Maurice Benard has played beloved gangster Sonny Corinthos on “General Hospital” since 1993.
In 2023, he toldVariety, “I came in playing a bipolar character.
I’ve had to figure out how to maneuver that.”
Benard fought hard to hold back his tears, muttering, “Oh, don’t do that.”
Hall explained that Andresen’s adoption changed the course of her life for the better.
Benard recalled the time when he and his wife had first adopted Andresen.
She subsequently asked if she could refer to Paula as “Mom.”
Benard said, “I was gone.
Worse than I am now,” referencing his welling emotions.
A swell of loving endearment could be heard from the audience as their hearts were warmed.
He lovingly captioned it, “MY LIFE IS JUST BEGINNING.
The two bonded during the discussion because Benard brought up her childhood.
But for me, I’m sensitive and was a sensitive kid, and the alone time helped.”
It was one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen."
