While General Hospital’s Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos) often discusses mental health issues on social media, he also likes to share fun videos. He recently posted a video with his adorable co-star Scarlett Brielle, who plays Sonny’s Mini-Me daughter, Donna Corinthos. The two of them had a blast and the fans were over the moon after seeing it.
The groove was on
The character of Donna was named after Donna Messina, a makeup artist for the show who died in 2019. Although Donna came into this world having to deal with Spina Bifida, the cute kid has grown and has yet to get into any mischief on the show, and her charm and pleasant demeanor are always fun to watch, especially when Donna and Sonny interact.

Dancing with my TV daughter is just a blast @miss.scarlett.brielle She is something else. 🎁🌹🎁 @generalhospitalabc.
He included a video shot in his dressing room with the song All Star by Smash Mouth playing, and Brielle is seen strutting her funky stuff to the tune. After showing off her moves for a while, she motions for Benard to join her. He couldn’t help but stand up and get his groove on, and the two were totally cute.
His fans agreed that Brielle was adorable, as @melissajstaats responded with high praise:
She’s adorable. I love it when you two have scenes together. She does a wonderful job as Sonny’s daughter.

It wouldn’t be a Benard post without someone endearingly bringing up the topic of mental health, and @devorahelishevalookbook did just that with the reply:
It's kids like that who help our mental health on the hard days 😍. They are just a gift. 👏👏❤️
Brielle’s mother manages her social media accounts and couldn’t help but share the news:
First person she saw was you, and she was SO excited! ❤️ she loves you, @mauricebenard 🥺
Benard, of course, lovingly responded with:
Right back at her.
Another fan, @annie0667, was happy that Benard posted a video enlivening her day:
Omg , I so needed this you two are absolutely adorable and just made my morning thanks for brightening my day. 🙌☀️👏😍🥰❤️
Meanwhile, @gamygipson12 shared her observation of Brielle, who always brings her A-game when she plays Donna, remarking:
I live this so much!! The look on her face when you smiled at her. Complete confidence 👏👏👏👏
And many complimented Benard and Brielle’s sweet dance moves, as @mlmenendez commented:
You both have the moves!! 💃 🕺
It’s always nice to see the soap actors having fun between scenes.
