Lasance pleased with 'H&A' exit plot

Todd Lasance has admitted that he was relieved when he learned that he would not be killed off in Home and Away.

The actor's character Aden Jefferies will leave Summer Bay for pastures new next month after more than two years as a show regular.

In real life, Lasance decided to quit the soap last year in order to pursue a Hollywood career.

Speaking to TV Week about Aden's fate, Lasance commented: "I like that it's a realisation of Aden's potential. I didn't want him to be killed off. Having already lost [his girlfriend] Belle, killing off Aden would have been too much of a loss."

Asked whether he will ever return to the programme, he replied: "There are no plans - but who knows? I'd be up for a little drop-in to see what Aden's up to at some point.

"I'll always have the absolute highest regard for the time I spent on the show. I loved every single day. It's been an amazing stepping stone towards - hopefully - success on other projects and in the US one day. I love acting. I want to do it for the rest of my life."
