A couple of weeks ago I peevishly sniped that the new Michael on General Hospital was ugly and I hated him and thought he should be re-recast. It was mean of me to say, and the MOMENT I wrote those words I regretted them. But you you can’t untype something, can you? There’s no going back. You can’t push a magic “delete” button and make it go away. I had no choice but to continue my waspish rant against the poor little thing. But I’m here today to tell you that I’ve COMPLETELY CHANGED MY MIND. I absolutely LOVE HIM now. Omg, he is SO CUTE, and SO SYMPATHETIC, and SUCH A GOOD LITTLE ACTOR. Not like that other, horrible, DISGRACE of a Michael before him. Now THAT was an ugly kid. Blech. Good riddance to bad rubbish! So I’m totally on board with this new kid. I’m glad he came around. In fact, I think he might even save the show! With Carly and Sonny acting like the most HATEFUL and WILLFULLY OBTUSE people on daytime, it’s been hard to find rooting value with ANYBODY connected to this story. Maybe Danté was doing the right thing – and he’s that got great floppy hair on his side – but I suspect he is 3-feet tall, so that’s pretty much a deal-breaker for me. I don’t want my soap heroes to be hobbits. Anyway, yesterday’s scenes with Michael and Jason acting like separated lovers, only confirms what I’ve been thinking all week: Chad Duell is a STAR.
