease that the witty banter and casual conversations could soon take a turn. According to GH spoilers and rumors, Natalia makes trouble for the Bensonhurst crew, including Sonny.
So far, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) has had a taste of Natalia’s sass and spice. And soon, Sonny will find out what she’s is all about. The latest GH spoilers tease that trouble starts when Lois and Natalia butt heads. Will Blaze and BLQ be the source of their mother’s problems?
There’s no doubt that Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) is the most sought after man in Port Charles. Whether it’s desire or disdain, the women of Port Charles have big thoughts about the charming and lovable mobster.
At this point it’s pretty obvious that Sonny has moved on from Nina (Cynthia Watros). Lately, she hasn’t even crossed his mind. On the other hand, Sonny’s living rent free in Nina’s mind. Meanwhile, Sonny spends most of his time with Ava Jerome (Maura West). So much so that Michael (Chad Duell) and Carly (Laura Wright) are suspicious of her motives.
According to GH spoilers and rumors, Sonny’s next leading lady isn’t who most of us expect. Many fans have hoped for a CarSon reunion since Nina swept in and stole him from Carly. Eventually, I think that Sonny and Carly will find their way back to each other. GH rumors hint that it’s not going to be that simple. Now that Sonny and Carly are both on the market, it’s unlikely they’ll limit themselves to each other. True, Things may not have worked out between Sonny and Nina, and Carly and Drew, but that doesn’t mean Sonny and Carly will get back together so soon.
Lois and Sonny go way back, Ava and Sonny are two peas in a mobster pod. Then there’s Natalia. The new woman in town whose daughter is dating Kristina. Despite her snarky comments, Sonny and Natalia seem to be hitting it off. And of course there’s Carly. She and Sonny are the IT couple of Port Charles, and many GH fans have shipped them for decades.
Is there a new lady out there somewhere for Sonny, or are he and Carly endgame?
Will Sonny Corinthos ever see the light? It’s hard to say at the moment, but from the looks of things this mindset continues to take over the Port Charles mobster.
A few years ago (I stopped counting) the Corinthos family was turned upside down. Nina Reeves took it upon herself to manipulate and basically imprison a husband and father. She found Sonny in Nixon Falls and nothing has been the same since. Shockingly, Sonny chose his captor over his wife and kids shortly after it was discovered that he wasn’t actually dead. Nope, he had amnesia and Nina took advantage of a man who was suffering from memory loss. Now Sonny’s life has been turned upside down and he points the finger everywhere except for in the mirror. Surely Sonny was Nina’s victim, but he eventually had a choice and he chose her over Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) and his kids.
Sonny’s Headed For A Breakdown
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Sonny still suffers the consequences of his choices. So far, his life with Nina has turned into a disaster. Sadly, he continues to throw away life-long relationships even after he and Nina have split. Carly and Jason Morgan have been unfairly accused, regardless of their long and loyal history with Sonny.
According to GH recaps, Valentin Cassadine’s shocking revelation about Pikeman is just another calamitous result of Nina and Sonny’s toxic relationship. Moreover, GH spoilers reveal that things are about to get much worse for Sonny. It’s important that he keeps his wits about himself as he navigates around the enemy. As someone who has bipolar disorder, it’s imperative that Sonny stay on his meds and stays focused. But that’s going to be difficult now that Valentin admitted that he’s messing with Sonny’s bipolar medication. He anticipates that the PC mobster goes off the rails, making him vulnerable to the enemy.
Will Sonny fold, or will someone recognize the problem, swoop in and save the day?
Many would argue that Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) has had more than her fair share of heartbreak and loss. She was in and out of mental hospitals before moving to Port Charles, and her story grew crazier from there. But first, she was separated from her two twin daughters while in a coma. And sadly, her daughter Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier) has already passed. Furthermore, Nina’s other daughter Willow wants nothing to do with her.
GH recaps highlight Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) part in Nina’s life, past and present. Similar to Anna, Nina has always had Valentin’s love. He fell hard for Nina, but his love is what eventually caused Nina’s deepest sorrows. That’s when he hired Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) to pretend to be Nina’s long lost daughter. Although Valentin’s intentions were from the heart, the lie tore them apart. Today, Valentin would still do anything for Nina, and she has forgiven him for the past.
Both Nina and Valentin have moved onto other love interests since their relationship ended. Eventually, Valentin got Anna to fall in the with him, and Nina imprisoned Sonny and then married him. Through it all, Nina and Valentin remained close friends.
Valentin Wants Nina All To Himself
General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Sonny and Valentin’s business dealings were a ploy to get Sonny out of the way. You can call it jealousy, or even protection. Valentin Cassadine’s gestures are boundless, and nothing is off limits when helping people he loves. Especially, the woman of his desires. Lucky for Nina, it’s her.
According to GH spoilers and rumors, Valentin targeted Sonny for Nina. Apparently, when Valentin’s reached out to Sonny regarding the Pikeman deal his nefarious plan was already set in motion. Could it be that Valentin wants Sonny out the way and out of Nina’s life. Is his goal to become one big happy family with Nina and Charlotte?
Recently, an unexpected source supports Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) during this dangerous time. Ava Jerome (Maura West) has been by his side since Austin Holt (Roger Howarth) and his lollipop licking cousin Mason Gatlin threatened their daughter Avery Corinthos.
Sonny Corinthos is no stranger to mob threats and violence. For the most part, the career criminal knows how to hold his own against the enemy, and the police. Thankfully, Corinthos is a coffee importer and his successful business serves as a protective tool against the law. While Sonny has always made it out alive and on the other side, he didn’t get there all on his own.
The last couple of years have been a bit of an adjustment for Sonny in regard to the business. After losing his right hand man, Morgan (Steve Burton), Sonny’s had to navigate around his enemies without his most trusted supporter. Sadly, Sonny has had to go it alone, making things riskier and more complex.
Can Sonny Corinthos Trust Ava Jerome?
General Hospital spoilers and rumors hint that Sonny put his trust in the wrong person without Jason’s guidance on who to and not to trust. Lately, Sonny and Ava’s co-parenting relationship has developed into something deeper. As GH recaps recall, Ava turn to sunny when Austin and Mason were after him and threatened their child. so not only has sunny protected Ava from pikemen and this entire situation. He’s also been dependent on her for support. At one point, Sunny even told Ava that she is the only person he can trust.
General Hospital spoilers tease that Sunny has got it all wrong. Strangely enough sunny doesn’t trust the man who has been by his side for over three decades. Instead, he’s put his trust in a woman who had a hand in his son Morgan’s death. And that is not a limitation on her shady behavior.
