With Chad Duell’s recent exit from General Hospital, fans are wondering if Robert Adamson could potentially step in as Michael Corinthos. Duell made his final appearance as Michael on the January 21, 2025, episode of GH. Following a deadly explosion in Sonny’s apartment, Michael suffered severe burn injuries and was flown to Germany for treatment — marking his last appearance on the show.
So will Robert Adamson be recast as Michael Corinthos on General Hospital? Here’s all we know.
What has Robert Adamson said about his potential return as Michael Corinthos on General Hospital?
In a recent tweet that has since been deleted, actor Robert Adamson expressed his disappointment with ABC’s General Hospital. He voiced his frustration over not being considered for the full-time role of Michael Corinthos, despite stepping in for the character multiple times in the past. The now-deleted tweet read, “@GeneralHospital Thanks for having me in to read for the recast of Michael. Covered the role not once, not twice, but three times without notice or time to physically prepare. But I don’t even get an opportunity to read.”
Fans last saw Adamson on the October 29, 2024, episode. At the time, he stepped in for Chad Duell, who was suddenly unavailable. Due to ongoing scheduling conflicts and the show’s tight filming timeline, Adamson had stepped into the role before. He had previously served as a temporary recast for Michael Corinthos on three separate occasions.
In a shocking statement, Duell confirmed that he is stepping down from the role of Michael Corinthos. This has left fans wondering if Adamson will be recast full-time. However, executive producer Frank Valentini took to X (formerly Twitter) to set the record straight on a potential recast. He stated, “I am sad to confirm the news of Chad Duell’s forthcoming exit from #GeneralHospital. I have loved working with Chad over the years and wish him nothing but the best. He is a terrific actor and will be missed by everyone at #GH.”
In the second tweet, he announced, “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. (2/2)” As of now, Michael Corinthos’ return to General Hospital remains in limbo, with no official updates on a potential recast.
