One Life to Live's Michael Trades Faces - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

One Life to Live has a new Michael McBain. Effective Dec. 3, actor Chris Stack (School of Rock) replaces troubled star Nathaniel Marston, who has been fired after his arrest for assaulting three people (plus a cop) in Manhattan in October. Crazily, Stack did a recurring gig on OLTL in 2003 as a preppie drug dealer who got Marston's character hooked on speed, a scenario that now seems "like a snake eating its own tail," Stack notes. "This is a bittersweet way to get a job. I remember Nathaniel very fondly and was sorry to hear of the circumstances that led to my hiring. At the same time, it's my hiring. I'm really thrilled to have a job."

Too bad he'll start off on the wrong foot. Michael, who's facing perjury charges in Llanview, will jump bail and flee to Texas to find his on-the-lam wife. "That will come back to haunt him," Stack says.

I commented on this in another thread but it warrants being said twice. I don't know what happened to Nathaniel, but it was quite a shock when I found out that he had been fired and why. I had stopped watching OLTL back in 2005, when I waited so long for Michael and Marcie to finally have a good storyline (and I know, I know... I missed their wedding and all that, but frankly at that point, I no longer cared). Still, it's sad that this had to happen to such a great actor.

However, although I have yet to see any of Chris Stack's scenes as Michael McBain, he seems like a classy guy to say that he is sorry about the circumstances surrounding Nathaniel's departure.
