Big Reveal!! Who Will Recast the Role of Michael? GH Comings and Goings
For more than 60 years, the show has established a devoted following, drawing viewers into the lives, loves, and dramas of its characters.
However, recent developments within the cast have raised considerable concerns about its future among the show’s fan base.
One of the most shocking moves in this ongoing transition is the departure of Kelly Monaco, who has portrayed Sam McCall for over 21 years.
Monaco’s exit from the ABC soap opera has left a significant void.
Fans are grappling not only with the loss of a cherished character but also with saying goodbye to the actress who brought Sam to life for so many years.
Adding to the shock, Chad Duell, who has portrayed Michael Corinthos for the past 14 years, recently announced his departure.
Michael has been a central figure in both the Corinthos family and the larger fabric of Port Charles itself.
His journey from a troubled youth to a key player in the family’s business has captivated audiences.
Shortly after Duell’s announcement, executive producer Frank Valentini confirmed the news on social media platform X.
Valentini’s statement not only acknowledged Duell’s departure but also revealed that there are currently no plans to recast the role of Michael.
However, Valentini added the phrase “you never know in daytime,” suggesting the possibility of Michael returning in the future—perhaps even with a recast.
Fans are now speculating about potential replacements for Sonny’s son.
Many have pointed to Robert Adamson, who has previously filled in for Duell during past absences.
Adamson’s familiarity with the character and the show’s dynamics could make him a strong contender for the role if producers decide to recast.
Another popular fan suggestion is Robert Scott Wilson, known for his role as Ben Weston on Days of Our Lives.
With his talent and extensive experience in the soap opera world, Wilson could bring a fresh perspective to Michael if the opportunity arises for a recast.
The big question now is: who do you think should play Michael next?
