Ty Treadway (Troy MacIver) has been let go from One Life to Live. This marks the second time that the actor has been released by the ABC soap.
Treadway was said to have gotten to news of his impending dismissal right before he left New York City, where OLTL is taped, for Los Angeles, where Soap Talk is filmed.
One Life to Live's executive producer Frank Valentini issued the following statement in the wake of Treadway's bombshell announcement. "We love Ty. He's a great actor. His leaving One Life to Live is storyline-dictated."
Treadway's previous exit was also "storyline-dicated." In May 2001, Treadway was written out when his character, Colin MacIver (Troy's diabolical twin) was killed. Then-executive producer Gary Tomlin, an admitted fan of Treadway's work, said he'd wished that Treadway's character hadn't had to meet his maker, but admitted that it was required for the show's story to progress. In June 2001, Treadway returned as Colin's look-alike.
Treadway's final airdate was not made public by ABC, but a spokesperson states that it will be "sometime this summer."
