One Year of Rory Gibson On GH
While Gibson (Michael) didn’t make his on-screen debut on the ABC soap until May 2025, today was his first day of filming, and he isn’t letting the anniversary pass by. In an Instagram post, Gibson shared a carousel of photos from his first year as Michael.
The social media share kicked off with Gibson posing in front of the GH sign. There were a few photos from Gibson at the Daytime Emmy Awards, including one of him presenting with Carla Hall.
Gibson posted a slew of photos of himself with his co-stars, in dark Michael mode, and from some of Michael’s pivotal scenes from the year. Yes, there was a little bit of everything in the mix for Gibson to celebrate one year on the ABC soap.
“1 year down at GH Love this job Love these people,” read his caption on the Instagram post.
The comments section was filled with Gibson’s co-stars gushing over him, proving that no matter what happens on-screen, he’s beloved off-screen.
Days of our Lives’ newest cast member, Sofia Mattsson (ex-Sasha), led the pack, praising Gibson with Rick Hearst (Ric), Katelyn MacMullen (Willow), Kate Mansi (Kristina), Kristen Vaganos (Molly), Braedyn Bruner (Emma), and Josh Kelly (Cody), all showering Gibson with love.
It’s hard to believe that it’s only been a year since Gibson has been playing Michael. Considering he’s the son of Carly (Laura Wright) and Sonny (Maurice Benard), it was about time his dark side was unleashed. Over the last year, Gibson has managed to make Michael dark while keeping him vulnerable and still a good guy.
This version of Michael was needed, especially as Willow and Drew (Cameron Mathison) walked all over him. There’s no question that Gibson has been one of the most successful recasts in GH history, and it was that way from the jump…or should we say walk?
Michael walking into the Nurse’s Ball, scooping up Wiley (Viron Weaver), then leaving him there was one of the best moments ever on the show. It also set the tone for this new Michael, and fans were on board immediately.
Congrats to Gibson on his first anniversary. Here’s hoping you stick around GH for a long time!
