Question

on one life to live the original michael mcbain (marcy's husband) on one life to live started to look sickly (or addicted to something). then all of a sudden he was gone. has anyone heard about his health?

Answer 1

He was fired for beating up 4 people, a cop included and being high. ABC has a strict morals clause in their contracts so they gave him the boot.

Answer 2

Nathaniel Marston (old Michael) was arrested in NYC on assault charges.  No addiction involved except anger.  He's not in rehab.

Answer 3

h**l yeah he was an alcoholic or something like that.  He got fired because he either had to go to jail or rehab.  He's like a Amy Winehouse song! lol...
