Happy Anniversary Maurice Benard!

The legendary actor, Maurice Benard and his phenomenal character, Sonny Corinthos is celebrating 20 years at General Hospital!

General Hospital Blog would like to thank Maurice for all his hard work and dedication to the American classic soap opera. The longest running Daytime Soap Opera, General Hospital, wouldn’t be what it is today without this amazing actor and his portrayal of Mob Boss/family man, Sonny Corinthos.

We love to be entertained by his multifaceted acting abilities and will take whatever GH will throw at us as long as Sonny is involved.

Congratulations Maurice! To many, many more!

Happy 20 years!

Will There be a Sonny, Connie, and Olivia Love Triangle?

Connie has been noticeably jealous when it comes to Sonny and Olivia’s relationship and connection. They have a long history and are connected by their son, Dante. Lately Olivia has been day dreaming about times with Sonny and small gestures that make her feel close to him. Today on General Hospital, Connie and Olivia disclose their feelings regarding Sonny. Will this end up being an ugly love triangle between the old Bensonhurst crew? Or will either women surrender and let the other have him?

Who REALLY Shot Olivia?

Everyone believes that Carly set the hit in motion to have Shawn shoot Franco. Sonny and Dante are furious, Shawn and Carly are overcome with guilt, and Franco is relieved to be alive. But was the bullet really meant for Franco? There was another shooter and the target wasn’t Franco… Someone is gunning for Olivia (literally)! Is Connie next? But who? Why? Tune in to General Hospital tomorrow, Monday, June 24th for the big reveal!

Will Olivia Survive?

Everyone in Port Charles is pulling for Olivia to make it through. Some with genuine love, and others with a combination of  true emotion and personal benefit. A lot is riding on Olivia’s fate. Will she survive? If she dies, Shawn has to live with what he has done, Carly may meet her demise, Dante loses a Mother, and Connie loses her cousin and best friend.

Brenda Leaves Port Charles

Brenda and Sonny are one of the most memorable and loved couples in soap history. Their on-again off-again heated love story has had fans devoted for over 20 years. This couple has it all. Stunning good looks, romance, drama, love/hate, and an indescribable connection that will forever keep these two drawn to one another. They have been through it all, the good, the bad, the amazing, and the horrifying and no matter what happens, they still remain in each other’s lives. Yesterday, Brenda didn’t want to say goodbye, instead they said, “Until next time.” Brenda has left Port Charles once again but keeps an open door for Sonny to walk back into her life.

Do you think Sonny and Brenda are destined to be together? Is there still hope for them, or should they leave their love in the past?

Michael Fairman Interviews Steve Burton

This Michael Fairman interview with Steve Burton is absolutely amazing. All the questions the fans have been asking since Steve left General Hospital have finally been answered. Many fans are disgruntled, confused, and even angry at what they THINK the facts are related to the entire situation. From Steve leaving GH to move to Tennessee, to then returning to soaps by joining The Young and The Restless, to the way Jason was written off; fans thought the worst of Steve and/or ABC. I sure hope ALL General Hospital and Steve Burton fans read this interview.
The rumors about Steve plotting to go to Y&R all along, or the executives at GH not offering Burton a compromise are untrue. Steve Burton also explains that Jason’s send off was due to lack of time. Time was running out and the writing team had to come up with something. It would be really great to stop reading such negativity from fans who think Steve was untruthful or that ABC just didn’t care enough to keep him. That is entirely not the case. In the interview, Michael asks Steve about the day he left. Steve explains how difficult it was emotionally and mentions that it was very hard on Maurice Benard (Sonny). This actually brought tears to my eyes. He also mentioned that it was very difficult leaving Kelly Monaco Sam), and that it is still weird not being able to see her everyday.
Michael Fairman also asked Steve if there were plans for Jason’s return to GH for the anniversary show. Steve Burton expressed that he would love to come back for the 50th, but since he is now on CBS he is not sure if that will be allowed. All this being out it the open, I hope fans and Steve Burton have closure now in regards to what really happened during and after the time of his exit. After all thins said and done, Steve did what was best for his family and his life.

Maurice Benard’s New Film: ‘The Ghost and the Whale’ Trailer

Hi all! I know I don’t typically post about outside projects or what the actors are doing in their personal lives, (except Kelly Monaco and DWTS), but I felt that Maurice’s  amazing work should be recognized. Not only is he a General Hospital vet who we can’t imagine the show without, his talents exceed more than what we see every day at 2PM. It’s apparent in his work that he is an extremely talented actor. His multifaceted artistic talents never cease to amaze. Now GH’s favorite mobster, Sonny Corinthos, played by Maurice Benard, is stepping into a new role in a film called “The Ghost and the Whale.” We are very excited to get to see him in another project along with his work on General Hospital. Check out the 30 second trailer of the film!
