Maurice Benard’s brush with death wearing a Speedo
The incredible 60 year old drama series brings us new content five days a week. Year after year we get to know the characters a little better. Moreover, technology has set the stage for fans to have a deeper look into the actors behind the roles. -Not all of the GH cast has social media profiles, but many live to engage wit the fans, giving us a glimpse. Often times we tend to associate our favorite character’s lives with the life their portray on television. Sometimes the actor and their GH role are similar, and other times they are total opposite. And there are times that it’s hard to remember that they have real or drama in addition to the role they play on our favorite show.
Maurice Benard’s Brush With Death Wearing a Speedo
General Hospital news and spoilers reveal Maurice’s recent real life drama. In their latest social media post, GH’s Maurice Benard and Evan Hofer shared a collaborative Instagram video to tell the story.
Evidently, General Hospital star Maurice Benard was swimming in the ocean when a shark approached him. Benard mentioned that he was wearing a Speedo (relevance in question. 😜) That’s when his co-star Evan Hofer (who plays Dex Heller) thought to grab a State of Mind. He said that he took off the shirt and tossed it out to Benard.
You can hear the rest of the story in Maurice and Evan’s latest IG video below.
Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) is on high alert after having been shot at in his own safe house. That place is a like a fortress, making it nearly impossible to get inside or around the premises.
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Sonny needs to be extra cautious. At this point almost everyone is a suspect in this attempted attack on Sonny’s life. But who is after him? And how do they know their way around the island?
According to recent GH recaps, Sonny and Brick consider all the possibilities as very few are exempt from suspicion. Not even those closest to Sonny’s organization at risk of exposure should anyone be hiding something from the boss. Someone who Sonny knows on a personal level has either sold out and divulged information, or is the immediate threat. Either way, it’s one person who Sonny trusts and gets burned.
Although Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) has shown his loyalty to Sonny on various occasions, he’s still a suspect in Brick’s eyes. General Hospital spoilers reveal that Brick does some digging into Heller’s past. That’s when Brick discovers Dex’s shocking secret. Do you think that Dex is capable of faking out Sonny, Michael, Josslyn and everyone else?
Sonny Corinthos’s (Maurice Benard) island as meant to be a safe place to retreat when threats a rise in Port Charles. Now it seems like nowhere is safe for the mobster and his family.
General Hospital recaps highlight Sonny and Dex’s analysis on the recent attack. That’s when Sonny put the pieces together to come to a shocking observation. The shooter was well prepared as if he knows the place from the inside out. In the past, Jason helped Sonny at times like these. His insight was always spot on, and Sonny always could depend on Jason. Thankfully, Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) seems to have what it takes to fill Jason’s shoes in the business.
An Inside Job Threatens Sonny and His Family- Can Dex and Sonny Identify the Shooter?
Shocking GH spoilers and rumors suggest the unthinkable! After Sonny and Dex went over the event they came to a realization. its quite possible that latest attack was an inside job, but who would betray Sonny like that? Recent GH news reports confirm that Steve Burton reveals that he’s back filming at Prospect Studios. Jason will return working weeks, which fans find to be very convenient timing. Could Jason Morgan return as Sonny’s enemy instead of his long lost best friend?
Nina Reeves is on fire. She asked Carly for forgiveness and was rejected, so now she plots her next revenge. Nina doesn’t take well to the word no and lashes out every time. Odds are, things won’t be any different this time.
General Hospital spoilers indicate that Nina’s blood continues to boil long after Carly tells her to stick it where the sun doesn’t shine. Nina felt she was entitled to Carly’s forgiveness even without telling the entire truth! That just goes to show you how self absorbed the new Mrs. Corinthos really is. We all know what happens when things don’t go Nina’s way. She lashes out and plots her next move against whomever she believes did her dirty. GH rumors speculate that Nina acts in true form and lashes out against Carly. This time she doesn’t go after Sonny’s ex wife directly. Instead, Nina gets to Carly through her son, Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell).
Additionally, GH rumors test that Nina takes Dex down right along with Michael. Michael and Sonny have recently reconnected after their fallout OVER NINA. She continues to exist as the root of their problems because she won’t leave well enough alone. Recent GH spoilers tease that Nina’s anger causes her to throw Michael and Dex under the bus.
What will Sonny do if he finds out that Micheal and Dex have betrayed him in the worst way?
A mystery man walked into Kelly’s and charmed the poly gloves right off of Carly [Corinthos] Spencer (Laura Wright). He was attentive, observant, generous, and ostensibly kind. Those all sound like lovely qualities for anyone to possess, but Carly soon finds out that she’s been lead up the gardens path.
Whether or not Pikeman (Charles Mesure) knew exactly who Carly was, or if he just got lucky, their encounter is the beginning of something big. Sonny just told Pikeman’s employee that he refuses to allow any more shipments until he gets his answer. Things don’t end well after that meeting and now Sonny may have made matters worse. Thankfully, Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) has been on his A-game lately, proving that he is just as valuable as say, Jason Morgan😉.
Pikeman Brings Sonny and Carly Back Together
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Carly’s run-in with Pikeman leads to another path. Ultimately, the one that brings her back to Sonny. Most likely, Pikeman sought out Carly on purpose. This way he can feel out the situation and use her to get to Sonny.
According to the latest GH rumors, the dangers and risks brought upon by Sonny’s business come creeping in again. The safety of Port Charles is compromised due to the current mob activity between Sonny and Pikeman. Thankfully, years of experience has Carly hopping on to old tricks like reducing a bicycle. She’s capable of holding her own but also has the experience to help Sonny; all while still needing Sonny’s protection.
It’s inevitable. Sonny and Carly are destined to be together and Pikeman is just the man for the job. GH spoilers and rumors tease that mob violence is an aphrodisiac for this couple. LOL Just kidding. But honestly, the familiar danger is rumored to bring Sonny and Carly back together.
Of all the things that Nina has done, I can’t even recall whether she’s gone down the blackmail road yet or not. That woman has manipulated and lied using many different tactics, so it’s unclear what she has and hasn’t done to get her way.
Over the last few years, the social climate surrounding some prominent Port Charles residents has changed. For one, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Carly’s divorce became the catalyst for the seemingly permanent changes that followed the ordeal. Whether or not you like the fact that Sonny and Carly are the main focus, indeed they are. So it only makes sense that their breakup would create a ripple effect of changes throughout their family and the community.
Blackmail Isn’t Beneath Her
But GH recaps recall that before their divorce, Sonny was presumed dead. Clearly, his life choices lead to a life of danger and risk, but Carly and his family were always by his side. That is until Nina found Sonny vulnerable, and without recollection of his wife and family.
In Nixon Falls, a broken man washed up, was found and taken to shelter. And we all know the rest! Nina’s selfish decision to keep Sonny all to herself adversely effected so many. Moreover, she did it all to get revenge on Sonny’s wife, who happens to be her grandson’s other grandmother. On top of all that, Nina deceived her own grandson’s grandfather when she lied to everyone.
How low can she go? Well, it looks like Nina’s secrets just keep piling on. Currently, she hides her involvement in Drew’s stay in Pentonville. That one selfish decision has harmed so many in the process, not just her intended target, Carly. Despite what Drew is going through, Nina has yet to come clean to Sonny or anyone else. Additionally, Sonny had to implement a setup for the FBI after Nina’s SEC tip peaked curiosity. The Corinthos Organization has been scrutinized for decades and Nina added fuel to the fire.
Nina Discovers Michael’s Plan Against Sonny
According to General Hospital spoilers and rumors, Nina stops even lower. Back before Nina ever gamed an amnesiac, there was no “Mike,” and Sonny had a close relationship with his children. Then, Nina drove a wedge between Sonny and Michael (Chad Duell). Their relationship took a dive over Sonny’s feelings for Nina. Then, when arguments spiraled out of control, Michael turned on his father.
GH spoilers tease that Nina comes between Sonny and Michael again, just they slowly begin build back their relationship. In the wonderful world of Soap Opera Land, there’s no such thing as a well-kept secret. In fact, I’m convinced that statement doesn’t even hold up on the real world as secret always fine a way to come out. So if you think that there’s no evidence from Michael’s plans, you’re most likely mistaken.
Since Dex said he destroyed only incriminating evidence against Sonny, then we should assume all is good, right? Think again! GH rumors hint that there is another copy out there. It’s possible that Dex kept one for his own personal reasons, or someone could have gotten their hands on the original. The point is, anything is possible. Or Nina could find out about Michael’s plan on a complete different way. Still, GH spoilers tease that Nina blackmails Michael over Sonny and her findings.
It starts. The bond between Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Dex Heller (Evan Hofer) starts now. For Dex, that bond likely already started the night Sonny invited him to sit down for some pasta. That’s when Dex really saw another side of Sonny. Suddenly, things looked differently to Dex ever since he realized that Sonny has a genuine heart.
According to GH recaps, Sonny made a comment to Dex. It was in the heat of their Pikeman conversation when Sonny verbally expressed that he was impressed by Dex. First, he asked for Dex’s input on the Pikeman situation which lead to his impeccable attention to detail. Then, Sonny was pleased at how through Dex’s thought process was. He said, “Damn. Turned you on and you just go.”
It seems to me that Sonny is starting to notice little things about Dex. And sooner than later he begins to realize something. According to GH spoilers, Dex reminds Sonny of Jason. He begins to notice similarities between his new enforcer and his life-long friend.
Previously, General Hospital rumors made claims that Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is Dex’s father. However, the rumor began gaining more credibility once GH casting rumors claim that Steve could be headed back to General Hospital. How long before Sonny puts the pieces together and figures out that Dex is Jason’s son?
Dex replaces Jason with Sonny?! Sonny Corinthos is so many things to so many people. His loyalty extends to those who equally practice and display the same loyalty. If you’re in a position to mean something to Sonny and vice versa, then consider yourself lucky.
Evidently, Sonny makes such an impression that even some of his enemies end up as friends and more. One enemy in particular is Dex Heller (Evan Hofer). The junior gangster was born for this position, quite literally. When Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) found Dex, they were both sure they would bring Sonny down. Hence, Dex was once Sonny’s secret enemy. But despite his initial intentions, Dex spills his true feelings.
General Hospital recaps revisit Dex’s confession as he tells Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) what a Sonny now means to him. He explained, “I’ve never had anyone in my life like him. I just feel like he’s taught me so much about what it means to be a man.” Immediately, this scene bright fans to social media platforms with buzz about Dex and Sonny. According to the latest GH rumors, Dex had a deeper reason for wanting coming Port Charles. As it turns out, working for Michael wasn’t just for Michael’s benefit in his quest to destroy his father. Instead, taking the job was a means to an end for Dex.
Dex Replaces Jason with Sonny
Previously, speculation about Dex’s connections pointed straight to Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). Since Maurice Benard revealed that he’s done with Sonny having kids, some fans finally jumped off the. bandwagon that claims Dex is Sonny’s son. However, Jason is another story. Dex just admitted he’s never had a father figure. And just as GH Blog predicted, Dex longed for that connection. Odds are he came to PC to get revenge on the man who (unknowingly) took his father away.
See, GH rumors claim that Dex grew up without a father and it’s possible his mother told him that Jason chose mob life over fatherhood. So he came to PC for answers and revenge. But he never imagined he’d find what he was always looking for. A father figure.
Are Dex and Betty Sonny and Brenda’s kids?! …Let’s be honest, Vanessa Marcil as General Hospital’s feisty Brenda Barrett is an icon. If you’re a GH fan then you know the impact Marcil’s role has had on the show. Therefore, there isn’t a period of time when GH fans don’t hope for her to return.
Meanwhile, Brenda’s popularity has fans hanging on to hope for decades, especially with it comes to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). Of course, Brenda Barrett is a force on her own. Whether she’s single or paired with one of Port Charles’s most powerful men, Brenda can hold her own. Die hard Sonny and Brenda fans keep the faith when it comes to those two reuniting.
According to recent GH spoilers and rumors Dex and Betty could be working together. For the full story, click HERE. Due to these recent rumors, GH fans speculate that there’s much more to Betty (Ella Lentini) and Dex (Evan Hofer) than meets the eye. Additionally, GH rumors surrounding Brenda’s return raise questions. For months, fans have wondered where Dex comes from and who is biological parents are. From Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) to Sonny Corinthos, fans continue to guess who Dex’s father is.
That being said, some GH rumors tease that Dex is Sonny and Brenda’s son. So, in the light of the newest GH rumors, some wonder if Dex and Betty are twins who are after their father. And their mother… is none other than Brenda Barrett! What do you think? Could these two sneaky cats be in Port Charles to take Sonny down?!
Who is Betty on GH (Ella Lentini)? …All of a sudden Betty swept in like a Detroit Red Wings 1997 Stanley Cup Win! Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Port Charles knew nothing of Betty before she arrived in town. Suddenly, her name consumes his conversations.
General Hospital Recaps: Sonny takes over for Ava Jerome (Maura West). Ava came to Sonny with a big problem. That’s when she explained to Sonny that she killed Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma/Adam Huss/TBD) and Mason Gatlin (Nathanyael Grey) was threatening their daughter Avery (Ava and Grace Scarola). Expectedly, Sonny told Ava he’d handle things. Betty Rutherford entered their lives and she’s about to turn their world upside down.
According to GH spoilers and rumors, there’s more to know about Betty! Is she really just a plant to get information on Sonny and Pikeman? Or does she have an agenda of her own?
