General Hospital Rory Gibson (Michael Corinthos) Breaks Silence on Contract Status – Leaving GH?

General Hospital spoilers note that since Michael Corinthos, played by Rory Gibson, left Port Charles to accompany Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) to the burn clinic in Germany, both characters haven’t been seen much on screen.

This has sparked some rumors that the actor was dropped to recurring status. Gibson recently set the record straight.

Key Takeaways

• Rory Gibson addresses rumors about his General Hospital contract status
• A Soap Opera Digest report sparked speculation among fans
• Gibson confirms he is still under contract with GH
• Michael and Jordan’s storyline continues in Germany
• A possible Michael and Jordan romance could complicate things for Curtis

Rory Gibson’s Take

During the week of November 2, Soap Opera Digest (SOD) posted about Harper and Gibson being back on screen for the General Hospital November 4 episode, which sparked a flurry of activity on social media from fans.

It was a “Comings and Goings” article that usually alerts soap opera viewers when their favorite recurring actors and actresses are on screen for the week.

There haven’t been any announcements about either Gibson or Harper being taken off contract; however, it would be easy to see why fans would come to that conclusion.

Meanwhile, Michael and Jordan’s trip to Baden-Baden has kept both characters away from Port Charles.

Gibson Sets The Record Straight

Gibson was proactive in clearing up any misconceptions about his recurring status immediately.

He jumped on Instagram and shared a selfie of himself on his IG Stories.

There was a caption on the photo that read, “Still On Contract Love GH Be Good to Each Other.”

It’s important to note that the ABC soap’s most recent closing credits also have Gibson officially listed as a contract player.

To be honest, considering what a major part Michael plays on the show and in storylines, it would be shocking if General Hospital quietly placed him on recurring status.

Especially since there seems to be a controversial romance on the horizon between him and Jordan.

Jordan’s current squeeze, Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner), is in prison, and she’s working closely with his boss and friend, Michael, to help run Aurora Media.

Things could take a very spicy turn between the two as they continue to bond over their burn trauma in Baden-Baden!

As Jordan’s medical challenges and her growing connection with Michael continue, fans may have plenty more to look forward to.

Meanwhile, Gibson’s confirmation that he remains on contract should put those recurring rumors to rest.

Annemarie’s Take

I’m glad Rory Gibson cleared this up! Michael is such an important character on GH, and there’s still so much storyline potential for him. I’m especially curious to see whether his growing connection with Jordan turns romantic. What do you think?
