I truly believe you Chad Duell-haters are way off. I think he plays Michael with true conviction and soul. And am I really the only one who noticed that he is sexy as all get-out?! Effeminate? I do not think so. Soulful and sensitive? Yep. Best Michael so far...ABC would be nuts to replace him.

Are we watching the same program?? Chad Duell is 23 not 18 or 19 as he is supposed to be. He is doing a credible job in a difficult s/l. Just because we all knew it would a rape s/l, that's not his fault if the writers drag it along forever and he has to be dragged along with it.

As for the remarks that he is effiminate and suggestions that he's gay, where in the world do you see that? I don't. Is it because he's nicely dressed and doesn't wear tee shirts like Jason who bulges out of his shirts making him look macho?

I've been watching soaps since they'be been on and sometimes I wonder where the viewers get their ideas about what they see before them. the s/l are sometimes so ridiculous that we're tempted to just stop watching, but we continue on hoping theyll get better.

What bothers me the most, is that GH has remarkable actors who aren't given anything to do and they keep enlarging the cast. Most of the latest additions aren't necessary to the plot and didn't have to be hired. I wish they'd use what they have and the writers should be up to the task.

Becky Herbst has plenty of s/l hanging now and I can't figure out why she is being let go. How will they send off her children, especially since 'Aiden is Lucky's and there is plenty of s/l left in that situation. If it's money, they could save lots by letting many of the latest batch of newbies go. We wouldn't miss them.

i think micheal did a great speaking out about his rape, it took alot of couriage to do what he did most guys wont of said anything cause ussually it only happens to girls. i think abby and micheal make a good couple together. dante has done good to micheal and shouldnt be hard on himself. now carly is another story'''' SHE NEEDS TO STAY OUT OF MICHEALS BUSINESS OR SHE MIGHT END WITH NOTHING.

I think Chad is doing a great job as Michael & I really like him. Love the storyline him with Abbey & wish Carly & Kristina would just leave them alone. It's not like they are or were so perfect...

I love Micheal and Abby Together, I wish Carly and Kristina would leave them alone.

Carly should be put in her place. It is so convenient that she has to find Brenda and Dane's secret. She forgets all that she has done, and someone should remind her of her cheating, lying betraying days!!!

This Michel is fantastic. He is doing his part very well.

I think Chad is a very good actor. He has been excellent since his coming on board. I wish though they did not have the storyline of him being raped, as it makes Dante look more bad for putting him there. No one seems to realize that Dante was trying to do him good but unfortunately it backfired on him and he is trying hard to make it up to him. Carly is one of a kind she forgets what she has done, ie, lying,cheating, betrayal it goes on and on...... she really need to be put in her place.

Chad is a great actor to be so young and this is his first real role he is a natural. True he may not be what we would call goodlooking but thats not reality for everone to be goodlooking, That has nothing to do with his acting.and just becouse he may be a little girlish does not make him gay. He is the main reason i watch GH. I just wish he was not raped in prison it makes it look like effeminate boys are always victims.

This story line is boring we all knew about the rape after he was in prison in June. Chad Duell is not the great actor some poster's think he is. He only has one expression on his face, and his mannerisms are a little effeminate. But one good thing he does make Spinelle look like a lady's man.
