Chad Duell Announces Departure from 'General Hospital' After 14 Years

The Emmy-winning actor, who has portrayed Michael Corinthos since 2010, says the decision to leave the iconic soap opera was not an easy one.

Chad Duell confirmed his exit from ABC's 'General Hospital' after 14 years, announcing the decision on Instagram.
Duell expressed gratitude to the show's cast, crew, and fans, emphasizing that this is a 'see you later' rather than a permanent goodbye.
Executive producer Frank Valentini praised Duell's contributions and confirmed there are no immediate plans to recast the role of Michael Corinthos.
Duell began playing Michael Corinthos in 2010, succeeding Drew Garrett, and won a Daytime Emmy in 2015 for Outstanding Supporting Actor.
The departure follows other recent cast changes on the long-running soap, including Kelly Monaco's exit earlier this year.
