General Hospital Spoilers: Kristen Vaganos Opens Up About Working With Maurice Benard And Maura West
The actress recently opened up about what it’s like to work with her co-stars in a new interview with Soap Opera Digest.
Kristen said that working with Maurice, who plays her uncle Sonny Corinthos on the hit ABC soap, was a blast.
The actress put it this way, “It was so fun to read that in the script because it almost feels like you’ve got to earn the right to yell at Maurice [Benard, Sonny], to yell at Sonny. Like he is the guy!”
“And so to take out the frustration that Molly has been feeling at everybody on him was so fun and such an epic moment.”
“The way that it was written, I really loved, because it was powerful, just unleashing this anger, and he doesn’t even really respond or fight back, you know?”
Kristen also had nothing but words of praise for the wonderful Maura West, who plays Ava Jerome in Port Charles.
The actress said, “She’s going through so much as this character right now, but I gotta say, my heart, like, snapped in pieces when I read the scenes that she and I did together because how brutal, to literally just read her the autopsy of a dead infant and force her to sit with that.”
“It was so wild to perform those scenes and just try to be strong throughout them because I think Molly did not want to be emotional in that moment. She did not want to be sad.”

“She wanted to be strong and force this woman to hear her out and Ava was pleading with me to stop and I just won’t. I have a lot of respect and appreciation for Maura for just sticking through that and suffering through me reading this to her because it’s brutal, man.”
