Rumor Alert!

I'll believe this when I see it, but rumors are circulating on soap message boards that Maurice Benard is leaving "General Hospital," where he seemingly dominates the show as mob kingpin Sonny Corinthos. Word is he might turn up as Victor Newman's brother (!) on "The Young and the Restless."

Robert Parucha previously played Victor's brother, Matt.

Benard's airtime has decreased some in recent months, but I still can't picture him playing anyone but Sonny, and it's also questionable whether he would want to take on a supporting role (I'm assuming) when he can be the big fish at "GH." However, it also appears as if the character of Johnny (Brandon Barash) is being groomed as the next big thing in the Port Charles organized crime fraternity. Then again, I thought Ted King (ex-Alcazar) was hired for the same reason, but his airtime dwindled, and he finally left the show.

This is all just rumor and speculation for now, and we'll let you know if anything official is announced.
