Many of us know from personal experience what it’s like to be embarrassed by our parents and vice versa.
If you’re a parent, it’s almost certain your child has had at least a few “cringe” moments when it comes to what you as a parent have done in public that your child can’t bear to associate with.
General Hospital news and spoilers show fans that GH star Maurice Benard is just like the rest of us when it comes to parenting. In a recent Instagram post, Benard shared a video of himself singing in the car with his children, JJ Benard and Cassidy. He points out that Cassidy didn’t want to be shown, while JJ suffers from some serious second-hand embarrassment from dear old dad, and dips down below the car seat taking himself out of view. The look on JJ’s face is priceless!
The debate has been ongoing for years. Who is Nina’s daughter?! Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) had been searching the globe to find the child she was told she lost.
As far as Nina is concerned, the search ended when she saw that Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier) had the other half of the heart-shaped pendant she believed her long-lost daughter would possess.
From Kiki and Sasha to Willow and Nelle, the identity of Nina’s daughter has been a major mystery for a long time. Fast forward to the present day Port Charles drama, where Nina stuck it to Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) by keeping her husband Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) all to herself. Nina wanted revenge on Carly for not telling her that Belle was her daughter. She ultimately blames Carly for Nelle’s death.
General Hospital previews indicate the tides are shifting in the upcoming storyline with Nina Reeves. What if all Nina did to get back at Carly was for nothing? New or should we say old General Hospital rumors claim that Willow will end up being Nina’s real daughter.

General Hospital star Chad Duell and ex-fiancé/wife Courtney Hope made headlines last year when they two announced their Valentine’s Day engagement news.
General Hospital news reports revealed that the daytime drama stars, Duell (Michael Corinthos, GH) and Hope (Sally Spectra, B&B), had been together for about 5 years before locking their lives down with an engagement.

Besties such as Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos), Katelyn MacMullen (Willow Tait), Sofia Mattsson (Sasha Gilmore), among many more were there to help their friends celebrate.
In more recent General Hospital news, GH fans became curious when Chad and Courtney removed the photos of their “wedding” from Instagram. General Hospital spoilers reveal, in a recent episode of Maurice Benard’s State of Mind, Chad finally addressed his split from Courtney. Without going into too much detail, the GH star explained, “All I’ll say is she’s an amazing person, she’s an amazing woman, she’s an amazing dog mom.” He went on to clarify any confusion and assumptions on the topic, he disclosed, “it’s a complicated situation… but it’s not what people think.” Duell wanted to make it clear that there is no bad blood between the two of them, and both of them have not betrayed the other. He adds, “We’re still on good terms. She’s an amazing person in so many ways.” Although he sat in front of his trusted friend, Maurice Benard, it goes without saying that this interview will reach a large audience which would include Hope. He confirmed, “All I have to say is positive things. It’s just- mutual.”
General Hospital spoilers reveal Chad dropped an explosive bombshell when he admitted he and Courtney were never legally married. . “We didn’t actually sign anything,” he confirmed. “We weren’t really, like, you know, married or anything. It was amicable. That’s all I can really say. We always want the best for each other.”
The couple when their separate ways just two months after their “unofficial” wedding. We wish both Chad and Courtney all the best!
It’s a common phrase we hear often, “you can’t please them all.” Its true that no matter how hard we try, it’s impossible to please everyone all of the time. That goes for everything, but it’s important to remember that in situations which are trivial, fiction, and meant for entertainment.

He makes a point to affirm that the storylines are always about what’s best for the show and what brings in the ratings. As for now, ratings are all Benard needs to know in order to continue on and be proud of the work he and the GH cast have been doing.
