General Hospital fans praise Michael’s recasting with Rory Gibson
Chad Duell’s Michael Corinthos went to Germany to seek medical treatment after being severely burned in an explosion that took place at Sonny’s apartment. Duell departed the long-running soap opera last year to focus on his own life and family. At that time, though executive producer Frank Valentini didn’t have plans to recast, he was open to exploring his story after Duell’s exit. Now, the makers have found the right person to portray Michael, and fans can’t help but appreciate the recasting.
Many took to social media to praise Gibson’s portrayal of Michael. One user wrote, “Love the new Michael,’ while another added, “Loving him! Chad, who?” Fans had much admiration for Gibson’s performance and striking looks. A user also anticipates Michael’s dark era after his return to Port Charles and his next revengeful moves to take out Drew and Willow.
The current storyline witnessed Michael’s return from Germany as he attends the Nurses Ball Event. His child, Wiley, was happy to see him back and hugged him. A shocked Willow and Drew chase Michael when he takes Wiley with him. Jason interrupts their chase eventually and makes them stop. Willow returns to Michael, asking him to let her see the kids, but he denies. They argue over custody. However, Michael gives her an ultimatum: he will consider sharing custody only if she leaves Drew.
