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.
After Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) had Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) tortured while accusing him of being the Port Charles hook attacker, Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) thinks he has his father right where he wants him.
General Hospital recaps recall Dex’s statement to Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) when being questioned about his bruised and what Sonny had allegedly done to him. He told Dante that whoever told him Sonny was responsible, lied. When reporting back to Michael, Dex was able to please Michael with how he handled Dante’s questioning. Michael believes he has Sonny right where he wants him.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Michael proceeds with his plans fo destroy his father, despite Sonny’s desperate plea for Michael to understand the value of family.
General Hospital rumors suggest that Michael may think he has Sonny right where he wants him, but Dex could have other plans. Ever since the beginning, GH rumors have speculated that Dex will soon jump ship, having Michael’s plan blow up in his face.
Rory is the GH hook killer?! Or her accomplice?! Ava Jerome (Maura West) is a dear friend and like a second mother to Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali). The pair confide in each other over their daily lives, as well as troubles and triumphs.
General Hospital recaps recallTrina’s conversation with Ava, seeking advice about Rory Cabrera (Michael Blake Kruse). Rory has asked Trina to go on a little getaway, but Trina is apprehensive because she’s been traumatized by her last weekend trip where Esme Prince’s (Avery Kristen Pohl) scheming changed Trina’s life.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Trina has overlooked her initial instincts. Ignoring her unshakable feelings puts Trina in a life or death situation.
General Hospital rumors hint that Rory isn’t the good cop and friend Trina believes him to be. Rory is hiding who he really is, and playing Trina for a fool. He has ill intentions while masking them with care and concern, making him seem like the perfect boyfriend.
Is Rory’s request to take a mini vacation with Trina a trap? From model citizen and rookie officer at the PCPD, it might turn out that Rory is the GH hook killer. GH spoilers and rumors suggest that ADA Arden (Jennifer Field) and Rory are working together in the attacks against those who are connected to Trina. Although we know the GH hook killer is a woman, that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have an accomplice. More details point to Rory as the one helping ADA Arden get closer to her goal. Now all that’s left is their endgame- and that’s getting Trina alone.
If Trina was scared about going on the trip because of what happened with Esme, she’ll really be afraid now.- Trina.
Things are looking grim on the streets of Port Charles as the residents live in fear.
There is a serial killer on the loose and the only lead for the PCPD to go off of is Diane’s description. Diane was certain her attacker was a woman, raising eyebrows across down and pointing fingers at the woman who’s win the award, “Most likely to become a serial killer.” Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) is on the minds of many. Although believed to be dead, her body was never found.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) catches Esme in the act, but it’s not what you’d think. GH previews indicate that Esme breaks into Wyndemere to steal for her wealthy one night stand. Esme is definitely the one people think of first when trying to nail a suspect. She may be many things but she isn’t the PC hook killer.
General Hospital previews and spoilers show Port Charles law enforcement working tirelessly to find the person or persons terrorizing their city. Another tally is added to the body count when another victim is discovered.
Oz Haggerty (Max Faugno) became the fourth victim and third to die. Why is this happening and who is the GH hook serial killer?!
It’s not often that Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) goes back on his work. But some things in life are more important than vendettas.
General Hospital spoilers reveal this week status the memorial service for Sonny’s cousin, Brando Corbin (Johnny Wactor). Sonny and Brando has been increasingly growing closer since he moved to Port Charles. Brando swept in, guns ablazin’ to save Carly Corinthos’s (Laura Wright) life. Now that he’s gone, Sonny reflects on the importance of family.
General Hospital previews indicate that Brando’s mom Gladys Corbin (Bonnie Burroughs) struggles with the loss of her son, while putting life into perspective.
GH spoilers indicate that Gladys’s words have an effect on Sonny in a way that gets him thinking. His relationship with his son, Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) has been strained since Michael doesn’t approve of his father choosing Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) over his mom and their entire family. Michael is hell bent on getting revenge, and in doing so he openly plans to destroy his father. Sonny approached Michael with an olive branch offer, but that doesn’t mean Michael will accept. His employee, Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) is more determined than ever to take Sonny down after being tortured and accused. Even if Michael wants a truce with Sonny, Dex is still out for blood.
TWO hook killers on General Hospital? The people of Port Charles and General Hospital fans alike have been racking their brains trying to figure out who is going around killing the what seems to be a specific group of people.
At first it seems like Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) had it out for his wife. But when Ava Jerome (Maura West) became the FIRST victim, not the ONLY victim, suspicions changed. Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and those who know him have been noticing that each victim has something in common- a connection to Sonny in some way. However, General Hospital rumors and spoilers hint that the people of Port Charles, including the PCPD are heading down the wrong path.
General Hospital spoilers reveal another connection among the victims. According to recent GH spoilers and speculation, a breakdown of each victim and why they were targeted can be found HERE. Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) seems to be the other common factor for each victim as they were all part of the process which help prove her innocence. Brando Corbin (Johnny Wactor) happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time when the hook killer’s intended victim was actually Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy).
General Hospital spoilers and rumors have lead fans down a new path, away from being connected to Sonny. Instead it looks as though each victim is linked by Trina, and the person who lost their case against the innocent young woman is none other than Assistant District Attorney, Jennifer Arden (Jennifer Field). Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy) has described her attacker to be a woman, yet that has left some fans puzzled. Some say the attacker seen by the audience has a much different build than the ADA, which could mean that she isn’t working alone.
General Hospital rumors claim that ADA Arden has an accomplice. There could be two hook killers on General Hospital, roaming around Port Charles. While many GH fans felt something suspicious about Rory Cabrera (Michael Blake Kruse, he gives off a “too good to be true” type of vibe. It’s possible Rory and Arden are working together, using Rory as the bait to lure Trina Robinson. The ADA is a sore loser and from Molly Lansing Davis’s experience tells, racism runs throughout the DA’s office, excluding Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers).

If you have been following soap operas for a long time like most of us daytime tv fans, it’s likely you know a little something about the filming style and schedule of a soap actor.
General Hospital news and spoilers reveal soap operas are filmed in a demanding, high paced environment, that is designed to roll our once scene after another. With early call times and long hours, having a solid work ethic among the cast is key.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Maurice Benard sat down with daytime star, Rena Sofer, on the YouTube series, State of Mind. In the interview, the longtime friends discussed many aspects of life, focusing on their time together while playing Bensonhurst Besties, Sonny Corinthos and Lois Cerullo. Sonny and Lois had counterparts, or, love interests at the time that completed what was referred to as, the fearsome foursome. Vanessa Marcil and Wally Kurth played along side Maurice and Lois as Brenda Barrett and Ned Ashton.
In Maurice’s interview with Rena, she recalled a specific time while on set with Marcil; an incident that occurred m which set the tone for their working relationship was the turning point for the young actress. Rena recalled a time when Vanessa was late, didn’t show up, and Vanessa told Rena, “Oh, I’m so sorry, I overslept.” Sofer continued to disclose that Marcil didn’t make entry lines. Rena explained, “And I just remember looking at her and going, ‘I don’t care who you do that, don’t do it with me. I don’t want that.’” Surprised by Sofer’s admission to being bold and straightforward with Vanessa, he asked how she took it. Rena admitted, “I think it really affected her,” she continued, “And maybe she doesn’t even remember that I said that. I think it affected her because every time we ever worked together again, we worked to make our relationship deeper than what they were writing it, which I think is why it was so intense and beautiful.”
Rena and Vanessa’s relationship deepened from that point on. Sofer made it clear that she expects out of her co-workers, the same type of dedication and effort as she puts in. Giving it their all has a lot to do with the success of their era. GH fans couldn’t get enough of Ned and Lois, Sonny and Brenda, and of course, Lois and Brenda. L & B Records was iconic and the bond between Lois and Brenda was as strong as that of Rena and Vanessa.
It’s nice to reflect on the good ole days, back in the 90s when Sonny Corinthos was making a name for himself around Port Charles. After all, coming from Bensonhurst gives immediate street cred.
Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) is on a warpath when it comes to his determination to take down his father, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). He’s gone to great lengths while scheming and lying to get inside information.
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Michael’s scheme to destroy Sonny will eventually be exposed, when all the lies start to catch up with both Michael and Dex Heller (Evan Hofer). Michael’s sister, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) has been sniffing around his employee while being lead to believe that Dex actually works for Sonny. Joss sees Dex’s potential as a resourceful and all around good person and hates the fact that he works for Sonny, living a life of crime.
General Hospital spoilers and preview indicate that Michael’s order for Dex to stay away from Josslyn doesn’t go now he’d hoped. Josslyn is her own woman, and does as she pleases. Besides, Sonny has already ordered Dex to follow and keep an eye on Joss, making it impossible to stay away. Michael is the one who needs Dex to follow Sonny’s orders, so he can’t have his cake and eat it too.
General Hospital previews show that Dex and Josslyn already going against Michael’s order. After taking it upon herself to hunt for and save Dex, Josslyn won’t let go of her attempt to make him see the light about working for her mobster step father. In conversation Dex slips up and tells Josslyn that she sounds like Michael. Josslyn picks up on the inconsistency with his statement since she has been under the impression that Michael and Dex have only run into each other by chance, as they pretend to butt heads over Sonny in public. She immediately confronts him, asking how he’d know she sounds like Michael.
General Hospital rumors suggest that Dex will blow his cover sooner than later, and Michael’s plan will blow up in his face.
What exactly has been going on with Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst)? No one seems to know. Not her doctor, Dr. Kevin Collins (Jon Lindstrom), not her boyfriend, Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton), and not even Liz herself knows what’s going on in the kind of hers- yet.
General Hospital spoilers reveal, little by little, Elizabeth is remembering more and more pieces to the puzzle, fitting them together to recreate the traumatic events of her past.
General Hospital rumors hint that it’s no coincidence the writers made Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) and Elizabeth give each other alibis. At first fans were lead down the path that Nikolas attacked his own wife, Ava Jerome (Maura West), but quickly that was thrown out the window when the attacker struck again while Nikolas’s whereabouts were publicly accounted for. The storyline continues to bring Elizabeth into the thick of it, mentioning more than a few times that Liz still has no idea what she was doing at the time of Ava’s attack.
General Hospital recaps recall Elizabeth admitted to Ava that she [Liz] should be grateful Nikolas gave her an alibi. Although she believes that the alibi served as a precautionary measure, General Hospital rumors hint that Liz’s alibi from Nik will end up buying her time as she figures out what exactly happened that night during her blackout.
Now that Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy) has identified her attacker as a woman, that drastically narrows down the suspect list. While Selina Wu (Lydia Look) is a ruthless mob boss, it’s hard to believe she’d do the dirty work all by herself. Between Elizabeth’s suppressed past trauma, her blackouts, and the fact that the killer was labeled a woman, it could be safe to say that the way things are looking, Elizabeth Webber may ROCK Port Charles in a shocking revelation!
Some see the good in Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) while many see a selfish and entitled woman who wants a pity party as she plays the victim.
While taking zero accountability for the pain she bestows upon others, Nina points the blame for her behavior on those who she feels have wronged her. Does that mean in Nina’s twisted mind that Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) deserves what Nina does next? Nina is bitter and angry with Willow and Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) for their decision to keep her away from their son, and Nina’s grandson, Wiley. Overlooking the fact that she kept Wiley’s grandfather Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) away from his wife and kids for almost a year, to then steal him away from his entire family upon return, Nina feels victimized by Wiley’s parents.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Nina continues to pester and grill Willow after sneakily watching Dr. TJ Ashford (Tajh Bellow) and Willow hug in the halls of GH. Willow is doing her best to keep up with work while trying to protect her baby from chemotherapy. Willow is a selfless mother, unlike Nina who will do and harm anything and anyone to get what she wants. And when she doesn’t get what she wants, she justifies feeling disdain toward those who didn’t give in to her.
Now that Nina has accused Willow of having an affair with TJ behind Michael’s back, she will likely use it to her advantage to get what she wants. GH rumors claim that Nina will blackmail Willow into giving her access to Wiley or else she’ll tell Michael [why she thinks] his wife has been spending so much time at the hospital.
Willow is refusing chemotherapy and sacrificing her own life for the sake of her son’s. And now she has to protect Wiley against Nina (again) too. Nina pushes everyone last button. Willow is strong and determined, but will she be prepared to take on Nina along with everything else she’s facing?
Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) got more than she bargained for after finding out she had two half brothers who have been living very different lives.
Martin Gray (Michael E. Knight) has had the misfortune of growing up with their brother, Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober), while missing out on getting to know his sister, Laura. It was too much to expect that these three siblings would have a happy little family when one of them lives a life of crime and violence.
General Hospital news and spoilers confirm that Cyrus Renault’s return to Port Charles will play a role in many aspects of Laura’s life, starting with her grandson, Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez).
General Hospital recaps recall Cyrus confessing to a Laura that he has found a new path in life and is now a follower of God. He goes around reciting bible quotes and preaching to all who are near to listen. General Hospital spoilers indicate that Cyrus may not be bluffing when he says he’s a changed man. Cyrus has stepped up for his sister’s grandson, Spencer as he was about to face what life in Pentonville has to offer. But just because Cyrus is no longer preying on the innocent, but it doesn’t mean that his life of violence is behind him.
General Hospital rumors and spoilers suggest that Cyrus is putting a new label on his behavior, attempting to seek justice through making the bad guys pay the price.
Laura Spencer has dismissed her brother’s new way of life as just another game Cyrus is playing. When Laura learns how Cyrus helped Spencer out of a sticky situation, will she be able to trust that he had Spencer’s best interest? GH rumors and previews suggest Spencer isn’t out of the woods just yet, while more threats come his way as prisoner in Pentonville. Spencer needs protection. Will Laura appoint her brother Cyrus as the man for the job?
