Could this be the end of an era? That’s what a lot of General Hospital fans can’t help but wonder when it comes to actor Maurice Benard, who is best known for his role as Sonny Corinthos on the hit ABC soap.
That’s because the actor strongly hinted that he is ready to leave the show to focus on other aspects in his life.
Many of his social media followers were even pretty surprised with the actor retweeted this message from another fan: “I had no idea what you were going through in not being well.”
“If you need to leave the show you need to look after you first I know GH will sadly miss your character but you really need to look after your health first. I enjoyed the chats with you and being a follower.”
Now, Maurice didn’t specify exactly what he has been going through right now, but he’s made it no secret in the past that retirement is definitely on his mind.
Back in 2022, the actor suggested that it might be time for him to take a break from work and focus on his family.
During an episode of State of Mind that year, Maurice suggested that he might be ready to leave the canvas sooner rather than later. In fact, it seems like retirement is on his mind more than anything else.
“I’m really happy right now. If you know me, you know it’s in waves how happy I am on General Hospital. Up and down, up and down,” he said.
Now, whether or not Maurice will actually pull the plug on his working relationship with General Hosptial remains to be seen. So far the actor has not made any comments about the matter just yet.
But then again, GH fans will simply have to tune in each and every day to find out what will happen next. Watch this space for more.
