‘General Hospital’ (GH) spoilers indicate the Corinthos family is in for some hard times. We’ve been dealing with Mike Corbin’s (Max Gail) Alzheimer’s for a while now. In recent weeks, his condition deteriorated, and the family is feeling the pressure. This storyline is a tough one. It’s not easy see such a real and emotional story playing out on screen. It can bring up bring up bad memories, or hit home for someone who fears being in that position. Let’s take a look at the storyline and how the show/actors are doing with it.
‘General Hospital’ spoilers: Possibilities
This storyline gives the actors so much to do. For Mike, he’s been dealing with the ups and downs personally. Meanwhile, his family has to cope with the ever-changing situation and how it affects their day-to-day. It even helped Griffin Munroe (Matt Cohen) stick around a bit longer, as Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Bernard) asked him to give a professional opinion. But there’s an even deeper angle here that will likely impact the characters long after Mike is gone.
‘General Hospital’ spoilers: Disagreement
Sonny, understandably, want to do everything in his power to help Mike. This led to a recent disagreement with Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) over where they go from here. Carly seems to believe Sonny is grasping at straws here, and possibly wasting his efforts. Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) seems to feel the same way. He questioned in this trial Sonny wants Mike in really is the best thing for him. He reminded Sonny even Mike’s former home isn’t familiar and comfortable for him now. He wonders how Mike will do in another country. In an even more important question, ‘General Hospital’ spoilers indicate Michael isn’t sure Mike would want this. It’s a fine line between what we want to do for loved ones, and what’s really best for them/what they want, so we love the show is exploring this.
Another great aspect is how they are so good at handling Mike’s episodes. As we mentioned, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) and Dev Cerci (Ashton Arbab) were great at talking him down. Carly also does a good job of being cheerful and calm when Mike’s in distress. But even better is the acting.
‘General Hospital’ spoilers: Nailing it
So, we already said this is not an easy story to tell. However, the cast proves they’re up for the task. Duell did a great job of trying to be realistic with Sonny, while also gentle and sympathetic. Wright did a good job with the more aggressive approach, but the MVP is Gail. His portrayal of Mike’s confusion, anger, and eventually calm in the right circumstances are heartbreaking to watch. Same with Bernard. General Hospital spoilers reveal the pain in his face was real when Mike thought he was an old enemy. Same when Sonny lost his composure a minute when Carly questions Sonny’s medical plans for Mike. We’re looking forward to what the writers and actors will do next.
