Michael Corinthos Drops Major Heartbreaking News: General Hospital Fans Can’t Believe It!
General Hospital comings and goings have us all in a chokehold with the sudden exit of a fan-favorite character.
We’re talking about Chad Duell, the face of Michael Corinthos since 2010. The actor shocked fans with a bombshell announcement on social media, revealing his departure from the iconic role.
Chad Duell Says Goodbye
This news isn’t an easy pill to swallow—for fans or for us. According to General Hospital spoilers, Chad broke the news on Instagram with a heartfelt note full of gratitude.
“This wasn’t an easy decision for me, but it feels like the right time in my life,” he began.
Chad went on to thank everyone, from executive producer Frank Valentini to the entire GH cast and crew. He referred to them as his family, with whom he shared 15 incredible years on the show.
“To all the fans, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your unwavering support,” he added.
Chad didn’t leave fans completely heartbroken, though. He ended his message with, “This isn’t goodbye, but a see you later.” Now, that’s how you keep the door open for a dramatic comeback, right?
Valentini Confirms the News
Not long after Chad’s announcement, Frank Valentini took to X (formerly Twitter) to confirm the news.
The executive producer shared his grief over losing such a talented actor and acknowledged Chad’s immense contributions to the show. Calling him “terrific,” Valentini wished him nothing but the best.
However, Valentini also dropped a juicy tidbit—there are no plans to recast Michael Corinthos, at least not yet.
What Does This Mean for Michael?
Naturally, this raises a lot of questions. Will Michael meet a tragic end?
Will he leave Port Charles behind for good?
Or, in true soap opera fashion, could he even fake his own ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ?
Currently, Michael’s storyline is tangled up in a messy marriage drama, so the possibilities are endless. Adding to the suspense, there’s speculation that Sasha Corbin’s pregnancy bombshell could shake things up even more.
Whatever happens, General Hospital promises an epic storyline to wrap up Michael’s saga.
What’s Next?
Chad’s final scenes are set to air in early 2025, so get ready for anything—from fireworks to heartbreak.
And don’t forget, this is Port Charles! The show has a knack for keeping doors slightly ajar. If we go by Chad’s last words, who knows? He might just turn up again someday.
