GH/ Maurice Benard as Sonny CorinthosMaurice Benard Reflects On His Journey As Sonny On General Hospital

General Hospital fans have often worried and wondered if that time could be around the corner. In October 2023, Maurice Benard opened up about playing Sonny for 30 long years. He reflected that when a character goes on for a long time, it is important that it grows and evolves with time. And he feels that’s exactly what he has tried to do with Sonny. “I play what they give me to the best of my ability; that’s basically my job to convey what the characters are going through at every moment,” he mused.

Furthermore, the General Hospital megastar admitted that he loved playing Mike on the soap. However, not many fans were on board with the whole Mike and Nixon Falls chapter in Sonny’s life. But at least it gave Maurice something different to enact than what he had been doing for a long stretch. In fact, he replied to fans on X (Twitter), saying that he feels hopeful about what’s coming for Sonny on GH. Thus, it seems that he will be around for a while longer.
