Ugh!I was like Ugh literally that is what I said!It was so emotional and I was upset.I gave him a hard time for leaving me. (Laughs)I took it personally.He's my on-screen dad!But it made for a great storyline and there was a lot of great material for all of us.So I guess, that is kind of the bright side … if there is one?But Michael is dearly missed.Michael is awesome!
