Bryan Craig returns to General Hospital after eight years

Bryan Craig is making a return to General Hospital nearly eight years after his character's presumed death.

The 32-year-old actor will reprise his role as Morgan Corinthos on the long-running soap opera as a guest star for one episode this summer, a source confirmed to Us Weekly on Monday, June 24.

General Hospital fans eagerly expressed their excitement over Craig's return to the small screen. One X user wrote, “Welcome Home Bryan!! I just read the news!! So excited!” Another commented, “I was hoping for a full return, but it would be good to see him!”

Despite Craig's comeback, some fans were disappointed that his appearance on the series will be brief.

“Come on @GeneralHospital one episode only!!! Get him back full time!! Fans really miss Morgan!” wrote one social media user. Another added, “So @valentinifrank hyped up a former cast member’s return only for it to be one episode? What are they doing over at GH? This isn’t the type of thing that is going to get AND KEEP viewers…”

Earlier this month, Craig hinted at his return after General Hospital executive producer Frank Valentini revealed to ABC7 at the 51st Daytime Emmy Awards that a “former cast member is coming back” and that the “audience will go crazy for him.”

“Who could it be…” Craig wrote via X at the time.

Craig originally joined the General Hospital cast in 2013 as Morgan Corinthos, the son of mob boss Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Carly Spencer (Laura Wright). His nearly four-year run ended in 2016 when his character was presumed dead in a car bombing.
