Maurice Benard Plays Dolls With Cute Grandchild, TT
Maurice Benard who plays the role of Sonny Corinthos on General Hospital seems like a kind man when it comes to his family. This weekend, he shared that he played with dolls with his cute grandchild, Tiana, AKA “TT.” Read on for cuteness overload.
News From Home Is Often Sweet
The softer side of Benard often emerges on social media, and at Christmas time, he shared an adorable video as he shared how he gifted his wife, Paula Smith a puppy. Sweetly, in a sorry-not-sorry way, the GH star seemed overcome with emotion.
Maurice Benard loves animals and children, and he once told General Hospital fans that he’d like to take his goat, Buddy onto the ABC show. That hasn’t happened yet, but he’s a sweetheart, fans think. So maybe it will happen one day. But, on March 1, it was TT that appeared with him in a reel on his birthday.
Playing Dolls With TT
In early December, the ABC crime boss shared that TT, the child of Cailey and her husband Carlos Avila, already seemed excited about Christmas. Perhaps she got her dolls as gifts when Santa called in. If that is the case, someone nailed it because TT seems delighted with them.

GH fans might laugh to think that the strong character of Sony Corithos would so sweetly play with dolls. In his reel on Instagram, Maurice Benard said he’d “never really played with dolls before,” as he sat with a big one on his lap.
TT Demonstrates How Babies Use Their Mouths
In the caption, Benard told his fans:
Sometimes when you play with Dolls unexpected things can happen!!! especially when TT is involved.
Jabbering away, TT told her grandfather all about her doll. But, the GH star told her that her baby doll had “a big mouth,” and “cries a lot.” Well, you can’t tell TT anything about babies and dolls it seems. So, she explained the baby needed “a mouth” and promptly stuck the doll under her tee, demonstrating how the infant feeds.
Fans React In The Comments
Fans of Maurice Benard thought the reel was the sweetest thing. So, they told him about how nurturing the cutie-patootie is. Here are some of those reactions:
