General Hospital Spoilers: 5 Intriguing Questions Surrounding Michael’s Return And Recovery Journey
General Hospital spoilers and updates tease that there will be five questions that need answers once Michael Corinthos (formerly Chad Duell) returns. What will happen when the character fully recovers and returns to Port Charles?
Who Will Play Michael Going Forward?
To start, there’s the matter of who will portray Michael upon his return to the screen; word on the casting street is, Chad decided not to return.
A recent leak on social media suggests that the recasting process is already in motion, thanks to a disappointed Robert Adamson who filled in before. If the search is successful and a new actor is chosen to take over from Chad Duell, fans will need to adjust to a different face in the role.
We will keep you informed about any significant casting developments regarding who will take on Michael’s character. There have been some rumors of recast candidates, but they’re as yet unsubstantiated.

Will Michael Claim His Child With Sasha?
Now, let’s consider the entire baby daddy dilemma. Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) has been pretending to be the father of Sasha Gilmore Corbin’s (Sofia Mattsson) child, but will Michael ultimately accept his biological father role in public? This could complicate any potential custody battle that may arise, yet it’s hard to imagine Michael actually walking away from his child for good.
Although he has consented to let Sasha raise the baby on her own, it appears that Michael might reconsider this decision in the future. After all, he has two other children to consider as well, but once that’s settled he likely would step up.
What About Getting Revenge On His Enemies?
Fans will soon discover whether Michael will seek vengeance against those who have disrupted his life.
This includes the individual responsible for the penthouse explosion, Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), as well as potentially Willow Corinthos (Katelyn MacMullen) based on her actions leading up to that point. Once Michael is in a position to confront these issues, he will face a multitude of scenarios to navigate.
This includes the possibility of attempting to take back Aurora from Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) or at least negotiating for a partnership. Michael will need a job once he returns, and it was Drew who tricked Curtis to begin with.
Can Michael And Willow Forgive Each Other?
Willow has recently completed the necessary paperwork to appoint Drew as the legal guardian of her children in case anything happens to her. However, Wiley Corinthos (Viron Weaver) and Amelia Corinthos (Serenity and Sequoia Mork Macko) are also Michael’s kids.
It appears that Drew is scheming to take Michael’s children, and Willow is unwittingly allowing this, almost as if she’s under some kind of spell.
While this plan is likely to fail, Willow continues to add to the ways she has hurt Michael. On the other hand, Michael has his own mistakes that will eventually come to light, such as his affair with Sasha that resulted in her pregnancy.
Who Will Be Michael’s Next Love Interest?
Eventually, Michael and Willow will need to decide if they can forgive one another. Whether they choose to reunite romantically or simply work together as co-parents, it’s crucial for them to reconnect and find common ground.
The question of forgiveness connects to the next topic, as fans are curious about who Michael’s next romantic partner will be.
There’s a possibility that he could get back together with Willow, but we shouldn’t dismiss the idea of a reunion with Sasha, especially with their baby on the way.
Additionally, Michael might find himself attracted to someone new when he returns; he could have a fresh start in his love life, which is another possibility to think about.
