Chad has created quite the impact on the show, as it’s clear his GH colleagues are going to miss him. Shortly after his IG departure announcement, the soap’s Executive Producer, Frank Valentini confirmed Chad’s exit on the social media platform X and relayed how much the actor would be missed.
Valentini also stated in the tweet, “There are no plans to recast his role at this time, but you never know in daytime. I can promise a great story for Michael and his family when Chad exits in the new year.”

Man the blows just keep coming for GH! First the stupid writers kill off legacy character Sam! Then they have Willow sleep with Drew! Michael sleep with Sasha! Sasha might be pregnant by Michael that quick? Really? Ava on trial for murder. Kristina lying on the stand about Ava! This show is off the chain with ridiculousness!Ava is the only real actress on the show we love to hate! Surely they won’t send her to jail. The baby ‘s death was a tragic accident!We need villianess like Ava on this show!Where the hell is Laura?Her daughter just survived a life altering surgery, and killer uncle Cyrus is the one by her bedside making decision?!?What the hell is going on with this show? What’s wrong with these writers? This crap makes no sense!
Alias also floored by Josh Duhmel leaving the show as Michael another huge blow! He will be missed and can’t be replaced! Bring back Morgan and Brenda and Jax or this show is sunk! Try to convince Robin Mattison to come put of retirement! The real Heather Webber! The new one can, ‘t hold a candle to her version! Please put Gio and Trina together! The football player is not a match for her!
Has the GH writers lost their minds,what a ridiculous storyline, Sam dying to bring Lulu back seriously. SAM was a fascinating character on GH for years,Lulu has been off the grid for years why bring her back and the wrong one at that.You should’ve let sleeping dogs lie,she brought nothing to the show.Then she miraculously wakes up and walks how stupid,after years in a coma,dumb storyline.Drew and Willow disgusting, you can do a lot better than this I’m ready to turn it off and never watch it again so sad,I’m 67 and have watched GH for as far back as I can remember, totally dumb and as usual Ava gets away with everything
I am heartbroken. I typically don’t comment in public. BUT this one hurts. What an incredible actor. He will be so missed. He is leaving behind tough shoes to fill. It has been tough to be a GH fan.
Im Heart broken to see Chad leave, I feel like i’ve watched him grow up since 2014. I would rather see Cameron (Drew) leave the show.
I know that Chad is leaving but he is a very important character so Michael should be a recast. I love GH and look forward to it everyday. It makes me forget about my troubles and watch the troubles of all in Port Charles which there are many. I don’t want GH to be gone they took all the other soaps off so leave GH alone and keep it going .
His shoes will be hard to fill. Love Chad he will be so missed we watched him grow up to a handsome young man. Hope you won’t be gone forever.
I have been watching GH since I was about 5 with my grandma may she rest in peace and I have seen a lot of actors come and go but here lately it seems like they have been getting rid of a lot of characters and the show has really changed since covid. I don’t think the new writers care about the long standing fans and just keeps getting rid of the fan favorites. Pretty soon it want be worth watching ♀️
He will definitely be missed, and I hope he comes back!
All my favorites are leaving.
Yes I’m sad about it but he needs to do what’s best for him. Look what’s happened to Spencer since leaving the show he’s hot already doing his second movie maybe he doesn’t want to be typecasted as just Michael he wants to do movies see what’s out there and for that I wish him success in future endeavors.
They are letting go to many actors and actresses general hospital is losing it.bring back Morgan and Don’t kill off anymore actors
So dad to see Chad leaving GH a childhood fan i watched him grow on the show,the story line is getting terrible i agree with above Elizabeth hated to see Sam go now LuLu she was not a credit to the show writers seem like the don’t know what they are doing!!!
Sad to see Chad go but wish him the best as this was his decision.
And give the new lulu a chance!!
The actress was amazing as babe on all my children. I am so happy to see her as new lulu!!!
In add on to my last comment, can’t wait to see tracy and lulu interact.
Love tracy
I agree with all of the above. The writers are systematically changing the characters to be unrecognizable, Willow and Drew being the best example. Not sure how much longer I’ll watch.
Recast Drew Garrett as Michael, he has played the role before.
I’m sad that Chad is leaving gh
Definitely don’t like it!!!! Chad Duell is really a good actor and has great storylines happening and coming up… Handsome as well. My best to you, Chad.
