He went right over to intervene and calm the man down and instead was then violently hit to the ground himself, suffering multiple bruises and a serious head gash and concussion resulting in fluid to his brain. The man then proceeded to beat his wife unconscious. Vincent was rushed to the ER and had to be treated for his head wound, injuries and tests run.

It sounds like Izizarry’s act of heroism hasn’t come without consequences. We pray for a successful surgery and complete healing.
Mortified. That’s just one word that can be used to describe the way Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) and Cameron Webber (William Lipton) are feeling after a video of their first time.
Josslyn is all out of sorts after the shocking reveal of her sex video with Cam was blasted through college servers and shortly after, going viral across the internet. GH spoilers indicate Josslyn handles herself well when it comes to the humiliation of having something so private become very public. However, GH spoilers and rumors indicate that Joss won’t be this poised when it comes to dealing with the person who is responsible.
Josslyn has a pretty good idea that the person who recorded and leaked the video was none other than Spencer Cassadine’s (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) girlfriend Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl). She and Trina Robinson (Sydney Mikayla) didn’t hold back with their accusations and call out points.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Carly reacts to Josslyn after Joss approaches her mom with the situation. she will also tell her mom all about the weekend away with Cam, Trina, Spence, and Esme. Previously, General Hospital spoilers and rumors suggested that Esme would have to answer to Carly when her goal at framing Trina failed. Upcoming GH rumors indicate that’s exactly what’s going to go down. After Josslyn turns to Carly for support, Carly will have some things Esme needs to hear.

Wiley is also the grandson of Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) who Nina kept away from that very sad grandchild for almost a year.
General Hospital previews indicate Nina is ready to risk her chances with Sonny as she reveals she is about to take legal action against his son Michael and Wiley’s mother adoptive Willow.
General Hospital rumors and spoilers reveal although she’s taking a risk, things will begin to look like they’re goin in her favor when Sonny stands up for Nina’s right to see their grandson.
General Hospital’s lead actor Maurice Benard, known for his role as Poet Charles mob boss Sonny Corinthos, has revealed some upcoming General Hospital news and spoilers.

There are many aspects of life that can capture the feeling of our lost youth, making you feel like a kid again. As we get older, lifestyle, overall wellness, and social settings, and personal interests can bring out a youthful part if us we haven’t felt in some time.
General Hospital news and spoilers report GH leading lady, Laura Wright has revealed what is suddenly making her feel like she’s 28 years old. General Hospital spoilers reveal Laura has take to twitter to express how she feels about starting to watch The West Wing. In a tweet below, Laura explains what discovering this series has done for her.
I just started The West Wing — my heart is happy. I feel like I’m 28 yrs old again- can’t believe I’ve never seen it
General Hospital news and spoilers reports indicate GH’s leading lady Laura, aka Carly Corinthos has not necessarily found the fountain of youth in the typical way one would expect. But in watching this series, she admits her “heart is happy.”
The Corinthos family has never been more torn apart than they are in this moment. The water is already hot where Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Carly Corinthos (Laura wright) are concerned because of Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros). Throwing Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen), Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and Wiley in the mix is a recipe for disaster.
General Hospital spoilers reveal The Corinthos Family is headed straight for war over the little boy who links them all in this messy family feud. Nina Reeves is relentless when it comes to pleading her case but the victim mentality doesn’t work with Michael and Willow. Willow has always been an advocate of keeping Nina in Wiley’s life until recently. The way she is handling things with Sonny with zero regard for Carly or the rest of his family has Michael and Willow convinced that Nina shouldn’t be anywhere near their child. Nina has already threatened to legally fight for her rights as Wiley’s biological grandma.
General Hospital spoilers and previews suggest Sonny takes a stand and tries to demand visitation for Nina to spend time with Wiley. GH rumors hint this will be the last straw, the final push that will send Sonny’s family over the edge. He’s pushing everyone away until Nina is the only thing he has left. Sonny is clearly not in the right state of mind and as a result, Nina thinks she has won.

The friendship and unbreakable bond you see between Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) and Chad Duell (Michael Corinthos) not only shines through their fictional personas, but the connection they share as real life friends has us convinced as well.
Maurice and Chad are a dynamic duo as father and son on ABC’s General Hospital. The strong bond they have with one another looks like it was a match made in Heaven right from the start. However, General Hospital news reports reveal a side to their story we never knew.
Maurice Benard is also known for his YouTube series, State of Mind, where he dives into all things related to mental health, personal struggle, overcoming and accepting weaknesses, development of strength and much more. In a recent episode featuring co-star and friend, Chad Duell, the two open up about how their relationship began.
Chad was cast in the role of Michael Corinthos, son of Sonny and Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright). Although Sonny was not Michael’s biological father, his father AJ Quartermaine (Sean Kanan) was cut out of the child’s life for the greater good (according to Carly). It was 2010 and Duell was stepping into the role of Michael after predecessor, Drew Garrett was fired. GH spoilers reveal Benard admits he was “pissed” after receiving notice that TPTB over at GH fired the young actor as Sonny’s son. Benard admitted he had gotten close with Garrett, and wasn’t very welcoming to Chad.
GH news regarding Chad’s journey starting with his audition reveal he has originally came to audrion for the role of Kiefer, the abusive boyfriend of Sonny’s daughter Kristina Corinthos (Lexi Ainsworth). Here’s there things get interesting. Chad sought out to play Kiefer, but the executives over at GH felt Duell would be better suited as Michael Corinthos, bumping Garrett out of the role. When reflecting on the early times, Duell admitted he was anxious to start his new job since knowing, “somebody just got fired because of me.” Things were particularly uncomfortable for Chad when he reflects back on his first run-in with Mo in the hallway. He said, “I met you in the hallway and you weren’t making eye contact with me. And I was like, ‘Okay, that’s a good start. He wasn’t happy.’”
General Hospital spoilers reveal Benard disclosed he gave Chad the cold shoulder for about 6 months, whereas Chad corrected him and admitted he didn’t think it was for that long. In playful banter, Maurice replied, “Don’t try to defend what I did,” which Chad quickly came back with, “I’m not. I’ll gladly throw you under the bus.” Chad remembers how it felt working through his first scenes with co-star Dominic Zamprogna (Dante Falconeri), admitting he killed Claudia Zacchara (Sarah Joy Brown). A ball of nerves, Duell describes his first scenes as having panic attacks and sweating through two shirts. Chad admitted, “I knew everybody was looking at me like, ‘Oh, this is the guy that got him [Drew Garrett] fired, we’ll see what he can do.’ And the stuff I had to do in that take, like that’s getting baptism by fire. And I think, they’re going to fire me, I felt like I couldn’t do it, I wasn’t performing well because I was too nervous to actually let my performance come through.”
It’s apparent these two have come a long way in their progress at work as well as their relationship on and off screen. Maurice Benard and Chad Duell are like family to one another… a TV father and son relationship that has been able to spill over into their personal lives is what they have become today. Maurice admits that while watching Chad’s intense scenes on the witness stand, he was struggling with coming to terms with how impressed he was by Chad’s acting skills. Benard revealed to Duell, “You were killing it, and I hated it,” Benard disclosed. “That’s how much of a jerk I was. ‘He’s doing so good, dammit. He’ll mess up here… ’ And you never did. It was actually a very good performance.”
Thankfully the tension between Maurice and Chad subsided shortly after Benard watched Chad’s intense scenes. The performance must have struck a cord with the Emmy Winner, admitting, “Then I came around, and we became close,” he said warmly and continued, “Like a real son.”
We love this story so much and are thankful these two were able to grow together and become the pair they are today.
