On April 17, 2013, ABC confirmed that Craig had been cast in the role of Morgan Corinthos on General Hospital.[2] He began taping his first scenes on April 15.[3] [4] Craig later told Soap Opera Digest that he was hesitant to do a soap. However, the role of Morgan changed his mind about daytime. It was his parents who convinced him to sign a three-year contract.[5] Angela Durrell of TV Source described the character of Morgan as "[s]ensitive and emotionally wounded." Morgan craves "strong ties" and stability.[6] Mara Levinsky described Craig's Morgan as "impulsive" and "imperfect."[5] Michael Logan described Craig's Morgan as a "marvelous muddle of puppy awkwardness and testy testosterone."[7] When asked about his character's "casual and low-key," wardrobe, despite his family being filthy rich, Craig said Morgan is all about quick cash, but "far from snooty." He is the kind of guy that sleeps all day, and eats pizza for breakfast. His sense of style reflects his laid back personality.[8] Susan Hornik described Craig's Morgan as a "Prince Harry-esque, bad boy."[9] Since taking on the role of Morgan, Craig has been nominated at the Daytime Emmy Awards in the category of Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series, and won the award in 2016. On September 15, 2016, Craig announced via Instagram that he had decided to exit the series.[10]
