In what may end up being a futile attempt, fans of Alias star Michael Vartan are campaigning to resurrect his character after they learned he was killed off in the upcoming season.

Now comes word from an insider that Aug. 17 was Vartan’s last day of shooting, when he was supposedly killed off. Fans have banded together to create mvcampaign.com to lobby for his resurrection.

One insider said: “Many of Michael’s fans feel he is being treated very poorly by ABC. He has always been a big promoter of the show, not to mention a great guy, and to have him fired in what is probably the last year of the show is unbelievable.”

…

ABC has been deluged with letters, e-mails and phone calls from the campaign, a network insider moaned, while the campaign is also raising money to place an ad in Variety or the Hollywood Reporter.

Some have speculated that Jennifer Garner has pressured producers to remove Michael from the show due to their past relationship, her recent marriage to Ben Affleck, and amid growing tensions between her and Michael.
