General Hospital recasting the role of Michael Corinthos Jr. starting on April 20

General Hospital is recasting the role of Michael Corinthos. Drew Garrett will be leaving the part of Sonny and Carly's son, and actor Chad Duell will be taking over the role.

"We are recasting the role of Michael Corinthos Jr., the son of Sonny and Carly, with actor Chad Duell. His first airdate is Tuesday, April 20." said ABC. "The continuing storyline will have viewers on the edge in the weeks leading up to May sweeps as Michael and his father frantically try to hide the truth that he murdered his stepmother Claudia.

We want to thank Drew Garrett for his time with General Hospital and wish him well in all his future endeavors."

Drew Garrett took over the role in April 2009, when Michael woke up from a nearly year-long coma.

Chad has appeared on shows such as The Wizards of Waverly Place and The Suite Life on Deck.
