by

It appears that actor Chad Duell, known for his role as Michael Corinthos in General Hospital, is rumored to be leaving the show. Duell, who joined the soap opera in 2010, announced last November that he would be stepping back from playing Michael to prioritize his family and personal life. At the time, executive producer Frank Valentini mentioned they had no immediate plans for recasting, but were open to exploring Michael’s story once Duell departed. Recently, reports suggest that the producers have chosen to recast the role, with Rory Gibson being mentioned as a potential replacement. However, it remains unconfirmed if Gibson will indeed take over from Duell as Michael.

Here’s all you need to know about the new recast actor.

Has Rory Gibson been cast to replace Chad Duell as Michael on General Hospital?

Rory Gibson has reportedly replaced Duell as Michael on General Hospital.

Gibson has gained recognition for playing Noah Newman on The Young and the Restless and a classmate of Kora’s in Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire. In terms of plot development, Michael Corinthos suffered severe burns from an explosion inside Sonny Corinthos’ apartment. To obtain proper medical care, he is relocated to Germany.

Generally speaking, Robert Adamson often stood in for Michael Duell during his temporary absences. This led many fans to speculate that he might become a permanent cast member once Duell left the show. However, in a post since removed from Instagram, Adamson stated that producers had not contacted him about the role. Now it seems that the search for a replacement has come to an end, with Rory Gibson reportedly taking on the part of Michael as per Soaps.com.

In the April 21 preview of their weekly video, there were hints that the character Michael might have been targeted for bullying. During the clip, Willow expressed her intention to talk with her husband, who turns out to be Michael. However, she was unable to meet him when she visited him at the clinic in Germany. This week, someone aboard a plane seems to be watching Drew, Willow, and Nina on their Nurses Ball red carpet appearance from afar. It appears that this person is likely Michael Corinthos, as he seems to be keeping a distance from them.
