Jen's on-screen beau may go out with a bang
By Gayle Fee and Laura Raposa
MAJOR SPOILERS!
Don't breathe a word of this. Because nobody's supposed to know. But Michael Vartan fans might want to make sure they tune into the season premiere of ''Alias.'' Because according to our on-set spies, it will be the final farewell appearance of agent Michael Vaughn.
''If you want to see Michael, you shouldn't miss the first show,'' said our spy.
According to the super-secret script, Vartan's character is killed off in dramatic fashion in the season premiere -- and conspiracy theorists are suggesting it's because Vartan and leading lady Jennifer Garner have been at odds since she dumped him for Ben Affleck!
But at least Vartan gets to go out with a bang.
''In the show, Michael is investigating some case and is set up,'' said our spy. ''He gets shot numerous times but does not die on the scene. He makes it to the hospital where he eventually dies.''
Vartan's onscreen paramour, Sydney Bristow, aka Garner, is with him when he flat-lines and has to identify his body. As promised, the writers work Garner's real-life pregnancy into the plot of the show, leaving Bristow pregnant with Vaughn's child. For the rest of the season she is on a mission to find out who killed her baby's father.
In real life, of course, Garner is due to give birth to Ben's baby in the fall and for the better part of a year there have been rumors of trouble on the ''Alias'' set. Garner dated Vartan before she hooked up with her hub. In fact, she dumped Vartan for Affleck.
Reportedly this has led to hard feelings between the co-stars. But our spies say Vartan is ''over it.''
''He wishes them nothing but the best.''
A rep for ABC has declined to discuss the upcoming season's plot developments. So, as always, do stay tuned.
