BOMBSHELL: Chad Duell Says Goodbye to General Hospital After 14 Years as Michael Corinthos!
Hold onto your seats, soap fans, because this news is going to rock your world! In a stunning announcement that has everyone’s jaws on the floor, Chad Duell has revealed he’s leaving his role as Michael Corinthos on General Hospital. And let me tell you, after 14 incredible years, this departure is hitting us all right in the feels!
THE SHOCKING ANNOUNCEMENT THAT ROCKED PORT CHARLES
Can you believe it? Taking to Instagram with a message that has fans reaching for the tissues, Chad shared his bittersweet goodbye. “After many incredible years with General Hospital, I’ve decided to step away from the show,” he revealed. And while he assured us it feels like the right time in his life, I’m not sure we’re ready to say goodbye!
MICHAEL’S DRAMATIC EXIT COMES AT THE MOST EXPLOSIVE TIME
Talk about dramatic timing! Michael is currently caught in one of the juiciest storylines we’ve seen in ages. Here’s the tea: His marriage to Willow is crumbling faster than a house of cards thanks to her growing feelings for his uncle Drew (I mean, seriously, could this get any more complicated?). And because this is General Hospital we’re talking about, Michael has found himself seeking comfort in the arms of his ex, Sasha. The drama is absolutely delicious!
TEMPORARY RECAST RAISES EVEN MORE QUESTIONS
Eagle-eyed viewers might have noticed that Robert Adamson recently stepped into Michael’s shoes for an episode – and it wasn’t his first time at the rodeo! He previously covered for Chad back in 2022. But here’s what everyone’s dying to know: Will GH permanently recast the role of Michael, or will Sonny and Carly’s son bid farewell to Port Charles forever?
A HEARTFELT GOODBYE TO THE FANS
Y’all, grab your tissues because Chad’s message to the fans has us ugly crying over here. “To all the fans: thank you from the bottom of my heart for your unwavering support and for letting Michael Corinthos be a part of your lives.” And in true soap opera fashion, he didn’t say goodbye – he said “see you later.” I’m not crying, you’re crying!
PORT CHARLES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
Let’s be real – Michael isn’t just any character. He’s the son of Port Charles powerhouses Sonny and Carly, the biological child of AJ Quartermaine, and one of the most complex characters we’ve watched grow up on our screens. Chad brought depth, intensity, and those infamous Corinthos dimples to the role for 14 unforgettable years.
For now, we’re left waiting with bated breath to see how Michael’s story will wrap up. Will he reconcile with Willow? Will his connection with Sasha lead to something more? Or will Michael leave Port Charles in true dramatic soap opera style? One thing’s for sure – we’ll be watching every single episode until the very end!

Chad is free to make the decision to leave. It upsets me much more when someone like Kelly is let go so cruelly..

They need to replace him with Adamson. He does a great job and he’s very believable. So sad to have Chad go. I wish him all the best! He’s a great actor.

Michael is no saint. Right after seeing Willow and Drew having sex, he turns around to has sex with Sasha. We can be sure both Sasha and Willow be pregnant. With both Michael and Drew being the daddies. Hopefully they will recast Michael. The storyline is to good to just end it

I will really miss Chad; however Michael is a legacy character and should be recast. Laura Sonny and Jason are not recast material but everyone else..????
I was really hoping to see Chad’s Michael take Drew and Willow down.

Chad is the one leaving not Michael his character. Just recast him and make the announcement at the beginning of the show “The character of Michael Corinthos is now being played by…….” A smooth no drama transition. Still trying to except the loss of Sam.
