ABC's
Alias could use a boost, as the show has dropped down to 70th place (7.2 million) for the week ended Sunday, per Nielsen Media Research.
Fans have been very vocal about the studio's decision to move the
Jennifer Garner spy series to Thursday nights, where it's up against such shows as
Survivor, and the producers have heard complaints about the sudden departure of Michael Vartan, whose character Michael Vaughn was supposedly killed in the season five premiere.
That boost might have come, with
TV Guide's
Ask Ausiello reporting that Vartan is back on the set:
Anyway, yes, there is a major — major — development on the Vartan/Vaughn front: The deal officially closed late last week and Vartan returned to work on the Alias set yesterday. Please don't ask me who he's playing or how long his return engagement will last, because that I can't tell you. (Mostly 'cause, well, I don't know.)Now, if the studio would just move it back to Wednesdays after
Lost, everyone would be happy.
