General Hospital Recasts Michael
Breaking news: General Hospital is recasting the role of Michael Corinthos. Drew Garrett will be exiting the part of Sonny and Carly's son, and actor Chad Duell will be taking over the role.
ABC issued the following statement on the recast: "We are recasting the role of Michael Corinthos Jr., the son of Sonny and Carly, with actor Chad Duell. His first airdate is Tuesday, April 20th. The continuing storyline will have viewers on the edge in the weeks leading up to May sweeps as Michael and his father frantically try to hide the truth that he murdered his stepmother Claudia.
We want to thank Drew Garrett for his time with General Hospital and wish him well in all his future endeavors."
Drew Garrett took over the role in April 2009, when Michael woke up from a nearly year-long coma.
Chad has appeared on shows such as The Wizards of Waverly Place and The Suite Life on Deck.

i'm shocked didn't see this one coming, i'm going to miss drew he was the best i think GH has made yet another mistake by letting drew go, oh well like i always say when one door closes another door opens , great job drew we will miss you and good luck to your future your the best! As far as Chad is concern we shouldn't take it out on him cause its not like its his fault that GH are idiots so we should at least give Chad a chance so all i'm going to say is Welcome to Port Charles Chad!
I agree with 2muchtv4blue, Drew Garrett did a great job as being Micheal, I was really likeing the guy. Wonder why they had to recast Micheal. Well good luck to Chad Duell.

I hope that when the fellow who played the original Michael grows into his ears, he's recast in the role of Michael. He is an amazing actor and should have been allowed to mature as the character of Robin was.
Drew Garrett did a wonderful job as Michael. He's a great actor and I hope the new Michael keeps up with the good acting.
