Brief Character History: Feeling guilty about the death of Jackson Harrison, Michael took Virginia and Jimmy under his wing and has provided for them. When Michael began dating Vanessa Hart, Virginia began to show signs of extreme jealousy but continued to paint a sweet, vulnerable facade to Michael. He’s torn between his friendship with Virginia and his girlfriend, Vanessa’s, extreme distrust of Virginia’s true intentions about Michael. He planned on proposing to Vanessa on the night of Jimmy's birthday, but to his surprise, she was a no-show. He has no idea where she went. He would have moved heaven and earth to find her. He believed that Tyus knew where Vanessa went. He did not give up until he found his true love again. He discovered that Vanessa left because she had Martin's Syndrome, a skin disfiguring disease. Eventually Michael found Vanessa during an earthquake and he told her that he knew that she had Martin's Syndrome. He also told her that he injected himself with Martin's Syndrome so the cure could be tested on him. Michael recovered and so did Vanessa and now they are planning to wed.
