My favorite All My Children actress, Melissa Claire Egan, has announced that she is leaving. I can't even begin to explain what I felt when the news broke. Annie is one of the only reasons I've tuned in for the last couple of years. The official line is that she's leaving of her own accord, but with all the crazy shit happening in the soap world right now, I can't help but wonder if there's more to this story. As of this posting, there's been no word on a final airdate, or exit storyline. With the lack of imagination so evident in the current writing regime, I imagine the easy way out will be taken, Annie will go crazy, and will be shipped off to Oakhaven. It's just so sad. I thought Melissa was a lifer. All the luck in the world to you, my dear. You will be missed!
