In the interim, Duell is looking forward to what’s next; particularly how Michael’s experience with Nelle and his character moving forward.
“I hated being a pushover for a long time… having Michael give [Nelle] too much of the benefit of the doubt,” shares Duell.
“It’s nice that he finally woke up, that he finally got his crap together, took charge and pushed back. I hope that it’s a permanent change in him. Michael’s been through a lot. It’s nice that he’s finally grown a backbone.”
No More Crazy Stupid Love
While Duell hasn’t a clue what’s next for his character on the leading lady front, there are a few things he’s hoping for.
Namely, that the next woman Michael is involved with “is actually good to him… that she’s not trying to kill him,” he delivers with a smile. “I hope that Michael [comes out of this] stronger and knows what he’s looking for, instead of being the nice guy who’s trying to fix situations.
“I hope he’s going to be smarter about the next girl he chooses,” Duell continues. “After all the crap that’s happened to him already, I hope he’s going to be in a good relationship. That’s where I think [the writers] are going.”
Nurse Francesa (Celesta DeAstis), who Michael’s already dated, is an option. Plus, there are others. “Kiki (Hayley Erin) and Michael have a history,” points out Duell, before mentioning another actress on the canvas.
“I said Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) once. She’s older than him, obviously, but that doesn’t really matter. Abby (Andrea Bogart) was about 10 years older than him, and Michael does have an older personality.”
