Talk about a twist! Bryan Craig is headed back to Port Charles. The actor will reprise the role of Morgan Corinthos on General Hospital for one episode in August, TV Line reports. During his initial run as Morgan, Craig won back-to-back Daytime Emmys for

It’s unclear exactly how Morgan will return to General Hospital since the character was killed in a car bomb in 2016. Craig returned as Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Carly’s (Laura Wright) late son in a 2018 episode when he appeared in Ava’s (Maura West) vision.

GH executive producer Frank Valentini previously teased a major return. “A former cast member is coming back. And I think that the audience will go crazy for HIM,” he told On the Red Carpet. Looks like he was talking about Craig!

When Craig left the long-running soap in 2016, he was candid about the reason behind his exit. “From the beginning, you know when your contract is up, and I guess we started seriously talking about it when my fourth-year option was coming up,” he told Soap Opera Digest. “There were a couple of big projects that I had gotten close on while I was at GH, and my manager and I just kind of made the decision that it was time to go back out there.”

Since his time on General Hospital, Craig joined the casts of the short-lived Valor and Grand Hotel. He played Joaquin on Freeform’s Good Trouble from 2022 to 2024. He also starred in the 2022 Netflix romance film That’s Amor.

    He needs to return permanently! Don’t tease with one episode. Very frustrating. It would breathe new life into the series instead of rewinding the same plots over and over again. Come on do it for the fans.

    Definitely alive.. but seeing as it’s 1 day only it’s probably a hallucination from Sonny during a breakdown. But yes I believe he is alive especially considering he was NEVER FOUND 🤷‍♀️🤯🫶🏼🤞🏼🤪 #GH

    🗽🏛️Morgan died, keep him dead. GH is always bringing back the dead. LET IT BE!! You brought back Jason for some dumb reason( working for the FBI to protect Carly from prison.) What will Morgan's reason be for his time away? It wasn't him in the car bomb.
