Leven:
(on her departure from the show in 2008) 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 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. [...] 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 [to leave the show].
