Maurice Benard, who has played Sonny Corinthos for over three decades on General Hospital, is once again the center of fan speculation.

Rumors of Maurice Bernard’s Sonny leaving General Hospital explained
In the latest General Hospital episodes, what will happen to Sonny seems uncertain. Spoilers suggest the mob boss is more vulnerable than ever after secretly battling a serious heart condition. Despite trying to keep his health under wraps, enemies have caught wind of his weakness.
While in Los Angeles for a critical surgery, Sonny becomes a target. A recent sneak peek showed a tense scene: Sonny lies unconscious in his hospital bed when a mysterious woman approaches with a syringe. Just as she makes her move, Sonny’s eyes fly open, leaving viewers questioning whether he’ll survive the attack.
As the suspense builds, speculation about Maurice Benard’s leaving General Hospital intensifies. However, there’s no official confirmation that the Emmy-winning actor is leaving the soap. Benard has previously hinted at retirement in interviews, but he’s also expressed a deep love for the character and his on-screen family. So, while the storyline suggests Sonny may die, it’s likely a dramatic arc rather than him leaving General Hospital. Still, General Hospital isn’t shying away from keeping fans on edge.
The list of suspects is growing. Natalia, who lost her job unexpectedly and feels betrayed by Sonny, is one possibility. There’s also her ex, Jenz Sidwell, who has a long-standing grudge against him. Both have motive—and possibly means—to take advantage of Sonny’s health crisis. Carly, determined to protect Sonny, has flown to LA despite his warnings. Jason joins her, and both are suspicious of Natalia’s role.
While rumors swirl about Maurice Benard leaving General Hospital, nothing has been confirmed, suggesting it’s not the end of Sonny.
