Alan-Michael OUT!

Michael Dempsey brought the character of Alan-Michael back to Springfield more than a year ago, but A-M never re-caught on with fans, so unfortunately, he's out. Four actors have portrayed adult Alan-Michael, however this latest incarnation was perhaps the least successful (however, I'm not too sure how I feel about A-M #3, Michael Dietz).

Those in-the-know at Guiding Light insist that just because Alan-Michael is being written out of the show, it doesn't mean that he shot Alan. There are also no plans to recast the role.

If I had any say in the matter, first and foremost I'd like Rick Hearst (A-M #2) back as A-M, but he's got a nice gig over at General Hospital that I don't see him wanting to leave anytime soon. So, how 'bout we get a real blast from the past (Why not? ATWT is doing it by re-casting Scott Bryce as Craig Montgomery!): the original A-M, Carl T. Evans (featured photo). He's a total cutie-pie who also has the cockiness that A-M needs, w/o being off-putting. What do you think?
