Bittersweet news, GH fans: Aaron Refvem, who has been so adorably excellent as Morgan Corinthos, has been cast in an upcoming pilot and thus the show has had to recast the role. Aaron Sanders will take over as Morgan.
Aaron R. took up the role of Morgan in May of 2009, and since then he's really impressed us -- and held his own opposite pretty fantastic actors like Maurice Benard, Laura Wright, and Dominic Zamprogna. Needless to say, we wish Mr. Refvem wild success on his pilot, and when he becomes a super-famous actor, we will be the first in line to say we told you so.
Look for Aaron Sanders to debut as Morgan on April 14th and be thrust right into the middle of the escalating story of Sonny's trial and Michael's desire to confess to killing Claudia.
Any memories of Aaron-Refvem-as-Morgan you'd like to share?

ok so I really don't like the new morgan and all this stuff about making the kids look like sonny well Michael isnt even sonny's biological son so who really cares if he looks like him I miss the old morgan though as for Michael I have not really been a big fan of any of the actors who have played him.000
We need to see more of Max, Milo, and Diane. Do not, under any circumstances replace the young actress who plays Molly and please have enough common sense to not knock Johnny off. For years when the writers at GH ran out of ideas, they fell back on the old premature aging method of coming up with new people who can have sex. They should just write storylines that fit the actors they already have. I still can't believe we watched the original Michael grow up on GH and do some terrific acting as Sonny's son, only to see him replaced so he could be aged, a lot. Plus I guess adorable red haired boys are not considered sexy enough. So we adjust and fall in love with the new Michael that wakes up. This kid is doing such a bang up job that their next logical move is to replace him?????? Not too smart. I guess he didn't look enough Corinthos? I think most of us are now afraid to even like the current Michael. Writers are called "writers" for a reason. They are supposed to write! Notice they are not called "Changers"? Leave the cast alone and just write!
I'm wondering how much longer it is going to take the powers that be at General Hospital to figure out what is REALLY wrong with GH. They keep replacing actors, especially kids we are really attached to, when the ones who seriously need replacing are the WRITERS. We suffered through sixteen months of the Claudia story. Great acting but it drug on far too long. Just when we thought things would finally speed up, we were hit with many more months of the "Who shot CLAUDIA?" story. Dante and LuLu have been a refreshing change and we need to see more changes soon. Not everything at GH should be about Sonny and Jason. There is such a thing as TOO MUCH of a good thing. Have Sonny get injured and send him off to the island to recuperate. Then bring in some other good looking guys and give them storylines that haven't already been done to death!
FYI: Michael was 12 when he went into the coma, 16 when he came out, a few weeks later they referred to him as a 17 yr old, then in January 2010 he turned 18. As for the new Morgan -- and Donna's Jewish/Italian comment -- Sonny is half Cuban and his father Mike Corbin is clearly white. So while new Morgan may 'look Jewish', he is not supposed to be Italian either. Aaron R. is a wonderful young actor and really did resemble Dante. Oh well...
Well doesn't really matter who plays Morgan (or Michael or even Kristina for that matter). All of Sonny's kids are little crybabies anyway. They whine and moan about how Michael is in jail. Which means they really aren't Sonny's kids to begin with. If you gangster, you gangster. My father was a nefarious character and even though I never delved into his business, I will say that I do have his temper. It's in my blood. And the same should hold true to Morgan. He from gangster blood. He should act that way. Not cry your eyes because your brother's in the can. Man up and deal with it. Hell, you should be bragging to your boys about how your brother got sent to the joint for clipping your dad's wh*re of a wife. That gives you mad street cred and you should be lovin' it instead of crying like the little b*tch you are.
I really hate the new recast of Morgan. Aaron Refvem is an awesome actor, as evidence that he has been cast in a pilot. Recasting Drew Garrett was a big mistake too. These new actors just do not fit and have really interrupted the flow of the story.
Sorry to disagree . . . happen to really like the new Michael. I think he is a much better actor. However, the new Morgan is another story - HORRIBLE! I loved the old Morgan - what a fabulous little actor - not surprised he is being tapped for bigger and better things.
Why do the new Michael and Morgan look more like Max and Milo's kids than Sonny & Carly's?
Okay, where in gods green earth did they get the new Michael and Morgan-these two are terrible actors and they don't even look like Carly or Sonny. The new Michael is a dork and the new Morgan is way too Jewish looking-this kid is supposed to be Italian! Take them away and lets at least get some kids that look the part!!!!
Loved the old Michael and HATE that the "old" Morgan is gone. Those two fit the roles perfectly and really seemed like brothers. Not sure if the two "new" Michael and Morgan's have the same chemistry. They certainly both have big shoes to fill!
