High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! 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.Anthony Addabbo took over the role in April 6, 2001 and played Dimitri until July 9, 2001. Agnes Nixon and Lorraine Broderick created the part in 1991, twenty-one years after the series debuted. 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. The character's introduction raised All My Children in the Nielson ratings and saved the highly criticized Natalie and Janet storyline. 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. Those stories included popular romances with Susan Lucci's Erica Kane and Finola Hughes's Alexandra Devane Marick as well as a loving yet antagonistic fraternal relationship with John Callahan's Edmund Grey.
