I’m beyond grateful to Frank Valentini [Executive Producer], the cast, crew, and everyone behind the scenes who have been like family to me throughout this amazing journey.”

To all the fans: thank you from the bottom of my heart for your unwavering support and for letting Michael Corinthos be a part of your lives. Your love and encouragement has meant the world to me,” Duell continued, ending his post with a smiley face emoji.
