I seriously Hate AMC for taking Aidan off the show...he is soooo hot and his role was quite interesting with Greenlee!!! They were SOOOO HOTTT!! Bring them back....I think as someone mention previously that ryan and greenlee has died off and they need to keep script with aidan and greenlee...And keep kendall and zach....the ryan and erica is just nasty...why does AMC always make a good script bad?....they dont know how to keep a good act going I must say I have been watching AMC for a while and it hasnt been good the last year i dont like watching it.....i think they get rid of a lot of good actors that they need to keep....PLEASE keep Aidan!!! I love him!! Even tho they dont give him a good role it was good with greenlee!!!

So, it's STORY LINE DICTATED.....I am SO not happy with you AMC....Not only are you letting go one of your hot, talented actors, before he leaves, you are RUINING his character! Aidan Devane would NEVER, EVER in a billion years be doing something like this. Where is Anna Devane? Come back to Pine Valley Anna and save Aidan....plus, Anna was great when she was with Dr. David Hayward!

I have only commented one time before...BUT....I pretty well quit watching AMC at that time...it was ridiculous@ the time...bringing Greenlee back.....well it's on oft used old trick...bringing back the dead. If they are making this move because Rebecca was such an important part of the show I guess I can understand that, but at the cost of some of the other main characters? That doesn't make sense. Do you really think more people will watch if she is on the show but you destroy the Slater clan and Aiden and a few others? Maybe new writers can save it yet, but I think you will be sorry. I watch occasionally, but think I am finished with all of it. It's just hard to see mistakes in story lines again and again. Once it was enjoyable with smart, strong characters that held strong through their misadventures (Hailey and Mateo). Zach and Kendall in the beginning....other pairings were enjoyable also, but everything has just been getting stupider by the day. Maybe new writers will help. For the most part though I think the old writers have pretty well destroyed AMC and it will take some EXCEPTIONAL STORY LINES to save the show. Good Luck!!

I've watched AMC faithfully for the last 20-25yrs, and am sad to say that within the last 2-5 years or so, the show has really gone down hill. I've stuck with it because my entire family that watch's soaps used to be die hard AMC fans. Getting rid of Aidan Turner is a bad decision for AMC and perhaps a good thing for him. His character Aidan Devane wasn't written as well as he could have been, and terribly under used where as others are constantly in the spot light to the point where myself and other fans have become disgusted. Its just yet another example of AMC's poor writing over the last few years. I'm confident that Aidan Turner will find something that will allow him to truly showcase his talent.

One of the major perks of watching soaps is the hot men. Aidan is smokin hot. When he had a reasonable story line he was very interesting. He is cool with all his special training and skills. That accent is to die for. It is hard to understand why the writers decided to just completely lame him out. Plainly foolish.Disappointed to see him go.

Unfortunately now that Aiden Turner & Thorsten Kaye are leaving, I have no reason to watch the show anymore. I wasn't a longtime viewer of AMC, but got hooked because of Zach/Kendall & Aidan/Greenlee (with Sabine Singh). Aidan was so good with Greenlee, I really loved that pairing & after they sabotaged that Aidan was back to orbiting around Ryan & Kendall & hasn't really had a place since. (The whole Annie thing did nothing for me.) It's really sad actually because Aiden Turner impressed me when he had a front burner story to play. And I got the chance to meet him at a fan event last year & he was really a very nice person & put himself out there for his fans--it was refreshing to have a conversation & not feel like an annoying fan. I'm glad that Rebecca Budig is coming back because I do like her, but all that means to me is she's going to get thrust right back into Ryan's life & I'm just not interested. I'll admit, most of me is actually relieved that AMC is moving to L.A. & let go/forced out my fave characters because it has made it easier to stop caring.

AMC is crazy to let you go. I'm through watching AMC anyway because of their stupid storylines. Good luck to you Aiden! I'm sure a better soap opera will pick you up.

I have been so bored with AMC lately. I still tape it and then fast-forward thru most of it. Sometimes, I don't even watch it, I just delete the episode. The writing is horrendous! I do not understand why they are killing this show! It has to be on purpose. No one would write like this if they were trying to keep it on the air.

They are idiots for losing Aiden. He has so much to give to Pine Valley and will forever be known as Greenlee's best pairing after Leo.
