General Hospital (GH) spoilers gush Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) may soon lose his life, but that’s not the only potential outcome from this disaster. Michael’s latest chapter could be one that parallels the life-altering coma his cousin — Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins) — just emerged from.
As Michael’s world crumbles around him, GH fans are left wondering if he’ll find himself in a situation eerily reminiscent of Lulu’s, where time stands still, and life moves on without him. While everyone is expecting Michael to die at the hands of Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober), some everlasting Michael/Duell fans have to ask: Could Michael end up in a coma instead?
General Hospital Spoilers — Michael Corinthos’s Days Could Be Numbered
The recent explosion at Sonny Corinthos’ (Maurice Benard) penthouse has left Michael in a dire state. The blast — orchestrated by enemies unknown — engulfed Michael in flames, leaving him with severe burns and fighting for his life.
The shockwaves from this event have reverberated not just through the physical structure of the mobster’s penthouse but through the hearts of everyone who loves Michael, particularly his family, who are now forced to grapple with the possibility of losing him.
Doctors at GH are working around the clock, but the severity of his injuries has everyone on edge. The tears in everyone’s eyes have made it clear that Michael might not make it through this trauma.
However, with the resilience of the Corinthos bloodline, there’s also a glimmer of hope that he might pull through, defying the odds just as his father has done time and again. But survival doesn’t necessarily mean Michael will bounce back right away.

But what if Michael doesn’t die? There’s another, perhaps more chilling possibility. The trauma from his injuries could lead Michael into a coma, a fate that mirrors Lulu’s recent ordeal.
If Michael slips into a coma, it would provide a dramatic narrative exit for Chad Duell, allowing him to step away from the role while keeping the door open for his potential return or a recast down the line.
This would shift the dynamics of the show, with Michael’s loved ones — especially Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and his parents — facing the challenge of life without his active presence, much like Lulu’s family did.
General Hospital Spoilers — Pushing Pause
Beyond the emotional toll of waiting and wondering if Michael will ever wake up to reclaim his life, his family would be left to pick up the pieces of his marital disaster and the question of child custody that looms.
When Duell announced his intended departure from the hit sudser, fans were left with so many questions.Would the role be recast? GH said there were no plans for that at the time. Has that changed? Will it someday?
While death looks almost certain for Michael, we can’t help but think having Sonny and Carly lose two sons is just too much. We’ll take the rinse and repeat coma storyline, thanks!
