Some General Hospital fans admit that they are not ready to see Benard retire no matter how difficult some of the stories get. Maurice Benard has often spoken about retiring but hasn’t said for sure when that will happen. At one point he discussed retiring at 65 and then it was 67. In all honesty, Benard should keep asking until he decides it is time to stop and move on to something else. Recent rumors have been fueled by Benard’s talk about how difficult Sonny is to play at times. Benard refers to Sonny as dark and brooding, almost like he is depressed by the thought of stepping back into the role. Barnard also admitted that he liked being Mike because the guy was more laid back and at ease.

I liked Mike (I always looked at it as if he was somehow funneling his Dad and I loved Mike, both actors who played Mike) but I love Sonny. I wouldn't be the same without him and Carly (or Jason and Sam). Yes, there has been some mob stuff but it is usually just between the mobs and it's like the Corinthos people just protecting PC and the people by cleaning up the bad guys. As far as Victor, Peter, Ryan, and Esme go, it has always been known that Victor is a Cassidine and is ruthless, I like him as a baddie, Peter is a product of his raising, Cyrus, Ryan, Nelle, and Esme are evil, as well as ruthless, baddies, and psychos and they kill or damage just for the fun of it.
