After Chad Duell left General Hospital as Michael Corinthos, Rory Gibson took over the role earlier this year. After seeing his work for the last few months, fans are now discussing which actor portrays the character the best. While Duell has 15 years of experience playing the character, some fans think that Gibson has “made the character his own.”

Here’s what the fans are saying.

General Hospital fans ‘love Chad’ but think ‘Rory has hit a home run’ playing Michael

General Hospital fans have taken to Facebook to debate who plays Michael Corinthos better: Rory Gibson or Chad Duell.

A thread, started by a fan, stated that they “appreciate and admire Chad Duell in the role of Michael Corinthos.” However, they acknowledged that “Rory Gibson has successfully made the character his own,” while also pointing out their favorite traits in the character.

The post has garnered considerable attention, with fans expressing their choice of actor for the role.

One fan wrote, “I loved Chad but Rory is definitely doing a good job. I also like his dark facial features. It gives the character a new look. It’s like a bad boy and a good boy at the same time.” While another said, “I love Chad but Rory has hit a home run with me. He took the role and made it his own with a dark side. I believe this is now his role. He deserves it.”

While Duell’s version of Michael is definitely missed and loved, General Hospital fans have welcomed Gibson’s portrayal with much enthusiasm. Considering some changes to the character, fans believe that Gibson fits the role well. One fan wrote, “I love Rory as Michael and I think he is especially well-suited to play Dark Michael,” and another said, “Let’s keep Rory as Michael.”

A third fan wrote, “For me, the character has a whole different vibe now. Rory is making it his own. The changes are very believable being as Michael had just returned from his recovery & had been through so much with Drew & Willow. I’ll always love Chad tho.”
