Has anyone noticed we haven't received many... if ANY... spoilers at all in the past few weeks? I realize that this probably has to do with the "veil of secrecy" as to whether Vartan is staying or not, but has anyone stopped to think about the impact of that? Maybe this just goes to show he'll be there, or be back, and they're just keeping it secret... otherwise, don't you think we'd be hearing more spoilers?
Hope this makes sense... it's been a loooong day.

Hi,
I subscribe to google for Michael Vartan updates and found this one today. Let's all pray it's true.
LATEST: Actor MICHAEL VARTAN has rubbished reports his character has been written out of hit TV show ALIAS.
Vartan, who plays his former girlfriend JENNIFER GARNER's on-screen lover MICHAEL VAUGHN on the show, reportedly shot his final scenes last month (AUG05).
Sources had claimed that Vaughn would be killed off in the upcoming series, which then sees Garner's pregnant character SYDNEY BRISTOW coping with impending motherhood.
But Vartan insists none of the reports are true, blasting, "Where do you guys get these rumours about me getting killed off? I am coming back this season."
Committed fans had launched an internet campaign last month (AUG05) to save his character after hearing the reports.

Personally I think this may be a case of cutting and pasting together different comments from different articles. The comment from Vartan, for example, I think may date back to the rumors that began circulating after the season finale in early May, when -if memory serves- Vartan was actually going to be present for all of S5. ^_^
If MV said this, then he really didn't say anything new. We know he's coming back, the question is for how long. Also, he didn't deny the rumours, just asked where the reporters get them from. All of a sudden MV is the only one who can comment on the situation. That's not giving away the storyline. Okay, sorry TPTB and everyone else involved in making this decision, I'm not biting. It's called stringing along the fans. MV and the fans deserve better.
aah.... a good point, vaughan dies but the character lives on. intriguingjems said:maybe michael vaughn is being killed off..........................but mr michaeux will live on!?ie vartan will stay but vaughn won't
if people released that MV ie vaughn may die it could have been easily confused with MV as in vartan is leaving.........but maybe its simply that michael vaughn will no longer exist as he now has a new name
*please let this be true*

Ill just wait and see where they take the story and enjoy it!
BTW "IF" vaughn is killed off, how will they explain how he would be looking for michael vaighn's father if he isnt michael vaughn. Why would he be soo obsessed with Bill Vaughn if they might not even be related that is another cool storyline i just realized....

Maybe he was so avid about finding out if Bill Vaughn was alive because if he indeed was alive, he could expose that Vaughn...well...isn't really Vaughn.

So how long are we supposed to believe that he was a double agent for, since didn't MV and Weiss come to SD-6 from the CIA together? How are they going to explain him lying to everyone, including his best friend?

Well, since "Vaughn"'s name really isn't Vaughn (and I'm assuming, it never has been), he's been pretty much lying to everyone the whole time. This much was revealed when he told Sydney that his true identity was not "Michael Vaughn".
I don't have an answer to as how they will explain how he has lied to everyone, but the whole reason for my post would be that, if "Vaughn" wasn't really who he said he was, don't you think he would try his best to keep his true identity underwraps, especially if he found out that the person who is supposed to be his father is really alive: the one man who could reveal that Vaughn is not really who he says he is.
Perhaps he did not want his friends or Sydney to find out the truth about him in that way.

So.......couldn't be bothered to read whole topic but......its a bit sketchy as to whether MV is leaving right? Or is it for definate that he's leaving? Bcos if he is i'm not watching season 5. ABC can bugger off they've lost my vote!!

I agree that it still doesn't fit because at first Syd was helping him search for his Dad. Right there could have opened up the possibility of her learning something negative about him...
just thought id let everyone know that over on abc medianet for the episodes they list him as occuring in episode 2 and 3

What do you all think? I think what Sydney and Rachel
Gibson have shockingly in common is that Rachel has also been dating someone that was a double agent, or that this agent Gibson knows Vaughn. Maybe Gibson and Vaughn are partners at whatever agency Vaughn is a double for... It's just like Vaughn and Syd at the CIA...maybe, just maybe.
If Vaughn is being written out of the show I feel that its a bad judgment call on the part of the writers and producers- don't get me wrong I love them all they are brilliant! But I feel that If you get rid of Vaughn then you earn an unwanted risk of losing viewers if he doesn't stay in the show. I know that a lot of viewers look forward to seeing him on the show. I know that I will keep on watching the show even if he does leave, but writing a character that viewers love out of a show that still has yet to get stable weekly ratings just doesn't make any sense. I wouldn't worry too much, I think that with keeping good characters in an exciting show with an exciting plot will make alias a must see for viewers across North America and around the world.
No need to double post
