It's truly a shame, isn't it? But we must remember not to hate the voice actors, and I'm glad we haven't done so. The man has proven he's a versatile voice actor who can manage many accents and personas, they just wasted all of it on a character who in and of himself has been an absolute disaster, one that has had a majorly negative impact on the series. It's the writing behind Mike and perhaps the original idea that conceived him that are to blame for this fiasco. Mr. Doran just tries his best to deliver the best performance he can as all of the other voice actors do, and even when their characters are actively getting deconstructed and derailed, they still manage a good performance which sadly cannot offset the damage dealt by the scripts they are given. Shame that anybody's performance is being wasted on some of the material we've seen that simply doesn't work.

You're right that he could've just been voicing multiple characters instead. Perhaps even B if it had come to that. They forced him to dedicate all of that talent to the wrong place. To the wrong idea. I don't mind Cory Doran coming back for other roles if he were to get them. But Mike himself should just be written out entirely. This twitter post was a total fake, and hopefully there will be no further word of Mike once the real information starts coming about.
