Bryan Craig may be eyeing a fresh start on Days of Our Lives, but he hasn’t forgotten his General Hospital roots. As rumors swirl about the vacated role of Javi Hernandez, Craig steps into the spotlight—while still keeping one foot in Port Charles.
Bryan Craig Makes a Bold Move Toward Days of Our Lives
After Al Calderon exited Days of Our Lives to star in Brilliant Minds, fans wondered who would replace him as Javi Hernandez. Bryan Craig quickly inserted himself into the conversation, directly posting to the show’s official X account, “I hear you’re in need of a Javi.” It was playful, confident, and attention-grabbing—everything you’d expect from the two-time Daytime Emmy winner.
While he’s clearly interested in joining the Days cast, this move feels more like an open audition than a firm commitment. His message was loud, but what followed was even louder—his focus returned to where it all began.
General Hospital Fans Get a Shout-Out—and So Does ABC
Just days after his pitch to Days of Our Lives, Craig turned back to his original soap family. At GHFCW 2025, he posted a heartfelt thank-you note to General Hospital fans, saying, “I appreciate all the love and support.” More notably, he tagged ABC Casting, ABC Network, and EP Frank Valentini—urging them to bring Morgan Corinthos back.
It wasn’t a random appreciation post. Craig uploaded the same message to his Instagram Stories, essentially launching a soft campaign for a GH return. He’s not hiding his desire. He’s putting it out there—for fans and producers alike to see.
Craig hasn’t let fans forget Morgan. He posted a screenshot from a Yahoo poll showing that 95% of viewers want Morgan back. He added, “What do the fans want?” and teased them with “Morgan Corinthos / IYKYK” captions on his stories. While many soap actors rely on scripts, Craig is using social media to build his own story—and it’s working.
General Hospital still references Morgan frequently. Tracy Quartermaine recently expressed fears that Gio might suffer the same fate. Even Sonny’s grief has been reignited. The show hasn’t let Morgan go—and clearly, neither has Craig.
So, what happens next? Craig may join Days of Our Lives as Javi, but his passion still lies with GH. While Peacock might be tempted to snap him up, ABC could counter with a comeback storyline that brings Morgan back from the dead.
It’s rare for a daytime actor to publicly chase two roles at once. But Craig is doing it—and doing it well. He’s reminding two networks, and millions of fans, that he’s still here and still ready. Bryan Craig may have his sights on Days of Our Lives, but his heart clearly remains with General Hospital. Whether he steps into Javi’s shoes or reclaims Morgan’s legacy, his next move will shake up daytime. Keep watching Soap Opera Daily for all the latest on Days of Our Lives and General Hospital.
