Bryan Craig Returning to General Hospital as Morgan Corinthos
It looks like the teases Bryan Craig was dropping on social media were true, sort of. According to TV Line, Craig is returning to the ABC daytime drama series to reprise his two-time Daytime Emmy-winning role as Morgan Corinthos.
However, it looks for now as if Craig is returning just for one episode. Circle August 1st for when he reappears on the long-running soap opera.
Now, it remains unclear if Morgan will come back as a ghost or vision from beyond, or if it will turn out that he is alive and well after everyone believed he was killed when a bomb meant for Julian Jerome blew up the car he was in. That incident took Craig off the show was back in 2016.

Speculation was high that Bryan could be the actor, GH EP Frank Valentini was referring to when he dropped the bombshell in an interview at the 51st annual Daytime Emmys that “a former cast member is coming back…and I think the audience will go crazy for HIM.”

Craig continued to fuel the fire that he was on his way back to GH with a Father’s Day with himself and GH on-screen dad, Maurice Benard (Sonny), and then an image on his Instagram which looked like the GH set.

The actor began his TV career in 2013 when he took on the role of Sonny and Carly’s (Laura Wright son. After departing General Hospital three years later, Craig was cast on ABC’s Grand Hotel, and most recently appeared on Freeform’s Good Trouble, plus several independent motion pictures.
Now the question becomes is Bryan Craig’s one-day appearance who Valentini was referring to, or is there another male actor from the past still on their way back to Port Charles? Comment below.
Well I’m a bit disappointed. I was kind of hoping for someone else… But if he is only returning for one episode, I hope it will be as a ghost or hallucination to end the Sonny meditation storyline.
Oh Gracie – I second that one. Craig is not what comes to mind with the line “Fans will go wild for him”
I’d even take Ricky Martin before Morgan.
Likely, Morgan may be a vision to Sonny as he nears rock bottom.
As they prepare for their annual July shooting hiatus (starting Monday), they’ll be about 8 weeks prior to air. If Craig is back full time (which I doubt), he could return to shoot new episodes when production resumes on July 29.
He already shot his stuff.
It’s Jonathan Jackson that is returning….besides Bryan for one episode..
Well, if he’s only coming back for one episode, I don’t think that qualifies as making the fans “go crazy” that he’s back. It’s more of a nice visit. There’s either more to it or Frank needs to define what crazy means.
Completely not the one we’re meant to be hyped over… and it’s a return we did not need, especially for one episode.
As much as I hate to say it, the probability here is that Sonny will have some sort of hallucination involving Morgan, which means he’s going to be off his meds for at least two more months.
In any case, as I have said before, Morgan has never been down here in Hell, and I’m not sure he would have made it into Heaven…. so don’t count out a return “for real” just yet.
We thankfully agree on the brief return aspect of Morgan (vision, hallucination, etc).
I also agree that Morgan will come back some day. However, I only see that happening as either one of the final storylines if/when cancellation happens OR they decide to kill off one of Sonny’s other offspring. Don’t know if any soap had six children of one character on at the same time.
I hope someone else is returning too.. otherwise that was a lot a fanfare for a one day guest appearance.
Agree! It better be frisco or Roger Howarth! Or greg Vaughan
Frisco is a remote possibility, given Mac’s ambiguous comments about “helping a friend” during his recent extended absence in South America. Since “rogue elements” of the WSB have been mixed up in the whole Pikeman clusterfuck it’s very possible that Frisco could have been investigating the cabal down south. Which also happens to be the last known location of one Lorenzo Alcazar, the most likely suspect to be the true leader of Pikeman.
Either Frisco or Alcazar returning would be big news. Both of them would be huge.
I doubt a 4th Roger Howarth character will ever happen. And I would be very surprised if Greg Vaughan came back after Jonathan Jackson reclaimed the role of Lucky Spencer. One way or another they do need to get more Spencers back in Port Chuck (as Luke often called it)
And I find it “surprising” that most posts say if it is only an episode…it is really no big deal. I find that interesting.
Im alot disappointed in no way is anyone excited to see him!
They really overhyped that one!
If Valentini was referring to Morgan as the one we will ” go crazy for” , he’s got zzzz for brains and also is insulting our expectations as VERY low.
Disappointed isn’t the word. Not who I think of as someone I’d go “Wild about”. And with all the teasers.
I mean seriously? Let us at least have some fun speculating who it is before you dump it on us.
So no Tony Geary or Jonathan Jackson?
Tony Geary was never seriously an option. He’s comfortably retired in Amsterdam. Although it was an awkwardly written demise (other than Tracy) with Bobbie’s death, zero of his kids on the canvas, Luke just isn’t needed currently.
Well – based on today’s announcement of Lucky’s return, I still stand by my last comment that Luke isn’t needed.
Why would you spoil this surprise for the viewers??? There used to be a time when we were surprised by characters coming back but people like you having to get it out first ruin it for us all! Jerk!
Are you chastising Michael for posting a story that another site reported? Seriously, if one does not like soap spoilers, they shouldn’t be reading blogs focused on soaps.
If Morgan’s one day return is indeed what Frank was teasing, that’s on Frank – not someone who reports on it.
OG Steve, you are very truthful and honestly, I was thinking the same thing! Mr. Fairman does seem to post all comments as are…
I give him credit too for posting the posts that are actually 10 times longer than his original story, and for allowing “the one we all know” that turns the posts into larger social issues…that truly have nothing to do with the story being commented on…
Uh, you shouldn’t be reading/posting on these forums!!
Nor should you!
overhyped and anti climatic, I mean a one shot deal, yeah viewers will go crazy alright for being manipulated for being teased.
ZERO interest in the character or the actors return!
Jonathan Jackson would be better
