How Does Chad Duell Really Feel About Courtney Hope?

The Young and the Restless and General Hospital fans are finally getting some answers on Chad Duell and Courtney Hope’s decision to split up. The soap star made an appearance on Maurice Benard’s YouTube channel titled State of Mind recently where he finally broke his silence on the end of his relationship with Courtney Hope.

As we previously reported, Chad Duell dropped a bit of a shocker on GH and Y&R fans when he revealed he and Courtney were never legally married. Turns out, they went through the process of getting married. But, they never signed the necessary paperwork to make things official.

Toward the beginning of the interview, Maurice offers a brief introduction to who Chad is. Maurice admits he is privileged to have Chad Duell sitting down to chat with him. Why? Well, because Chad doesn’t really do that many interviews. The soap star was quick to confirm interviews aren’t his thing. He added his fans sometimes get upset with him for not doing more interviews.

It wasn’t until the end of the interview that Maurice tried to dive into more uncomfortable topics. He reassured Chad he only wanted to discuss what he was comfortable sharing. But, he was interested in discussing his split from Courtney Hope.

Chad Duell clears his throat and fidgets significantly more than he does the entire interview after being asked about his split with Courtney. He admits he isn’t going to go into much detail out of respect for her. Chad wanted to clear the air that the split wasn’t what anyone thought. Maurice, however, chimed in to clarify he didn’t think anyone thought there was a terrible or malicious reason for the break-up.

It’s a complicated situation, and it’s not what anybody thinks. I’m not going to get into detail, but it’s not what people think.”

Chad Duell proceeds to gush about Courtney Hope. He noted she was an “amazing” woman. The soap star used the word “amazing” more than a few times to describe his former flame. It was clear he had a lot of love for her in his heart even though they were no longer together. He reassures Maurice the decision to split was mutual which was all anyone could hope for.

Chad gushed: “All I’ll say is she’s an amazing person, she’s an amazing woman, she’s an amazing dog mom.”

At the end of the conversation, Maurice poked fun at Chad Duell gushing about how perfect Courtney was by adding that she was definitely out of Chad’s league. While it was clearly a joke, Chad did not hesitate to agree she was way out of his league.
