General Hospital’s Maurice Benard Honors Over 3 Decades as Sonny – What Does Video Mean About Retirement?
General Hospital (GH) spoilers reveal that Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) always likes to engage with his social media followers and post positive messages. Benard’s latest one came in the form of a new video that showed him pulling up to work at the studio.
On Instagram, Benard’s video featured him jamming in his car and looking as thrilled as ever to be at work.
It’s clear that Benard has a great time bringing Sonny to life and hanging out with so many familiar faces that he’s come to adore.
Maurice Benard first joined the cast of GH back in August 1993, so he’s been playing the role of Sonny for over three decades!
Some fans have been concerned about the possibility of Benard exiting as Sonny, especially due to his current storyline and the struggles Sonny’s facing on-screen.
However, Benard shows no sign of slowing down so far.
Based on Benard’s cute video and the caption he offered, there’s no reason to think he’ll be stepping away from the part of Sonny Corinthos anytime soon.
“Over 30 years at the same job and still having fun,” Benard said. “I love the people and I love the character. And of course the loyalty of the audience. #soapopera #love #joy”
The news recently broke that Morgan Corinthos (Bryan Craig) is headed back to Port Charles for a one-episode stint that’ll air this August.
As a result, some viewers have been worried about Morgan’s spirit potentially escorting Sonny to the other side!
Although a near-death experience is certainly possible for Sonny, perhaps Morgan could convince his dad to stick around instead.
Whatever the case, Maurice Benard seems content to keep playing Sonny for now. That could change at some point, but maybe fans should hold off when it comes to any retirement panic.
Benard could have many more years at GH if he keeps loving his job this much, so stick with us for more Sonny predictions and updates on any big news that’s brewing for his character.
General Hospital spoilers Sonny will deal with some shocking feuds and wild outcomes, so stay tuned.
