Maurice Benard’s Granddaughter TT Outsmarts Him?
Maurice Benard challenges his granddaughter TT to a contest, but the clever little girl has her own way of avoiding defeat.

General Hospital (GH) star Maurice Benard, who plays the role of mobster Sonny Corinthos, is at it again, bringing the simple joy of little kids and smiles that make life better. Read on to see what he and his grandchild TT have been getting up to recently.
A New Reel of TT
On Monday, Maurice Benard took to his Instagram account and shared a cute post of him and TT. In the caption of the reel, he explained, “I make TT laugh all the time so we played this game staring at each other whoever laughs first loses.”
But then he noted that TT’s no fool, saying, “she was smart enough to not look at me😜.” Finally, the GH star said, “She is very special.”
The reel revealed that yes, TT was being rather clever by not looking at her ABC daytime drama grandpa. Well, it kind of takes away the “staring rules,” but it certainly worked for her for a bit.
Who Won The Staring Test?
Well, Maurice Benard stared hard at his grandchild, who sat there in a pink cowboy hat, resolutely staring at her feet. But then, he took a giant bite of a piece of watermelon. She tried to stay stoic, but eventually, the chomping sounds defeated her and she smiled so sweetly.

In the comments section, General Hospital fans agreed that TT and her grandad really do have a wonderful relationship. Others love the simple joy that he shares with them.
Many fans are aware that Maurice struggles with anxiety and bipolar disorder. And they love to see him enjoying life through loving family relationships.
