Don't want my $hit to get soggy
I was reading this thread on reddit
And several people made interesting comments. All I will say is, it makes sense. How the show is so centered and panders to Maurice/Sonny. How three of his leading ladies abruptly left. Two came back only if they were to play different characters. Just another disappointment with a HW actor I actually liked.

Never, MB pulls the strings which is why Sonny is made out to be a saint. And the writers just let him. It's the same reason why Michael hating Sonny for killing AJ ended so abruptly, it was because Maurice didn't like Sonny being written as the bad guy.
And this bs that Carly's a great mom is something I have never bought into, she chose to bring her children into the mob life and they've all been put in danger because of it. Shot, blown up, kidnapped.
The halo that they give to CarSon is why I gave up on GH. It's just way too much, hell Carly's the reason we have that loser Peter which is even worse.
and it opened the floodgates.
Oh my lord. I feel as though I’ve been summoned. True story. I had to delete a twitter account in 2016 because I asked Maurice Bernard about the rumors of him not liking Sean Kanaan and Ted King were true leading to their characters leaving. He was rude, his fans started sending death threats, tried to dox me, so I just deleted the account. The rumors I always heard about Ted King were that MB was super jealous that his character was popular/getting storylines, so he pushed for him to get written out/lose to Sonny. Sean Kanaan was a bit of that plus he’d gained weight after rehab, so FV wrote him less and less, so he chose to leave. Also, why is Micheal Easton playing doctors? Because when he played McBain- who could come back now and is a needed character- MB and allegedly Steve Burton were jealous. Honestly, I think Steve left because JFP offered him a deal where he could still live in Memphis and work in CA. As soon as she got fired, he left. Roger Howarth was actually supposed to allegedly play Valentin but MB nixed that too. The network brass think Sonny is the reason GH is popular. When Ron Carvalti wrote less Sonny, MB complained and rallied his fans to complain. He threatened to leave too. So now he basically gets what he wants. So we have this GH. Which is coasting on the good acting he did in the 90s.
He's notorious for sending fans after anyone who criticizes him. And I loved Alcazar when he was on, he was cool yet had a certain sophistication to him, he made Sonny enjoyable because of the mob war between Alcazar and the Corinthos'. And a part of me does believe MB nixed the character due to jealousy, but him calling the shots backstage has gotten worse and worse. He's got such a fragile ego that he can't allow for anyone to be popular or for his character (The drug pushing, pimping Mobster) to be painted as a bad guy.
I've never heard of an actor complaining about being a bad guy; for Godsake one of Days Of Our Lives' most popular characters was a bad guy from when he debuted to when he died and I never heard any complaints from him. Hell look at Becky Herbst (Liz) she's gotten horrible writing that trashes her character, hell she was even fired once and she's still here, and I haven't heard about any complaints or string pulling from her.
And he still throws shade at Rob because he had thr nerve to allow for other characters to be put on the front burner. MB knows the show is bad but does be care? No cause he knows people are still gonna watch. Does he care his string pulling is making the show insufferable? No because peoole are still watching
Oh definitely. It’s why Ted King left GH and will never go back. It’s also why Sean Kanaan was screwed by the writers this last run. Also, why when they did the OLTL crossover, suddenly a plot about John McBain having a sister that was killed by Sonny was shoed in.... but SURPRISE!!! Sonny didn’t kill her! Nooooo not Sonny. And why the show whitewashes Sonny’s past. Also, have you ever noticed that for a long while, every new female had to become Sonny’s love interest?
And it’s why Roger Howarth and Micheal Easton- whom have huge bases- were cast in unpopular roles. Roger was supposed to be Valentin Cassadine. Micheal Easton was supposed to be an FBI agent type character. Maurice threatened to quit. They were scared because Steve Burton DID quit when they paired John McBain and Sam. Even though he actually hates Kelly Monaco irl. The only women Steve has ever liked that he’s been paired with are Becky and Kimberly.
Maurice walked off set the first time around the time they first paired Sonny and Carly. He didn’t want them to be paired. He walks off for days at a time when he doesn’t agree with the story. He also threatened to quit when Sonny was put in prison for killing AJ. He doesn’t like Sonny looking bad. He will threaten to quit for anything. He’s literally a child who throws tantrums, which is why you’ll hear no current actor speak badly about him. At least not publicly
I had the “pleasure” of getting into an argument with him over twitter where he sent his stans at me. I was then contacted and befriended someone whom I’ll never reveal. I had to make a new twitter acct and keep it secret. But I did make a very good friend.
Yeah. It was a literal shock to me because I actually respected the guy at first for working with a mental illness and doing great work. But the ego is too much for me tbh. And yeah. He’s literally almost as bad as Brian Frons with killing that show. They should just let him quit and deal with the Facebook fans freaking out for a few days.
