I always loved Mike because he had a kind heart , and he showed love and caring to all that knew him .
He was first played By Ron Hale when Mike's gambling got him into a spot of bother .
This upset Sonny and came to the rescue and paid off his debts.
I was left horrified when Karpov's people beat Mike up and they set fire to Kelly's.
Everyone was more upset about what happened to Mike than the diner.
Then 3 years ago Mike returned to Port Charles this time played by the one the only Max Gail.
Who I've been a fan of since age 5 when he was on Barney Miller and so many other shows and movies to his credit .
This girl was super stoked when my childhood fave actor joined GH.
His Mike Corbin was suffering from Alzheimers and it broke the fans hearts .
I loved it when Sonny had a party for Mike and everyone came for it .
When Mike disappeared with Avery , it scared me and then the other incident when he messed with the gas at Charlie's pub owned by Julian shocked me .
This occurred when he pretended to cry to escape getting in trouble with Jordan Ashford and the then DA.
I also loved their last outing at the race track too.
Some of us have had the same experiences dealing with a loved one who suffered or is still suffering from this illness.
Max and the rest of the cast did a phenomenal job. I cried bucket loads of tears along with Sonny and Carly, their kids and their friends who were as devastated as they were seeing their sweet father, granddad , and friend slipping away right before their eyes.
I cried when Courtney's ghost came to take her dad to heaven with her.
Last Fridays Gh of Mike's funeral was truly heart breaking , everyone's memories and tears made me cry even more .
We shall miss Mike and Max , Mike may of not been the best dad to his kids while they were growing up! But he made up for it big time with them and his grandkids !
So here's to a true gent on and off screen We love you Max!
Good luck in your next adventure Max , I can't wait to see your next project.
