It’s New Music Friday! And you know what that means! Independent and major label artists drop either their latest single, music video or both! In the case of General Hospital alum, Joshua Benard (ex-Adam Wright) and the real-life son of GH series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos), December 12 marks the release of his music video to his track, Ladybug.

Joshua wrote the song, and shared how the impetus for the track came about during a recent Instagram video. “One day my mom was calling me and she said, ‘I thought of your ex today because I saw a ladybug,’ so i wrote this song,” Benard explained before breaking out into his tune.

The music video for it, now on Joshua and Lara Haciosmanoglu You Tube Channel has credits that include: Video stars: Joshua Benard and Mireia Jiménez Pinilla Director: Lara Haciosmanoglu Producers: Lara Haciosmanoglu, Paula Benard, and Joshua Benard DP: Karson Kane Steadicam: Collin Scouten 1st AC: Anna Dalesio Grip/PA: Connor Lattery Art Design/PA: Mary Ruby Smith Ladybug Costume: Alethia Moore Editor: Nickolas Krueger Color: Rudy Pesci.

In honor of the release of the music video, Maurice Benard shared a video of very young Joshua singing along to Justin Bieber while also announcing the release of the music video for Ladybug. The three-time Daytime Emmy winner shared, “Found this in the archives @jjbenard has always been singing. This @lilbieber song singing to his sister was precious, but I don’t think I’ll see it again. Joshua is now pursuing a career in music. He is self-taught in piano, guitar, and singing for that matter. His new song LADYBUG just came out, doing extremely well. Thanks to you all. His Music Video Comes Out FRIDAY.”

GH fans know Joshua played the part of PCU student, Adam, who’s character arc did a 180 after he first appeared in 2022, when viewers thought the character was a real jerk. At that time, Adam made insensitive comments towards Josslyn (Eden McCoy) for the sex video that went viral at the campus of Joss and Cameron Webber (William Lipton). Later, after he apologized for his bad behavior, he started to have panic attacks and mental health issues due to the pressure he put upon himself to get straight A’s in college to please his father, only to have his life spiral out of control.

In 2023, Adam had a potential suicide attempt overdosing on dextroamphetamine pills, and the character was eventually written off the show come February of 2024. Adam left the canvas with the hopes of getting back on his feet, and to become more mentally stable, and to get out from under his father’s thumb and needing his approval as a meadure

Now below, check out Joshua’s official music video for his song, ‘Ladybug’ and let us know what you thought of it via the comment section below, and if you would like to see hin return to ‘General Hospital’ some time down the line.

Congrats to Joshua on the music.

But, no, there isn’t a need for him to return to GH. There’s a plethora of legacy characters in his age group that deserve storylines. He did fine on his brief stint as Adam, but let’s get Cameron and Spencer back on the canvas. It’s pitiful how Elizabeth doesn’t have one of her sons active in story while she spends her time doing product placement spots.

William Lipton overacts so I’m fine with him staying away.

At this point it could be a recast Cameron.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Serena Sets Her Sights on Michael; Jason’s Emotional Exit from the Mob

Published

By

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, new and old motivations come into play with dangerous consequences. According to the just released GH video spoilers video for the week of August 3-7, a bailiff calls out, “All rise!”

Now it’s Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) vs. Curtis (Donnell Turner), as the surgeon is suing the owner of the Savoy for assault that ruined is ability to operate. At the end of the day, which of these men has enough evidence against the other? Portia (Brook Kerr) is by Isaiah’s side, while Jordan (Tanisha Harper) is with Curtis.

Next, Lucy (Lynn Herring) has a plan to get the controlling shares of Deception away from Michael (Rory Gibson). She wants her daughter, Serena (Kelly Kruger) to seduce Michael. She tells her, “Pick out your most seductive suit.” Soon, we see Serena in her bathing suit at the Metro Court face to face with Michael.

Later, there is a small baggie containing three blue pills. Nina (Cynthia Watros) ask Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), “What did you do?” We also see Michael asking the same thing of Jacinda (Paige Herschell). Leading into this week, viewers know that Willow doesn’t want the former escort anywhere near her children, Amelia and Wiley. Is this how she stops her, or is Jacinda up to old tricks and wants to frame Willow? Remember when Jacindsa drugged Drew (Cameron Mathison)? Stay tuned.

Finally, in the pick-up from last Friday’s cliffhanger, an emotional Jason (Steve Burton) continues to tell Sonny (Maurice Benard) that he cannot work for him anymore. Sonny ask, “So that’s it? You’re Out?” We fade to black.

Take a look at the official GH spoilers for the week below.

Vincent Pastore of ‘Sopranos’ Fame and ‘General Hospital’s’ Maximus Giambetti Dies at 80

Published

Vincent Pastore, best known for his memorable role as Salvatore “Big Pussy” Bonpensiero on HBO’s The Sopranos has passed away.

The veteran actor was found dead on August 1st in his home in the Bronx, New York. Pastore was 80-years-old. The cause of death is yet to be determined.

As well as his role on The Sopranos, many soap fans will recall he played multiple smaller roles on the beloved One Life to Live from 1995 and 2004. However, in 2008, he landed the short-term role as Maximus Giambetti on General Hospital.

PASTORE WANTED TO BE ON GENERAL HOSPITAL

Maximus was the mobster father of Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) bodyguards: Max (Derk Cheetwood) and Milo (Drew Cheetwood)

According to Soap Opera Digest, Pastore told Soaps In Depth back in 2009, after appearing in a SOAPnet promotional campaign as a celebrity fan of General Hospital: “‘I’d love to be on the show. So they called up GH’s casting director (Mark Teschner) and Bobby (Robert Guza Jr. ex-head writer, GH) and they wrote me in!”

Pastore was a huge General Hospital fan from way back, who at one point told producers that he would watch the ABC soap opera while working in bars and nightclubs in the 70s and 80s.

Throughout his decades long career, Pastore appeared in films including: Goodfellas, Carlito’s Way and Men of Respect, The Jerky Boys: The Movie and the 1996 HBO TV movie Gotti.

In TV, besides The Sopranos, Pastore’s credits included: Law & Order, The Practice, Son of the Beach, Queens Supreme, Hawaii Five-0, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, plus the miniseries The Last Don II. Most recently, Vincent was a series regular on Gravesend and guest starred on Yellowjackets.

Pastore is survived by his daughter, Renee, son-in-law and granddaughter.
