What's To Become of Michael?

[Angeldar]

I've been wondering....he's been floating around Peru by himself with Ashland knowing that. Will Michael be safe? Will he return to GC soon or will he turn up missing?

[xoregonian]

I wonder, does this have anything to do with that text about Michael today (in the US)?

[Angeldar]

Not why I posted this but it could be tied...actually it was in a preview on the main page..saying that Lauren is concerned about Michael. Since I read that, I wonder if she does have reason to be concerned.

[Angeldar]

Now I have another thought. I wonder if Ashland will have Michael kidnapped and held hostage and use him as a bargaining chip against Victor's demands.

[zenmaster5]

That could indeed happen. I don't put anything past Ashland. He will do whatever he needs to do to stay on top and keep his secrets which he shown

[DallasGal]

This is a good point because it would explain CJL absence while he does the off-Broadway show. And, it would give Lauren something to do even if it’s to worry about Michael and rant at Victor that it’s his fault Michael was in Peru.

[xoregonian]

Well then of course something bad most likely will happen to Michael. He's in a very dangerous place, far from home. Lauren has been worried from the moment Mikie said he was going to work for Victor again. Peru is no joke.

And if the actor is busy elsewhere (is it with that silly beard?), then no doubt they will have him be "missing" for a while.

Yes, he grew the beard for the play. Production was delayed so he kept it longer than anticipated.

These are all great ideas, but knowing the current writing team, I’m sure Michael will return to GC safe and sound without even a confrontation with Ashland about his discovery in Peru. With the current regime, I would be highly shocked if they wrote a front burner story for Michael Baldwin.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see Michael in a great storyline but it just seems doubtful with the current writers.

[Angeldar]

LOL...party pooper...LOL..but I can see your point for sure..the writers will likely disappoint once again. As for front burner story for Micheal....well it wouldn't really be..because he would be missing, not even on the show..

[zenmaster5]

I hope Michael returns home safely. Ashland is covering up a huge secret that he doesn't want coming out for the world to know so having Michael kidnapped isn't so far-fetched. I just hope it doesn't go down like that and that Michael manages to escape anything dangerous that Ashland might have in store for him. I think may be Michael will go into hiding for a bit until the coast is clear for him to return.

CLB was supposed to be doing a play now. I doubt they rewrote things when it was postponed. Now it won’t be until summer but whatever happens I’m sure will be over before then.

[Angeldar]

If you look on the main page of this site it says Lauren worries about Michael and it also says something about Kevin hitting a dead end. To me, that means Michael is in trouble. I think Ashland will use him as a bargaining chip.

[henyvo02]

I think you are right and Ashland will have Micheal kidnapped

[CloverLeaf]

TBH I would have expected Ashland to eliminate whoever (Michael) was investigating him. I dont think he's above that, but I would hope not for Michael's sake.

[Teaday13]

back when the Michael got the job offer Lauren was worried - so seems to have set it up for something to happen. He's been there so long already and do feel something will happen, bummer.
