Who Is the New Michael On 'General Hospital'?
It's been months since General Hospital fans saw Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) on-screen. The charter was written out in a blaze of glory after Duell revealed he was exiting the ABC soap earlier this year. Despite GH executive producer Frank Valentini stating that the character would not be recast, that's no longer the case. With the Nurses Ball and May sweeps in full swing, the show's poised for a Michael return. A mysterious man on an airplane, watching Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) on the Nurses Ball red carpet, points to Michael coming home. The General Hospital preview teased a shocking arrival at the Nurses Ball, setting the stage for Michael to make a grand entrance. Looks like Michael recovered. #GH — Sloan Rush (@SloanRush3) May 20, 2025 It won't be Duell in the role, though. Even though fans want Duell to return, the actor has moved on to other projects. The new Michael also won't be The Young and the Restless alum Robert Adamson, who stepped in for Duell a few times on the ABC soap. In April, Adamson called out General Hospital for not allowing him to audition for a role he has played in a pinch multiple times. Adamson's words got the rumor mill buzzing that The Young and the Restless alum Rory Gibson landed the role of Michael. Gibson's name has been making the rounds on social media, and many fans are convinced he's bringing a darker version of Michael to Port Charles. Since GH plans to keep mum about the recast, fans will have to keep tuning in to find out who takes over the role. Mark Teschner is a great casting director so if Rory Gibson is NuMichael I have no doubt he will be great and will make the role of Michael Corinthos his own 🔥 #GH — Linda Bryson (@LindaBr40310878) May 18, 2025 The good news is that the new Michael will be revealed very soon. General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC and streams on Hulu.

Did Justin Hartley's Colter Just Hint That Sofia Pernas' Billie Is ‘The One' on ‘Tracker'?
Tracker put Justin Hartley's Colter on the spot when he was asked if he found The One — but did the signs point to his wife Sofia Pernas' character, Billie? During the Sunday, April 20, episode of the hit CBS series, Colter assists Randy (Chris Lee) on a case in Las Vegas. The disappearance is personal to Randy — the missing woman is his ex-girlfriend's best friend. Randy explained the importance of the case to Colter by bringing up his personal life. "Do you know what I am talking about?" Randy asked Colter. "Do you have one of those where she's The One but for some reason you missed it?" Colter, however, couldn't seem to find the right answer. He quickly changed the subject but the topic came back up at the end of the episode when Randy asked again whether there was someone special in his life. Is Justin Hartley's Wife Sofia Pernas Returning to 'Tracker'? What They've Said "You know," Colter replied coyly, to which Randy fired back, "How could I possibly know?" Randy noted that he didn't need a straight answer from Colter. "So you are telling me without telling me. I see what you are doing," Bobby's (Eric Graise) cousin added. While Billie's name wasn't mentioned, the conversation came two episodes after the duo reunited. The March 30 episode brought Billie back into Colter's life when he asked her for a favor that involved her going undercover in a women's prison. Billie poked fun at Colter for cashing in on his favor by questioning if he was "keeping tabs" on her. Colter was subsequently asked by Detective Brock (Diana Maria Riva) if he considered Billie a friend, which he seemed unsure of at the time. By the end of the episode, Colter visited Billie at her hotel room to thank her for her help. "You pretty much owe me for life now," she told Colter, who replied he is "aware" of how much Billie helped him. Billie questioned his support by asking why he was "really here." The fictional couple ultimately hooked up, but it is unclear where their relationship stands now. (Colter previously had a romance with Camille (Floriana Lima) and Reenie (Fiona Rene) in the past.) Pernas, 35, originally joined her husband's new show when it premiered in 2024. Before Tracker, Hartley, 48, worked with Pernas on The Young and The Restless in 2015. and years later, they reconnected off screen and exchanged vows in 2021. They collaborated on the short-lived Quantum Leap reboot as well. Justin Hartley and Wife Sofia Pernas' Sweetest Quotes About Working Together on 'Tracker' and More 'She's wonderful. I mean, if I had my choice, I'd spend every minute with her," Hartley gushed to Us Weekly in July 2024 of working with his wife. "What's really cool is when you meet someone that means so much to you, that you're so proud to be with and so proud of, and just such a fan of, and to get to see her work, because she's such a talented actor. She elevates scenes, and so it makes my job easier, actually. But yeah, it's just wonderful to work with her.' While Hartley hasn't confirmed how often Pernas would return to the series, he recently discussed the highlights that come with working alongside his wife. "I enjoy being around her. I'm having the time of my life with this show," Hartley told USA Today last month. "I love it. To be able to share it with the people you love makes it even better."

Penn Badgley says he was ‘close to broke' before Gossip Girl and took the role out of necessity, revealing the harsh reality behind his big break
Before he became the face of one of the 2000s' most iconic TV characters, Penn Badgley was a teenager shouldering far more than lines and auditions. On the April 23 episode of Call Her Daddy, the You actor opened up about the financial and emotional challenges he faced before landing the role of Dan Humphrey in Gossip Girl — a job he initially tried to avoid. Badgley revealed that by the age of 15, he had become financially independent and, at times, the main breadwinner for his family. 'I wasn't always the provider,' he said, 'but I felt the need to support my parents from a young age.' Having started acting at 12, with roles in The Young and the Restless and other early gigs, Badgley said the grind of Hollywood wore on him quickly. Penn Badgley said yes to Gossip Girl out of necessity By 20, after nearly a decade in the business, Badgley was drained — both emotionally and financially. 'I had a tiredness about me at 20 that I think is not typical for a 20-year-old,' he shared. When the opportunity for Gossip Girl first came along, he wasn't interested. But with money running low and a strong pull towards living in New York, the decision soon became clear. 'I was close to broke,' he admitted. The rest, as they say, is TV history. Badgley opens up about how Dan Humphrey became his identity Badgley went on to star in all six seasons of the hit teen drama, which followed a group of privileged Manhattan high schoolers. Despite later success, including his current role as Joe Goldberg in Netflix's You, he admits Gossip Girl continues to follow him. 'I will still be answering questions about this show I decided to do when I was 20,' he told Call Her Daddy. 'And whatever. That is what it is… It sets you on a certain track that you have to in a sense resist. Work with it, interface with it. Otherwise, it just sort of takes you on its ride.' He also opened up about the emotional toll of playing Dan, especially at such a formative age. 'I lacked the emotional maturity to understand how to differentiate [myself from Dan] in terms of self-worth,' he said. 'What people seemed to think of Dan seemed to be what people thought of me… I wasn't like losing myself. But it bothered me.' Now starring as the chilling Joe Goldberg in Netflix's You, Badgley reflects on the role that changed everything. 'It sets you on a certain track that you have to resist… or it takes you on its ride.' What's next for Penn Badgley? Looking ahead, Badgley is set to release a book titled Crushmore, co-authored with his Podcrushed co-hosts, slated for publication in October. Beyond acting, he also stars in Moncler's Spring 2025 campaign.

Daniel Goddard Makes Soap Opera Return and Joins 'General Hospital': 'It Was Meant to Be'
Daniel Goddard is making his move over to General Hospital. The actor, 53, played Cane Ashby on The Young and The Restless for nearly 12 years from 2007-2019. Now, Goddard is taking on a more mysterious role as Henry Dalton, an environmental physics professor under investigation, according to Soap Opera Digest. The best part is that General Hospital fans don't have to wait long to see Goddard make his debut. TV Insider reported that the actor will make his debut on Tuesday, April 15. Goddard took a three-year hiatus from acting when he told Soap Opera Digest that he got an unexpected call from his former talent manager, Michael Bruno. Bruno told Goddard that he would be great for the character of Jack Brennan. Goddard told the soap opera publication that he had some hesitations since he had been out of the acting scene for some time. Related: Chrishell Stause Returns to Her Soap Roots with 'Glamorous' New Guest Role in Amazon Freevee's Neighbours 'It was a bizarre experience for me,' Goddard told Soap Opera Digest. 'You feel like, in a way, you're going back to ground zero, back to the beginning of it all, even though you've been on a different soap opera for, like, 15 years. It was humbling, but it was more of an awakening, and in that moment, I felt extraordinarily vulnerable.' Goddard auditioned for Jack and did not land the role, but he got something even better — his own character. Bruno called Goddard to tell him the show's creators created a character that they wanted him to play. Goddard secured his comeback. 'I was just gobsmacked by it,' Goddard gushed. 'I felt like it was meant to be.' Goddard intentionally doesn't want to know too much about the character because he wants to be just as surprised as the audience, he told Soap Opera Digest.

' His reason being, 'I'm allowing myself to go on the journey of who Dalton is from the audience's perspective, and from my perspective of what is the growth and evolution of him. I will allow it to unfold as the bits and pieces present themselves to me.' Goddard is looking forward to reuniting with actress Genie Francis, who played Cane's mom Genevieve on The Young & The Restless and Laura currently on General Hospital. "I've been waiting for my moment to see Genie and give her a big hello and a big hug,' he said. As a sort of a hard launch, Goddard posted an Instagram video of himself walking through a hallway before going outside and showing the General Hospital sign on the front of the building. Goddard then smiled as he held his finger over his mouth to keep it a secret.
