    So far, Maurice Benard’s State of Mind has mostly been talking to fellow General Hospital stars. However, this week, he expanded to CBS by interviewing Courtney Hope. She plays Sally Spectra on The Young and the Restless, and has also played the character on Bold and the Beautiful. However, there was a bit of a GH connection. Let’s talk the episode and the reaction.

    Maurice Benard’s State of Mind: The guest

    Courtney is the fiancé of General Hospital star Chad Duell (Michael Corinthos). She spoke about how she’d been moved to recurring status on B&B. A couple of months later, she got the call to cross her character over. We were surprised to learn she was also up for Days of Our Lives a couple of times. However, she mentioned how she didn’t feel she was done with the character of Sally yet.

    She spoke a bit about her relationship with Duell and how he helps her anxiety with his laid-back energy, as well as opening up about the battle her brother faced and how her family’s losses drove home the importance of crying. Check out the video to see more.

    Finally, one fan said, “The best thing about State of Mind is hearing actors and actresses, people we admire, talking about their struggles with anxiety and depression. They are being so real and relatable. I’m on medication for anxiety for many years and it’s nice to know I’m not alone! Thank you, as always, Maurice!!”
