As Chad Duell’s departure from General Hospital continues to shock fans, they are wondering if it means that the character that he plays on the show, Michael, will die soon. Michael Corinthos is one of the most beloved characters in the popular soap. Thus, fans cannot wait to find out what Duell’s exit means for Michael. Will he really be killed off in the near future?
Here’s everything we know about whether Chad Duell’s Michael Corinthos will die in the show.
Will Michael Corinthos be killed off on General Hospital?
There is no official confirmation that Michael Corinthos will die in General Hospital.
The reason why fans are worried that the writers may kill off another beloved character is because Chad Duell is leaving the show. The executive producer of GH, Frank Valentini recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce the departure of Duell as Michael Corinthos. He further added that he has no plans of recasting the character yet. This has gotten the fans worried that this might be the end of the road for Michael. Needless to say, the fandom has expressed their concern in the comments and replies. They are stating that Michael is an essential element in the current GH story, and should not be killed off.
However, there is still hope for the character’s future in the show. Valentini has also shared that he does wish to give Michael a great arc. In the X post, he stated, “There are no plans to recast his role at this time, but you never know in daytime. I can promise a great story for Michael and his family when Chad exits in the new year.”
Judging by this statement, it can be assumed that maybe the show is not done with Michael yet. As to what and how the new storyline will be still remains a mystery. Some fans are even hoping that Robert Adamson might step in to play Michael. As many might know, he had previously replaced Duell very briefly to play the character.
In conclusion, the producers and executives have yet to provide any concrete details regarding the future of Michael Corinthos in General Hospital. Whether or not he will be played by another actor or get a new storyline remains to be seen.
