Brief Character History
Michael McBain grew up in Atlantic City. When his father died, he was raised by his mother Eve and his older brother John. Michael left home to attend boarding school on a scholarship. College followed and then medical school. Along the way, Michael became soulless. He came to Llanview and started interning at Llanview Hospital.
When Al Holden died, his love for Marcie was so strong that his spirit came back to earth. Appearing to Marcie in visions, Al saw his chance to be with her when Michael died after taking the wrong medication. Seeing another chance, Al's soul entered Michael's body. However, there was a catch--Marcie believed him to be Michael. That same day, Al's deceased stepmother, Luna, told Al that he only had until Valentine's Day to make Marcie to recognize him. As the months went on, Al got closer to his goal, but then learned that he would lose his memories if he succeeded in getting Marcie to fall in love with Michael. On Valentine's Day, Marcie finally realized the truth when she saw Al in Michael's eyes. Al then told Marcie that although his spirit had to go to heaven, Michael would have his soul. After a final kiss, Al left for heaven, and Michael and Marcie had no recollection of his ever being there. However, both did remember their courtship of the last few months and started a new relationship.
Michael began a campaign against Dr. Long, the then Chief of Staff of Llanview hospital. Dr. Long had scolded Dorian for having Michael, a first year resident, care for Viki. He later saw Dr. Long sneaking a peek at someone's medical chart.
During another incident, Dorian saved a little girl's life after she had a violent reaction from a bee sting, which impressed Michael. Dr. Long was angry because Dorian was an administrator, not a physician, at the time. Michael came to her defense, but Dr. Long berated him. Michael and Dorian then saw Dr. Long talking with Paul Cramer and found it rather curious, especially when Michael mentioned that he'd seen the man around the MedEvac flight choppers.
Michael began to investigate Dr. Long after learning that he donated a dead patient's organs, even though the widow insisted that no donor card had been signed. Determined to find out more about Dr. Long, Michael broke into his office while Marcie stood guard at the door. However, Michael broke his leg after falling out of the window trying to escape when Dr. Long returned unexpectedly to his office.
While Michael was hospitalized, he spied on Dr. Long and Paul, despite warnings from John and Marcie. Dorian found out about Michael's spying and said that she wanted to know what was going on as well.
Michael convinced his cousin Shannon to spy on Dr. Long, but all she got was pictures of Natalie and Paul kissing on the helipad. Dr. Long later snooped around in Michael's hospital room, but Michael pretended to be asleep. Michael suspected Dr. Long of stealing donor organs, these suspicions were confirmed when Dorian informed him and Marcie that a donor heart was stolen.
Later, Dr. Long tricked Michael by mentioning a trip to Atlanta. Michael and Marcie then attempted to break into Dr. Long's office, only to get caught. Michael threatened to tell the police about the doctor's harvesting organs and auctioning them off, as well as suspicious helicopter flights and removal of organs without consent. Dr. Long presented them with what seems to be authentic signed forms and documentation, Michael and Marcie became apologetic. Dr. Long was supposedly the Northeastern Director of Transplant Coordination. Dr. Long then called the police to arrest Michael for breaking and entering. After a cop arrived, Dr. Long told him that it was a misunderstanding, giving Michael and Marcie a second chance. Once they left the office, Michael pulled out the file, which he believed to be fake and planned to turn it over to the police.
Marcie brought Michael home from the hospital. Michael was convinced that the papers Dr. Long had shown them were fake and that he was selling the organs illegally. They decided they needed to find someone to pretend to be the relative of a rich person that needed a transplant and that way they could get the proof they needed against Dr. Long. John showed up to yell at them, he had learned from the police that Dr. Long had almost had Michael and Marcie arrested. He promised to look into it and find out what Dr. Long was up to.
Michael and Marcie began to receive threatening phone calls. Michael began to have nightmares, and a window was broken at Jen's house, where he and Marcie were staying.
Marcie then went to the hospital while Dr. Long was being questioned by John. John had released Dr. Long, who trapped Marcie in a freezer room. Michael rushed to the hospital and confronted Dr. Long, who was carrying an organ cooler. This cooler contained a donor heart that was meant for Viki. Dr. Long and Michael fouht on the rooftop of the hospital and the donor heart fell out of the cooler and became contaminated. Dr. Long was going to kill Michael and Marcie, but John and Antonio arrived on the scene and arrested him.
Soon after, Marcie brought her manuscript, The Killing Club, to Michael for him to read. He encouraged Marcie to seek out a publisher, even introducing her to literary agent Hayes Barber. However, Marcie's new schedule with trying to get her book published and Michael's work at the hospital put a distance between the two, and they eventually agreed they were better friends than lovers, even though Michael still has very strong feelings for Marcie. When he was accused of murdering Tico Santi, she helped to clear his name, the same way that Michael stood by Marcie when she was hit with a car driven by Margaret Cochran. Although he was there for her when first Hudson and Julie were murdered and then Jen died, the two are still not together.
