Fans are divided over the casting of Rory Gibson<\/strong> as Michael Corinthos<\/strong> in General Hospital<\/span><\/strong>. Chad Duell<\/strong>, who portrayed Michael for nearly 15 years, announced his departure in November 2024. In May 2025, the opera cast Gibson to replace Duell on the show. While many fans are pleased with Gibson\u2019s take on Michael, some have voiced complaints, criticizing that his role lacks personality.<\/p>\n The debate sparked when a fan took to social media<\/a> to express disappointment with Gibson\u2019s casting. According to the user, Gibson\u2019s portrayal of Michael lacks \u201cpersonality, warmth, and confidence\u201d and doesn\u2019t align with the character. The fan also questioned the casting choice, suggesting that GH did not select a suitable actor for the role.<\/p>\n Some users supported Michael\u2019s casting, noting that Gibson is nailing the role and that the audience should give him some time to fit in. One fan said, \u201cIt\u2019s a matter of getting to know the character. I didn\u2019t like Chad at first but he grew into his character. I\u2019m sure Rory will fit in also. It\u2019s hard to replace a character.\u201d Another stated, \u201cI love him. I think he fits the character much better for this phase of the character.\u201d<\/p>\n Appreciating Gibson\u2019s casting, a third user wrote, \u201cHe\u2019s great he just stepped into the role and embraced it.\u201d Other reactions also included \u201cLOVE HIM,\u201d \u201cFor real. I think he is doing an awesome job,\u201d and \u201cI like him as Michael.\u201d<\/p>\n On the contrary, a few users agreed with the original post, criticizing Gibson\u2019s portrayal as more stoic and showing fewer emotions. A fan wrote, \u201cI figure you\u2019ll get raked over the coals for this, but I couldn\u2019t agree more. He was on Y & R for a while and he was the same on there. I couldn\u2019t get past it.\u201d Another noted, \u201cHe comes off as more stoic but also sturdier and more mature.\u201d<\/p>\n The post General Hospital Fans Go to War for Rory Gibson\u2019s Michael<\/a> appeared first on ComingSoon.net – Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fans are divided over the casting of Rory Gibson as Michael Corinthos in General Hospital.
