(SoapOperaNetwork.com) - Five characters exit Pine Valley as "All My Children" moves into the hot and heavy months of summer.

Leven Rambin, 18, will last air on "All My Children" on Tuesday, June 10. The Emmy-nominated actress joined the cast of "AMC" in May 2004 as Lily Montgomery and began playing Lily's identical half-sister, Ava Benton, in March 2007. Rambin taped her last scenes as Lily during an "AMC" location shoot in Long Island on May 19; Ava's last appearance on the show was during Pine Valley's Go Red Fashion Show in February. The young actress announced her decision to not re-sign with the show in the current issue of Soap Opera Weekly..

Billy Miller has been let go from "AMC." Miller started his stint in Pine Valley as Wes, the bartender who would soon be revealed to be sociopath Richie Novak, sister of Annie Lavery (Melissa Claire Egan). Opal's (Jill Larson) ominous tarot card reading along with a long string of very bad deeds going unpunished seemed to foretell this bad boy's faith months ago. Miller began playing the role of Richie Novak in August 2007. The handsome young actor will tape his last scenes as Richie in the not too distant future; do not expect Mr. Novak to make a quiet exit.

Charles Parnell who began playing Derek Frye in September 2005 last aired in the role this past March. The role, previously played by William Christian from 1991 to 2005, will not be recast. In the upcoming weeks, look for Jesse Hubbard, played by Darnell Williams, to step up to the plate and take on the job of Pine Valley's newest Chief of Police.

Cady McClain last airs in her short-term stint as Dixie Cooney Martin's ghost on Thursday, June 12. When asked about a potential longer Pine Valley stay for McClain in the future, "AMC" executive producer Julie H. Carruthers responds that she'd never rule it out.

BILLY!!!!!!! WHYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!?????????? /Simone He could have been a great villanous character but they never gave him a real shot. Damn them to hell!! Sacrificed at the alter of Babe. I'll never get Richie/Amanda hot monkey sex!

What I would love to see is Richie take the fall for Annie at this point. Send him out a martyr!!

Then Annie can take Emma and run away with her from Pine Valley. At this point, Ryan isn't going to bother looking for her. He'll be like Tad was with Kate for the past two years. Pick up the phone, chase a lead once every six months and AMC can make it look like he's doing something to find her. :lol:


My poor Billy. Hopefully the OLTL rumors are true and he'll show up over there. I would be one happy camper then!!

I'll take him on OLTL as a Buchanan. He can be Joey and I wouldn't complain one bit. It just depends upon who they decide to pair him with. OOOOH! A Joey/Gigi/Rex Tringle!! Would be the hawt.

I could definitely see some chemistry possibilities with him and Gigi. Bring it on!

Knowing my luck though, he wouldn't be cast as a Buchanan so they could put him with Jessica. Sorry, I'm just not a Jessica/Bree fan. JMO.

Richie is enknowsent!!!!!!

OLTL though? Another sign that I should watch that show!

MINDY!! I was thinking that but I didn't want to put that out in the atmosphere! I figured if he was a Buchanan they would honor the adoption...not like it matters on other soaps. *I'm looking at you Days!*

OMG, for some reason, I just imagined a Joey/Todd/David/Rex scene… *fans self* With Antonio dancing in the background. LMAO.

LOL! Glad I'm not the only one!

I just pictured them doing the "You can leave your hat on" dance the guys did for Broadway Cares. *passes out from heat stroke* LMAO!
