After less than a week since her final airdate, Leven Rambin has already landed a Primetime series. She will take on the role of Reilly on Fox's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Can you believe she is only 18?

Don't forget us little people Leven.

Last Look: Leven Rambin's Lily Takes Her Last Bow at a Special Location Shoot

The cast of All My Children took a trip to Long Island to shoot a handful episodes, including Leven Rambin's (r. with Walt Willey) last appearance as Lily Benton Montgomery. Lily leaves Pine Valley for her first year of college at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Rambin has made no secret about her decision to leave the program. She already has a prolific Primetime and modeling career, and has been seen about town in New York amongst the young social elite.

Rambin's last airdate as Lily is June 10.
Casting News: Officer Down! Parnell Exits 17 Year Role

According to SON, Charles Parnell has left the role of Derek Frye. The role will not be recast. Parnell took over the role of Derek in 2005 from William Christian who originated the role in 1991. The role will not be recast and no air date for an onscreen exit will be arranged.

Christian played the contract role of Derek until 1991, but continued in a recurring basis. The Frye family continued to grow throughout the 1990's, but saw its numbers diminish in 2007. Tanisha Lynne (ex-Danielle Frye) was the last Frye family member on contract. Hopefully, the writers will reunite estranged father and daughter offscreen to account for this longtime resident's absence.

The writers have been referring to Derek offscreen since the Hubbards came back to Pine Valley. It was somewhat ironic that Derek was not called to The Season's East Casino to respond to the shooting at the Hubbard Wedding.

This begs the question that in light of the growing diversity on canvas with the reintroduction of the Hubbard family, can Pine Valley only accommodate one African American family at a time? Derek shares a lot of history with many of the characters on canvas, including a short lived engagement with Dr. Angie Hubbard (Debbi Morgan).

The SON report also confirms the exit of Billy Miller (Richie Novak), Leven Rambin (Lily Montgomery) and the conclusion to Cady McClain's run as Dixie Cooney's spirit.

Casting News: Leven Rambin (Lily Benton Montgomery) OUT!

To no one's surprise, Leven Rambin will be exiting her role as Lily Benton Montgomery this summer. She joined the show as the autistic daughter of Jackson Montgomery in 2004, before taking on the dual-role of her look-a-like sister Ava Benton in 2007.

Rambin had made it clear in past interviews that she did not expect to renew her contract after the original three year cycle completed. She has been busy outside of daytime, modeling and making guest appearances on Primetime shows like Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Lipstick Jungle.

Rambin issued a goodbye statement to SOD Online:

First of all, I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your unwavering support of me and my characters over the past 4 years. As you know, I started ALL MY CHILDREN when I was extremely young, so I essentially grew up there; memories of my teenage years will consist mostly of days (and nights) spent at ALL MY CHILDREN. It has been such an amazing forum for me to grow as a person and an actress. I was so fortunate to be in such an environment for the past 4 years. But, alas, much like my peers who are graduating high school around this time, it's time to move on. Four long but amazing years of my life have been spent with ALL MY CHILDREN, and I will always look back on my experience there fondly. I feel it is time for me as an actress to expand and have new opportunities, and I thank ALL MY CHILDREN for respecting my decision. My last filming date was May19th. I am looking forward to that day with optimism but a sense of sadness as well. I have come to an understanding that soap fans are unlike any other; dedicated, passionate, and loving. I am honored to have you all rooting for me.

All my love,
Leven


More on this matter at a later time.
