Michael Lillard Though not the first choice for an heir, Michael was finally chosen to carry on the legacy - something he could've done without. Still, like his father before him, he found the joys of parenthood better than he'd first imagined.
Not long after becoming an adult, he moved his girlfriend, Dagmar Bertino, into the family home. Elizabeth and Brandon weren't happy about the arrangement, but added an extra bedroom onto the house for the young couple anyway. Dagmar soon became pregnant, and - much to his parents' dismay - the couple still chose not to marry.
It wasn't until young Ian had reached his teen years, and Dagmar became pregnant a second time that Michael and Dagmar finally tied the knot.
Congressman Michael died, like his father, some time after his wife but was able to see his granddaughter, Reese, before going on to that great Hula Party in the Sky.
