Here is the order of events the best I can explain…
1. I grew up watching Sonny Corinthos played by Maurice Benard on the soap opera General Hospital.
2. Over 25 years later, I meet Cori Birce, my now fiancé. At the beginning of our relationship, I discover that Cori and I share a mutual respect for the Sonny Corinthos character. So much so, that it becomes something we bond over.
3. This August, for Cori’s birthday I make a request on the cameo app for Maurice Benard to do a Happy Birthday shoutout. He actually does it and it’s a big hit !
4. I decide to record a 7 Minute story about this whole thing. My fascination with General Hospital, my idolization of Sonny and how it helped bring Cori and I closer together.
5. I release the 7 Minute Story Thursday August 27th and decide, on a whim, to try and share it with Maurice Benard aka Sonny. Moments later, he sends me a message that he loves my storytelling and wants to share the episode.
6. Maurice shares the 7 Minute Story “Sonny Corinthos” on his Instagram & twitter accounts.
