"Entertainment Tonight" said ABC was keeping any upcoming plotlines in Jennifer Garner's series close to the chest.

At least one Web site organized a fan campaign to try and discourage any kind of move to oust Vartan from "Alias," "ET" said.

The posting at www.mvcampaign.com says: "Many of us feel that if this were to occur, it would be showing the show, the viewers, and Mr. Vartan a huge lack of both respect and loyalty ... So, we have decided to take action and do something to express our feelings to ABC."
