(SoapOperaNetwork.com) -- Llanview's corrupt police commissioner will soon be without a job.
The casting shake-ups continue at "One Life to Live," with Soap Opera Weekly reporting that Hunt Block, who joined the cast in the short-term role of rogue FBI agent turned Police Commissioner Lee Ramsey last October, has been handed his walking papers.
Prior to his stint on "OLTL," Block became the second actor to Craig Montgomery on "As the World Turns" from 2000-2005. Additionally, Block portrayed Ben Warren on "Guiding Light" from 1997-1999, and Guy Donahue on "All My Children" in 2000. He has also appeared on stage in films such as As You Like It, Forever After and A Loss Of Memory.
In a recent interview with SOW, Block stated that "I met a lot of nice people on the show," and that "I wish them luck." While "OLTL" is keeping mum on the specifics of his exit, the character is not expected to leave Llanview quietly. Although no final airdate has been announced, look for Block to last air as Lee Ramsey sometime in June or July.

This is what drives me nuts about ABC. They brought on a charismatic couple, Tess and Nash, most people loved them, and then in the course of two years totally ruined them with crappy story lines, interminable tortures and just plain laziness. Nash was so much fun, now a complete waste of time, and I do like Forbes March!
I'm sure Forbes will be picked up elsewhere, maybe even as Stuart's son on AMC (which could get me watching regularly again, lol).
Why don't they bother writing for happily married couple as they do so successfully on Y&R? That's what I mean by laziness. Instead of thinking of ways to keep couples together and interesting, they break them up for lack of any better ideas. Nash and Jessica could have had the vineyard become a roaring hit, with industrial espionage, a turn-coat mole, sabotage, all the while Nash and Jessica build a stronger and stronger relationship. But no. Kill him off. THAT's interesting? Gah.
Meanwhile, one of the worst ever pairings, TSJ's Todd and Blair, keep on gobbling up the screen. Stupid soap.
