It's a well-known fact in the soap opera world: most villains eventually get what's coming to them.

Though unconfirmed at "post time," Soap Central has learned that Vincent Irizarry (David Hayward) will be leaving All My Children within the upcoming weeks.

Julia Barr
October 2006
It was just one year ago that All My Children fans were deluged with Internet postings claiming that two-time Emmy winner Julia Barr (Brooke English) would no longer be a part of the AMC cast.

Vincent Irizarry
November 2006

Jeffrey Carlson
November 2006

Fans may remember Carlson's one-day stint on All My Children earlier this year during which Josh and Babe tried to convince the fictional rock star into appearing in a Fusion advertising campaign. This time around, Zarf's presence will be much more meaningful. In what will be a first for daytime television - or any scripted series on broadcast television - All My Children will reveal that Zarf is a transgender person.
Aiden Turner
December 2006
With a serial killer loose in Pine Valley, many All My Children fans are fearful that some of their underused favorite stars' alter-egos might end up as victims.

Connie Fletcher
December 2006
As previously reported, Connie Fletcher's (Erin Lavery) tenure on All My Children ends next week when her on-screen alter ego is picked off my Pine Valley's serial killer. The exit, which is being called a "mutual decision," comes with an ironic twist of fate: Fletcher had planned to ask to be let out of her contract.
Elizabeth Hendrickson
December 2006
"BAM" fans are in for a treat in the New Year as Elizabeth Hendrickson (Maggie Stone) returns to All My Children for a short-term run. Hendrickson exited All My Children in February 2005 when Maggie and Bianca headed off to Paris to start a new life together.
Julia Barr
December 2006
After nearly 30 years with All My Children, Julia Barr (Brooke English) makes her final on-screen appearance this week. With that exit, fans are rounding up the boxes of Kleenex and preparing for a torrent of waterworks as All My Children no doubt prepares for one of those emotional flashback montages.
