General Hospital star Chad Duell has unveiled a new look of undergoing a drastic transformation. The actor took to Instagram to share an update with his fans after they saw his character Michael depart the show after an all-around traumatic time. Michael went through it when he learned his wife, Willow had cheated on him with his uncle, Drew.
Finding some comfort in a romantic liaison with his ex-girlfriend, Sasha then turned on its head when she fell pregnant. Then Michael was left with life-changing injuries when an incendiary device exploded in his dad’s penthouse, causing a fire which left him with burns covering most of his body. Michael then left to head to a German clinic where he was getting experimental burn treatments, leaving fans hoping they will see him return one day soon.
Chad posted on social media for his fans as he updated them on his life since departing the show. Sharing a picture of himself with no shirt on and looking into the distance, he wrote: “Been on a real journey lately..
.mentally and physically. Dropped nearly 20 pounds since December, but the weight that really mattered wasn’t just physical.
Been shedding old mindsets, self-doubt, and comfort zones too. Funny how the more you grow mentally, the more your body wants to match that energy.” He continued: “Or maybe it’s the other way around? Either way, they’re definitely in a relationship.
.. and I think they’re getting serious.
Growth isn’t always loud, but it shows up if you stay consistent.” Delighted fans rushed to comment on the post as they showed their support for Chad. One wrote, “Glad you’re taking care of yourself! You are missed on GH so take your time but come back when you’re ready!” A second said, “I’m so proud of you! You are loved by family and friends and your fans! Be a great Dad and come back to GH when you’re ready and healed up.
” A third offered, “Mental health and physical go hand in hand. Way to go, and glad you realized you needed it.” Chad recently opened up about his reasons for leaving General Hospital, admitting he had been through a tough time personally.
Speaking on The Daily Drama Podcast , he said, “It’s a life adjustment. A lot of stuff’s been going on in my life. There’s a few things behind it but one thing I did say is my dad passed away and I’m still coming to terms with that.
” “I’m preparing myself for next chapters,” he went on. “Obviously with [creator] Frank [Hursley] and everything, I left the door open there. Right now, I’m just trying to grow in ways that maybe I feel like I stifled myself in certain aspects, and sometimes you need to take drastic steps or make yourself feel uncomfortable to take a step.
” “And that’s what I’ve not allowed myself to do in a long time, is step into more uncomfortable situations and grow, instead of comfortable and complacent,” Chad continued.
