While Michael Corinthos takes his sweet time to recover on General Hospital, Chad Duell is busy refining his acting chops. The actor is swapping the onscreen drama with some live theater. Chad has landed a role in Yum Yum, a fresh play that’s set to premiere in Annapolis. And guess what? The play will also make its way to Off-Off Broadway later this fall. But what does this mean for Duell’s GH role?
General Hospital: Duell Takes on New Acting Challenge with Yum Yum
According to Stoneypoint Entertainment, the General Hospital star will be part of an intense play with no intermission. Just imagine watching Chad Duell and Zach Mendez show their acting prowess for straight 90-minutes. Oh, so dreamy! Meanwhile, Yum Yum is written and directed by Bruce Reisman.
The play takes its inspiration from the real-life friendship between playwright Eugene O’Neill and a young sailor named Eddie. Chad is playing Eddie, hired to help rebuild O’Neill’s porch. The character forms a bond with the famous writer, making the story worthy of striking a chord with the audience.
Moreover, the production team made things official on March 3. Producer Dorothy Amos has also confirmed that rehearsals will start with a table read due next week. But before the show heads to the Big Apple, fans in Los Angeles can catch an exclusive sneak peek! How?
There will be a special full-tech, costumed concert reading at the historic El Portal Theatre in NoHo in April. It goes without saying that Chad is heading for greatness, and his fellow soap mates couldn’t be happier. GH’s Cameron Mathison (Drew) celebrated the big news with a bunch of clapping emojis in the comments section.
What Does the Future Hold For Michael?
Likewise, fans seemed to be proud of Chad for branching out and trying new things. However, we can’t help but wonder about Michael’s fate on the ABC soap. The character is serving some serious downtime off-screen from all the burn injuries. Thankfully, the top-notch medical facility in Germany should make him bounce back in no time.
But Sasha’s decision to raise her baby solo isn’t sitting well with the fans. Why did she even pick Jason as the “fake” father? Even Jason couldn’t make sense of her choice and flew to Germany to get answers straight from Michael. Sadly, with all this drama playing out back home, his return seems almost impossible.
Will Michael reclaim his child and set the record straight? Only time will tell. In the meantime, keep reading Soap Opera Daily for your daily dose of General Hospital celebs and inside scoop. What do you think about Chad’s new feat? Drop your wishes in the comments down below.
