Bryan Craig Confirms His Exit From General Hospital!

111
Cast remains bloated…Morgan wants to go to college…send the character to England or Europe for his studies…recast when cast gets smaller or maybe he will return for an occasional visit…just never really cared for Morgan lately-sorry!!!
I’m with you! I’ve had enough of the Corinthos clan altogether starting with doting Mama Bear. Bye!
Frankly, I think his ego got a hold of him and now he thinks he can tackle Hollyweird! Good luck!
Agree!!!
Nelle is probably Nina’s like i originally thought…also thought she might be Carly and Tony Jones somehow but it looks like she is Nina’s!!!…sad!!!
Is Nelle supposed to be 20? Like say @ the time Nina miscarried before her coma? Reallly hope the writers didn’t think of this. Hope this is your great imagination instead Jim! Lol!!
LOL, Jimmy. Morgan would never make it in a European University ( there’s no such word as College as we think of the institution there, as it refers to secondary studies ). Regardless, the curricula is much too rigorous in European countries. Brutal….!!!!!
I can’t say I’m sorry to see him go. Just being honest, guys!!!!
Me neither, CeeCee…..Morgan’s newbie charm wore off quite quickly when he was revealed to be a perpetual screw-up. It was all or nothing for this often aimless young man and we were frequently left with huge voids for him in term of his character development….he pretty much had no identity save for the fact he was Sonny and Carly’s baby boy. Of course, the countless torturous ways the writers either totally ignored or horribly exploited him did the Corinthos Kid no favors either….so many prior indignities, and finally a really poorly defined case of mental illness that just exacerbated my… Read more »
he can go to clown college then,,,lol
Celia…OH, TOTALLY!!!!! I (also) am not sorry to see him go. More and more, the character of Morgan Corinthos did nothing but ANNOY me!!!!! SAYONARA!!!!!
Have a good one, friend.
Jimh…I haven’t cared for the Morgan story since he was brought back with a gambling habit with the help of Ava and bystander daughter Kiki. Nothing went right for him after. Don’t blame Bryan for wanting to try something different. On the other hand it’s a tough business,,,haven”t heard much about Brit since she left.
Morgan is that little kid who pretends to run away. He hides in the backyard only to come home hours later and discovers nobody noticed he was gone.
No, this did not happen to me.
Shut up.
Wow Harry. Smh…find it difficult to understand how viewers think Morgan is spoiled, selfish or anything other than struggling. He’s such an interesting, deserving of empathy character in my eyes…
Rebecca, once again we disagree respectfully. I know bipolar disease inside and out. Morgan is the not the face of manic depression, and it was handled badly with no bread crumbs leading up to this diagnosis.
The writing was not there and it was not overcome by brilliant method acting.
I have said this before and I will say it again, if you are going to tackle the serious and complex subject of bipolar disease on a soap opera you need to make it right.
GH failed on so many levels on the subject of bipolar disease.
Harry my love… 🙂 Maurice Bernard, as you and most of us know, is bipolar. He consulted and approved of the story. I’m not saying it was executed with precision accuracy but Bryan portrayed a guy who had insecurities about where he fit in with Sonny…even BEFORE and probably aside from, his bipolar condition. It’s my contention that when I watch any show I approach characters as I would in reality…of course the more realistic stories…not the ‘soapy only-in-soaps stories. So just as a separate entity, if I was just watching a show about this family, I would feel for… Read more »
Bryan Craig is a young powerful actor .. RC did NOT make Morgan bipolar, he left it open.. we were coming up with what he had like just messed up from bad parenting etc.. J&S gave Morgan bipolarism a hard core case of it. J&S could have taken the Morgan character in a different direction. After he was tagged with bipolarism that defined the character as a hardcore bipolar character that’s only role was to be an active bipolar; onece bipolar forever bipolar.. that defined the character. J&S destroyed the Morgan character that could have gone in a totally different… Read more »
For his sake, su, I hope you’re right. One never knows what Bryan can do. I suppose his wings were clipped, somewhat, in the Morgan role. I just never got into him or his head.
thanks for the blunt it’s so very true tho… he was forever labeled.. unnecessarily … which truly did pigeonholed his character all he got from then out… was bludgeoned to death from familial “concern” from Sonny and Carly… wouldn’t it be great to see him nut up… and Carly be drained of all life I so wanted this to not happen I thought it was a unique situation.. that GH could have catapulted you had Tracy son you had Ava Daughter you had Carly son three dynamo… presence.. with their dynamo offspring… they could have taken these three.. with parental… Read more »
Su…Totally agree with you about Bryan being saddled with the bipolar story. One time, maybe, but we had already been through it with Sonny. But when they started again with Ava messing his meds that was just toooo much. Combined with todays show…Sabrina (who I did like), Monica, the trial, now Bryan…what a demoralizing day. I’m sure that will help the ratings.
I couldn’t disagree more. Bryan Craig got the chance of his life with the role he landed as Morgan…at such a young age and fairly new to acting. He got to display such depth of emotion and he did it so well that I wouldn’t be surprised if he got called immediately, if not for another soap (which he may not want to do) but for prime time or a film. Most actors WANt the rich role he got… Morgan never got on my nerves. He was different than the cookie cutter young guy just hangin’ out, dating, love triangles,… Read more »
I knew this was bound to happen…. I just didn’t realize how soon Bryan Craig…. my man…. YOU have been carrying this show… that’s a heartfelt genuine response… Morgan is the only character, of any interest, in all the Corinthos’ pie… the dullest family on GH. ( just as blah as the Newmans on Y&R) yes… I will continue to use that word… in protest. as an actor… it had to be so dull around the show… what boring tired scripts. Bryan Craig has one of the largest following… via twitter… and deserved that emmy dang it tho… he’s one… Read more »
Well said!
I am sorry to see Mr. Craig go. I thought his character had potential. I did nto care for the bipolar development as I think writers use mental illness as an excuse for plots more than for genuine interest in presenting a story about the condition (Can you say Sharon Newman?) Still, this soap needs to dispense with some actors/characters. We never get enough of those we care about as the stories are drawn out so, characters disappear for weeks at at a time, and focus is lost. I am glad to see so many favorites from daytime, but not… Read more »
Code blue, code blue! GH is bleeding out it’s actors! Everyone speak now, STAT!
GH could have killed Morgan instead of Sabrina…..
Yes, do the actors know something that the viewers do not–is “the end” imminent?
I hope not, nancy. We should keep the soaps we have!
It took me a long time to get used to get warmed up to Bryan Craig; I personally think his acting ability has noticeably improved from when he first came onto the G.H. canvas. I don’t know any of the circumstances for why he is choosing to leave and don’t care to speculate. I think he has a bright future and hope he achieves his whatever his professional goals may be. Cheers and good luck Bryan.
I think I am going to be leaving G.H. after all these years as well.
BYE…
Recast with Drew Garrett. He’s 27. Chad Duell is 29.
He can still be his big brother.
I liked Drew and they would REALLY look like brothers!
Oh, my gosh. I had no idea what you guys were talking about. So, I just googled Drew. This is news to me, Timmmy. Chad is not the original adult Michael?
Wow, Drew is really cute…a little on the thin/frail side.
Depending on the angle, he reminds me of a younger Jason Priestley.
the above post was sent in error before i could edit out some words in a few sentences.
First sentence should have been : It took me a long time to get warmed up to …
I think he has a bright future and hope he achieves whatever his professional goals…
If he feels now is the time, then he must make that leap.
I hope they don’t lose the character.
I absolutely HATE this news. I’ve loved Bryan Craig from the first time he stepped foot on the canvas. His acting has been heartfelt, powerful, believable…he’s played ecstatic, passionate, wounded, confused, loves truck, fierce, broken, bursting at the seams, despondent, sexy, hot, innocent, guilty…LOL…can’t praise him enough. His scenes with Sonny…their heartfelt exchanges…sigh…. He’s off to explore new acting genres I’m sure. Perhaps it’s the wisest decision to make career-wise and I wish him well. As a viewer I feel sad…too many GH faces are exiting. I’m not one of the viewers who pushed for that. The old days of… Read more »
Rumor is Jane Elliot wants to retire and is leaving…
I will be so sad if Jane leaves, but I understand if she is ready to retire. I bet all of the Luke talk is build-up for him to return for November sweeps to ride off into the sunset with Tracy.
One could hardly blame her, if this is true, but that will be a real blow, whenever it happens.
It’d be nice to think that if JE left, they’d put Leslie Charleson back on contract (assuming she wants to be), to keep a real Quartermaine presence on the show. But I doubt it.
jane elliot has been wanting to leave for a good while now……………….
Yes, I did read that interview with Jane E.
I read in an interview with her that yes, she does want to retire…feels she’s been in the biz long enough and doesn’t have the drive or the need to act anymore. And, looking forward to “having a life” and doing other things. Of course, it’s her life…an understatement, LOL, but I can’t help but feel sad. We all realize the person playing the character is working act their craft/ doing their job and eventually will leave for one reason or another. But the attachment to the fictional person is so strong it really is a loss when you’ve watched… Read more »
Jane Elliott… “is” HOT
do you think the writers… whilst in the midst of a heated in your face court trial for Eduardo… (Teddy)
find themselves drawn to the heated exchanges and turn on the endorphin
calling Dr. Joe…
LOL Patrick…Dr. Joe and Tracy? They could share custody and who knows from there…
Love him and his acting. He did a wonderful job, very convincing in a very difficult role! Maybe if he had Kristen back he would have stayed. I wish him the best of luck and hope that this will be temporary!
I don’t think his decision has anything to do with Kristen or any other actor. Just wants to branch out…
Im okay with this too! Okay with Sabrina being gone too! Can we get rid of a few more?
What you want to do dump the whole show????????????
just half of it!! I can’t remember the last time Scott had a story.
Jane Elliot is leaving because she’s on the backburner.
Monica comes & goes.
Felix shows up when his friend dies.
Brad & Lucas are nowhere to seen.
Lucy is ?
Catch my drift? Half the cast pops in from time to time and the consistency (or lack therof) is mind boggling
I don’t even remember when Bobbie & Scott broke up?
Yeah, half the cast (START with NINA) can goooooo !!
You’re cracking me up with your effusive exuberance for cleaning the GH house, Ces…..why don’t we just bring in an earth mover and get the heavy lifting done all at once…it would be far more efficient than having Paul kill off our wish list one by one….
hopefully more regulars check into GH so Paul can Off them 😉
Agreed! Let’s send Kiki packing with Morgan, and have Paul kill off Andre, Amy and Valerie!
Maybe some virus will hit PC and those characters will need to check in and never check out 😉
I am not a Morgan fan and so won’t miss him…wish him the best in his career.
He was ok for helping to bring in Ava Jerome to the show. After that I sort of lost interest.
So did Ava….except during her “dry spells.”
So true!!!
Has he practiced the next big line he’ll be using in his career – “Do you want fries with that?” – because talented he is not. Maybe he can have Cam Matheson teach him how to have a career in entertainment without possessing any talent. Sky is the limit!
And funny you are not.
Oh my, Cameron Mathison. Now THERE’s somebody who truly does not even cross my mind anymore. Is he even around? Doing anything? Can’t say that I’ve missed him. This incarnation of Morgan has never done much for me (doesn’t help that he’s a Corinthos, or that the writing has been so spotty), and my inclination through the majority of his storylines has been that what he most needed was a good spanking (but then, that could be said of most of the teen and twenty-something characters on GH in the last few years, couldn’t it?). I wish Mr. Craig the… Read more »
Never liked Cameron M, Michael. He works at ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT….He is one of the hosts/reporters. He is very good at it….better than his acting.
A pointless character with one of the most boring storylines on GH for the last year. Let’s hope more Corinthos leave the show, especially Sonny the murderer.
AND shut down PERKS! That is the lamest business ever on a soap!
True, true, and true, Timmmy.
Buh-bye! Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
ditto
Teresa, Tyler, now Brain And word is Richard Burgi and Michelle Stafford are on their way out Lordi
It would be hardly a surprise if Burgi is leaving; what are they going to do with his character. It’s a big loss of someone with real talent/potential, but they’ve chosen to write the character into a corner. I guess it would not entirely surprise me to see Stafford go. I like Nina, and Stafford is fun to watch, but I think it’s fair to say, based on comments on here and elsewhere, that viewers are pretty sharply divided on whether Nina contributes value to a show that already has too many characters. And I think any of us could… Read more »
Michael. Best post here. I love your concise reasoning. Burgi will be a big loss. No way will he be able to remain. Where does he go from here? He is definitely not right in the head! Explore another mental case? That’s so overdone, it is pathetic, at this point. As I always maintained, Michelle S is my favorite soap star…..would love for her to stay forever. But, not with all this baggage she is imposed on carrying. Tyler’s exit bothers me not. However, that’s because he was hot and cold for me. I liked him at first, then something… Read more »
Hadn’t heard about Michelle Stafford leaving–ok by me!
Yeah, Nancy…ME TOO!!!!! SAYONARA!!!!!
After years of killing Quartermaines, it’s time to give the Corinthoses the same treatment.
A lot of rude comments from some people here, but I’m not surprised. It’s par for the course with this site anymore. I think it’s fair to say Bryan was a little rough around with the edges when he first started on the show, but he grew and matured into a good actor, in my opinion. People can say what they want, but he earned that Emmy earlier this year. They don’t just hand out Emmys to every actor that walks through the door. Sorry to see him go, but wish him well in whatever his future holds. With Tyler… Read more »
I think fans were harder on him because the ACTOR took to Twitter and got into a pissing match with fans and turned some of them against him and his character.
Aside from the fact I loved Bryan/ Morgan from the start, acting and character, I agree with everything you said. As for the rude comments…just the same few repeating themselves.
OK GH, you’ve managed to lose two Emmy winners within 24 hours. What do you plan to do for an encore?
Methinks the Emmys made some actors overconfident
me thinks you are SO correct!!!
Yup, methinks, I agree…LOL.
I wish him luck—he’s very talented and will find other opportunities elsewhere to grow as an actors—it was his choice not the shows choice to fire the actor like they did to TeCa who deserved it—-BC has a lot of talent and used working on GH as a training ground for better opportunities—many actors who leave soaps withing 3-4 years often go on to primetime and stage—
He’s so talented he should stay though !
i agree thru should have killed him and let sabrina live big mistake. he is a wonderful actor wish him all the best , tell britt miss her so much!!
Recast. I like the character and I like the pairing of Motgan and Kiki. I hope they don’t put Kiki and Dillon together. It’s like watching paint dry.
First Sabrina now Morgan, is that Santa Claus I see? Its only September!
I believe the Easter Bunny is right around the corner! Hopefully the next few to be cut loose are Andre, Amy, Darby and Valerie!
I would switch out Darby with Curtis. Not feeling that “Shaft” vibe! Darby is a bitch and can reek lots of havoc and THEN end up in the harbor!
why are u guys leaving my son has adhd and bipolar, thare are not to many tv shows he watches, but he has been watching this with morgan and i hoped that he would get on medicine, but he will not but this show has stuck in his head and i am glad for this, thanks morgan u did a great job hate to see u leave
Awwwww, so sorry to hear that, donna. This is such a serious disorder. I feel badly for your son. He became attached to Morgan and his storyline…..I really feel badly. Are there no programs for your son in your area. I wish I could help.
You really should look at social welfare programs and advocacy groups. These programs are most likely available to you. It is a standard; especially for children.
I wish you and your son the best.
well if he thinks that emmy win is going to lead him to greener pastures he had better think again…………….jmo
His acting will…I think he’s soooo talented! Jmo too but I kinda don’t get how some don’t see it. (I say in peace…;) )
If you like him it doesn’t matter what anyone else says.
Hi, Rebecca. I understand your ennui….your passion. Believe me, I do. It’s hard, isn’t it?….,When we see beauty in someone or something that no one else does!!! It’s like an abstract painting…..open canvas. The mind’s eye sees what it wants to see. I, for one, never saw what you see in Morgan. Perhaps in time, I would have. He’s leaving; soooo…. We, as individuals, do not think the same thoughts, do not appreciate the same things, and, associate with those we like or with whom we feel comfortable. You and I both love Nina, for instance. We are an endangered… Read more »
Hi Boss…I honestly am not sure if you were being sarcastic . Your post to me could be taken as…as long as you like him then you can appreciate his acting regardless if someone else doesn’t…or it could be taken that you’re implying I don’ t think anyone else’s opinion matters. Hmmmmm…since I’ m not sure I won’t respond to it.
Hey CeeCee! I have to give you credit! This was probably my favorite post of yours in all the time I’ve known you…to me or anyone else. Loved what you wrote, how you expressed it and the message behind it. I get it…and you. With that said, LOL, I have to disagree about your two friends. You know how I feel. Whatever you expressed about them I feel the complete opposite and more. It is so frustrating because to delve further would only exacerbate that situation. If we were face to face, if we had private email to talk…but we… Read more »
How can you get rid of Morgan since he’s the son of Carly and Sonny. You might has well kill him off. Otherwise do a recast. That’s what you did for KiKi.
And look at how well the Kiki recast has worked. An annoying, useless character and a weak actress is not what the show needed. They should write Kiki out with Morgan when the character exits.
Wow! When it rains, it pours. Sorry to see him go. He is definitely someone who lights up the small screen. I wish him the best of luck with his future endeavors.
As Morgan leaves PC, I hope he’ll take Kiki with him. That would be welcomed news to me and help down-size the bloated cast.
Morgan should be killed due to mob violence that is a direct result of something Sonny does. Sonny bas the blood stains of at least 30 people on his hands that he didnt care about at all. Lets see how he reacts when his business costs him one of his own!!
Wow. Comments are vicious. He’s an actor looking for a bigger break. Good luck to him for trying. The kid from OLTL made it to Quantico. I saw the episode on Labor Day of him strapped in crying for help…good stuff.
He often had me crying for help so it’s only fair.
Wow! Sorry to see you leave. Go bipolar on your parents (pack your bags)
Go see Kiki (talk her into going back to college)
Both of you leave together and kiss Port Charles good bye
Guess what! Ava will be pissed. LOL
You have grown to be a wonderful actor.
I love Bryan Craig! These writers are killing everything good on Gh! Bryan and Maurice scenes were fabulous! I am a 43 yr Gh fan who is totally disgusted! I hope that someone scoops Bryan up along with Tyler and Teresa because they are great actors. Gh writing isn’t worthy of them!
I was just starting to like him since he was on the right meds. Got tired of him going crazy.
Good for him..he,wants to try other things. He’s young…go for it!
I think Bryan Craig is a very talented young actor who has really grown in his time on the show. However, I’m not too upset by Morgan being taken off the canvas. I’m not a fan of his character and I think now is a good time to usher him out for a little while, especially seeing the current trajectory of his story. Hopefully he takes Kiki with him. I can’t stand the character and the actress definitely doesn’t help matters. Kristen Alderson was much better in the role. I’m also not a fan of a potential Dillon/Kiki pairing, which… Read more »
Amen! Send Kiki packing too!
Although Bryan Craig is a fine young actor, I’m another viewer who just didn’t take to Morgan Corinthos as played by Bryan, mostly due to Morgan’s behaviour. I won’t miss either the actor or character, and think it will open up the possibility of Kiki and Dillon reconnecting. They’re much better suited to each other, but the writers don’t have to make them boring because of the characters’ similar personalities. I like both actors, though it took me a long time to get to like Hayley Erin’s interpretation as I was such a fan of Kristen A’s. Well, at least… Read more »
The role should definitely be recast, I love Morgan. He is a great actor and he and KiKi make a beautiful couple.
I have to say good luck to Bryan. I also have to say that having Tracey’s ex Paul be the killer seems stupid to me. Somebody tell me why would he be killing people at general hospital? First: He comes in to kill Sonny , Second: We find out he’s undercover , Third: He’s now running around killing people in the general hospital with a needle.
Craig is a good actor ; I wish him the best.
Is Elizabeth going? She seems to be getting worse. In real life she looks like she has anorixia. She is nothing but skin & bones
sorry to see Bryan go as he was excellent in the role of Morgan. Also sorry to see Teresa and Tyler go but talented actors can always find other work.
not fare bud I miss that young actor it’s a lot of leaving on gh what’s is going on
Definitely recast
Gonna miss you.. But if everyone knew he was leaving you should’ve killed him off instead of Sabrina..Gonna miss wish you lots of luck with your career..
