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.
Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) is viewed as a family man by half of Port Charles. The other half sees a ruthless mobster. As for the audience, the same applies. GH fans are split between adoring the loving father and honorable man that is Sonny Corinthos, and the fearsome gangster.
Retrospectively, there’s no doubt about Sonny’s long history of good and bad. While some remember the good and the bad, others only remember the bad. GH recaps recall the time when Sonny shot Dante Falconeri. Unbeknownst to Sonny, his old girlfriend Olivia Falconeri (Lisa LoCicero) gave birth to a baby boy. Many years later Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) showed up in Port Charles. He was an undercover cop, and Sonny didn’t know he had a so. Suddenly, one thing led to another and Sonny shot Dante! Mr. Corinthos had almost killed his own son and didn’t even know it.
GH Bloodshed! Sonny Shoots Dex
General Hospital rumors tease that history repeats itself. Back when Dante was was undercover, Sonny knew nothing of their relationship. Tragically, he pulled the trigger and shot his own son!
This time, Sonny shoots Jason’s son! Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Jason (Steve Burton), Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) is his son.
Natalia Rogers Ramirez (Eva LaRue) is new to town, but seems to be adjusting well. Her daughter is a rising star and as Blaze’s manager, Natalia is in town for family and business. Although the world may know her as Blaze, Natalia’s daughter’s name is Allison.
Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and his daughter Kristina (Kate Mansi) have a strong and secure relationship. They support each other and fully trust that each has the other’s best interest at heart. Even when Christina came out sunny, supported his daughter for who she is. that’s more than we can say for Natalia. Despite her close minded outlook, it’s possible that Blaze’s mom isn’t a lost cause. In fact, Sonny’s influence on her may have quite an impact.
According to General Hospital spoilers, Natalia continues to grow increasingly smitten with Kristina’s dad. Obviously, this doesn’t sit well with Ava Jerome (Maura West). GH fans knew better than to trust the ex-mob lady. GH recaps revisit that fact that Ava is an actual murderer, and she killed Sonny’s ex-bride, Connie Falconeri (Kelly Sullivan). Not to mention, she had a hand in his son Morgan’s (Bryan Craig) death.
Natalia’s In Danger!
The latest General Hospital spoilers and rumors tease that Sonny’s new friend is in danger. It was only a matter of time before Ava revealed her true colors- to us anyway. As for Sonny, he’s buying her act, hook, line, and sinker. She knows more about his medication. GH rumors indicate that Ava uses it to her advantage. But that’s not all she has up her sleeve. Ava targets Natalia out of jealousy, and for the fact that she’s now in the way. How will Ava get her out of the picture?
Ava Jerome (Maura West) faced a harsh reality check when she learned her place in Sonny Corinthos’s (Maurice Benard) life.
Only on Soap Operas can someone commit murder, get away with it, and then walk around town becoming friends with the victim’s loved ones. Shockingly, GH addressed Ava’s crimes when Olivia Falconeri (Lisa LoCicero) raised concerns about Ava Jerome coming to Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase’s (Josh Swickard) wedding. Despite Sonny’s recent judgement blunders, he made a good call when it comes to Ava. He assured Olivia- and Ava that she would NOT be his plus one for the wedding. Disrespecting Connie Falconeri’s memory is exactly what bringing Ava would embody.
The latest GH spoilers tease that there’s a new woman in two. That has caught Sonny’s eye. Natalia Rogers Ramirez (Eva LaRue) is the woman in his sights and Ava isn’t happy about it. According to the latest GH rumors, Natalia becomes Sonny’s plus one to Chase and Brook Lynn’s wedding. Ava Jerome tried to weasel her way into Sonny’s orbit, and for a while it was working. But she recently faced a harsh reality when Sonny made her place in his life crystal clear.
No one is really sure what Ava Jerome (Maura West) has been up to. What we know so far is that she thought she had Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) right where she wants him. Until now, it looked as if Sonny was going to fall for Ava.
Then, something unexpected happened and changed the course of their new relationship. In swept Natalia right when Sonny needed an intervention the most. Although unintentional, Natalia’s presence serves as a barrier between Ava, Sonny, and her covertly nefarious intentions.
General Hospital spoilers tease that Ava Jerome goes down in flames once she’s exposed. It looks as though Carly got the process started but Sonny just doesn’t appreciate her quite yet. Soon enough, Ava’s cozy little situation is about to become very uncomfortable.
Moreover, for a while it looked as though Carly (Corinthos) Spencer (Laura Wright) and Ava were getting along just fine for Avery’s sake. But now Ava’s fallen into her seedy ways and is trying to pull one over on Sonny- and everyone else. Despite Sonny’s lack of faith in his ex-wife Carly, he’ll soon see that she’s remained genuine this entire time. That’s much more than he can say for Ava, Nina, and all the others who have turned their back on Sonny.
General Hospital has showcased some real characters over the years. Port Charles has seen it all. From vile villain to everyone’s most adored Port Charles residents, and everywhere in between. On that note, it’s difficult to recall a more controversial role in whose mere presence has caused such polarizing reactions.
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) are over and there’s no going back. She doesn’t have much left after losing Sonny. In fact, her friendship with Ava Jerome (Maura West) was one of her only true connections in PC. Now that she and Ava are in the outs, what’s left on Port Charles for Nina Reeves?
According to recent General Hospital news and spoilers, Cynthia Watros may be saying goodbye to General Hospital and the cast that she came to love so much. Recently, the actress reached out to fans on the social media platform X. Watros reflected on her journey as Nina Reeves on General Hospital. According to her X post below, she specifically mentioned Sona and Niva. In other words, Sonny and Nina, along with Nina and Ava fans. It looks like the doors have closed on Nina’s relationship with Sonny and her friendship with Ava Jerome. Additionally, Nina has already burned the bridge to her daughter Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), which her children as well. Sadly, Nina’s actions have kept her away from her family in fear that her toxic way would harm them.
Recent GH news reports hint that Cynthia Watros exits General Hospital as Nina after losing both Sonny and Ava. While GH comings and goings have yet to be reported, the actress’s comment has left fans wondering. She stated that she loved her Sona/Niva peeps and that she’s loved every minute of her journey. Some GH fans believe that Watros hinted at her GH exit, while others believe she simply expressed her gratitude for her fans, and Nina’s time with Sonny and Ava.
I love you my Sona/Niva peeps. Loved every minute of this journey❤️ xo
Does this mean that Cynthia Watros exits GH after two of Nina’s doors have closed? Or does it simply mean that Nina is moving on from hanging around mobsters?
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!
