Sunday, February 5th, 2023
The daytime star gets all decked out for his latest adventure.
When it comes to having fun, General Hospital’s Chad Duell (Michael) goes all out, and this time, he and his girlfriend Luana Lucci set out on a new adventure that took them to Universal Studios Hollywood. “Back at it,” Duell posted, along with three photos from their latest outing — and for those who don’t know, the ABC soap actor is a big fan of Harry Potter and it appears he’s already picked which side he’s on regarding the Hogwarts teams.
