Due to my association with the MV Campaign, I was contacted by a source from the set of “Alias” and given the following information regarding Michael Vartan’s status with the show.
1- Yesterday, Wednesday August 17, 2005 was Michael Vartan’s last day of shooting on the series “Alias”.
2- The funeral scene was filmed yesterday.
3- At this time there is no intention of having either Vaughn/Vartan return to the series.
4- In regards to Mr. Vartan’s departure being a “mutual decision”, Mr. Vartan’s intentions had always been to stay with “Alias” until the series concluded as he had many times, stated in the past.
I was contacted earlier in the week regarding this information, and was just told yesterday that I could release it.
This is all the information I’ve been given regarding this matter, so please don’t PM or email me for additional information or my source. Also I will not be involved in any other “spoilering”, because considering I won’t be watching the show, I really don’t care.

Well That didn't take long at all! Seems Michael Vartan's biography has already been removed:

Thanks to redhat at sd-1 for the heads up.
I cant believe that they did this in the first episode of the 5th season. this will probubly be the last season. i cant believe they would end it like this.i just cant believe alias would do it i just cant
I agree. JJ is quite the storyteller, and I think that his death was faked by Jack Bristow to protect Vaughn until they get to the bottom of who is trying to kill him. After all, Jack did say that he would help Vaughn and Sydney any way he could.I dunno about this guys... i really think there's something going on with this whole issue. :blink:
btw, it's unfair to say JJ lied, you've seen ONE episode, they can't tell Vaughn's whole storyline in one episode.
and please don't discuss that whole Jen getting him axed cuz of Affleck trash. That is gossip and you guys should already know that's not allowed on AA.
That's the weirdest part for me, that if Vaughn is dead, his agent bio should stay up with the info edited. It's so strange and almost incomprehensible in my mind why it was necessary to go to such lengths to erase Vaughn completely....
and I am really upset about abc taking down all things related to MV. But if he's not a cast regular, why was his name in the credits as a regular?? we'll have to see on Thursdays if his name is still there. Thats the only way we'll be reassured he's not really gone.
