GH's Maurice Benard gives co-stars a very special message

General Hospital star Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) took a page out of Marilyn Monroe's book with an unforgettable birthday message.

President Kennedy was one of the luckiest men in the world, having had Marilyn Monroe croon a very sweet Happy Birthday in his honor. And General Hospital stars Ava and Grace Scarola (Avery Corinthos) are just as lucky as the former Commander in Chief in soap fans' eyes, because their on-screen father, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos), has given them a pretty special birthday message of their own.

To celebrate the twins' second birthday on April 26, the actor took to Instagram with a video of himself singing the popular Happy Birthday tune. And while he specifically calls out the girls by name, we get the feeling some of you GH fans just might save the sweet video for playback on your own birthdays. Are we right?
