@@MBStateOfMind Are we ever going to ever see a GH spinoff with you titled Sonny. Now that would be great! With a 2 hour prime time movie premiere!😉🙏👍📺
Love Chad and love how much he has grown up on G H n is A Great Actor love his Role as Michael hes so honest n so open minded he must come a great family he has so much Respect thats comes the parents old school thats how i was brought up love him n Willow on gh Love him n Sonny as Father n son on gh so great bond this is so Great Maurice love state of mind Great interveiw❤❤😊😊
I’ve loved “Michael” then I’ve loved hating him. 😂 Seriously, he’s good at being a great guy then he flips and is just vindictive and vengeful. Great acting!
Maurice, you hit it you got it right there is no respect by anyone today. I am very happy you brought the subject up and I am going to share this on Facebook because the generation we have today the young people do not have respect or their parents don’t have respect and I don’t understand that because when I was growing up we had to have respect. Thank you I love your show❤
This interview was so great On so many levels. -I was watching Tabitha Brown yesterday, and she said that we are in a time where "We are losing respect, for Human Kind". More and More people are not humans, they are images.
I love Maurice and he make you feel as tho those kids are actually his. I love their bond, and thanks a lot Maurice, for the first time, i cried during Kristina scene when she found Brando. You are an amazing dad, on and off screen.
I love Chad Duell. He's such a great actor and seems like an awesome, caring person. For myself, Chad has made Michael the character he is today which I love to see how he's developed as his own man. So, when they recast Duell with this other guy(who I'm sure is a great actor), he's not Michael. Every time I'd see him I'd find myself saying, "Who's this guy"? I wait to see Sonny and Michael back to loving each and not fighting. Great acting from both you guys!
I also recently experienced some serious health issues, as well as dealing with a break up. Chad is exactly right. Self care and taking advantage of being given a second chance is vital in those situations. 💛
This was so good. I thought his first interview was impressive. This blew me away. A lot of people have the wrong impression about him. It’s not fair. Chad’s so honest and insightful. I’m so happy he’s doing better health wise and in his personal life. He’s been phenomenal as Michael since he first appeared. There’s nobody else that can play Michael Corinthos III like Chad. I love the dynamic between the two of you. It really feels like a father and son bond.
I'm so glad you had him back. This interview seemed so deep and personal. He really shared a lot of wisdom. It's nice if we all just take the time to listen, age really doesn't matter. We can all learn so much from one another. It helps everyone heal. Terrific job as always Maurice! Have a fantastic week! Cya next week!
Wow! That was scary what Chad went through with his heart. My husband just had open heart surgery 6 weeks ago and then caught Covid 3 days after he left the hospital! Then I caught it from him! Thankfully the symptoms didn't land us in the hospital- were mainly mild. But was really worried about him due to just having major surgery. So far so good though for both of us. Paxlovid helped me get over it in a week! I sure hope we don't get anything like that from Covid!!! Wishing him the best and a full recovery. (Take plenty of vitamins and try gluten free. It makes a huge difference in attaining better health.) Always enjoy your podcasts Maurice. I feel like we all friends since I've watched this and GH for so long. Wishing you the best too. Have a great week. 💓
So glad Chad shared. He is so right in the end how we love is all that matters. How we treat those in our path. Thanks Chad an Maurice. I have watched you both it has brought me joy. Thanks Maurice Jennifer 🤗
I’m so glad that he told us what happened to him… There’s so many rumors and things that I’m glad he just clarified it plus I think that even helps people because I called up my friend who had something similar symptoms the doctor did not diagnose it. And it sounds exactly like what Chad had. Great talk loved this episode.❤
Thank you for having Chad on again. I love the camaraderie that you have together, being serious about health/mental issues, but joking around some as well. I would love to see Chad cohost occasionally with you when you are interviewing others. The last few questions he asked you prove that he could absolutely do it. I would also love to see your interviews last a little longer. It always seems like there is more to say.
Thank you, Chad, for explaining why you come & go on set. I assumed it was Covid at first, then thought it couldn’t keep happening so you must have something else or a possible project on the side. God keep you safe & heal you. Very glad you’re taking care of yourself. Much ❤️
I’m grateful for Chad’s openness with Maurice 💜 What a great actor. I pray he continues to have good health. Please no more Covid shots. The results now are coming out. God bless🙏
Looking forward to this episode Mr. Benard. Great chemistry on GH. Love the characters of Sonny and Michael. Two epic actors and human beings. Much continued success with GH and State of Mind. Always look forward to another banger interview. Have a wonderful Sunday Mr. Benard. 💪💪😎😎👑👑
Hi, Sonny,and Michael ( Maurice, and Chad). You two are great on General Hospital. I have been watching the show for years! It only gets better with time.
I can't thank you and Chad enough for sharing this with us all. I learned more Chad. Got insight and advice i wasn't expecting. You're love and friendship shines through.
Chad really touched my heart. The mother in me wanted to take him home a while before he fully finds where he wants to go on his own. :) To think you're dying and be basically alone...I wish him good healing and a continued successful life and career. Breathe deeply Chad, deeply and and slowly, you're doing great as a human being, and you deserve to be gentle with yourself. I was really glad to get to know him a bit better here. Thanks for a good interview. Especially thanks for being part of a show over 50 years old because of pure talent and good entertainment (well mostly, but I'm not going into so and so against so and so today) 😉
Pretty much everything I wanted to say here. I'm so sorry Chad had to go through all this. I didn't know why he was absent. Such life wisdom at a young age. THIS is what he's doing with his Blank Spaces (Taylor Swift) and it's Not Nothing. Thanks so much -best interview of late!
Admittedly, I’m late to the party finding this but I have watched how your characters have evolved through the years, two of my favorites I might add. The bond you have with each other comes through. It’s a beautiful thing.
I remember seeing Chad on gh the first time he was a good actor but now he is amazing. He remained me of Jonathan jackson at the time and he still does . Keep doing what your doing Chad.
It's cool to see Chad again .He is Michael .Love that you two are good friends in real life .Would love to see Eden who plays Josselyn on your show also how about Lexi who plays your daughter Christina . You seem real close to her .
God bless and keep you always, Chad. Stay healthy. Monitor and be present with your health. We've missed you during your time away. I am a long time fan and watcher of General Hospital, since a very young girl.
I think there is a blatant disregard for respect in general today, regardless of what anyone does for a living. We live in a "say whatever you want, do whatever you want" mentality today with no thought to how what you say or do impacts another person. I have seen this going on in all different age brackets. Because people have a great tendency to walk around completely unconscious. They lead with their ego. And I think this is also learned behavior. No one comes into the world this way. We are TAUGHT by who and what has the most influence on us. If we're really paying attention, we get to a point in our lives where we begin to rethink the negativity. Our parents are the first real, tangible influences in our lives. Sometimes what we learn from them is beneficial and some of it isn't. I don't think we do the deep dive into all that until we have had enough life experiences. Great interview! 💌🕉
Great interview. I especially noticed what he was saying about taking the time to sit alone with yourself with no constant distractions to feel & understand what you're going through & reflect on what you want to change in becoming the kind of person you want to be. It's definitely a challenge because of how painful this can be & the way the world is increasingly with distractions galore.
Exactly. This is an example of why some events in life are both a blessing and a curse. Chad doesn't know how many people he is helping by sharing openly. God Bless him💜
Thank you, I'm 73yrs old and caught your State of Mind. I suffer from a brain injury: everyday is a different day. So much of all that I heard is my life. I never know what the day is going to be like, good, bad are I'm going to act like a total idiot. So watching several of your shows were just awesome and just what I needed. I also watch your show...one of my favorites. Once again thank you and God bless.
I had to watch this one twice I can so relate !brought me to tears last couple years have been such a struggle w/ Covid and my husband having a triple bypass and spending time in the hospital stay strong Chad & in prayer may God bless you and keep u well🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Maurice and Chad you can really tell you enjoy talking to each other because the time flies by very quickly and that's good and you can see that on screen too when Michael and Sonny's not fighting that is
Amazing talented, insightful, young man. I loved that he not only talked but he also asked questions. Maurice, you are without a doubt the sexist & the most handsome, always have been!! Another honest & awesome conversation.💌🦋
Absolutely loved today's show Yes Maurice I have been subscribed for years .anyway Chad it was a great interview you really opened up and you're on the right track to healing both physically and mentally Love you guys
Great to see Chad! Love both of you! ❤️ I don’t really like that Michael and Sonny are at odds but you both are playing the scenario so well. Hope to see Sonny and Michael make up. I’m guessing it will get much worse before it gets better. I’m a 3rd generation fan! My Mom and Grandmother watched GH from the start. I’ve been watching since I was a kid.
Brenda - I was just telling my parents that I, as a Gen X, am the last generation to be watching these. “Days” went off of network TV & that leaves three. I don’t know of any millennial watching soaps. I’ve asked around nobody! Maybe if they have a friend playing on one? We may actually see the ending of all soaps. Huge bummer! Also, I agree completely with what you said about the two characters. It’ll probably get worse before it gets better & they’re playing it up good. Can’t wait for them to be a family again. He needs to except Sonny’s choice & move on. This is the side of Michael I don’t like, which also proves how well he can act.
I have loved Chad's character from day one he really made Michael his own in the beginning I mean those scenes in the courtroom and in prison amazing!!! All the stuff he did with you, Laura, and Steve Burton 💯
I've been watching G.H. for 43 yrs. I just love you all. A few times when I was unable for some reason to watch the show for a week or two I would actually miss you all. lol. I enjoyed listening to your discussion ,it was so interesting . I never realized how you are affected by various aspects of your jobs
This was another excellent talk with Chad. I am so glad you are feeling better Chad. It is pretty shitty when it takes feeling so lousy and you figure out what is important to you. Good lesson.
This was insightful and fun to watch. You two have such great rapport. Chad so young to have such wise advise. But he’s so right. One cannot fairly give to another u til they deal with what’s hurt them. Thank you gentlemen for a really great episode. This one shows how your relationship is such a good one.
When he was speaking about distractions , leading up to the comment about them being the dessert, that really resonated with me. Needed that today. I usually don't post but he made for a very good interview.
I'm an older man and I have to say is in this interview, you both brought raw content that a lot of men need to see. As a person who is dealing with his own mental health, I am thankful to listen and learn from someone else, the struggles and the process to becoming the best person you can be. Chad, may God continue to work in your life and heal you with constant growth. Maurice, thank you brother for giving us this place to see that we all can benefit from other people's journey into mental health awareness and a place to feel safe in sharing something so personal.
This was awesome, Maurice! Love Chad. What a great interview! Good for him taking time for himself and not jumping right back into a relationship. It will likely make his next relationship, when it DOES happen, so much better for both him and for the other person. Catching up on some of the SOM episodes I haven't seen yet. Love it.
I'm so glad this was my first time watching State of Mind. It was very enlightening. I have been watching GH since Audrey and Steve. It is nice to see and hear your real stuggles and how you deal with them with wisdom and humour. All the best on your jouney Chad. See you two on GH.
Hi Maurice😊 I have watched General Hospital since I was like five so this is over 50 years! I am a content creator/hairdresser/artist! But I always make time to pop in and see what’s happening on GH! You are a wonderful actor, have enjoyed the show for many many years! Have a wonderful day! Tonya
A growth mindset will serve you well in life and that is what you are describing vs a fixed mindset (when someone feels they have nothing more to learn, it can come across as arrogant). When I started in my career I also learned everything I could from the people who were more experienced. I couldn't get enough. That is how I eventually (30 years later) became a master too. Maurice thank you for this channel. My best friend died a year ago from suicide and she was bi polar. I learned so much from you over the past year, especially in your interviews with Kirstin and Leslie. Thank you. Love you both. Chad you are an amazing young man, and you are prioritizing yourself and your wellbeing. That is the very definition of a growth mindset attitude.
i love Chad duell he is such an phenomenal and incurable actor he does such amazing job playing Michael. I love the two characters of Sonny and Michael you two have such great chemistry on GH as father and son This interview seemed so deep and personal, he shared a lot of wisdom.Cant wait to see those scenes Maurice that you were talking about
Loved the interview as always great stuff Maurice, but so needed. Chad is amazing as Michael and he’s why I came back to the show. Michael and Willow’s story was so good, so different. It so wasn’t the same with Robert in the scenes and was hard to miss Chad is recent Michael scenes- but hearing how seriously ill he was changes things. Chad being in the hospital with myocarditis sounds incredibly scary and it’s sad to think those who called for him to be replaced never considered the real person affected, no wonder he’s not on social media as much. Chad’s openness about how that health scare and his breakup changed his mentality was so good and so needed for others to hear. Be present in your relationships, coasting and checking out (video games, etc) are signs that there’s something wrong, the routine is comfortable, but if you’re not growing it’s not good. Chad seems very grounded, but he’s just as susceptible to it as others. Both he and Courtney seem to be on that long journey to accepting themselves, she’s posted similar things, but hope they both can find joy and happiness again. It’s scary to be alone. I hope he can travel again soon. Thanks Maurice for holding space for these kind of conversations, so much good stufff in here, keep them up! So glad Chad is back and the upcoming scenes sound incredible- the show needs to treat the late 20’s to 30 year olds as adults, not as children, Michael is a father himself now- so while this is painful to see it should be amazing once the story unfolds!! ❤
I’ll be watching while on our 23 Anniversary trip to Arizona and Vegas!! Wooo!!! Can’t wait! Thanks for keeping me on the straight and narrow!! Wouldn’t be able to be on this trip, without YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! 🙏🏻🥰✌️💕💕💜🎉✈️❤️🥰👍👍
Agree!! We need to see more of it! Loved how they were best friends first and there for each other before it ever turned romantic, I thought how Chad talked about not letting people know when he was sick resonated as I hate that Willow is keeping it from Michael. It is realistic to just wish things were “ok” and pretend they are to yourself sometimes.
Chad. You did the right thing leaving the hospital. I was in a rehab with brain injury patients and I didn't have a brain injury. I couldn't sleep and started hallucinating. My friend told me to get the hell out of there, which I did. It made all the difference in the world. I wish you all the best and a complete healing and recovery.
I love it when your guests really open up like Chad did, I think I may have told you before but just in case I haven't, I think the fact that your so open and make it feel like a conversation more then an interview is why your guests do open up so much, loved the end part when you let Chad ask you questions, hope to see that again, anyways , fantastic job Maurice. Look forward to the next time.
Omg! You both are amazing ! Love seeing Chad again and such an mature smart conversation! He is so emotional mature . I loved it plus love seeing you both joke and laugh! Love your sense of humor too! You make me laugh and smile all the time!❤❤
Great interview I absolutely love this Chad duell is such a wonderful and talented actor he does an wonderful job playing Micheal you two have the best chemistry as Father and son on GH you both are my absolute favorite characters on the show.
I really needed this state of mind right now. I’m also in that single, isolation, reevaluating life stage in my life and this conversation gave me the extra push I need to keep going❤️
Both very right on this generation . Chad is and always will be a great actor, Having Maurice as a huge mentor is one of life’s greatest gift, loved this episode
Love you Maurice Benard you are the best actor on general hospital god bless you
It’s so wonderful to see Chad GROWING, not only on the show but as a person!!! He’s in an amazing actor and I’m sure a great human being! 🙏🏾
Thank You
@@MBStateOfMind Are we ever going to ever see a GH spinoff with you titled Sonny. Now that would be great! With a 2 hour prime time movie premiere!😉🙏👍📺
He seems unhappy ,but as you say may be growing as a person,which will make him happier
Love Chad and love how much he has grown up on G H n is A Great Actor love his Role as Michael hes so honest n so open minded he must come a great family he has so much Respect thats comes the parents old school thats how i was brought up love him n Willow on gh Love him n Sonny as Father n son on gh so great bond this is so Great Maurice love state of mind Great interveiw❤❤😊😊
Chad has done a great job playing Michael, He's unreal
he has made the character HIS
I’ve loved “Michael” then I’ve loved hating him. 😂 Seriously, he’s good at being a great guy then he flips and is just vindictive and vengeful. Great acting!
❤
I love the old Michael not the new character who hates his dad Sony. I want to see the whole family back together
Wow I want to hear it all!!!
Maurice, you hit it you got it right there is no respect by anyone today. I am very happy you brought the subject up and I am going to share this on Facebook because the generation we have today the young people do not have respect or their parents don’t have respect and I don’t understand that because when I was growing up we had to have respect. Thank you I love your show❤
Thank You 😊
TRUTH AMEN!!!
This interview was so great On so many levels.
-I was watching Tabitha Brown yesterday, and she said that we are in a time where "We are losing respect, for Human Kind". More and More people are not humans, they are images.
😢😢😢😢😢😢
I love Maurice and he make you feel as tho those kids are actually his. I love their bond, and thanks a lot Maurice, for the first time, i cried during Kristina scene when she found Brando. You are an amazing dad, on and off screen.
Thanks 😊
Yesssssss
I love Chad Duell. He's such a great actor and seems like an awesome, caring person. For myself, Chad has made Michael the character he is today which I love to see how he's developed as his own man.

❤
has there been anybody that has appearred from the cast of the wizards of waverly place in general hospital besides chad duell?
So impressive, so much wisdom for a young man. Praying for God to restore his health completely.
Thank You
I’m so proud to hear Chads’ story, he’s a good man❤
This is a great one for sure!
I also recently experienced some serious health issues, as well as dealing with a break up. Chad is exactly right. Self care and taking advantage of being given a second chance is vital in those situations. 💛
❤
Phenomenal interview with Chad Duell! I could listen to him talk ALL DAY! Love you both.
This was so good. I thought his first interview was impressive. This blew me away. A lot of people have the wrong impression about him. It’s not fair. Chad’s so honest and insightful. I’m so happy he’s doing better health wise and in his personal life. He’s been phenomenal as Michael since he first appeared. There’s nobody else that can play Michael Corinthos III like Chad. I love the dynamic between the two of you. It really feels like a father and son bond.
Two of my daytime fav's in one interview! Glad Chad is feeling better. Can't wait to see those scenes Maurice was talking about.
Coming up
Great episode! Sorry to hear what Chad went through and hoping he soon feels as good as new!!
Great interview! Wishing Chad great health and happiness on this journey he's on. Love him as Michael!!!
I'm so glad you had him back. This interview seemed so deep and personal. He really shared a lot of wisdom. It's nice if we all just take the time to listen, age really doesn't matter. We can all learn so much from one another. It helps everyone heal. Terrific job as always Maurice! Have a fantastic week! Cya next week!
Thank You
I am so glad Chad is ok. He is my favorite I love him. I wish him the best!
Wow! That was scary what Chad went through with his heart. My husband just had open heart surgery 6 weeks ago and then caught Covid 3 days after he left the hospital! Then I caught it from him! Thankfully the symptoms didn't land us in the hospital- were mainly mild. But was really worried about him due to just having major surgery. So far so good though for both of us.

Always enjoy your podcasts Maurice. I feel like we all friends since I've watched this and GH for so long.
Wishing you the best too. Have a great week. 💓

So glad Chad shared. He is so right in the end how we love is all that matters. How we treat those in our path. Thanks Chad an Maurice.
I have watched you both it has brought me joy.
Thanks Maurice Jennifer 🤗
Thank You
I’m so glad that he told us what happened to him… There’s so many rumors and things that I’m glad he just clarified it plus I think that even helps people because I called up my friend who had something similar symptoms the doctor did not diagnose it. And it sounds exactly like what Chad had. Great talk loved this episode.❤
😊
myocarditis is a side effect of the covid vaccine. Look it up.
Thank you for having Chad on again. I love the camaraderie that you have together, being serious about health/mental issues, but joking around some as well. I would love to see Chad cohost occasionally with you when you are interviewing others. The last few questions he asked you prove that he could absolutely do it. I would also love to see your interviews last a little longer. It always seems like there is more to say.
Thank You
I'm really happy that Chad is doing well and he's back on GH. He's great as Michael. Awesome interview, Maurice!
Chad is such a great talent no better person to play Micheal and the chemistry he has with both Laura and Maurice is just amazing
Yesssssss
Chad is the best Michael ever!
Yes yes 👍🏽
I totally agree
1000%!!!
No
Yes he is
This was a FANTASTIC episode! I love Mini-Mo! Chad is such a great actor and person. Thank you for this one and can’t wait for the next!!!!
Thank you, Chad, for explaining why you come & go on set. I assumed it was Covid at first, then thought it couldn’t keep happening so you must have something else or a possible project on the side. God keep you safe & heal you. Very glad you’re taking care of yourself. Much ❤️
Thank You
What a fantastic show. Really enjoyed the depth and honesty from both of you.
I’m grateful for Chad’s openness with Maurice 💜 What a great actor. I pray he continues to have good health. Please no more Covid shots. The results now are coming out. God bless🙏
They were forced or lose their jobs. I would've left like the two actors that did just that.
Looking forward to this episode Mr. Benard. Great chemistry on GH. Love the characters of Sonny and Michael. Two epic actors and human beings. Much continued success with GH and State of Mind. Always look forward to another banger interview. Have a wonderful Sunday Mr. Benard. 💪💪😎😎👑👑
It was a great interview
Hi, Sonny,and Michael ( Maurice, and Chad). You two are great on General Hospital. I have been watching the show for years! It only gets better with time.
I can't thank you and Chad enough for sharing this with us all. I learned more Chad. Got insight and advice i wasn't expecting. You're love and friendship shines through.
Oh my goodness, this was great, I’m so glad you are ok now,Chad. Great interview, Maurice ❤
I too have gotten a long term disease but not from covid from the vaccines
Chad is a breath of fresh air! You’re a very smart young man 😊
Very smart young man 😊❤

Thanks
A whole new level of respect for Chad!! Makes sense so glad you are better! Thanks for sharing

Maurice Benard is still THE finest man EVER! Those eyes.
Thanks
AGREED❣️🤩😍
It's his dimples.
Absolutely! It's the smile and dimples 🙂
YES HE IS I HOPE HE DOESN’T RETIRE ANYTIME SOON💜🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I can’t believe how Chad’s voice is nothing like his characters voice. Great actor ❤
Admittedly, I’m late to the party finding this but I have watched how your characters have evolved through the years, two of my favorites I might add. The bond you have with each other comes through. It’s a beautiful thing.
I remember seeing Chad on gh the first time he was a good actor but now he is amazing. He remained me of Jonathan jackson at the time and he still does . Keep doing what your doing Chad.
Thank You
Evening maurice your welcome just wanted to now if you are going to have Jonathan jackson on your show
I’m so happy Chad that you’re doing well God bless you. I was worried that u left the show
Great show as always Maurice. Chad Duell is a really cool dude.

Absolutely loved today's show Yes Maurice I have been subscribed for years .anyway Chad it was a great interview you really opened up and you're on the right track to healing both physically and mentally Love you guys
Thanks 😊
Great to see Chad! Love both of you! ❤️ I don’t really like that Michael and Sonny are at odds but you both are playing the scenario so well. Hope to see Sonny and Michael make up. I’m guessing it will get much worse before it gets better.
I’m a 3rd generation fan! My Mom and Grandmother watched GH from the start. I’ve been watching since I was a kid.
Brenda - I was just telling my parents that I, as a Gen X, am the last generation to be watching these. “Days” went off of network TV & that leaves three. I don’t know of any millennial watching soaps. I’ve asked around nobody! Maybe if they have a friend playing on one? We may actually see the ending of all soaps. Huge bummer! Also, I agree completely with what you said about the two characters. It’ll probably get worse before it gets better & they’re playing it up good. Can’t wait for them to be a family again. He needs to except Sonny’s choice & move on. This is the side of Michael I don’t like, which also proves how well he can act.
Thanks 😊
Great to hear from Chad and awesome that Chad asked Maurice questions at the end!!!! Great interview!
I love Chad! I really enjoyed seeing him again. Please, continue bringing more GH actors. I love hearing you speak with them- ask the questions! ❤
Yea ❤
I have loved Chad's character from day one he really made Michael his own in the beginning I mean those scenes in the courtroom and in prison amazing!!! All the stuff he did with you, Laura, and Steve Burton 💯
I've been watching G.H. for 43 yrs. I just love you all. A few times when I was unable for some reason to watch the show for a week or two I would actually miss you all. lol. I enjoyed listening to your discussion ,it was so interesting . I never realized how you are affected by various aspects of your jobs
This was another excellent talk with Chad. I am so glad you are feeling better Chad. It is pretty shitty when it takes feeling so lousy and you figure out what is important to you. Good lesson.
😊
Love the conversation from Chad, to get to know yourself. So wise, & mature. To make the decision to grow, & not repeat the same mistakes.
This was insightful and fun to watch. You two have such great rapport.
Chad so young to have such wise advise. But he’s so right. One cannot fairly give to another u til they deal with what’s hurt them.
Thank you gentlemen for a really great episode.
This one shows how your relationship is such a good one.
Thank You
Maurice it all starts at home and the way that we were raised as kids. I was always told to respect my elders.
Thanks
When he was speaking about distractions , leading up to the comment about them being the dessert, that really resonated with me. Needed that today. I usually don't post but he made for a very good interview.
I'm an older man and I have to say is in this interview, you both brought raw content that a lot of men need to see. As a person who is dealing with his own mental health, I am thankful to listen and learn from someone else, the struggles and the process to becoming the best person you can be. Chad, may God continue to work in your life and heal you with constant growth. Maurice, thank you brother for giving us this place to see that we all can benefit from other people's journey into mental health awareness and a place to feel safe in sharing something so personal.
I enjoyed this. Chad is an awesome person.
I’m glad that you are better and I did miss you god bless
This was awesome, Maurice! Love Chad. What a great interview! Good for him taking time for himself and not jumping right back into a relationship. It will likely make his next relationship, when it DOES happen, so much better for both him and for the other person. Catching up on some of the SOM episodes I haven't seen yet. Love it.
Keep watching thank you
I'm so glad this was my first time watching State of Mind. It was very enlightening. I have been watching GH since Audrey and Steve. It is nice to see and hear your real stuggles and how you deal with them with wisdom and humour. All the best on your jouney Chad. See you two on GH.
Hi Maurice😊 I have watched General Hospital since I was like five so this is over 50 years! I am a content creator/hairdresser/artist! But I always make time to pop in and see what’s happening on GH! You are a wonderful actor, have enjoyed the show for many many years! Have a wonderful day! Tonya
Chad, you have the best sense of humor! You’re so funny! Great interview Maurice!
A growth mindset will serve you well in life and that is what you are describing vs a fixed mindset (when someone feels they have nothing more to learn, it can come across as arrogant). When I started in my career I also learned everything I could from the people who were more experienced. I couldn't get enough. That is how I eventually (30 years later) became a master too. Maurice thank you for this channel. My best friend died a year ago from suicide and she was bi polar. I learned so much from you over the past year, especially in your interviews with Kirstin and Leslie. Thank you. Love you both. Chad you are an amazing young man, and you are prioritizing yourself and your wellbeing. That is the very definition of a growth mindset attitude.
Powerful honest from the heart interview with Chad..God Bless your courage..I relate..
i love Chad duell he is such an phenomenal and incurable actor he does such amazing job playing Michael. I love the two characters of Sonny and Michael you two have such great chemistry on GH as father and son This interview seemed so deep and personal, he shared a lot of wisdom.Cant wait to see those scenes Maurice that you were talking about
Thank You
@@MBStateOfMind you're welcome
Loved the interview as always great stuff Maurice, but so needed. Chad is amazing as Michael and he’s why I came back to the show. Michael and Willow’s story was so good, so different. It so wasn’t the same with Robert in the scenes and was hard to miss Chad is recent Michael scenes- but hearing how seriously ill he was changes things. Chad being in the hospital with myocarditis sounds incredibly scary and it’s sad to think those who called for him to be replaced never considered the real person affected, no wonder he’s not on social media as much.
Chad’s openness about how that health scare and his breakup changed his mentality was so good and so needed for others to hear. Be present in your relationships, coasting and checking out (video games, etc) are signs that there’s something wrong, the routine is comfortable, but if you’re not growing it’s not good. Chad seems very grounded, but he’s just as susceptible to it as others. Both he and Courtney seem to be on that long journey to accepting themselves, she’s posted similar things, but hope they both can find joy and happiness again. It’s scary to be alone. I hope he can travel again soon.
Thanks Maurice for holding space for these kind of conversations, so much good stufff in here, keep them up! So glad Chad is back and the upcoming scenes sound incredible- the show needs to treat the late 20’s to 30 year olds as adults, not as children, Michael is a father himself now- so while this is painful to see it should be amazing once the story unfolds!! ❤
Also want to say prayers for Chad and continued healing. I’m so glad you’re healthy now, we missed you! Thanks again Maurice.
Thanks 😊
Good discussion on "respect!"...another good interview, glad to see where Chad is today..growth
Thank You
I’ll be watching while on our 23 Anniversary trip to Arizona and Vegas!! Wooo!!! Can’t wait! Thanks for keeping me on the straight and narrow!! Wouldn’t be able to be on this trip, without YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! 🙏🏻🥰✌️💕💕💜🎉✈️❤️🥰👍👍
Thank You
I SO love Chad, he is so handsome and such a natural actor. His love story with Katelyn/Willow is the best currently on GH
❤❤❤❤
Agree!! We need to see more of it! Loved how they were best friends first and there for each other before it ever turned romantic, I thought how Chad talked about not letting people know when he was sick resonated as I hate that Willow is keeping it from Michael. It is realistic to just wish things were “ok” and pretend they are to yourself sometimes.
I’m glad that everything is ok with you Chad. You are an amazing actor. Satay safe 💙💙 I love when you have Chad on. Love you both please take care 💙💙
Thank You
Love the back and forth between you. Love you both.
Chad. You did the right thing leaving the hospital. I was in a rehab with brain injury patients and I didn't have a brain injury. I couldn't sleep and started hallucinating. My friend told me to get the hell out of there, which I did. It made all the difference in the world. I wish you all the best and a complete healing and recovery.
I love it when your guests really open up like Chad did, I think I may have told you before but just in case I haven't, I think the fact that your so open and make it feel like a conversation more then an interview is why your guests do open up so much, loved the end part when you let Chad ask you questions, hope to see that again, anyways , fantastic job Maurice. Look forward to the next time.
Thank You
Thanks for having Chad back on!! Glad he’s doing well. Can’t wait to see these father & son fights go down on GH!! Love watching you two! ❤
Great interview love the both of you together the honesty and respect you have for one another. Bravo Excellent ❣️❣️❣️
Omg! You both are amazing ! Love seeing Chad again and such an mature smart conversation! He is so emotional mature . I loved it plus love seeing you both joke and laugh! Love your sense of humor too! You make me laugh and smile all the time!❤❤
I think this was one of the best interviews you've done Maurice. It went so quickly.
Thanks 😊
He took the vaccine, read up this is a common side effect among young men, check the verses report.
Great interview I absolutely love this Chad duell is such a wonderful and talented actor he does an wonderful job playing Micheal you two have the best chemistry as Father and son on GH you both are my absolute favorite characters on the show.
Thank you so much for all your interviews!! Love that you had Chad again!! Would love to have Stevie B !! Miss you 3 Together!!
Yes these 3 are the reason I watch GH
I really needed this state of mind right now. I’m also in that single, isolation, reevaluating life stage in my life and this conversation gave me the extra push I need to keep going❤️
Love you Chad thanks for being so open! Sorry to hear all the scares you have been going through. Glad you are feeling better.
Both very right on this generation . Chad is and always will be a great actor, Having Maurice as a huge mentor is one of life’s greatest gift, loved this episode
Welcome back to gh.And I am glad you are recovering😊
You guys are the best. I pray that your character relationship is healed.
