Nikita star Shane West has denied rumours that his character Michael will get together with Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca).
Fonseca previously suggested that a romance between the pair "is possible" but West has now told TV Line that the relationship is "not gonna happen".
"Michael can't date her," he insisted. "It just can't happen unless they want Michael to be a bad guy."
The actor claimed that Michael's past relationship with Nikita (Maggie Q) would rule out a union with Alex.
"[She] reminds him of Nikita [so] does that mean he's dated more... students that remind him of Nikita?" he wondered. "That makes him a creep. It just can't happen."
West added that his character's affection for Alex is "more fatherly".
"Michael cares about his students, period," he said. "I feel if Michael were to have something with Alex, it honestly cheapens [him] as a human being."
