“General Hospital” star Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) will welcome actress Sarah Joy Brown as his first guest of 2023 for his podcast series “State of Mind with Maurice Benard.” The episode will be released Sunday, January 1 on the show’s YouTube channel.

“I’m excited to see it, thank you for talking with me,” stated Brown in response to a tweet by Benard in which he informed her that he just finished editing their episode together. 

Details of what the two discussed in the episode was unknown at press time.

Appearing in numerous daytime dramas, including “As The World Turns,” “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “Days of our Lives,” Brown is probably best known for her three-time Daytime Emmy Award winning portrayal as Carly Corinthos on “General Hospital.” She originated the role in 1996 and remained part of the show’s cast until 2001. From 1999 until her departure, Brown worked alongside Benard as they helped create the supercouple known as  “S&C” or “CarSon.” In 2007, Brown returned to “General Hospital” as a new character named Claudia Zacchara, a mob princess who also was romantically involved with Benard’s Sonny character. Outside of daytime soaps, Brown has also starred in such shows as “V.R. Troopers,” “Cold Case,” “Beacon Hills,” and more recently, “Studio City,” among others.

“State of Mind with Maurice Benard” is the only podcast series where fans can watch their favorite daytime stars, past and present, discuss important issues, particularly relating to mental health. As explained by Benard, “[‘State of Mind’] means being 100% present, feeling completely at peace inside of you, not letting your thoughts control your life and always looking for ways to be the best that you can be.”

On Sunday, January 8, Benard’s much anticipated discussion with co-stars Cameron Mathison (Drew), Laura Wright (Carly) and Dominic Zamprogna (Dante) from the iconic Graceland is set to air. The episode, which is being released in honor of Elvis Presley’s birthday, was taped in late October when the show brought cast members back to Memphis for the first time since pre-pandemic. The episode will also include a surprise guest who will leave Benard speechless.

Wonder how candid this one will be!

[Liberty City]

I am SHOCKED by this, because I know Sarah Joy Brown has gone on record stating she has had little-to-no contact with Maurice Benard since her many claims have come to light, especially given her situation with Vanessa Marcil, which Benard is close with.

[Vee]

It'll never happen (at least not as long as the show is on network), but I'd still accept Sarah back as Carly any day of the week. Laura Wright is a great actress who has done heroic work in the role in good times and bad and I've always admired her on multiple soaps, but it will never not be Sarah for me.

What is the issue between her and Vanessa?

I will be watching this one!

If I recall the live correctly, she mentioned how Marcil expressed admiration for the wife of Haim Saban, whom Brown has actively accused of hurting her career.

From a now-deleted tweet in September of 2018, she tweeted: "I was curiously fired just after I began to speaking up to my co-workers about my experience with Leslie’s friend Haim Saban and his former partner Shuki Levy. But it wasn’t the first time Leslie singled me out" and then she tweeted: "One of the grossest things I’ve ever seen on Twitter was Vanessa Macil shouting out her love for Haim Saban’s wife. Vanessa who’s known me more than 20 years and knew full well what I’d been thru. #ThankyouVanessa"

And, because of this, she mentioned how she & Benard were not really on speaking terms, considering how close Benard is to Marcil.
