General Hospital's Paige Herschell returns with Maurice Benard—and it gets personal.
Paige asks the Daytime Emmy-winning host a question that turns the interview around; from there, performance and personal history begin to overlap, until Maurice names what he saw in one scene and Paige leaves GH fans with one last Port Charles question.
Part 2 of this conversation goes where State of Mind is supposed to go: into the complicated space where love meets addiction, grief changes old beliefs, and the truths people carry can follow them into their work.
Content note: This episode includes discussion of addiction, depression, suicide, impaired driving, sexual assault, grief, and psychiatric medication.
🆘 If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in the U.S. and Canada.
