"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!"
