Why are there rumors about Morgan Corinthos returning to General Hospital? Explained

Morgan Corinthos, who was Carly's child with Sonny Corinthos, died in a car explosion in General Hospital's storyline of 2016. Morgan, portrayed by Bryan Craig, has since appeared as an apparition in a number of episodes of the soap. However, rumors about Morgan Corinthos' return to the soap are doing the rounds again.

Morgan's story arc on General Hospital was written off with his accidental death after his bipolar medicines were switched by Ava. However, he returned in Ava's dream, claiming to have survived the explosion. Later in July 2024, he was seen again in Sonny's hallucinations as the mob boss faced one of his bipolar downs due to tampered medicines.

However, recently, since Michael survived his fire accident and went through his painful divorce, Morgan's name has been brought up many times in the show. The soap also seemed to have focused on an old photograph of Morgan with Michael in a scene.

Adding to that, Morgan actor Craig's Instagram Story hinted at his possible return to the soap's storyline. All these gave fuel to the current rumors about Morgan's return.

Meanwhile, currently, the long-running ABC soap is following Britt Westbourne's return arc.

General Hospital: A quick revisit to Morgan's journey on the soap

Born to Carly and Sonny, Morgan faced issues since his birth. Finding his rival helping Carly with her labor, Sonny shot Alcazar only to have the bullet lodge in Carly, leaving her comatose as Morgan was born. As a toddler, Morgan was kidnapped by AJ along with Michael and Kristina, although he was rescued by his godfather, Jason.

When his mother married Jasper, Morgan formed a great relationship with his stepfather. After his half-sister, Josslyn's birth, when Carly and Jasper considered breaking up, Morgan brought them together. Although he shared a good rapport with his siblings, Michael, Kristina, Molly, and Josslyn, his mother enrolled him in a military school to keep him away from Sonny.

Growing up, Morgan was romantically involved with Kiki, Ava's daughter. He faced a rivalry with Michael over Kiki's affections. General Hospital fans saw Morgan manipulating the truth of Kiki's parentage reveal to get married to her. After Kiki dumped him over the disclosure of his manipulations, Morgan had an affair with Ava.

As Ava's brother, Julian, got entangled in the mob, Morgan was sandwiched between his loyalty towards Sonny and his love for Ava. After much back and forth, Morgan learned about the intimacy between Ava and his father. This drove him to end his affair with Ava. However, he helped Kiki hide Ava from Sonny till their baby, Avery, was born.

The General Hospital story arc of 2015 found Morgan suffering from bipolar disorder and being treated in the Freedman clinic. However, after his release in 2016, Ava switched his medicines, leading to his maniacal behavior. He stole Julian's car, which was fitted with a bomb to take down the mobster. Unfortunately, the blast presumably killed Morgan, although his body was never recovered.

General Hospital: Is Morgan's return a possibility?

As mentioned before, while Morgan's character was written off the ABC soap, his death was inconclusive due to the lack of a body. With both Sonny and Jason having returned from the dead on the soap, there is always a possibility for others, depending on the storyline's demands.

Incidentally, another character brought back from the dead and currently on the soap is Britt. As such, Morgan may have a chance of a homecoming. However, whether he will appear as an apparition or will be part of the plot as a living being remains to be seen.
