Beth Ehlers to Leave All My Children
Beth Ehlers, who's played Taylor Thompson on All My Children since July 2008, will be leaving the show before production heads to Los Angeles in December of this year.
Beth issued this statement on her departure: "After many conversations with AMC it was mutually decided that I would no longer play the role of Lt. Taylor Thompson and would not relocate my family to the West Coast. I was very proud to give a voice to Lt. Taylor Thompson and hope I conveyed the courage, sacrifice, and fortitude of the brave members of our military and their families. To my new friends and colleagues I met at All My Children and ABC during these past 18 months, I wish you much love and continued success. And lastly, a big hug to my fans! I'll see you soon!"
ABC followed up by saying "Ms. Ehlers is a talented actress and we wish her well."
Prior to joining AMC, Beth played Harley Cooper on Guiding Light from 1987-1993 and then from 1997-2008.
How would you like to see Taylor exit the show?

Ok, if Beth Ehlers is leaving OMC...bring her to OLL.
Put her with John. Do not bring John and Natalie together AGAIN
This constant going back and forth is STUPID. In the real world no one would consider going back wards this many times.
I only starting watching amc because of Beth Ehlers. Now with her leaving and Guildinglight off I won"t be watching soaps.
Won't miss Beth Ehlers one iota. Nothing personal, I just did not like the character of Taylor from day one. When she first showed up in town she was trying to hard to be the tough gal Army Lt and it turned me off completely. She played it to harshly, as if women in the military have to be all hard and tough, not reality at all. Women still have their feminine side, even when in the military, and especially when they are not in active duty. Then they tried to hard to force pairings with all the eligible bachelors on the show and none of them clicked. AMC needs to get back to basics, back to the core characters and families on the show. They can't constantly introduce new characters, give them the lions share of the screen time and expect the audience to instantly connect. It doesn't work that way. As for Rebecca Budig, I wish she'd just stay gone. She's annoying, as is her character of Greenlee.
harley, i watched you grow up on the guiding light, and was surprised to see you on amc. good luck. maybe i will see you in some other soap.you were one of my favorites.
I think Beth is a great actress. I watched her as Harley on Guiding Light. I do hope to see you on another show soon. I would like to see her written out of the show, by way of meeting some handsom guy, that sweeps her off her feet and moving away to another state
iam sorry to see Beth Ehlers go..but being honest she was a very boring character who had no point to the show..her romance to Tad Martin was over before it even started..she was on the show for a over a year and still has no presence in her character she is like a boring person...once again iam sorry to see her go...i wish her the best of luck!!
It's a shame - I liked her with Tad... But I know I would never leave NYC for LaLaLand....
I am sick of Kendall messing up things for Zach. He risked so much to help her. All she thinks about is Lyza. She's jealous and selfish. After her two indiscretions she should be grateful that he is even helping her at all. About Erica and Ryan they don't belong together. It's almost like incest. I'm sorry to see Beth Ehlers go. I was beginning to like her for Tad.
I really would not like to see her go, but they have not really been giving her any exciting story lines either. If she has to go I would like to see her finally get drafted like she wanted to before.
what is going on with this storyline with erica and ryan. this is so out of character for ryan this is dull and boring what has happen the all my favorite soaps. the storylines are all out in left field are all the writers incapable or writing a good story. don't these storylines have to pastthe executive or what who is approving these stories i would like to know.
