As a long-time fan of General Hospital, I can’t help but feel a tinge of nostalgia hearing about Chad Duell‘s departure from the show. For 14 years, his portrayal of Michael Corinthos has been an integral part of the soap opera landscape, and it’s hard to imagine the show without him.
For 14 long years, Chad Duell has portrayed the character of Michael Corinthos on ABC’s “General Hospital,” but now it seems his tenure on the show is coming to an end.
On Saturday, Duell chose to share some news personally, via a social media post. In his message, he expressed, “After an extended period of unforgettable years on General Hospital, I’ve made the decision to step away from the show.” He added that this choice wasn’t taken lightly but it felt like the perfect moment in his life. The actor expressed deep appreciation towards Frank Valentini, the cast, the crew, and everyone behind the scenes who had been more than just colleagues during his incredible journey on the show.
Michael Duell, who portrays Michael Corinthos on the long-running ABC soap opera, is actually the adopted son of mob boss Sonny Corinthos (played by Maurice Bernard). In a heartfelt message to his fans, Duell expressed gratitude for their steadfast support and for allowing Michael Corinthos into their lives. “From the depths of my heart, I thank you,” he wrote. “Your affection and motivation have been priceless to me.
He concluded his message with a note: “This isn’t a goodbye — it’s a see you later.”
Frank Valentini, the show’s executive producer, expressed his sadness over Duell’s departure in a social media message, confirming the announcement.
“For quite some time now, it’s been a pleasure working alongside Chad, and I only wish him nothing but success in the future. He’s an outstanding actor who will surely be missed by all of us here at #GH. In another post, he mentioned that his character’s role isn’t being replaced currently, but who knows with daytime soap operas? What I can assure you is a captivating story for Michael and his family when Chad bids farewell in the coming new year.
In 2010, I stepped into the shoes of Michael Corinthos, a role that was initially held by Drew Garrett who took over from Dylan Cash in 2009. Interestingly, Cash was the one who first brought this iconic character to life back in 2002.
Duell won a Daytime Emmy for his General Hospital performance in 2015.
