”Chad Duell made his debut as Michael Corinthos on April 20, 2010, and his exceptional portrayal has not gone unnoticed Duell received nominations for the prestigious Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series in 2011, 2012, and 2014, ultimately winning the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series in 2015 Prior to Duell, the character was portrayed by Dylan Cash (2002–2008) and Drew Garrett (2009–2010), with Robert Adamson stepping in occasionally for Duell While there has been no news regarding a recast or Duell’s final airdate, his character is currently embroiled in high-stakes drama, facing betrayal from his wife, a battle for Aurora, and the potential that Sasha could be pregnant with his child

Sam’s final action was to essentially save Lulu’s life Dante went from celebrating his engagement to mourning in a heartbeat (And if Dominic Zamprogna’s performance on Friday didn’t leave you feeling crushed, you may be dead inside) Any potential reunion between Lulu and Dante will no doubt be tainted by the fact that she is only alive because of Sam’s death

Her family members, especially mom Alexis, will face a tough struggle as they try to be happy for Laura’s clan A happiness that came only at the loss of SamNot only did Kelly Monaco’s exit from General Hospital after 21 years shock Us, but it also sent waves throughout the soap opera world Many members of the Days of Our Lives family were equally surprised to learn that Monaco was leaving the iconic soap

It’s unlikely he’s leaving for another show (you never know) Demographically, he’s the soap’s only under 40 lead The soap, which debuted in 1962 in ABC, has had a tough time recovering from last year’s actors’ and writers’ strikes They’ve changed writers and course corrected several times They let go of two popular but expensive actors — Roger Howarth and Michael Easton — unceremoniously, One actor came in and got very popular fast

He was killed off before a contract could be issued Other veteran “GH” actors whose characters have gone missing include Kin Shiner and Lynn Herring Long time star Leslie Charleston left after suffering unspecified illness two years ago Eighties leading man Tristan Rogers appeared to exit without much fanfare, also this month

Ordinarily when networks start getting rid of actors in the key demo they’re signalling that they want to cut audience interest so that cancellation can’t come back to bite them CBS and Procter & Gamble did that with “As the World Turns” and “Guiding Light” a decade ago Network execs want to see fans screaming “Cancel this show!” so they can Who’s next to go at “General Hospital’? And PS, winning an Emmy Award isn’t a get of jail card
