General Hospital Star Maurice Benard Manages To Sit Down With An Icon
Maurice has been interviewing some of the biggest stars in the soap world for his YouTube series on mental health. In fact, he recently welcomed bestselling author Laura Day for a candid conversation about anxiety and grief.
And while he’s seen some major confessions on his show, he’s probably never seen someone so transparent and so real as The Young and the Restless star Eric Braeden (Victor Newman).
Maurice even shared a little preview of their chat on his social media accounts and captioned it with, “One look through the curtain. A front row he recognized. Then the thought that he didn’t belong there.”
“Eric Braeden’s memory of Broadway makes the distance between looking confident and feeling confident very human. Hear him tell Maurice how that moment felt.”
He added, “From an earlier State of Mind conversation, returning in full Sunday, October 25 at 1:00 PM ET on the show’s YouTube channel.”
Maurice has also spoken with General Hospital star Chris McKenna about childhood acting struggles and stage fright on State of Mind.

Maurice Benard Sits Down With The Legendary Eric Braeden
Meanwhile, Maurice has been hoping to get some A-list names on his show to talk about mental health, but that just hasn’t happened yet.
Maurice has never been shy about discussing his own mental health, either. He previously opened up about why he wouldn’t replace his lithium treatment with dietary changes during another State of Mind conversation.
Not only that, but a lot of people believe that Maurice is doing everything he can to be a talk show host, but just hasn’t gotten the offers he was hoping to get by now.
If that weren’t enough, Maurice reached out to Joe Rogan over the summer in the hopes that he can get Joe or even Dana White to appear on his YouTube mental health series, State of Mind.
Talk about some big names there, right?
General Hospital airs weekdays on the ABC network. Check your local listings for times. Watch this space as we have a feeling there is so much more to come.
Annemarie’s Take
I think Maurice deserves credit for getting Eric Braeden to open up about something so personal. Eric has always seemed incredibly confident on screen, so hearing him talk about feeling like he didn’t belong is fascinating. I’d love to see Maurice bring even more daytime legends onto State of Mind. Sometimes these conversations tell us more about the actors than years of watching them on television!
