Anthony Addabbo as Dimitri Marick

Dimitri Marick is a fictional character from the ABC daytime drama All My Children, a long running soap opera set in the fictional city Pine Valley, Pennsylvania. Former Dynasty star Michael Nader originated the character.[1] Anthony Addabbo took over the role on April 6, 2001, and played Dimitri until July 9, 2001.[2] Agnes Nixon and Lorraine Broderick created the part in 1991, twenty-one years after the series debuted.[3] They designed Dimitri as a brooding and mysterious character based on heroes from gothic literature such as Maxim de Winter from Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca and Wuthering Heights's Heathcliff.[4] The character's introduction raised All My Children in the Nielsen ratings and saved the highly criticized Natalie and Janet storyline.[5]

Soon after his debut on the show, Dimitri became a complex leading man and took part in some of the most notable plots of the 1990s.[6] Those stories included popular romances with Susan Lucci's Erica Kane[7] and Finola Hughes's Alexandra Devane Marick[8] as well as a loving yet antagonistic fraternal relationship with John Callahan's Edmund Grey.[9]

Nader's two firings and arrest brought him and the character to the center of a large fan campaign organized by a group called the Loyalists, as well as a highly publicized lawsuit catching the attention of People and Entertainment Tonight among other media outlets.[10][11] In 2004, Nader's suit was subsequently thrown out.[12]

Background

Writing and portrayal

Agnes Nixon and Lorraine Broderick created the character Dimitri Marick in 1991. His original purpose was to rescue Natalie Marlowe from the well her sister, Janet Green, trapped her in.[3] He was also designed as a rival for Natalie's current love interest, Trevor Dillon. Trevor and Natalie were a popular couple at that point and the writers wanted to create a viable obstacle for them.[13] "We wanted a really exciting love triangle," said Broderick. "So we were looking for a really exciting, romantic, handsome leading man, so that there would be a real impediment; you know we'd have a really exciting love story between Trevor and somebody as different from Trevor as we could get...because Trevor is a wonderful, warm, teddy bear, lovable, down-to-earth, right-out-there guy- and Dimitri is very much opposite from that."[13]

He's certainly a man who wants to be in control. He's a very strong man, he's a very passionate man. He's had a troubled, tragic background, and is just beginning to come out into the world again after being quite reclusive for the past fifteen years. He is guarded, and he plays everything close to the vest. He is very slow to let other people in- except Natalie, with whom he feels a special and unique bond, because he rescued her and because he fell in love with her very quickly, which we hope will be part of the mystery.[13]

—Broderick, Soap Opera Update

Nixon and Broderick also crafted the character as a darkly brooding and mysterious man in the same vein as Gothic literary heroes such as Wuthering Heights's Heathcliff, Jane Eyre's Edward Rochester, and Rebecca's Maxim de Winter.[4] Nixon used these characters as inspiration for Dimitri because, as she told Soap Opera Weekly, "In doing the 'stolen life' story, I felt that we needed something to follow that was also a little larger than life, very romantic, and gothic."[4] The characters played a part in shaping Dimitri as well as his environment and storylines. Maxim de Winter's estate, Manderley, provided the inspiration for Dimitri's Pine Valley estate, Wildwind.[4][14] The design was taken from both the description in Du Maurier's book and the depiction from the film Rebecca, a 1940 adaptation of the novel by Alfred Hitchcock.[4] Like Mr. Rochester, the wife Dimitri falsely claims died years ago is revealed to be alive just before his marriage to another woman.[15]

Nixon infused elements of those literatures into the Dimitri and Natalie romance with as well. "There's a gothic quality to it", she said, referring to the couple. "It's Wuthering Heights or Jane Eyre. Everybody loves somebody who has a past and a secret- and certainly Dimitri does- which we haven't divulged yet. That heightens ones interest and suspense. It's a special situation but what really makes it special is the actor's talent, personalities, good looks, and chemistry."[3]

Since the writers created Dimitri as a very mysterious character, Michael Nader mostly stayed away from the press in order to help maintain that image.[13] Whenever he did do an interview, he discussed the character in such a way as to add more mystery.[13] Nader compared Dimitri to the Dynasty character he once portrayed, Dex Dexter.[16] On Dynasty, "John James (Jeff Colby) played the 'aw, shucks;' nice guy, and I played the guy who was on the edge, who would take care of business and not take any bull", he said. "Dimitri is sort of a darker Dex. Though I don't know exactly how dark to make him yet."[16] Nader, as an actor, also provided the writers with more inspiration on the character. "The more we see of him, the more he inspires us", Broderick said. "It's just a wonderful marriage of actor and character[...] He's giving us so many levels and such depth, that it's a challenge. But it's exciting. Dimitri is one of the characters that is so much fun to write."[13]

Casting

Casting the part of Dimitri gave All My Children difficulty. The show's casting director, Judy Blye Wilson, tested between fifteen and twenty actors, and could not find the right actor for the job.[13] Wilson then learned that the former Dynasty star, Michael Nader was available and suggested the show offer him the part.[13]

Before All My Children offered him the role of Dimitri Marick, Nader already planned on working in both Los Angeles and New York.[16] "My fiancee, Beth Windsor, had literally just worked into being bicoastal," he said. "She had an apartment here and I had been seeking out some theater here in New York and would have been spending time both here and in L.A. So after we made the decision to go ahead with that game plan, this offer (Dimitri) came on the table and when we worked out all the figures moneywise it was a great opportunity."[16] Despite Nader's prime time success as Dynasty's Dex Dexter, he did not look down on daytime television. "The fact of the matter is we're in a different era," he said. "And if you look at the cutbacks in Hollywood, being on a soap is not of any less or more value than being in any other medium at this time."[16] Another factor that contributed to his decision to join All My Children was the actors strike. He intended to stay on All My Children for a year. That year turned into more because the actor fell in love with New York.[17]

Since finding the right actor to play Dimitri took such a long time, the show had already begun taping around the character for two weeks.[16] Nader spent his first weeks on All My Children working overtime to catch up. "By the time we had resolved some of the terms," he said, "they were really against the wall in terms of back story...In retrospect, I should have just slept on the set because it was like sixty or seventy pages a day!"[16] Nader also taped his scenes out of sequence while dealing with sixteen different scripts from different points in the story.[16] To keep each scene straight he gave them each a name that described the scene's main action. After those scenes were taped, they were spliced into the otherwise completed episodes.[18] This went on for two weeks until the episodes were all caught up.[16]

Another complication Nader dealt with was the wardrobe. He said, "They had devised this sort of 'tapestry' layered look for Dimitri and it was like doing scenes inside a sauna." This was eventually rectified, but not before the actor lost around twelve pounds in the two weeks.[16]

Michael Nader was fired from All My Children in July 1999, due to budget considerations. The character Dimitri was killed off.[19][20] This led to a fan outcry from viewers who campaigned for the actor's return.[20] To partially appease them, the show's executive producer, Jean Dadario Burke, offered Nader his job back on a recurring basis.[21] He rejected this offer because "after being a major character for so long, it didn't make any sense to me. So I declined. But if the network was interested in seriously discussing Dimitri's return on a contract basis I would love to go back."[21]

In May 2000, he was rehired and brought back into the role with a multi-year contract.[22] The return story scripted for the Dimitri character centered around the romance between his brother Edmund and his wife Alex. Dimitri was revealed to be alive just as his wife, Alex, and brother, Edmund, had sex for the first time. Nader said he wanted to create a deeper layer in the character instead of focusing solely on the love triangle between Dimitri, Alex, and Edmund. "I do hope to pursue some sort of subtle spiritual change, some perception that Dimitri is different," he said.[23] He questioned the writers' storyline choice in not exploring the popular Dimitri and Erica romance again. "I found it sort of odd that they'd move me so far away from Susan[Lucci, Erica]," Nader said. "They're trying to explore these other themes."[23]

Nader lost the role again in February 2001 as a result of the actor getting arrested for allegedly selling cocaine to an undercover police officer.[24] All My Children released an official statement saying, "If Mr. Nader gets the help that he needs and addresses his problem, and it makes sense for the show, we would be prepared to speak with Michael in the future."[24] The network put Nader on probation and ordered him to seek help for his problem.[25]

Anthony Addabbo temporarily took over the role, first airing on April 6, 2001. To prepare for the role, he watched tapes of Nader's portrayal of Dimitri in order to see the relationships between Dimitri and other characters. Despite the fan protest against the role being recast, Addabbo told Soap Opera Digest he was not worried. "I don't find it intimidating," he said. "I know how they can come to love a certain actor portraying a role and how he plays the role and everything, but this happens in daytime so frequently that I didn't find it intimidating at all."[26] Soap Opera Digest considered him an odd choice for a Dimitri recast since Addabbo usually portrayed "all-American good guys" such as Generations Jason Craig and Guiding Light's Jim LeMay.[27] A large number of All My Children fans rejected Addabbo in the role and continued to campaign for Nader's return. The controversy forced the writers to lessen Dimitri's role on the show until July 2001 when Addabbo was let go "for storyline reasons", according to ABC's official statement.[27]

During an interview, Nader told Soap Opera Digest that in late September 2001, ABC called a meeting with him to inform him that, though he resolved his personal problems, they had no intention of ever bringing him or the character back due to lack of story.[6] Nader argued that other storyline possibilities existed since he and Dimitri received "a tremendous response" from viewers. "For years, Dimitri and Erica were a popular coupling," he said. "A good friend of mine, Jack Scalia (Chris), is on...that alone would be a dynamic triangle."[6]

Character backstory

To further the mystery element and add an international twist to the story, Nixon scripted Dimitri as having close European roots, though he is an American.[3] His parents are Russian and he spends much of his time in Europe. Originally, his wealth comes from all the land around Pine Valley and the One Life to Live city Llanview, which he inherits from his parents.[3] That is also where his fictional estate, Wildwind, is located.[4] Later, during Dimitri's 1992 story with Erica Kane, he is revealed to also be Hungarian royalty as Count Andrassy. He inherited his title and his Hungarian castle, Vadzel, from his father's side.[28] Both of his parents were dead by the time Dimitri first appears on All My Children.[4] He spends his childhood years growing up in Europe and on the Wildwind estate.[4] He and his half-brother Edmund are rivals, and his childhood sweetheart was Angelique, the daughter of his nanny, Helga. Helga later becomes his housekeeper.[4] Eighteen years prior to Dimitri's appearance on-screen, he and Angelique married. On their honeymoon, a riding accident leaves her in a coma.[4] He spends three years trying to find her a cure before giving up and becoming reclusive for the next fifteen years because of the guilt he feels over her condition.[4] Finding Natalie in 1991 brings him out into society again.[29]

Storyline

Dimitri Marick first appears on All My Children in 1991 when he rescues Natalie Marlow from the well her sister, Janet Green, trapped her in, on the Wildwind estate.[29] She resembles his wife, Angelique, which attracts him to her. While he nurses her back to health, Dimitri becomes obsessively in love with her. His housekeeper, Helga, warns him not to get involved with her because of his marriage to her comatose daughter, Angelique. He lies to Natalie that his wife died years ago.[4] Once Natalie recovers and everyone learns what happened to her at Janet's hand, Natalie's fiance, Trevor Dillon, tries to reconcile with her. She rejects him because Janet fooled him so easily. Dimitri and Natalie become engaged.[3] Unbeknown to Dimitri, Angelique awakens from her coma. Helga reveals Angelique is out of her coma by bringing her to Wildwind during Dimitri and Natalie's engagement party. Natalie leaves Dimitri and reunites with Trevor. Dimitri reconciles with his wife.[28]

In 1992, he leaves Angelique for Erica Kane. Dimitri and Erica's storylines include a tumultuous romance leading to two failed marriages and a miscarriage.[30][31] In that same year, Edmund Grey returns to town to see his childhood friend Angelique. While at Wildwind, he finds the will of Hugo Marick and learns he is not only his illegitimate son, but that he is the lawful heir to Wildwind. Helga destroys the evidence in order to keep the estate for Angelique. The truth eventually comes out and Helga dies.[28]

Dimitri also finds out his ward, Anton Lang, who he supported through medical school, is really his son with his maid, Corvina Lang (Margaret Sophie Stein).[32] He attempts to forge relationships with Anton and Edmund, which is sometimes difficult. Dimitri disapproves of his son's marriage to Kendall Hart because of her history of manipulating people. Anton leaves town in 1995 after divorcing Kendall. Dimitri and Edmund bond as brothers but they also continue to have a standing rivalry.[9] Their complicated relationship has its ups and downs until Dimitri leaves the show permanently in 2001 with his current wife, Alex Devane Marick.[6]

Reception

Dimitri became a popular leading man soon after his debut on All My Children in 1991 and "was prominent in some of the show's most memorable tales of that decade."[6] The character and his portrayer, Michael Nader, were credited with lifting the Nielsen ratings as well as saving the Natalie, Trevor, and Janet storyline.[5][13] In that storyline, the character Janet Green imprisons her sister Natalie in a well and masquerades as Natalie to seduce her fiance Trevor. Fans and soap opera press criticized the story.[5][3] In Soap Opera Weekly, Marlena De Lacroix said, "Dimitri was the saving grace of the storyline I'd earlier called an artistic disaster: the Janet and Natalie body switch."[5] She described Dimitri as a "cross between Rudolph Valentino's Sheik and the gothic Maxim de Winter from Rebecca."[5] Viewers found the character "irresistible"; so much so that Soap Opera Digest questioned whether the character was a diversion from the failed storyline.[3][16] All My Children's head writer Agnes Nixon denied this. "We expected to get negative mail on Janet/Nat," she said, "they [the viewers] don't like it but they [keep] watching."[3]

The character gained further success with the popular Dimitri and Erica pairing.[33] In 1993, viewers named them a supercouple, along with One Life to Live's Bo and Nora and Days of our Lives' Roman and Marlena.[34] In 2008, Entertainment Weekly listed them among the top seventeen supercouples.[7] Soap Opera Digest compared them to the real life couple Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton because of their tumultuous nature.[35]

The romance between Dimitri and Finola Hughes' Alexandra Devane Marick also rose in popularity. Soap Opera Update named them the best couple of the year in 1999 for All My Children despite the fact that their love story played out through brief flashbacks.[8] The magazine compared the couple's relationship to the television series Once and Again.[8] Soap Opera Update also referred to them as the "break out supercouple of the year".[36]

The Dimitri character took a darker turn in the 1997, in what Soap Opera Digest considered an effort to make Erica more sympathetic after her role in the kidnapping of the baby Maddie Grey (then known as Sonja).[37] Soap Opera Digest praised the move in an article naming Nader Performer of the Week, saying, "Nader has been surprisingly effective as a meanie, and nothing short of brilliant taking an already complex character and making him more compelling."[37] Soap Opera Weekly's Gabrielle Winkel expressed similar sentiments, saying, "Michael Nader is far more entertaining and compelling now that Dimitri is out for himself than when he was as Erica's devoted husband...AMC was right on target when it developed Dimitri's dark side. Nader's brooding looks and raspy voice have always given Dimitri that evil edge. Nader, though, wisely keeps Dimitri's obsessiveness sufficiently in check to make it believable."[38] At the conclusion of the storyline Soap Opera Digest again named him Performer of the Week for "unleashing the sort of go-for-broke fury and fray that actors are usually reluctant to release unless they're certain their character is about to be killed off."[39]

Dimitri and Edmund

Soap Opera Digest noted the rarity of brothers like Edmund Grey and Dimitri Marick.[9] In the soap opera genre, brothers with a standing rivalry as well as a strong fraternal bond are considered to be a rarity. Sisters on soap operas were usually the ones who shared "men, makeup, and misery".[9] Dimitri and Edmund's relationship was scripted as complicated, transitioning between loving and antagonistic.[9] Growing up, Edmund was raised as the gardeners son while Dimitri lived the life of privilege. They did not find out they were brothers until they were well into adulthood.[40]

Their relationship gained positive feedback from both viewers and the soap opera media.[40] Soap Opera Digest named them Best Brothers of 1994, saying, "In Michael Nader (Dimitri) and John Callahan (Edmund), AMC has charismatic performers with chemistry, and they're making the most of it."[40] Complications in the brother's relationship included childhood jealousies, the revelation that they were brothers, the paternity of Maddie Grey, and the Dimitri, Alex, and Edmund triangle.[40][41][42] Along with the conflict, they displayed a loving relationship where they stood by each other.[9][40] In describing the relationship, Nader said, "The storyline with Edmund and Dimitri, the Marick brothers, there wasn't a brother duo on television that had the sort of power that John and I could bring to that relationship."[6]

Storylines they featured in met with both praise and negative reactions. With the plot centering around Maddie Grey's paternity and kidnappings, All My Children "fans revolted en masse."[41] Yet Soap Opera Digest hailed the plot as "one of the best told, most fascinating storylines of the year."[41] In the Dimitri, Alex, and Edmund triangle, viewers took two opposing views on which brother should end up with Alex.[36] Soap Opera Weekly proclaimed the triangle a hit,[43] while Soap Opera Update rated it a ten out of ten.[36] In the storyline, Alex and Edmund fall in love while her husband Dimitri is presumed dead. They eventually become engaged. When he returns and witnesses their happy relationship, Dimitri decides not to interfere. "The dilemma for Dimitri is his brother's happiness," Nader said. "As much as he loves Alex, he's made the choice to give her to Edmund."[44] Alex discoveres Dimitri alive first. They reunite and engage in sex. Edmund finds out and feels betrayed by them both. The scenes of the confrontation between all three characters was written to express the views of both the Dimitri and Alex and the Edmund and Alex fans.[42] The viewers who rooted for Edmund argued that Dimitri and Alex betrayed him by having sex immediately after reuniting. Viewers who supported Dimitri argued that the reunion was not a betrayal since Dimitri was Alex's husband.[42] Alex ends up with Dimitri, which changes "Edmund from a jaded, one-note character into a far more multidimensional and intriguing hero."[43] Soap Opera Weekly praised All My Children for not dragging the triangle out and instead using it as a catalyst for character development.[43]

Controversy and Loyalists

In what Soap Opera Digest named the year's Dumbest Male Axing in 1999, Nader was fired from the role of Dimitri and the character was killed off.[19][45] The firing "set off a firestorm of protest from devoted fans."[46] Those fans came together to form a group called the Loyalists and campaigned for the actor's return. They "bombarded" All My Children with letters centering around three major complaints concerning Nader's dismissal, as summarized in Soap Opera Digest: "1) They have waited two years for a Dimitri/Erica reunion, which they won't get now that he's leaving. 2) They adore Nader's chemistry with on-screen brother John Callahan (Edmund) and don't want to lose it. 3) They fear that Nader has been sacrificed to make room in the budget for new- and younger- cast members."[47] In response to the last complaint, an All My Children spokesperson pointed out the storylines planned for characters over thirty years old such as Tad, Dixie, Erica, David, Edmund, and Alex.[47]

Nader thanked the Loyalists for their support and expressed his surprise at the size of the response.[18][20] "[T]he expanse and impact were quite astounding to me," he said. "In my years of doing this, I never experienced this kind of support."[18] Susan Lucci commented on the fan response, saying, "So many people stop me on the street and ask me, 'Will Dimitri ever come back and will he and Erica ever get together.'"[22]

At a fan luncheon, the Loyalists confronted All My Children's executive producer Jean Dadario Burke with a petition asking for Nader's return.[21][46] They also organized a tune-out of the show on November 5, 1999. To appease them at least in part, Burke offered Nader his job back on a recurring basis, which he refused.[21] In 2000, All My Children rehired him on a contract basis. His co-star, Hughes was happy about the news, saying his return would "give a huge injection of 'fuel'" to the Alex and Edmund romance.[48]

In 2001, Nader was arrested for cocaine possession. All My Children suspended him and demanded he get treatment.[6][25] They cast Addabbo in the role as a temporary replacement.[6] Fans of Nader, the Loyalists in particular, rejected the recast. Though the majority of the viewers did not take to him, Addabbo gained an amount of support from fans who wanted him to continue in the role or portray a different character once Nader returned.[49] Soap Opera Digest criticized the casting of Addabbo because the actor usually portrayed "all-American good guys", the opposite of the Dimitri Marick role.[27] In July of that year, Addabbo was let go and Dimitri was officially written out.[6]

After Nader got help for his drug addiction at Hazelton Clinic in Minnesota,[50] All My Children opted not to bring him back. Nader filed a $31.7 million lawsuit against ABC for breach of contract under the Americans with Disabilities Act.[25][50][51] ABC's lawyers cited Nader's violation of the morals clause in his contract as justification for not rehiring him.[12] The firing and lawsuit caught the attention of non-soap opera medias such as TV Guide, Inside Edition, People, Celebrity Justice, Extra, Entertainment Tonight, and Larry King Live.[10][11][51][52][53][54][55] Manhattan Federal Judge Jed S. Rakoff threw out the suit in 2004.[12]
