In the social media post that has since been removed, Antoine wrote, "If anyone knew my brother or knows where he might be, please DM me. Any information is helpful. He was last seen in the Hamilton area with a woman named Elizabeth Spencer. He usually goes on Facebook every day but has not been on his socials for over a month."

The next day, Antoine revealed that Michael had been spotted by a homeless encampment, but she had no further information. However, the actress was grateful to the Facebook community for coming together and offering tips.

On January 20, Antoine was relieved to post that Michael had been found but did not offer much detail on what had happened to him and what might happen next. All she did was express her gratitude.

Antoine posted a graphic with the following words:

"The good news? He's alive and I am processing the rest," the graphic said. "Thank you to everyone who posted and messaged me. The rest is up to G-d. I believe there is a bigger plan."

She expressed more of her feelings in the caption alongside the graphic.

"Hold space and grace for families struggling with mental health and addiction," Antoine wrote. "We will press on and keep praying for my bro. No more searching but I will never give up hope."

Fellow soap stars, including Finola Hughes (Anna Devane, GH), Brytni Sarpy (ex-Valerie Spencer, GH/Elena Dawson, The Young and the Restless), Michelle Stafford (ex-Nina Reeves, GH/Phyllis Summers, Y&R), and Karla Mosley (ex-Maya Forrester, The Bold and the Beautiful/Dani Dupree, Beyond the Gates) shared how glad they were that Antoine's prayers had been answered.

Antoine also posted a video of her brother hard at work in a restaurant kitchen where she expressed her love for Michael.

"He's good," she wrote. "Like...really kind. Deep inside. Hidden behind this mysterious, scary, dark world of addiction. I don't understand it. But I'm learning. You are loved bro. We're here when you're ready."
