These episodes keep getter better & better. Lisa blew me away too & I love her even more now. Wow!!!

[@PAPVisions]

Loved watching this. Her real energy is very similar to Olivia's, and Olivia is such a likeable character. She's the best friend everyone wish they had!!

[@josephinewallace9946]

I have watched GH since I was 5...my mother would have it on. I am now 48. I've loved the characters and story line over the years. Of course Sonny has always been top 3 for me. Since the character of Olivia has been with GH, I've resonated with her nurturing of her children and being Italian and from NY myself it resonates even higher. Everything she spoke about I connect with. Live in that place and know to be Thankful in gratitude. In a state of blessings and ever changing paths. Love 🙏💜 We are all 1

[@lonniebooker970]

Mr. Maurice Benard is the best Sonny Corinthos that himself has ever played respectively with Mr. Anthony Geary aka "Luke Spencer".

[@CultJam999]

I started watching GH with my Grannie when I was 4, I'm now 49. I also watched with my Mom, sister, BFF and now my teenage daughter. 💜🌻

[@aprilfoxbilligmeier2059]

This was so good! The vulnerably was off the charts with both of you. Thank you for this...two people that adore each other!!!! So good to see.

[@susanne52620]

Real people

[@kesa7669]

Lisa is very smart, strong, sweet, talented, and insightful. My favorite guest. I'm all for Ashwanganda.

[@tamraleone3012]

These are such emotionally strong vlogs/talks! It’s not surface bullshit!!! Stronger and stronger every time

[@kellystewart1231]

Bring laura Wright to the show

[@chandrarice9000]

I really enjoyed this chat, Lisa is an amazing person. As well as Maurice....keep up the great work with these chats.

[@pall3381]

Man I was sad when the episode ended. She should be a regular you can tell y’all are fond of each other really cool conversations between friends

[@amy5262]

Love Lisa, she is so great at playing Olivia!!

[@17Anitak]

I’m so happy to have the book “State of Mind” by Maurice Bernard ❤️ I know very well about Mental Illness and I have a Son (39) who suffers with this since he’s 18 yrs old., You inspire me and I try to help my son but he has it real bad. Thank you for all you do. May 1,2022 I had the pleasure of seeing GH Fantasy Event with Lisa and others. It was amazing ❤️

[@pdinardo9472]

Olivia, its awesome to see you hanging out with CORINTHOS.!!👍

[@maryannrenzulli2426]

Great Interview, Lisa and Maurice are very deep, off the set, so they truly understand each other. and Yes nothing wrong with a Good Cry! ....I love Lisa she is the "Italian Princess" on GH; she reminds me of the Beautiful (Italian actress; Gina Lollabrigida, she can be so down to earth,one minute, and the next be the raging Italian Brooklyn Momma!! all fired up!! I Love her for that! because it's so real!! and when she makes her Italian dishes, 🍜 oh that just makes it more real!!! We need more of that on the Soaps...and she Owns It!!! ❤❤

[@BobbyinTn]

Love this episode. I think Lisa is an incredible actress and now know she’s an incredible human.

[@barrylittleton6504]

Great show Maurice! I've been a fan of hers since first seeing her playing a Klingon on Star Trek Voyager in 2000! Really appreciating the Spiritual aspect that is being addressed here.

[@toniidowu6428]

Thank You Maurice for another great interview. Thank you Lisa. I just love you. You’re so real and loving. What you said about a mother’s love is so true. I have experienced a little of the spirituality you felt. Touching the spirit realm is fascinating and frightening all at the same time. It lets us know there is a higher power we must answer to. Thank you and God bless both of you ♥️

[@rebeccaweigel725]

Enough is enough bring Sunny home!!!!👍🙂go gh win big at Emmys!

[@jerryscott9121]

I enjoy this channel, an avid fan of the show, and of you two as people. Keep up the great work.

[@MegaBurnzie]

Another fantastic interview Maurice.........Lisa was great. I agree with Lisa. Habitat for Humanity is an AMAZING ORGANIZATION. I did a build in conjunction with the Jimmy Carter work project in Chaing Mai Thailand with both former president Jimmy Carter and Mrs. Carter with 3000 volunteers from around the WORLD. A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE.

[@hondaemployee632]

She is so beautiful

[@marannferranti918]

[@charlenemedlin143]

I love Maurice! Have ever since he played Nico Kelly and I commend him for having this channel and using his platform for mental health he's my hero for that

[@suziedavis3206]

This is a great episode. I am a huge GH fan and finally decided to sit down and start watching your "State of Mind" here. We all need a little help from someone willing to care enough to show it and you are a great person to do so. Thank you for doing these and look forward to more episodes on here! Oh and Lisa, you were great as well and love your character to on GH!

[@4Dotzopp]

Thank you Maurice for another great show. I will stop stopping myself from crying 😢.

[@EnzoPontrelli]

Terrific Interview Maurice

[@danaherrera6978]

Great interview I love Lisa she’s talented as an actor and now after this interview she’s an amazing insightful person. Thanks Maurice for bringing her on as your guest.

[@overcoffeemeditativemoment8084]

🌅🐦🌲🐐Yes, there is definitely something to be said for Being out in The Great Out of Doors... The fresh air helps in blowing away staleness.. ...while providing for a healing of the senses 🐐🌲🐦🌅

[@angelablackmore9218]

Good job 2 people having a great conversation

[@wolfgangproductions7402]

I got to watch your show today it always makes me feel better. I’m trying to adjust my life after my Pomeranian Wolfgang died on May 2 2021 . I have been very unmotivated to do anything I just stare in space in disbelief of losing my best friend. Thx for listening. Great show

[@laurasalvador3568]

So sorry to hear about your sweet Wolfgang 😢🙏🏻. It’s so hard to loose your Bestie but it will get better and hopefully someday you can fill your ❤️ again with a new bestie. 😊 it’s a wonderful feeling to love another pet. It fills your ❤️when you’re ready. 👍

[@wolfgangproductions7402]

@@laurasalvador3568 yes I’m so lonely in my apartment the sound of silence is much too loud….

[@jodyschintgen4825]

Love hearing from Lisa and especially you Maurice

[@roselocastro570]

just love her Lisa

[@katkohler]

Love seeing this side of you guys! Lisa, so true about treating the whole person. Must address the spirit! This past year was so hard for so many people. I was teaching Life coaches through the pandemic and it was an eye- opener from a teaching perspective. It has taken a special responsibility for leaders to support others AND being wise to the support that we need for ourselves to continue to be in the public eye. Thank you for your transparency and wisdom!

[@Shakashack2022]

Wow loved Lisa’s authentic share abt her ayahuasca experience. Grateful. And I just so happen am donating furniture to Habitat’s Restore. 👍🏼 Great State of Mind!

[@reallauramaustin]

Postpartum can be crippling and long lived. Mine was horrible for a full year. Only once I began to recover could I look back and see how sick I had been. Nightmare.

[@catherinerodriguez4598]

You never disappoint Maurice. Thank you.👵🌹

[@lisalocicerofan9387]

My GH favorites. THANK YOU again for doing this. 💖 I love you both!

[@PristineSpace]

I have always enjoyed and loved Lisa as Oliva on GH! She is a natural and fun too watch! I always wondered if we are related as I have cousins who are Locicero´s. Please ask her Maurice if she has family in Toronto? 😍🙏

[@hollycuellar3601]

I love this one. It was very emotional and good. You did it again Maurice.

[@justinepurdham7128]

Wow! What an awesome SOM! I just loved hearing about Lisa's experiences with Ayahuasca. Maurice, you and Lisa really share such a beautiful friendship! God Bless you both ❤️🙏

[@mimimatias12179]

Her experience scared the hell out of me! Pretty scary. I never heard of it but it is definitely nothing I would ever think of trying. Glad it worked for her. Love Lisa!

[@Leopardess007]

Awesome show. Please have Lisa back on SOM.

[@rhondagrider4803]

Mr BENARD i ALWAYS ENJOY your STATE OF MIND and you and MISS LOCICERO on "GH". GOD BLESS YOU BOTH, your families and your "GENERAL HOSPITAL" FAMILY.

My husband of 14 or so years,.... it’s a long story ,.... prayer , get up when I fall and the love for my son is why I’m still breathing,... if I couldn’t get to my son all the fury of hell couldn’t contain me,.. I don’t have friend to go do things with no more, I put my all into my son,.... man anxiety sucks,.. the hardest fight in my life has always been depression,.. but ,..... dang,... sorry,.... your right,. What ever helps to find your self and stay grounded you got to do,.. I take wellButron if I spelt that right, but it truly helps me put things on the back burner,.. you both are awesome,..

...just to share in thought Yes, sometime medication is of need. I think some perhaps not realize that Luke (Luke in the Bible, not Luke of Luke and Laura) Was a physician...

[@shirleyleon3654]

A beautiful interview.

[@CindyDC]

So cool

[@analopezfinneran1411]

Love ❤️

[@aprilbaby4071]

What a great episode its not easy opening up appreciate you both.

[@lonniebooker970]

Awesome Maurice! The Good News is that the Nurse's Ball 2022 is around the corner due to Covid-19 and GH hasn't had a Nurse's Ball due to Covid-19 was very overwhelming. Let's hope for the best that Nurse's Ball is expecting to return for next year. As Michael "Sonny" Corinthos, He'll soon regain his old memories that he lost and your character has been around for 28 years and still going strong. I also hope for the best for your old GH Co-star Mr. Anthony Geary and himself could possibly be coming back once more as Luke Spencer and Mr. Tony Geary is still the best Lucas Lorenzo Spencer ever on the soaps after winning 8 Daytime Emmys and himself does deserve lots of mad respect and himself should be nominated for the possible Daytime Emmys Lifetime Achievement Award for him to take home as a compromise.

[@leoniemckenzie5345]

Good morning, Mr C, Oliva is just Oliva she spoke to you like a real professional, genuine mother, your Ex girlfriend so real O my goodness you two are wholesome 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🙏🏾❤❤❤well done Mr C and baby mama. Dante Falconry

[@craiggallagher2729]

Awesome!!!

[@flaspring]

Lisa was Amazing in those scene

[@CindyDC]

GH is my family ❤️

[@randinatkowitz2487]

I’m an extremely sensitive person and I tend to cry very easily. I’ve cried a few times at work and my boss actually gets mad at me or makes fun of it. She’s a woman and I’ve seen her cry before, so why does it make it not ok if I do?

[@violet9853]

She's just not woke!!!

[@TheTwiztidRose]

That is so wrong, I'm sorry you go through that bullying.

[@jabjab4434]

She's uncomfortable . Probably not just you that she's uncomfortable with , but everyone who express emotion . It's all good.

[@lisalevenson9600]

Yes Lisa, from Lisa eat all feelings!🙏👍🤗🤗💋💋💞

[@flaspring]

Amen sis

[@suelanglois7322]

Loved this so much… true friendship and trust on display.

[@andreahall7610]

Thank you Maurice and Lisa for a great episode. Lisa hit the nail on the head when she said handing someone a Kleenex is so wrong when they cry. I want to just smack them.

[@flaspring]

Absolutely

[@flaspring]

Gracias
