Members SpiritualJunkie Posted May 5, 2007 Members Share Posted May 5, 2007 I read someone who got an email from SOW or something that MD's last day is May 10th! WTF? I can't believe they're only reporting this now. I don't even have time to get used to the idea of him leaving so soon. This really blows! I hope to God another soap (preferably ATWT...once JP gets fired..which, in my dreamworld, would be soon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted May 5, 2007 Members Share Posted May 5, 2007 I've never loved AM, but this is such a big mistake on the part of GL. Michael Dempsey was so good in the role. I loved it when he would do his comentary in the ITL episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted May 5, 2007 Members Share Posted May 5, 2007 They fire Michael Dempsey, but people like Bradley Cole and Michelle Ray Smith get to stay on the show? Fans have yet to warm up to MRS, and there are still fans resentful that they brought BC back while putting other vets on recurring. I hope Dempsey goes to another soap.

Members miss wolf Posted May 5, 2007 Members Share Posted May 5, 2007 I liked MD as A-M. He did the best that he could, it wasn't his fault if the writing for the character was awful. And putting him with Mandy Bruno and MRS were stupid ideas. I'm sure the show can find good and cheap actors in NY, so why we are stuck with MRS, LSV(Remy), BC is a complete mystery to me. They're a waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dani Posted May 5, 2007 Members Share Posted May 5, 2007 I also really enjoyed Michael Dempsey as Alan Michael. He's talented AND good looking. I do hope another soap picks him up. I was thinking he'd make a great Jake Martin on AMC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted May 8, 2007 Members Share Posted May 8, 2007 I agree. Dempsey would work as Jake on AMC. Although it seems the character has totally been forgotten. GL is stupid to fire Dempsey. I heard the reason was the audience never warmed up to him. Um, no ... the writing sucked. And yet BC sticks around as does MRS and MB (Mandy Bruno). And the guy who plays Remy. I can't even remember his name ... that says something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpiritualJunkie Posted May 9, 2007 Author Members Share Posted May 9, 2007 I'm actually starting to really warm up to Mandy Bruno but Michelle Ray Smith should have been out the door looong before they even considered getting rid of Dempsey.

Members Matt P. Posted May 9, 2007 Members Share Posted May 9, 2007 I honestly believe that this is just the producers way of saying...we want to get rid of this actor! Rob Decina obviously hired him for a reason and the producers at the time thought he was right enough for the role to hire him but because of the story plots that happened, he gets the boot. That's really not fair but I'm sure he'll get scooped up, I bet OLTL will get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted May 9, 2007 Members Share Posted May 9, 2007 I think MD was perfect for the role. The writing did suck. I didn't like him with Marina either, but I like her a lot with Cyrus. The writing has a lot to do with that. Part of the problem was that AM was too much of a playboy. If they had given him a real romance I think the audience would have rooted for him (jmo).
