General Hospital fans who follow Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) on the ABC daytime drama also follow his mental health podcast, State of Mind. Currently, the whole thing seems to be on hiatus, but he revealed an upcoming guest, and he promised some old footage over the next two weeks. Read on to find out more.
What’s Going On With State Of Mind?
About two weeks ago, fans felt a lot of disappointment because Maurice Benard did a solo podcast. In it, he explained that he spends a lot of time on the podcast. So, he decided to shift it across behind a paywall on Patreon. However, he also told his GH fans they could listen to it free on their podcast sites.
Last Sunday, people waited in vain. They were told that perhaps the new Patreon show would launch at the beginning of November. Notably nothing new arrived on YouTube last week. But, on X, formerly Twitter on November 1, the ABC star shared a bit about it. In his post, he said:
@mbstateofmind will be back Sunday November 16 with the incomparable (Genie Francis).
Strangely, he also posted the link to subscribe to YouTube, rather than Patreon. Actually, the last video he shared there was one from an interview with Larry Romano 13 days ago.
Will There Be New Content Coming?
In the comments section, one follower asked Maurice Benard, “We have to wait 2 weeks?!!!”
In his reply, the real-life Sonny Corinthos wrote, “I will be putting up past shows the really good ones.” Well, he does that from time to time. But, something he’s not talking about is whether fans will be able to watch the promised interview with Genie Francis without subscribing to Patreon.
If Maurice wants to take a break, well, no pressure. But, his mental health awareness fans seem keen for much more from him. In fact Maurice Benard once said that he feels his legacy is more about mental health awareness than about his acting.
Other Reactions
In the comments, one person felt so disappointed there wasn’t any new interview on State of Mind. They wrote, “I thought it was today. I almost cried this morning. But I watched two other episodes. You’re an excellent interviewer.”
Here are a few more responses from the discussion area:
- This hope that everyone will tune w Sunday for this must see episode of the Amazing Icon who is GENIE FRANCIS A MUST SEE EPISODE.
- Looking forward to this one.
- Glad you decided to give yourself 2 weeks off.
- I can’t wait!
