General Hospital Spoilers – Maurice Benard Clarifies His ‘Power’

General Hospital spoilers reveal that there is word that Carlivati blames Benard for him getting fired from the long-running ABC soap. Benard explained on Twitter that he didn’t get the head writer fired. He also clarified that he doesn’t have the power to fire anyone at the soap because if he did, some people wouldn’t still be working there.

“I don’t have the power to get anyone fired. If I did trust me there would’ve been at least a handful of individuals that would’ve been gone. So stop with the nonsense unless you know the facts.”

General Hospital Spoilers: Soap Drama Off-Screen

Fans are used to seeing drama unfold on-screen. However, just like with any job, there is plenty of drama once the cameras stop rolling. The history of daytime shows us just how fiery tempers can get between co-stars, producers, writers, and everyone in between. While not everyone is going to get along and there will be resentment between certain people, sometimes it’s better to just stay silent, give a smile, and say “thank you.” Carlivati’s response has not only GH fans talking, but DOOL viewers too. Nothing good can come from instigating a war. Use emojis responsibly, everyone.

What do you think of Carlivati’s eye-rolling response to Benard’s congratulations about the Writers Guild Award nominations? Do you think the DOOL head writer just should have said thank you instead of responding the way he did?
