Finn Wittrock OUT at All My Children!

"All My Children’s Finn Wittrock will be leaving the show in a few weeks, according to ABC Soaps In Depth. Reportedly, the writers weren’t sure what to do with his character Damon.

A source shares that ever since the new headwriters took over the helm at AMC, they haven't quite known what to do with Damon, as they brought in a character of their own creation, Trent Garrett's Asher, and reportedly have big plans for Caleb's son.

If you ask me, All My Children should have explored the chemistry between Damon and Jamie Luner's Liza Colby. They've always given me a Casey (Billy Magnussen) and Emily (Kelley Menighan Hensley) vibe from As the World Turns. So much for that. "
Daytime Confidential


Now see, this is the sort of thing that yanks my chain. It took me a while to like this character and let him grow on me. I think he has gotten so much more interesting working with Liza than when he was just "colby's boyfriend". I even thought this had the potential for a cougar storyline between him and LIza once Colby starts up with Asher.
Instead you have a new headwriter who creates his own new character and is too damn lazy to come up with ideas for 2 younger guys....or maybe he knows that Asher can't hold a candle to Damon so he wants "his" creation to get all the airtime. Lazy ass writers...this is why soaps have been losing viewers for years.

Evidently SOD is reporting this firing as a "non-firing."
Finn Wittrock Out at AMC
Finn Wittrock will be exiting the role of Damon soon, with a final air date to be announced. "He reached the end of his contract and decided that he didn't want to renew it," an AMC rep explains. Look for Liza to factor into Damon's departure.

Sure is quite different than what Soaps in Depth had to say. I think maybe the head writer is wanting a different spin on this because the other story sure made him look like an ass.

It's a Boy for Eden Riegel!
Eden Riegel (Heather, Y&R) announced on Twitter that the baby she is expecting with husband Andrew Miller is a boy. "I'm growing a penis inside me! He looks very healthy. And I don't think the ladies will be disappointed, if u know what I mean!" she joked. "She texted Susan [Lucci, Erica] and me the other day to tell us," says former on-screen sister Alicia Minshew (Kendall, AMC). "And she said, 'Willow [Minshew's daughter] will have a boyfriend!"

What a waste for this character? How could they not know how to write for him? He has obvious chemistry with Liza. He is Tad's son. Tad slept with Liza and her mother! Damon could have done that same with Colby and Liza...IT WRITES ITSELF!

I know scorpioww... That's what irritates me so much! Hard enough to get into this soap without writers dumping characters just to give more time to the ones they create.

I'm sad to see him go but as hard as it is for me to watch AMC these days, I dont think I'll be sticking around long either.

AMC is easily the least watchable soap these days. I feel like it lost a lot of its charm somehow once it left New York.
