Topic: Yay! Old Mike was back today!

I know he wasn't everyone's favorite, but I really missed Mark Collier!  Especially after that "fake" Mike was on (How long ago was that?).  I felt like we hadn't seen the character of Mike in years, with him explaining about his new wife, and daughter.  Talking about how he'd had an accident, lost his company, etc., etc.  It was like that whole Mike/Meg/Lily crap never happened (and I wish it hadn't!).    I wish he was going to be around for more than just a few days, but I really was glad to see him again. 

And the actress who played his wife was really cute and very good, IMO.

As a rule I don't watch ATWT since the real Lily left but today I was flipping through channels re programing my remote and I saw MIKE!!! I had to keep the show on as I was so amazed! It was really good to see Collier back as Mike and I hope he will be back for good.

I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised seeing MC as Mike. The storyline was good & I actually felt something for the guy that I never had in the past. Looking forward to today's episode.

Im so glad Mike is back too. His character is just what this show needed. I missed the excitement surrounding Mike. I couldnt believe when they let this pivotal character go.

I think of Mark Collier as "Old New Mike."  The last guy was New Mike and Shawn Christian was Old Mike.  It's not quite as complicated as my designations for Jessica:  When Joanna Rhinehart replaced Tamara Tunie, she became New Jessica and Tamara became Old Jessica.  Then Tamara came back so she was New Old Jessica and Rhinehart became Old New Jessica. 

Yes, I am insane.  You gotta problem with that?

  • LOL, O.O.! Hey, to me, Scott Bryce is RealCraig, Hunt Block is FauxCraig, Jon Lindstrom is GrudginglyToleratedCraig, and that dark haired guy was NotCraigAtAll. Whew! eom MaryHatch
  • hahah MH, I love it. Yeah that dark haired guy was not good for the part of Craig. I didn't buy it at all.

    So happy to see him! But I felt like the writers forgot that Mike HAS been back since MC left the part, LOL. It's just more proof that the last Mike was nowhere close to the character :)

    Glad the real Mike is back. A little shakey, but maybe Doc Hughes can fix him up.=)

    Welcome back Mike! :D

    Well, Tool certainly didn't let any grass grow under his feet, did he? Anna is gorgeous, but I'm sure she'll be yesterday's news as soon as Mike meets her best friend.

    He's a huge manwhore, but yeah, I do miss the big galoot. Collier is just so damn likeable.

    I wondered, too, how long ago Mike #3 was in town since we got quite a 'busy' update on him today, so I looked it up... he left 10/1/08...

    When I first saw ''Anna'' waving to Mike from the car, I thought, ohhhh noooo! - he married a Katie Clone!! .. But then she was so sweet and real.   I was like, let's have a story about these two meeting the challenges of every day life in the current environment....

    I liked Mark Collier as Mike.  The only time I didn't care for the character was when he was chasing after Katie (along with Jack) and he apologized to her for divorcing her because she slept with Simon.
