STATE OF MIND with MAURICE BENARD: EVA LARUE

[@rachelfoley7403]

Eva LaRue is such a sweet open person. I was so sad to hear how John Callahan was struggling. I always liked him and thought he was such a good actor. And Eva was so open talking about her health issues. I wish her a complete recovery with all she is going through. Im sorry you have been having a hard time with your anxiety Maurice. I am sending love and prayers that you start feeling better soon ❤️🙏🥰

[@pamelaparr7088]

I had a crush on Edmund and I laughed so hard when he and Maria jumped on a bed and he obviously was excited to be there with her. It wasn’t always easy to watch her characters, but watching this, she’s really a nice person! Yay!

[@operadoc]

Anxiety is so difficult

[@jwb52z9]

I'm sure many people have said this to you, but you're not alone, Mr. Benard. Your fans love you to bits. I'm sure that it's safe to say that we're all here to listen to anything and everything you need or want to say.

[@JNatale958]

Mr. Bernard I can relate to your condition. My Ex husband was Bi Polar and it’s really hard

[@JNatale958]

And hard on the people who love them

[@sf78310]

Maurice, Prayers for your quick recovery. YOU are in charge of your thoughts! We believe in you! Happy Father’s Day!

[@MBStateOfMind]

Thank you, I will

[@ReneeG-]

Frankie Avalon!!! I have to say this was such a great interview Eva I followed you & Mo since AMC!!! Thank you for sharing your memories John (good/bad) us soap fans love you & John! Happy Father’s Day Maurice!!! ❤❤

[@PatFerreira-v6z]

Eva, I commented before you talked about your health issues of late. I wish you well. Anyone losing so many loved ones, it just has to have an affect on you. So sorry for your pain. You never let this conversation lapse for even a minute. You are the best conversationalist Maurice has had.

[@MBStateOfMind]

❤❤❤❤

[@betsybabf748]

Happy Father's Day Maurice. You are a wonderful father and grandfather that your family is so fortunate to have. My severe anxiety and PTSD has come back hard the past week. It feels like a nonstop panic attack I need a break from just to breathe. Today our kids and I grieve and miss my husband, who we lost to bipolar disorder, on Father's Day, which is not helping. Savor every year you get with that beautiful family of yours!

Happy Father's Day Maurice, feel better soon! You are LOVED Immensely ❤

[@JS-hz5xi]

Maurice, you are loved unconditionally and are always surrounded by Love Itself. Thank you for ALL that you are 💕🌟💕

[@MBStateOfMind]

You are so welcome

[@PhedreGoldshark]

You are not alone in the struggles. I have had two meltdowns in the last two weeks as well. The tougher our battles the better the rewards. I heard a pastor say once that sometimes God puts His children to bed in the dark, once the test is over you will be better than before. You are an inspiration when I go through it. Thank you for all the love and help you give to everyone. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@PhedreGoldshark]

He likes to test us like He did Job. He will take you to the depths of wanting to end your life and then comes the reward because you fought the darkness and survived.

[@jenacacruz]

I just came out of a 6 month battle with anxiety and OCD so incredibly painful. Love and blessings to you. May the love of Christ bring peace to your mind. ❤

I think it is good that you get to talk about your anxiety with a person that is as open and asks questions like her, God Bless

[@cynthiarafn9027]

[@rinavarley954]

I've been medicated for Generalized Anxiety Disorder for 13 years. Getting my diagnosis was a blessing. Validation and medication saved my life. Maurice, thank you for fighting through to keep these interviews coming every Sunday. It's clear you are battling hard. As your Paula says, "Every time you fight, you win." Support is everything. Thank you for showing up...not perfect...but here, showing us the real deal. Maurice, this means more than you know.❤

[@enak8405]

Maurice, Happy Father's Day! You've helped me and so many other people. I am very grateful.

[@rie20100]

Happy Father's Day Maurice! Eva, you have a beautiful spirit. Your honesty and openness is very helpful to many. Thank-you Maurice for interviewing Eva. Much love to you, Eva & to all!❤️❤️

[@devinwilliams400]

Happy Father's Day Mr. Benard. God Bless

[@jwb52z9]

Thank you for explaining Blaze's mother, Ms. Larue. I grew up the youngest son of a lay preacher in Texas, but I'm old enough, and with the kind of life, that coming out wasn't an option before my parents died over the last 2 decades. I feel like my own mother would have been like your character, but worse. My heart breaks as a middle-aged man that some young adults still have to endure this when they can't yet tolerate the consequences of having it out once and for all with parents.

[@mammabearful]

Mr Benard, I like to wish you a Happy Father’s Day. Enjoy your special day.

[@lisette1224]

This episode is so amazing! As a long time anxiety sufferer and just like Eva, gut punched with back to back losses I relate so much. Thank you Maurice for doing this interview-your show is comforting to me and always gives me hope during those rough times. A beautiful reminder that we will be okay. Love everything you do. A huge THANK YOU.

[@mercyfaturoti9861]

Hello Morris, praying for you. Eva, this is one of the open hearted, great interview on State of mind. I have followed Eva for years. I love her. You both take care. God blessings to you.

[@katheleanrichardson883]

God bless you again Marice! You will pull out of your anxiety! God will help you! He haven't brought you this far for you to give in now! We need you to keep doing what you're doing! Saving a lot of lives! God bless you again MR. BERNARD ❤❤

[@MBStateOfMind]

❤❤❤❤

[@marykohler9864]

Great interview with Eva! Grief can destroy you for sure, without you even realizing it. In 2015 lost 4 people close to me, which was traumatic enough; but I have since lost both of my parents in the last 4 years, and sometimes the grief is overwhelming. Maurice, I pray that you get through your latest battle with anxiety. Hang in there.❤🙏❤

[@rosepeddle4940]

Happy Father's Day Maurice. Hope it's a great one♥️🥰

[@cherylmassarelli4699]

I have panic attacks usually coming from a physical thing with me. The good thing is - it always goes away. 🙏💙

Prayers to you Maurice. I've been watching you on GH for more than 20 years. You are a gift to many who are fighting this fight with you! ❤❤❤

Happy Fathers Day Maurice Bernard and I’m praying your anxiety subsides soon! You have helped me with your platform with State of Mind it you’ve helped me enormously with my mental health struggles that I have struggled with since pre teen! Thank you and my family love you & your family

[@christophergarcia8545]

Very helpful to learn that it's the anxiety, Oct, etc...that is genetic and the alcoholism is just the symptom. I am new to the channel and it is impressive.

[@jazzjournal]

Another wonderful informative guest. She’s had some rough times in her life and I’m appreciative of her sharing some of them. Thank you so much for your honesty. Maurice, please keep up the good work. You and your guests help so many people. Thank you❤️

[@ambercruse278]

Dear Maurice, remember "this too shall pass"...my daily mantra. Everyday remind yourself you've made it this far and continue to shine your light on our struggles. We love and appreciate you, Maurice, the human being who brings us peace of mind. Never underestimate the comfort and light State of Mind gives to so many others. ❤ Thank you! Peace and love from 🇨🇦 ps. My son's name is Maurice 😊

[@donnabelmont3879]

This is the first time I have watched State of Mind with Maurice Benard and I am SO IMPRESSED. I was a fan of General Hospital since it's first episode and watching Maurice as Sonny and I was also a Big CSI fan and followed Eva and her character on that show. I am SO GLAD I watched this show and I will most definitely keep on watching now. I too was sad to hear about John Callahan and his struggles. I knew he had passed and I had always had such a big crush on him when he was on All My Children. I will keep Maurice and Eva in my prayers as they deal with their health issues. I thank you Maurice and Eva for such a wonderful episode. God Bless you both.

[@TracyGalligan]

Lost my best friend to alcoholism. He was also my roommate. For the last three years of his life he was incredibly abusive. Since he died, I've felt so guilty and wished I did more. Thank you Maurice for asking the question, "would he have listened?"

[@BethBear-vp1ob]

Happy Father’s Day Maurice!!! I’m sorry you’re having anxiety problems.

[@MichelleCahill-qp9mc]

Wow!!! What an awesome show this week!!! As an ABC soap fan since the late 70's, I loved the interview so much! Maurice, I too have extreme anxiety and depression. I'm not doing well right now either.😢 You are not alone, dealing with this crap!!!! I'm sending all my love and prayers to you. You are an inspiration to me and many others. I know it's an act on TV, but please tell the writers to fix Sonny's medicine, it's really freaking me out!!!! And I'm worried it's affecting you as the actor.

[@myutube1990]

I love Eva LaRue. I started watching CSI because of her. I know that if she's friends with Kelly Ripa, then she's got to be a wonderful person because I know Kelly personally and have known her for over 40 years. So I am thrilled to see her on GH. And I can't wait to see who Natalia becomes as she sculpts her character. Maurice, I suffer from anxiety. It kept me from my potential when I was younger. I have a real hard time being in crowds, so I order my groceries because I can't shop. I am glad to see you pushing through. I know how hard it is. You're on my daily prayer list. God bless. Love you, brother. 😊

[@lorrieellis7762]

Happy Father’s Day ! You’re the best ! Great state of mind with Eva !

[@katheleanrichardson883]

Thank you Eva for going deep with your life experiences !we have learned so much more about you!❤ god bless you 🙏

[@NubianQueen6391]

Great interview!! So happy to see Eva on General Hospital now but I do wonder if she is aging backwards? She looks fabulous, is a great addition to the show and a great choice to play Blaze's mom. Happy Father's Day Maurice!! I pray that your anxiety takes a break and lets you get back to the great work you are doing on and off the screen. God Bless! 🙏🙏🙏

[@paulettesmith4071]

Hello Maurice, Thank you for the interview with Eva LaRue. It was such an interesting interview. Maurice I hope that you feel better. My father suffered from mental illness. He was an alcoholic, and a heavy smoker (Philip Morris cigarettes), he died in his sleep on Father’s Day in 1984; he was 57 years old. Take care Maurice. My prayers are with you.

[@purple_bboop5392]

Hope you had a fantastic Father’s Day, Maurice. I loved this interview tremendously ❤️❤️

[@katheleanrichardson883]

Im so sorry that you lost so many people in your life! My heart gos out to you! Hope you feel better soon! God bless and keep 🙏 you always ❤

One of the best shows she shared so much. We need more people like her and you Maurice talking about anxiety and mental health. Thank you for another great show

[@pamstubbs4699]

She's always been a favorite actress!

[@candiecompton4607]

A Very Emotional Excellent Interview With Eva And She Started On CSI Miami In Season 4 So Yes She Was On That Show A Long Time For 7 Years She Was Recurring Cast For Season 4 And Main Cast For Season's 5 To 10 I Loved Her On That Show Natalia Boa Vista Was My Favorite Character❤:-)

[@prussell243]

Learned a lot from Eva, “don’t shame those who are already ashamed.” 😢 Thank you. Another great SOM.

[@sherribaker9135]

Maurice, You are so not alone in this. I've had severe depression and anxiety for over 25 years and now I'm on some good meds. I think that we need more awareness towards depression,anxiety and panic disorder. It can be a living hell but we're all in this together.💯❤

[@AlanDavidDoane]

This was one of the best, most intimate and honest conversations I've ever seen. Thank you Eva for telling your real story with such fearlessness. I hope your health issues improve soon. And the insights into your character on GH gives me a new appreciation for what you are doing. I'm looking forward to seeing where Natalia goes in the future. Maurice, I hope things are getting better with the struggles you're having now and that you were able to enjoy Father's Day. I've been a father for 31 years and this past weekend was literally the first Father's Day where I wasn't consumed with self-loathing and was in a good enough place to truly enjoy, appreciate and accept the love and appreciation I was shown by my kids and my wife. And I don't know if I would have begun this journey to better mental health without your activism and advocacy. I really mean that. You have done so much good for so many, please take comfort in that and take care of yourself. Thank you for this episode of State of Mind, and for all you do both here and on GH. My wife and I watch every evening on my dinner break and it provides me with an hour break from the daily grind and on Sundays I love watching these discussions. And I know there are countless others just like me who care about you and appreciate all the work you do. Take care of yourself and if you can, when you're ready, let us know how you're doing. You're in the thoughts of everyone watching these incredible and very important conversations.

[@diannekenny9429]

Good show Maurice, i have always liked Eva since she played Maria on AMC!! When I heard she was coming to GH I immediately thought well her and Sonny would looked good together!!😊 Hope Eva stays on!! We also have alot in common with life's struggles and trying to make it through.

[@MrOmega52]

As a fan of AMC, watched it from it's beginning until it ended, I am such a fan of Eva's. I seen the movie about Annette Funicello as well as CSI Miami. Very glad to see her again this time on GH. Hopefully the writers will get her character and soon together. Their could be some interesting storyline with those two.

[@lindaa2437]

To MB, thank you for all you do to bring light to mental health struggles. I am praying for this cloud of anxiety to be lifted from you. To Ms. LaRue, I'm so sorry for all of that loss. Loss is trauma, and you endured a lot of trauma. Thank you for sharing that with us and for NOT being anything like Natalia in real life. May God Bless and comfort both of you. Sending you both so much love and admiration from NY. 🕊🙏💖👋

[@MrOmega52]

We're praying for you, Maurice.

[@patpowell4059]

This was one of the best, most informative State of Minds that I've seen. I so enjoyed the conversation and the insight that Eva provided. Maybe, you can have her on again at some point.❤❤

[@lauriecampbell4567]

Great interview Maurice. As someone whose life has been affected by alcoholism, Eva's insights were most appreciated, especially alcoholism and heart attacks. Her honesty about alcoholism being a contributing cause of John's death may have helped save lives. Now that I look at photos of John post 2015 or so, I recognize some of the telltale signs of his diabetes and alcoholism. Good to know they were on great terms post divorce, and worked through the pain, and were there for their daughter

[@veda6116]

Man this was a good conversation. Love her as an actor, yet this was Wow & so Awesome - thanks SOM, Maurice & Eva you made my Sunday 🥰💃🏽🎉🌹💋
