  • Maurice is THE MAN!

    Never really got into General Hospital, I mainly watch The Bold and the Beautiful and Days of Our Lives nowadays. However, with that being said, I freaking LOVE Mr. Maurice Benard and his calm yet powerful approach to life. He’s one of those people that when he’s talking immediately draws you in without even trying. He interviews every guest with such respect and gives them their flowers every time.
