Selina Wu last left Port Charles to spend time with family over seas as her portrayer stepped away from the canvas to spend time with family as well. Selina has current dealings with Port Charles mob boss, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), mutually respecting each other’s positions in the city.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Selina returns to Port Charles with a purpose. She visits an unexpected acquaintance and reveals her wishes and plans for her nephew Brad Cooper’s (Parry Shen) future.
GH rumors claim things aren’t going to stay peaceful between the Wu and The Corinthos Organization when things go south where Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell), Brad, and Wiley Corinthos (Viron Weaver) are concerned.
A grandmother is being denied her rights as a biological relative of her grandson, Wiley Corinthos. Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) is ready to take action.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) have an upcoming battle on their hands after refusing Nina permission to visit their child and her grandson Wiley.
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.
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.
Nina Reeves (Cyntia Watros) took things too far when her true self came out in her confrontation with Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen). Nina served a low blow by playing the “biological grandmother card,” threatening to use her status as Wiley’s (Viron Weaver) grandma as a manipulative tool to get her way with Willow and Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell).
General Hospital spoilers reveal Nina’s proclamation will bite her in the rear end when the storyline takes a major twist when it comes to Willow’s relationship with Nina. Not only has Nina given Willow no choice but to fight back, General Hospital rumors hint that Nina’s biological bond to Wiley is on existent after discovering that Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier) is not in fact Nina’s daughter.
Harmony Miller’s (Inga Cadrandel) secret about Willow’s biological mother will be revealed, making Nina Wiley’s adoptive grandmother as Willow is his adoptive mother. Rights as a blood related relative will fly right out the window along with her status as the young boy’s biological grandma.
Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) has been gracious to a fault when it comes to the mercy she has shown Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros).
Nina Reeves has betrayed Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and his family over and over again. Michael and Willow decided Nina wasn’t suited for visitation with her grandson Wiley Corinthos after her comments about Willow not being Wiley’s “real” mother, taking it upon herself to tell the toddler about her own daughter and Wiley’s biological mom, Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier). Time last and Willow and Michael have Nina a second chance even after Michael’s strong reluctancy.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Willow’s graciousness toward Nina is about to come to an end. Although Michael has cut Nina off completely for what she has done to his father Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), his mom Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright), and their entire family, Willow on the other hand has had a soft spot for their son’s grandmother.
Willow doesn’t know the latest between Nina and Wiley’s grandfather Sonny. GH previews suggest Willow will learn of Sonny and Nina’s night together which will change her perception of Nina altogether.
GH spoilers and rumors indicate that the story behind Nina’s long lost daughter is far from over. GH rumors have been speculating for years about how Nelle Benson is not actually Nina’s daughter, or that Nelle and Willow could be twins. The latter seems less believable, but the idea of Willow being Nina’s daughter makes total sense. Thinking back, Nelle having the other half of the heart shaped pendant means nothing in relation to Nelle being Nina’s daughter. However, the necklace belonged to Harmony Miller (Inga Cadranel) Willow’s “mom,” therefore most likely belonging to Willow herself.
GH spoilers indicate Willow will be set off by Nina after knowing she slept with Sonny. Odds are the two women will have an all out shouting match over Nina’s actions, causing Willow to retract her generosity when it comes to letting Nina into their lives through Wiley. Unbeknownst to both woman, their feud is now between mother and daughter.
GH previews and spoilers hint that Willow and Nina’s relationship will be destroyed before they even get to know each other as mother and daughter. The road to rebuilding a mother daughter bond will be long and complicated.

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.”
