If you watched All My Children back in the day, especially in the early 90’s you’ll remember a certain Dimitri Marick portrayed by none other than Michael Nader, one of the many loves of Erica Cane (Susan Lucci), he came with his own set of baggage including a thought to be dead wife named Angelique who was actually not dead at all but ended up coming between he and Erica in a surprising turn of events.
We were a soap family and I still remember my Mom recounting the absolutely gripping tale of how they actually found a very much alive Angelique, I had been at school while this happened but she was nice enough to tell me what happened afterwards.
‘All My Children’: All My Children Star Michael Nader dies at 76
Dimitri came along sometime after Erica’s marriage to Bianca’s father, the brother of Jackson Montgomery (Walt Willey) had dissolved and after little Bianca had had her own medical drama. (Again, a storyline I got interested in because Bianca was a kid, roughly my age.) Throughout the 90’s their love story was off and on, but she wasn’ the only Pine Valley resident Dimitri romanced.
Nor was All My Children the only soap Nader was on. He got his start much earlier in 1983, appearing in Dynasty, as Dex, one of Alexis’ Carrington’s lovers. He also had parts in other shows such as Magnum P.I., Cold Case, Law & Order: SVU, and even Gidget!
Most recently, he and his beloved wife of 18 years, Jodi Lister, who made the sad announcement, said that recently Nader had participated in a virtual event with his former Dynasty castmates, notably Emma Samms, for a fundraiser dedicated to Long Covid research. Together they have adopted and fostered many, many dogs and that his last rescue, Storm, was by his side when the time came.
It seems that Nader had the right idea, up until the very end, he kept giving back to the world and was dedicated to helping those who couldn’t help themselves. He leaves behind a wonderful, entertaining legacy. We at DSD will always fondly remember him and know that the fans will as well, both human and canine. Stay tuned!!!
