Person incorrectly adding titles and character names are incorrectly credited on General Hospital soap opera

@Bethanny​ Hey! Examples include: On the halloween episode, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt34385152/?ref_=sr_t_7. A quick google search for "Something Safe, Something Familiar" doesn't yield any results, and any TV guide will have the episode untitled. A lot of the episodes from the past year are named even though there are never any episode names that I can find to back them up.

Also, they keep changing crediting Maurice Benard as "Michael Sonny Corinthos Jr." even though the end credits always credit him as Sonny Corinthos. Same for Brook Kerr, Sofia Mattsson, Chad Duell. They are always get renamed to some weird married name or birth name that sometimes isn't even what they go by.

@Bethanny​ Any updates?

Hi @HeartGlow30797​ -

We identified the contributor responsible for the incorrect episode title texts and have taken steps to help prevent this recurring issue.

Cast credit name attribute changes you are seeing, can you confirm an episode title page where you have recently observed this occurring on?

@Michelle​ Hello!, thank you for following up on this. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt34778654/?ref_=tt_ov_ep_nx is an example of many Character Names that are being changed. Maurice Benard's character for example was originally submitted as Sonny Corinthos, which is how they are credited in the end credits. However, it was changed to "Michael 'Sonny' Corinthos Jr." This could be seen as minor, but gets confusing when the actor is credited as playing multiple characters even though they are the same. I think it should be consistent, which should be how they are credited in the end cards.

Another issue is that they have started crediting the head writers twice, even when they are only credited as "written by" in the episode opening credits.

Hi @HeartGlow30797​ -

Thanks for this recent example, I was able to identify the contributor responsible and have initiated an outreach to them to confirm our character name guidelines.

For the duplicate Writer credits issue, do you have a recent episode example where you observed this happening?

@Michelle​ I have been monitoring the pages and have found no more issues with whoever the person/people were who were adding incorrect information. I hope this remains the case. Thank you for all of your help and assistance.
