"Home and Away star Todd Lasance has confirmed that he plans to leave the soap in the &amp;quot;not-too-distant future&amp;quot; and move to Los Angeles to further his career. The 24-year-old, who plays Summer Bay favourite Aden Jefferies, signed with talent agency The Gersh Agency during a recent trip to the US. &amp;quot;I got signed over there [in LA] with an agent! It&amp;#039;s all been hush-hush for a while,&amp;quot; Lasance told TV Week. &amp;quot;We did meetings for a couple of weeks, then three days before I came back, I just gelled with one particular agent and loved her. She asked if I&amp;#039;d like to join the agency so I was stoked! &amp;quot;I was over the moon. You can imagine me - I love this job and I want to do so well.&amp;quot; Asked when he plans to leave Home and Away, Lasance said: &amp;quot;How do I word this? Let&amp;#039;s just say, I&amp;#039;ll be ready to make the next step in the not-too-distant future.&amp;quot; Last month, the actor revealed his sadness at co-star Jess Tovey&amp;#039;s decision to quit the series after three years.
