One Life’s Dr. McBain arrested in real life
It’s so sad watching Nathaniel Marston on One Life to Live these days - wondering if it will be his last days on the show.
Marston, who plays Dr. Michael McBain, allegedly attacked three men Sunday and was arrested on charges including assault and resisting arrest.
Marston is involved in the front-burner baby Tommy kidnapping storyline and fans are flooding message boards with concern for the popular actor and his family.
The charges stem from an altercation where Marston, 32, allegedly attacked the men with a crate at 4:30 a.m. and then turned on police as they tried to arrest him, according to a felony complaint filed in Manhattan Criminal Court.
The complaint says Marston struck one man on the hand; hit another in the back of the neck and swung the crate at a third man, causing him to fall backward and break his leg.
When police arrived, Marston, a former amateur boxer, began flailing his arms and kicking at officers, the complaint says. One of the officers received medical treatment for a cut hand and a bruised knee. Marston was admitted to Bellvue

This is not Marston’s first brush with the law. In 1999, he was arrested on criminal mischief charges after punching and damaging an ATM machine in Manhattan. He was fined and ordered to attend anger management classes.

Hmmm … had no idea this wasn’t his first brush with the law. But have a feeling ABC will cut Marston loose regardless.
I feel for the guy, but after he was let go as Al, then brought back due to fan protest, ABC may feel like they’ve given him more than enough chances.
And if it really is a drug related issue, remember when Michael Nader was unceremoniously dumped by ABC due to his drug problem? Even his stint in rehab didn’t earn him another chance & I “think” he was a bigger draw & was on a more popular soap (at the time).
This will sound crazy but I feel for their co-workers too, Kathy Brier in particular. It took OLTL awhile to finally get her Marcie a great storyline & she seemed to mesh well w/Marston’s Michael.
For this to come in the midst of this major storyline that will be a huge part of OLTL history thanks to Tommy, all I can say is wow, just sad.
Hope they don’t kill the Michael character off completely tho! You know how Todd can be …
Now it is REALLY too bad they killed off Hugh Hughes, huh (remember he had a thing for Marcy & was a cutie to boot!)
Maybe wasshername & Spencer had twins & he hid the other one lol
