Maurice Benard: TV Guide News

  • General Hospital Exclusive: Meet Sonny's New Son | Soaps News | 3/12/2009
    Apparently it was not a gunshot wound that landed Michael Cornithos in a coma. It was a debilitating case of Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome.

    Following months of speculation, General Hospital has recast Michael Quartermaine Corinthos — and ... read more 41 Comments

  • Logan Rave: Lisa LoCicero Brings Sexy Back to GH's Sonny | Soaps News | 10/14/2008

    Wasn't Lisa LoCicero's arrival on General Hospital as ballsy Brooklyn babe Olivia Falconeri utterly fantastic? Clearly, the show's top star, Maurice Benard (Sonny), thinks so. In their first scenes together last week, the duo set off some wildly intriguing sex sparks — which makes Benard's lack of chemistry with current leading lady Megan Ward (Kate) all the more obvious and disappointing.

    GH is making a huge mistake if it doesn't team Sonny and Olivia now.

    Viva LoCicero!

  • GH's Sarah Brown, Part 2: When Claudia Met Sonny.... | Soaps News | 1/24/2008
    In Part 1 of our exclusive first sit-down with Sarah Brown, the three-time Daytime Emmy winner revealed what led her back to General Hospital and the concerns she had about doing so. Here in the conclusion of our Q&A, Sarah previews Claudia Zacchara's first encounter with Sonny, the inevitable face-off between "two Carlys" and the length of her new Port Charles visit. Be sure to take in every bit here, as the "lead" (that is, the truly juicy stuff) sort of got buried at the end. But oh, is it worth it. — Matt MitovichTVGuide.com: Of course, Laura Wright is now playing Carly, so you are creating a new role....Sarah Brown: I'm going to be playing Claudia Zacchara. She is the eldest daughter of Anthony Zacchara.TVGuide.com: Played by Bruce Weitz....Brown: Woohoo, I can't wait to work with him! TVGuide.com: Is Claudia totally a tough cookie or does she have a soft spot somewhere?Brown: Oh, she has a soft spot, because she's being played by me. [Laughs] I can't fathom playing a ... read more
  • GH Exclusive! Sarah Brown Previews Her "Wild" Return | Soaps News | 1/18/2008
    A funny thing happened in the six-plus years since Sarah Brown left General Hospital — the role of Carly, the hell-raising, rollerblading tomcat she created back in 1996, was recast. A lot. With Laura Wright now embedded in the role, when Brown resurfaces in Port Charles on Jan. 31, she will have a brand-new vixen to bring to life — Claudia Zacchara, the prodigal daughter of mob boss Anthony. Here in Part 1 of TVGuide.com's exclusive sit-down with Brown, the three-time Daytime Emmy winner shares how her GH return came about and reveals why she is excited to be back. — Matt Webb MitovichTVGuide.com: When did the talks to return to GH first start up?Sarah Brown: Oh, I want to say about five months ago. It was a really interesting happenstance. TVGuide.com: Was it a call from [ABC Daytime president Brian] Frons or...?Brown: No, it was nothing like that. First, I haven't seen Maurice [Benard, Sonny] or anybody from the show — except for Tava [Smiley, ex-Chloe] and St... read more
  • General Hospital Mobster Has the Weitz Stuff | Soaps News | 10/4/2007
    Jeez, will this guy please show up already! For the last several weeks, the characters on General Hospital have been talking nonstop about Anthony Zacchara, a mobster so scary his mere name makes Port Charles crime boss Sonny Corinthos (played by Maurice Benard) shiver like a Chihuahua. On Oct. 19 we'll finally put a face to the reputation when Zacchara hits the air, and he'll be looking just like Bruce Weitz!The actor, remembered for his terrific, Emmy-winning run as Det. Mick Belker on Hill Street Blues, tells me he said yes to GH "before we even discussed the money — the role is that good. Of course, after this incredibly big buildup, any actor is going to be a letdown, except maybe Marlon Brando!" Zacchara plans to take over Sonny's territory and he's sure to play dirty. "He's a homicidal maniac who goes way beyond Tony Soprano in craziness," Weitz says. "Zacchara is totally out of his mind." — Reporting by Michael Logan read more
