Baby.....I have LOVED Sonny since he joined General Hospital. I can NOT tell you how many times I ran home from work to watch him and Brenda. He literally took my breath away he is still so handsome.....Whew chile.
Yes!!! I was in love with him when he first joined the show! I stopped watching GH many moons ago but he indeed still looks handsome.
Yes! Muy Caliente!!!!
You said it girl!!😊
Sonny and Brenda were a hot couple. Do you know what happened to Brenda ? How did they write her off the show ? I was disappointed when she left. Found out it was a contract dispute.
@@annfergie6191 I do remember them. They had great chemistry as well. I can’t remember how they wrote her out but I hated to see her go. Anyway, there’s something about Nina that irritates me. Honestly, I didn’t like the actress when she was on Y&R.
This man has had multiple generations hooked. Literally for decades.
Me 😁
Maurice is iconic!! Love him so much !!!
MEEE TOOO🤗Love me some Sony🔥🔥🔥
Sony is a great actor
He's amazing !! Been watching him for years. N I love his podcast !!
Absolutely true!!!!!
me too.
I’ve loved him since he was Nico on All my Children
yes, Nico Kelly and Cecily! That takes me back!!! 😆
I was definitely a fan of Nico and Cecily....
Yes❤
YUP!!!!
Yasss! Nico❤❤❤
Sonny is by far my favorite character on GH
General Hospital is the longest running show in TV history. 60 years!!!!
Sixty one years, darlin', same age as me!! I've been addicted since I was fifteen, the first episode I ever saw was Frisco and Felicia's wedding 💍💒!!!!
Really..I feel it young and restless or bold and beautiful..my grandmother and my mother have watched y&r
I have been watching General Hospital since 1973, still love it❤!
He was the one who educated me over 20 years about bi-polar disorder. Such bravery
So basically you were raised by the tv. 😂
@@skip031890
I know know why they call you Skip, Skip you!
Maurice changed GH forever from his job as a mobster to his relationships with Brenda, Carly, and so on, his iconic face and voice is a part of GH history❤❤❤❤
Wait.... I haven't watched General Hospital since the times you're talking about but is Sonny no longer a monster??
I always liked him.
Maurice Bernard , best actor ever and more importantly , humble.
Yes, he is a very humble man
I have been enamored with this man since I first got hooked on watching GH back in 1993! I have always thought he was such an incredible actor and man in general. I mean come on he is Sonny Corinthos the coolest, smoothest mob boss there EVER was ☺️❤️
@Shannon YOU MEAN NOT' WHEN HE WAS NICO ' ON "ALL MY CHILDREN "❓❓‼️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello 👋, how are you doing shannon??
You wrote my exact thoughts!!!!!
"Ditto that, from beginning to end; and thank you for your generosities with sharing!" It's undoubtedly been a fantastic (near) 60 years for myself as well..thanx for the ride; and my GH journey that's brought undeniable adventure and memories to last another lifetime.
Happy 60 years of "Birthdays/Anniversarys," celebrations to our beautiful General Hospital family and cast, I sincerely celebrate you all as the family you've intended yourselves, from the very beginning when entering into my life. ❤️
i started watching for the same amount of time and if he would ever leave gh have to never watch gh again
I love him so much! He has been one of my heroes for years and his story is incredible! He is definitely a bright light in this world!
He certainly is! ❤
I stop watching GH, when Sonny left .
Sonny, Luke, Laura, Robert, Jason, Felecia,
Amy, Dr. Hardy and that's only a few, that made GH the best Soap. They made GH storylines believable!
Oh yes, I have been watching GH for
a long time! Fast Forward, I don't know what it is, but it is something about that Woo Woman that is off to me! I thought she was
actually the hook killer!

I am crying like a baby right now lol. I am 42 and remember watching GH with my granny, momma, and my sister when I was little. I always have continued to watch this show and love it. My Granny and Momma are both in heaven now and it always makes me feel closer to them as I watch it. Absolutely huge fan of Maurice as well as Sonny🙏💞 Congratulations on 60 years General Hospital
Is like a baby
🥰🥺
I remember watching GH years ago with my grams, great aunts, & cousins. I’m 54. It doesn’t feel real that GH is 60 years old & that I’m so damn close to 60. Maurice Bernard is a wonderful fellow. He responded to a message I left on a social media platform after his daughter left for college. Mine was leaving shortly after. He assured me it would be ok
💯. For some reason when my mom passed in 2017 I stopped watching alot of shows we watched together 🤷🏾♀️. I guess it’s to emotional. I’m 41 and remember watching all the soap operas with my mom and my grandma. I miss those two.
Me too. EVERYBODY CRYING!!
He plays his role as Sonny like no other ❤
Tamron surprising Maurice with the appearance of his daughter Heather was the most wonderful part of the episode of her show. I was crying happy tears for their reunion. She was blessed to be adopted by Maurice and Paula. I also enjoyed his book, nothing general about it.
I was led to this specific episode today. Maurice Bernard has been a shining beacon for individuals in just embracing mental health publicly...
I grew up watching Soony on GH with my mom. She's crossed over the fleshly veil of life. Yet, I still GH everyday...
You are appreciated and loved by so many people...
🦄
This was a tear jerker! So glad he was able to see her.
I adore Maurice Benard! He is one of the best actors on General Hospital. He plays Sonny to "T". I have suffered from severe anxiety and emotional issues for years. I have read his book cover to cover and could not put it down. What he does for educating people about mental health including bipolar is a major thing. More education is needed and not enough is done in that respect. Keep up the great work, Maurice.
This man is such an iconic star. He is a fantastic actor.
I’ve been a fan of Maurice, since he starred in All My Children as Nico. When I first saw him as Sonny in General Hospital, I was so excited that he’s joined the cast of General Hospital. I’m glad that Maurice is open about his bipolar diagnosis, because there are many people who have bipolar and other mental illnesses. Maurice is a very blest to have his wife, children bd grandchildren.
Have always love Maurice Bernard. Love his character as Sonny.
Maurice has a good heart! Very talented! Thanks Tamron Jennifer 😊 What a sweet daughter.
I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder when I was 25. I had always been a fan of Patty Duke and when I learned how honest and open she was about her diagnosis and all the work she did to bring awareness to the disorder she became a hero to me. Someone who fought for people who suffer along side her. There is still such a stigma that so many hide their mental health diagnoses and for someone in the public eye to be told to hide it is more detrimental to that individual and to the MH community as a whole. As a fan of General Hospital when Maurice told the world of his diagnosis I felt such joy. Someone else in the public eye was not hiding. Not only not hiding but sharing and brave enough to incorporate it into his role as Sonny. Mr. Benard, I personally want to thank you for all you do and I want to let you know that when you opened up about your Bipolar disorder you became another hero to me. You are a beautiful human.
👍🏾💪🏾
@Annette Stevens I can relate
❤❤❤❤
Wow, he has aged so well. Thank you for trying to take the stigma away from BPD.
Lord I love me some him. He is an amazing talent. One of the few reasons left that I still watch GH.
Tamron’s show feels a DIFFERENT level of genuine and professional.
Beautiful moment. 💛✨
Man I love this guy. I've been watching Sonny grow for so long and watching State of Mind just put me more in touch with one of my favorite actors. He's real and flawed just like the rest of us but it's what he does with it that matters. Love you Maurice.
In 1991 Maurice Bernard, in addition to Playing Neco, on All My Childern. He, also Played Desi Arnaz, in Lucy & Desi. Before, the Laughter TV Movie! He, was Fantastic & all he, does❤#Mental Health
He played John Gatti as,well.
@@ameliaerin1544 I, forgot about that!
The first time I remember seeing him as an actor was Lucy and Desi. I started watching GH in the early 2000s and I was instantly hooked, also impressed with Maurice Bernard as an actor.
Bernard takes the throne on every soap opera ever done! I truly believe
he would have also been a master on the silver screen if given the opportunity.
This man is a fine actor And even finer human Person He cares about helping people with mental Illnesses God Bless you for what you are doing Thank you
i'm in tears. i don't watch GH but this dude is an example of what is possible if we just share a little love regardless of color or creed. I am literally in awe of his light and the light of his family. WOW!
I have watched General Hospital since i was in high school
My Mom watched General Hospital and Edge of Night. Still love Sonny at 74.
I love him he’s been so transparent about everything.God bless him and his beautiful family ❤
I've loved Maurice since All My Children. He is THE BEST MALE ACTOR on DAYTIME!!!! His character in real-life is HONORABLE!!! WELL-DONE!!!! I hope ALL YOUR ENDEAVORS ARE PROSPEROUS!!! GREAT SHOW also, definitely a tearjerker!!!
Love Sonny! I just turned 61, my brother and I used to rush home from high school to watch whatever dilemma Sonny and Port Charles was in to!
You were grown when Sonny first came on in 1993
@@claystevenson1821 I was thinking the same thing. Lol
❤❤❤❤❤ Maurice (aka..Sonny) been watching since Luke - Laura days❤❤❤
I don’t get excited about many celebrities… but Maurice is so loved by me! He is a beautiful soul! A brave, inspirational , amazing human being!!! Of course, I also love Sonny! Without the infamous Sonny, GH would not be complete! SO HAPPY TO SEE THIS INTERVIEW!!!!
I can never get enough watching this. I have been a Sonny fan since his character came to GH Maurice is such a beautiful person amazing heart Just love him
I grew up watching sonny on general hospital with my mom , my mom and I are big fans! Love your pod cast ! Don't ever give up we all go through ups and downs !!
I really got into this show in the early 2000s when I stayed home because I was "sick" in middle school.
When I was 13 I was hooked on Gh with my granny, I was battling severe depression anxiety, when I read an article about Maurice and sonny both having bipolar and what he has been through I didn't feel alone anymore I looked up to him been my hero since I was 13 now 36 feels like family by now ❤ thank you for being so open about mental health and the platform you made Mr.Benard!
god bless both of you!!🧚🏾♀🧚🏾♀💕💛🌿🕊💖🌷🧚🏾♀🧚🏾♀

Dimples Dimples, love his dimples. We just love him so much. He is a wonderful actor and family man💖👐💃💃💃👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

“ I did this for you” … then he flashed those dimples…. Love him!!!!!
Yes, Those Dimples! have been a die hard GH fan since 1980. and never miss the show. Thanks to the internet, I don't have to.
We all crying ❤

@@ameliaerin1544
ALL.
Maurice is the BEST!!!! ❤️❤️💕
I cannot say enough good things about Maurice. His "State of Mind" podcast is amazing and a gift to humanity. I love, love, love Maurice so much. I wish him and his beautiful and wonderful family all the best that life can hold. He is an amazing man and he adores his beautiful wife and all the children and grandchildren with all his might. 👵
I have been watching it since I was 3 with my mommy. She's a angel 😇 now I'm 63 now ❤
Sonny is up there with the soap legend OGs! Victor Newman/Kiriakis, John/Jack Abbott, & Sonny Corinthos. The leading men of daytime. Gangsta!!
Yep!
I'd watch The Young and the Restless and Bold and the Beautiful on CBS, and then to switch to ABC for One Life to Live and General Hospital.
Most people would just watch all the soaps on the same network, but not me.
I'd only watch the good ones.
I love this for him.
Remember my 1st time seeing him on All My Children as Nico Kelly!❤❤
I'm now 43 and I remember watching All My Children with my mom. Maurice used to be on that soap as well.His name was Nico. Anybody else remember? His girlfriend on the show was Cescilly
BEEN WATCHING THIS WILL MY MOM AND GRANDMA FOR 30 YRS.. SUNNY IS THE GOAT.. and as of writeimg this it's my 30th birthday

I love me some Sonny!!! Maurice Bernard is an incredible actor. Those scenes when he's having an episode, Wow!!
Oh I ugly cried! He’s such an amazing human! Love you Maurice!
Tamron is getting it done!! What a classy show!!!
YOU DIDN’T LET HIM TELL THE STORY ABOUT HER , TAMRON MY GOODNESS ❤ IM UPSET WITH YOU TODAY 😊
It’s not her fault. If she could she would let the guest talk for hours, but that’s not the way television works, they have a time frame so they only have a certain amount of minutes to spend with each guest and the host have to abide by the rules, otherwise, they could get fired. The producers are the boss.
Love Maurice ❤
I love sonny❤❤❤ and Jason too miss jason they need to bring back jason😘😘
I'm 66 years old and been watching GH my entire life.
You need a life and job if you've been watching Soap Operas for 66 years. I am 67 years old and I didn't spend my entire life watching Soap Operas with the exception of 'All My Children and One Life to Live' as a college student and young professional adult. I later stopped watching Soap Operas because that's what they were, Soap Operas.
@@daddygrace253 come on now. Of course I was not watching, just observing as a child, but you already know thus fact, since you are 67.. Anyway, I love the way you justify the stand that YOU watched soaps. Grow up and accept 😌 what they are really about. No, like you, I had a REAL LIFE that also included college, Grad school, Etc. STOP judge someone's opinion so harshly and accept it's their point of view. You comment comes across as being an online bully. 🙄 GROW UP. be kind with the comments you choose to review and reply. There is no harm in expressing an opposing view. I'm disappointed 😞 in your chosen reply.
