Aidan Devane - AMC - Have you heard?

Soaps.com has learned that All My Children's Aidan Turner, who plays the popular character Aidan Devane, will be let go in time for the show's move to Los Angeles!

Aidan will work until his current contract has been fulfilled.

In a statement, ABC had this to say, "Mr. Turner’s departure is storyline dictated. Given AMC's upcoming move to Los Angeles, we wanted to give Mr. Turner advance notice so he could plan accordingly. Mr. Turner is a talented actor and we wish him well."

Soaps.com is disheartened to hear of this development, but certainly we wish Aidan all of the best in his future endeavors, and thank him for all of the pleasure he's given us during his tenure on AMC.

I think they just brought him there and then forgot about him. He had so much more potential than they gave him a chance to show. Any opinions?

    They left Aidan wading in still waters a long time ago, so it's no big surprise that they finally decided to get up the guts to let him know what's going on. I'm betting anything that the news comes as no surprise to the actor, either!

    Wow! The last time they said that someone's departure was storyline dictated and gave all of this crap about what a great asset they were to the show, and what an awesome person they were to work with ... Babe was killed off!

    Guess that means that Aidan will turn out to be Stuart's killer, and he will be killed off trying to finish off Adam, huh?

    Wow, I hate to hear that. I always liked Aidan and felt like he has never been given a good storyline to bring his character to the front. Aidan Turner developed the character of Aidan Devane into someone we always wanted more of...but sadly never got.

    I hope that Aidan Turner finds his niche in another show and I wish him all the best, because he deserves it.

    Now I will be really mad if they "kill him off" in some crazy storyline like they did with Josh...or don't give him a good send-off.

    What I'd really love and I think I'm going to write GH to do is to nab Aidan Turner, Thorsten Kay and Rebecca Budig. They'd make great additions to GH and then maybe, just maybe GH will get a little more interesting.

    I personally wouldn't mind if Elizabeth found love in either one of those guys!

    lady, simmer down! i theory I had it undesirable. i admire the story line! It has each and all the standards of a solid cleansing soap episode like somebody is somebody else after attractiveness surgical treatment and that they are the long misplaced nephew of so and so. i could fairly decide directly to work out this performed out besides the fact that, i admire Ryan and Greenlee jointly. I fell in love with them whilst they fell in love. i for my area cherished Greenlee with Leo however the 1st Leo is long gone--(now it fairly is a few thing we could consistently protest approximately--the 1st Leo grow to be SMOKIN') Aiden gets on my nerves sometimes with the accessory factor. Zack additionally. Are those accents pretend or are they actual?

    It's sad (since they never gave Aidan a real chance) but I'm not surprised. He's just been appearing and disappearing for quite a while. Even when he was on fairly regularly, it was so unclear what he was really up to- about seeing Greenlee's body, all that stuff with Annie, etc. I do hope they leave us with some explanation. I'd love for them to move the character to GH and have him get Sam and Spinelli some real P.I. cases.

    Well, this handsome, smart and rich man could never hold a girl. It doesn't make much since but made his character less interesting and more disposable. What soap character doesn't have at least one child or been married?

    That is exactly what happened! He is one of the best looking guys on the show and they rarely used him. I love him, maybe he can go to GH and spend time with his cousin Robin! This is such a shame!

    Thanks for the info. I hadn't heard. I wish him well also, but won't miss the character. He always thought he was above the law.

    Was wondering where he was.

    Who else will be leaving?

    What I will miss is how pretty he is to look at.
