General Hospital’s Maurice Benard Defends Sonny Going Postal, “It Could Definitely Happen”

Last Friday’s May 17th cliffhanger of General Hospital saw Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) beating up Dex (Evan Hofer) and threatening to shoot and kill both Dex and Jason (Steve Burton), who is restraining him outside the ballroom at the wedding reception of Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard).

For months, Sonny has been taking less than his prescribed dosage of medication to control his bipolar disorder.  The mobster has no idea that he has been duped by Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), who is the one that set this dangerous situation in motion, in an effort to eliminate Sonny and eventually Jason from interfering in Pikeman taking over the territory.

One fan questioned the validity of Sonny’s reaction to Dex and Jason after the pei, when he took to X and expressed, “People off their medications don’t necessarily go around hitting people and being out of control. This was the WRONG message to send. I don’t expect anything from Frank Valentini and General Hospital anymore, but you could’ve (and should’ve) stopped it cold.”

Maurice Benard replied back to that comment and defended the actions of Sonny given the circumstances. The three-time Daytime Emmy-winner shared, “This is true but when you have a character like Sonny who’s volatile and is drinking and is manic and his thoughts are taken him over it could definitely happen like I said, ‘bipolar ain’t pretty.”‘

GH has portrayed Sonny’s battle with mental illness and the importance of keeping on your meds, plus the issues surrounding it for years. However, some fans have not been pleased by this latest plot point.

The pick-up of the story begins tomorrow on Monday, May 20th where teasers for the episode share: Sonny is horrified. Blaze consoles Kristina (who walked in on her dad threatening Jason and Dex) and Jason summons Carly.

So, what did you think of the plot point of Sonny threatening to kill Dex and Jason, after beating up Dex, given his growing paranoia? Comment below.

That’s like Laura Wrighteous defending the fact Snarly can run a hotel, run a diner, run a restaurant, and also be a butcher, baker and candlestick maker. Their egos need to be fed, and as long as they are given scenes to chew the scenery, they are happy.

It’s offensive to portray people off their medication as being completely out of control maniacs. They could’ve had Sonny do the same story without ever bringing his meds into it.

On the other horn at least the med tampering explains the sudden change in Sonny’s character. What’s the excuse for the sudden changes in Laura, Anna, Ava, TJ and others?? Are they all on pharmaceuticals that have been tampered with too? Or did they all have cobalt hip replacements like Psycho Heather, maybe?

I don’t like this story line

I feel like Sonny is getting a bum deal. I don’t like the way GH is going and I want to see Sonny get the help he needs. The writers are dragging out the story. I’m glad Jason is back and hope he will rescue Sonny and they will be friends again. Please STOP dragging out the story .
When will Mac find out about his son?

Hate the new writing.

I hope Sonny comes to the realization that his behavor is erratic and something is not right, especially knowing Kristina witnessed his attack on Dex. I wish he would ask Dante for help.

Sonny will continue to becoming more erratic, more paranoid the longer he takes a reduced dosage of meds. Hopefully someone who is on Sonny’s side will find out and help him. Ava surely doesn’t care to get him the help he needs.

Ava needs to get caught

I think some fans are missing mos point entirely some bi polar people either off their meds or lessened meds are like this he never said all.people shouldn’t confront him on it.if some can’t handle the reality of it then don’t watch but stop hasling him about it

If Sonny has such good security, how did Valentin get to his medication? Is Ava part of this? She did the same to Morgan. Don’t Carly and Sonny remember what Ava did to Morgan?

It can happen. I have a cousin who is a schizophrenia and uses drugs. When he doesn’t take his medication. He’s violent. Even my aunt who was his mother was scared of him. So yes someone who has issues and doesn’t take their medication can become violent

End this stupid idea someone has screwed up Sonny’s meds. It’s old and was done before!!
Give Ava another life. This is old as well!

I think that sonny will realize that Jason is trying to help him. Not hurt him and they become partners again.

The best scenes were Jason holding back Spinelli’s attempted hugs

I don’t like the storyline of Sonny’s manic behavior. Writers step it up, you’re wasting talent.

I just hope that Mayor Collins gives Sonny the same consideration that she is trying to give serial killer Heather, due to her cobalt poisoning, and also the way that she looked the other way when Charlotte terrorized Anna, and broke into her home!

Wonder what it would be like if Sonny got beat up and went to jail.

Just as some heart and intention was being put back into General Hospital we lost it with the exit of Patrick Mulcahey. Huge mistake.

Not taking the meds send a bipolar patient either into a devastating and dangerous depression or into a manic episode that brings out personality traits the medicine helps to control. Whether it be gambling , sex, violence or doing things that are a danger to themselves or others is absolutely probable.

That’s exactly right

Sonny is Sonny on this I expected it to be just this way. His enforcement is not much in play at the moment. When and who is going to out Ava? We know this is going to play out she is the one with the pharmacist shorting Sonny’s meds. At this point Anna needs to tell Carly what is going on with Jason.

I liked the Jason/Spinelli scene. I had to rewind a couple times to really see what Jason was doing with his hand. Jason is so standoffish, it was a very funny scene.

Bipolar is no joke.People with that illeness are dangerous.

UNMEDICATED… sometimes. Medicated…nope.

I really enjoyed Brook Lynn and Chase’s wedding. It was nice to see so much of the cast on screen together, everyone looked good, the sets looked good. It was novel to see a wedding in Port Charles go off without a hitch for once, minus Gregory’s incident.

And btw, since they’re re-writing so many things, characters not acting like themselves, people changing jobs left and right, Heather a sympathetic character, can we please have it come out that Gregory’s ALS was a misdiagnosis? Tracy talking him out of his freeze up was touching. They found something with Gregory and Tracy.

But the Sonny beatdown of Dex, I didn’t like that scene at all. Maurice couldn’t have been phoning it in any more if he was doing the scene from a phone booth. I’m dating myself with a phone booth reference, lol.

His supposed beating of Dex, even his line about killing Jason and Dex, that he was gonna put a gun in their face, whatever it was, it came across so half-hearted and lackluster to me. Which makes me think that contrary to his public statements, which are probably him trying to make lemonade from the lemons he’s been given, Maurice isn’t buying into this story. Just my opinion, of course.

I loved the wedding!!!

I think Gregory will not wake up unfortunately. Kleenex ready.

Hope he wakes up. Not on his sons wedding day! Please!

They need to get on with it. His mental problem need to be revealed

Ava knows Sonny’s meds h a s been tampered with and she knows that Sonny should not be drinking she needs to be caught. Very sad she lowered Morgan’s meds don’t quit understand how she got away with it

I think it’s horrible that this show is dragging poor Sonny soo long through this horrible situation. Of all the so called intelligent characters on G.H. no one has really reached out to help him. It’s discusting and shameful. Please someone step up and take actuon to help him. I hate that everyone has turned Against him, know whats wrong but does not fight to help him. Ava is being mean and cruel right now, playing this dangerous game with Sonny. As a big fan of this show, please get him the help he desperately needs, like yesterday. Enough of the cruelty. ☹️

Carly did figure it out. She told him to get his blood drawn so doctors could adjust his meds. He was gonna do it to prove to Carly he was taking his meds. Ava talked him out of it. Ava needs to go. Never liked her character any more than Nina.

Carly told him she doesn’t trust him being around Donna as long as he’s acting this way. That should’ve made him get help which would’ve enlightened him.

Sonny pushes education on bi polar so I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s prompting this story line, but I too, have had enough of it.

I’m loving how Sonny is playing out! He’s a mob boss! Time to show what got him that top position of the 5 families when he didn’t have meds. I want Alexis’ first case to get him out of it.

You make a good point, especially when his so-called other friends, Anna and Laura have turned against him. I’m not a Carly fan, but I don’t see her turning her back on him, or Olivia either.

This needs to wrap up.

Ava should get in trouble for not letting sonny & other people in his family know she discovered that something was off with sonny’s. Medication & I know most all type of medicine for mental illness has warnings against having alcohol as it can interfere with medication also any other illegal drugs like pot can be very much more problems I’ve seen very scary things happen with a person not being on medicine & they are acting out of their minds. So the story with sonny could very well be true & general hospital should say at end if you know anyone who suffers any kind of mental health issues give a # that people can call & to avoid alcohol abuse ad well. These warning signs could save someone’s life.

I get that Sonny is off his meds but everyone he has helped has gone against him. Carley is even taking Donna away.I like Anna but she a crook too. Joylsen got too big for her pants. I don’t like Nina, glad Sony is away from her

In reality Sonny, the actor, does have bi polar. He is there on the set and knows the writers. All mental illnesses have degrees. Life situations also alter the success of the medications. Let the experts in this do what they do and know.
If anyone has a mental disease and takes meds, it doesn’t mean that serious life issues cannot occur.

I’ve been reading through these comments and some of them are right on the money. All of a sudden Anna and Laura are completely against Sonny after all he has done for them over the years most especially Anna. Green line makes no sense. The writers are wasting the viewers time. We are much smarter than that. I can’t seem to like Carly anymore. They’ve written her to be very self-righteous. She committed a crime that Drew went to prison for but yet she has gotten back everything she ever wanted. She is the one that actually ruined Nina‘s life not vice versa. The writers tend to think we forgotten that, she kept the identity of Nina‘s daughters away from her. That isn’t unforgivable sin that a lot of Nina‘s actions in motion. I really liked Nina and Sonny together. Nina brought out the soft side Sonny and she really loved him deeply. Now Nina has given the restaurant back to Carly. Thanks to Carly there is really nothing Nina can do to make Sunny love her again as long as Carlys in the picture.

I love the actress that Sonny took to the wedding but PLEASE DONT make her Sonny’s new love interest. They do not vibe. There’s no chemistry there. Please find a way to put Sonny and Nina back together. Maybe Nina could take a bullet for Sonny and almost die. It seems like that’s the only way you can become Sonny‘s friend. That would really grind on Carly and it’s something that Carly deserves. Carly shouldn’t get her way all of the time.

Marlene, I don’t like this story line that’s playing out, but I definitely and respectfully don’t like any of your suggestions either.

I’m not sure how long you’ve been watching GH but Carly has always been a self-righteous, vindictive, selfish, vicious person. Fans of Carly think she’s “changed” from her younger years. She hasn’t. Not even a little. The only difference is they love her “mama bear” protective side as IF all the characters on the show didn’t have one. If Carly had gone after Willow years ago, if she thought Willow was unduly blaming Avery or Donna for something they didn’t do, Carly fans would have cheered and said “I love how protective she is over her family.” But Nina? When she lashed out at Willow for Charlotte, whom she loved like a daughter, Carly fans STILL use that little story arc to rationalize that Nina was “always mean to Willow.” LOL… Of course she hasn’t been; that was one time when Willow was new to town, no one knew her, and Nina thought Charlotte was being picked on by the new teacher..

The entire battle between Carly and Nina began with Carly. She took it upon herself to decided Nina would never know that Nelle had been her daughter and with that decision she decided to deprive Nina of her grandson, Wiley. And Carly never paid for that; wasn’t even called out for that. She THEN decides to repeat that same despicable behavior, steals Nina’s DNA, and decides Nina will once again not know about her child, this time a child that is alive. But Carly fans once again give Carly an excuse, all of them hilarious: “Willow doesn’t like Nina She wouldn’t want to know” Or (and this one was the best) “Carly was honoring Harmony’s wishes.” I mean, who wouldn’t want to honor a murderer’s wishes? She only killed Neal and his brother, tried to kill Alexis and Carly, locked Carly in a trunk (that part I have to thank Harmony for), lied to Willow her whole life and drugged her so that Shiloh could rape her. But Carly listened to Harmony’s “dire” warning: “Don’t tell Nina; she’ll smother Willow with LOVE.” LOLOLOLOLOL!

Point is, yes, the fact that smug-mug Carly never pays is one of the worst aspects of the show. It’s always been written in a very one-sided way. She hounded AJ his entire life, took Michael from him for life, and the show never righted that wrong until Carlivati took over and Michael FINALLY had a relationship with his father, which was undone when Carlivateiand Sean Kanan (AJ) had a falling out & the story was reversed once again, and Michael not only never mentions AJ, the father he grew to love, but he took back the Corinthos name, passing on the name of the man who murdered his father to his children.

Carly AND Sonny have gotten away with everything. The way this new writer had Laura and Anna turn on a dime after decades of looking the other was absurd. The writer didn’t pace his stories; you don’t turn everything and every character upside down in days to weeks (felt like hours). Maurice though, is knocking it out of the park. He’s truly conveying a broken man; I feel for him even though I detest Sonny. But I WISH instead the writers would have had people turn against Carly. It’s CARLY who is the one who wears smug on her face; who has hurt others so completely, and not only doesn’t pay but instead gets her arse kissed. It’s insane how many decades this has gone on. The fact that she’s STILL smug to Nina’s face and Nina still has scenes where she’s still apologizing to Carly is revolting. They need to give Nina back some of the fire that Michelle Stafford’s Nina had; not crazy fire, but pride and take no sh-t. It’s also crazy that the writers continue to keep Nina from having a close relationship with her daughter, as if a 20-year coma, her children taken from her, Nelle dead, conned by Sasha, inability to have more children, Carly’s double deceit, wasn’t enough. Let’s just make her wait even longer, so maybe on her death bed Willow will honor her by holding her hand. UGH.

That he wouldn’t kill Dex! I was Horrified just as Joss would have seen it all!! I’m 81 been a fan 52 yrs please adjust his meds cuz his whole family is starting to get àffected. Some fans can take it some cant.Its good info, but for me it could have taken place @ the gym or pier! Cuz the wedding was Beautiful & Chases dad made it through!

Don’t like it. Story lines are too long. Frank wrap it up.

Sonny is a criminal and should be treated as one. But so should Carly and , Jason, The most annoying part of the show is the super sanctimonious Carly, Willow, Michael , Diane acting like heroes! It is not called Godfather, it is General Hospital! Also, the increasing clan from Bensonhurst and Gregory and family are plain BORING! Please put them on the back burner. Besides GH, focus should be on Cassadines, Courtemains, Nina, Drew, Maxie, Ava, Sasha, Scotty, and all others who are actually trained for their jobs!

GH put Dimples back on his medicine and How can Laura defend her brother and that crazy wedder lady her brother kill plenty and Heather Wedder As much as Dimples did for her And Anna needs sit down and shut up about Dimples
I’m going stop watching GH
Leaving Dimples and Jason alone that why GH is top soap because Dimples, Carly and Jason

It’s absolutely possible for people with Bipolar disorder to loose control, get violent and do things they wouldn’t otherwise do when off their meds. My son is Bipolar and off his meds. One day I asked him why he felt the need to lie and disrespect me, and his eyes darkened and proceeded to beat me up like Sonny beat Dex. So yeah, it’s a real thing.

There are two types of bipolar. One is lashing out at others. The second is that they hurt themselves. If they aren’t getting proper medication and taking said medications. Someone I love more than life is bipolar so I’m very familiar with it. Glad it’s being covered on the show. Mental illness still has a very bad stigma attached.

I am glad this was seen by the viewers. Bipolar is no joke. If someone is off their meds and drinking it is not pretty. It is very scary for the people around the person.
Sonny in real life has bi-polar and is showing us what can happen.
Keep up the great work General Hospital.9

Why doesn’t carly realize that sonny is off his medication. Especially when Morgan went off his because of ava. I know it’s not ava. But come on…..

Carly had the first idea that he was off his meds, but he’s not. Only Ava knows his meds are being compromised; however, she doesn’t know by whom or why. She has her own agenda. She was gonna move out, but weaseled her ŵay into staying.

They need a way to redeem Sonny after this. The whole world has turned their backs on him or he’s turned his. I think he needs some time in lock up. Maybe give Maurice a vacation & the audience. Then have a realistic (for soaps) time-line redemption arc. The audience does need some time away from certain characters at times. Sonny just seems to be getting on people’s nerves.

Oh puuullease. Sonny torture Dex, even when he was on his medication. He needs to be arrested and held accountable for his actions, whether he is taking his meds or not

Folks say it with me lazy writing. How many times do have to rehash storyline. It’s been done over and over the plot is going nowhere. And yes it does send a bad message but it’s television.

This certainly can happen when someone with bipolar illness is not taking their therapeutic dose of appropriate meds. That pharmacist is playing with fire and if/when his dangerous action is discovered, he will be legally liable for Sonny’s manic state. The writers are portraying a true to life effect of how not being properly medicated can result in someone with bipolar disorder exhibiting paranoid, violent behaviors.

He right depends how bad it is I have the same problem and I have been to his point

Michael, I have mad respect for you, but the “going postal” description in your headline is demeaning to those suffering from Mental Illness and as a person with Bipolar Disorder, this obvious Emmy bait storyline for Maurice does not portray mental illness in the best light, is terribly exploitive, nor gives it any hope who suffer from this disease.

For those of you too young to remember or weren’t born yet, the:going postal refers to a postal worker who killed several of his co-workers at a post office several years ago.

It really is time for Sonny and General Mobsters storylines to go away. If that’s they’ve all they have left for Maurice to do, it’s time for Mo to go.

General Hospital

On the Thursday, November 12 episode of General Hospital, as battles line are drawn by Carly’s (Laura Wright) ex-husband, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and her daughter, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), she realizes things are about to get a whole lot worse, and she expressed her fears to Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).

After Sonny came to see Carly to get her daughter to back off of him; especially when Josslyn lit into him in front of nuAvery (Ayla Bullington), Carly is terrified that Sonny could retaliate against Josslyn. Realizing, Josslyn is in danger, Carly won’t sit by and let anything happen to her. She tells Valentin, “I’ve already lost one kid because of that man. I won’t lose another.”

Viewers won’t soon forget the devastation Carly felt when Morgan (Bryan Craig) died in a car bomb explosion back in 2016 because of Sonny’s dealings in the mob in a complex story involving Julian (William deVry) and Olivia Jerome (Tonja Walker).

SONNY IS READY FOR WAR

Meanwhile in the aftermath of his visit with Carly, Sonny told his brother Ric what went down when Josslyn disrespected him in front of his own daughter and hurt Avery. Since Josslyn already make it known that she no longer considers herself part of Sonny’s family, he’s decided to treat her accordingly.

Sonnys first step in payback is to take away her support system at JJE by approaching Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) again, but this time in a much less-friendly way.

Ric points out that this would go against every move Sonny made as a legitimate businessman in Port Charles and would mean he’s back in the mob? Sonny doubles down, saying Josslyn changed the game when she involved Avery. While he showed concern of how bad Carly would feel over all this year, he said he is ready to finish what Josslyn started.

At the Metro Court, Ava (Maura West) is listening to Avery explain what happened between Sonny and Josslyn and how much she hates Josslyn right now, which Ava seems to be OK with.

WILL JOSSLYN’S WORLD BLOW UP ON HER?

Speaking of Josslyn, she is on the pier still after her talk with Hudson and still crying over her confrontation with Sonny and Avery overhearing it, and what she told her sister. Lucas comes across her at the pier while out for his run.

Explaining how badly she feels for what she said about Sonny to Avery, Lucas says that eventually Avery will discover the truth about Sonny. He explains to Josslyn that even though Avery hates her now, she will come to realize that what she said about her father was the truth, and that Josslyn was not lying to her at all.

So, what do you think about Sonny ready to play dirty to take down Josslyn? How will Carly ensure her daughter does not wind up dead? Who do you think is in the right here? Is Josslyn’s vendetta against Sonny justified, at the cost of the relationships with her family? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.

RATINGS: ‘Beyond the Gates’ Inches Closer to ‘General Hospital’ in Total Viewers

Published

By

Beyond the Gates and General Hospital

The latest ratings are out for the week of October 26-30, 2026 and the big takeaways include: that CBS daytime’s Beyond the Gates was separated by only 23,000 viewers behind third place (of the soaps) General Hospital! For the last several weeks, Beyond the Gates has been closing the gap on this year’s winner for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series, and continuing to best GH in the key demos.

According to the latest Nielsen ratings breakdown from Soap Opera Network, the final week of October brought Beyond the Gates 1.790 million on average tuning-in and the show set a season high in total viewers. Meanwhile, General Hospital hit a new season low! The long-running ABC soap had 1.813 million for the week, and once again the series did not go over the 2 million mark.

Meanwhile, in the key Women 18-49 demo, Beyond the Gates was firmly ahead of GH with a rating share of 0.21, while General Hospital had 0.17 rating share.Then, in the key Women 25-54 demo, Beyond the Gates was once again ahead of the ABC soap with a ratings share for that demo at 0.30 while GH came in with 0.26.

MORE BY THE NUMBERS

In addition and comparatively, Beyond the Gates +22,000 viewers week-to-week, and had the largest gains in viewership year-to-year in daytime TV with +267,000 from this in 2025.. However, General Hospital seems to be going in reverse. The show was down -56,000 viewers week-over-week and down -22,000 year-over-year .

BEYOND THE GATES

Let’s take a look at some of the storylines that had people tuning-in to Beyond the Gates during the ratings week:

Hayley (Marquita Goings) attempted a massive shocker regarding her pregnancy and tried to use it to extract money from Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett). Although, Bill saw right through her game, he demanded a paternity test, and made it clear he has no intention of raising the child—planning instead to pay her off to take the baby and leave. Meanwhile, Hayley confided her plan to her cousin Randy (Maurice P. Kerry).

Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) and Naomi Hamilton (Arielle Prepetit) clashed over Jacob’s ongoing investigation into The Impaler, causing significant strain in their marriage. At the same time, Smitty (Mike Manning) considered taking matters into his own hands—including potentially heading to Mexico for evidence—while Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) worried about what comes next.

GENERAL HOSPITAL

Over at General Hospital for the ratings period, the story served up included:

Carly (Laura Wright) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) teamed up to investigate what really happened to Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). Later, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) leads them to Jack’s dead body.

Jude (Wil Traval) dropped a bombshell claim to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn); that he is Phoebe’s father, while Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) signed their divorce papers.

Then, Danny caught Rocco (Finn Carr) and Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) sharing a kiss, plus the shocking return of Heather Webber (Alley Mills) capped the week.

Now the questions become; without having much promotional synergy in the ABC day-part to draw more eyeballs it is not helping but hurting General Hospital. It seems Beyond the Gates is also a  benefactor of a one-two-three punch of CBS soaps (Y&R, B&B and BTG) and promotion.

However, that still doesn’t take away the fact that Beyond the Gates is close to besting GH in all ratings category as they go head-to-head in some markets across the country.

So, are you excited to see Beyond the Gates climb in the ratings? Are you concerned for General Hospital? Do you think they can stave off Beyond the Gates in total viewers or will the upstart soap overtake them in the next ratings report? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
