Mix & Mingle With Maurice!

Tags:

It’s been several years since GENERAL HOSPITAL star Maurice Benard (Sonny) has made a public appearance outside of the GH Fan Club Weekend. But that’s all about to change come January: Not only does the fan favorite have several events lined up, but the actor — who has publicly confessed to a fear of flying as a result of his bipolar disorder — is going all out by making his return to the East Coast! Soaps In Depth recently chatted with the multiple Emmy winner all about it!

Soaps In Depth: When was the last time you did a fan event on the East Coast?
Maurice Benard: It’s been about eight years. I think the last time I flew was when I did THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW in 2004. I’ve had a problem flying, but I’m bringing my whole family and they’re going to be seated with me. I think it’s going to be much easier for me. I’m going to do an appearance in Hollywood, FL, and we’re going to spend a couple of days in Disney World. And from there, we’re going to go to New York, and I’ll do my appearances there. We’re going to see some Broadway plays while we’re there. My daughters have a whole list!
