General Hospital’s – Chad Duell Feels Very Blessed About His Current Position
Duell talked about the reason behind his GH exit during the State of Mind podcast. He notes the core of it all was that he just needed to take some time away due to recent changes in his life like losing his father suddenly and becoming a dad himself.
Maurice noted that Duell must be thankful to GH Executive Producer, Frank Valentini, for keeping a door open for his and Michael’s return. Chad replied, “He didn’t need to do that. I’m aware how blessed I am for that, so I’m very thankful.”

Both Duell and Benard also talked about Michael’s exit storyline, which is currently unraveling. Many fans have been vocal about how disappointed they are about him being a burn victim after getting caught up in an explosion, clearly targeted for Sonny.
Still, Duell notes that he’s “glad” GH did it like that. He goes on to say, “As far as a typical kind of, like, what, I get shot or I blow up and I’m gone?” (Referring to the way the soap set up Morgan Corinthos’ (Bryan Craig) exit in 2016 when the character was blown up in a car and never seen again).
Meanwhile, Benard notes that the explosion and how Duell’s Michael double got burned up during the fire was very, ‘well done’, from the show’s point of view, which was an incredible sight to see – if it wasn’t so gruesome and scary!
