Aidan Devane is a resident of the fictional town of Pine Valley from the ABC soap opera All My Children. He has been portrayed by Aiden Turner, from June 6, 2002 to December 21, 2009. The character has also been temporarily portrayed by actor Tom Archdeacon, from May 13 to May 28, 2004, for 6 episodes.
Aidan comes to Pine Valley in 2002 after his aunt Anna Devane, a former resident of Port Charles (the fictional town in which the ABC daytime drama General Hospital takes place), comes to town. He is in "Special Ops" in England, and not much is known about him at first. He uses such training to spy on other Pine Valley residents for Jackson Montgomery and Ryan Lavery. Aidan was a soldier while in his home country. He is a Jack-of-all-trades: a construction worker on Erica Kane's penthouse after a fire guts it, and a bartender at the Valley Inn. Aidan becomes partners in a private investigators office with Tad Martin.
Greenlee Smythe is set up by Kendall Hart Slater for the almost-kidnapping of her son, Spike Lavery, because Greenlee got away with kidnapping him the first time in July 2007. At Greenlee's arraignment, Aidan orchestrates a diversion so that he can help Greenlee escape prison time. The two go on the run, heading towards the Canada–US border. When the PVPD discovers Aidan and Greenlee's location, Aidan insists for Greenlee to continue to the border without him. At this time, both Greenlee and Aidan proclaim their love for one another and promise each other that they will have the life they both wished for, before parting ways. Later, after being arrested, Aidan is released in order to help search of the missing Greenlee and Zach Slater. While five weeks pass, and in a weak moment, he has sex with a grieving Kendall in an isolated cabin. With the discovery of the blueprints of an underground bomb shelter, Aidan and Kendall are able to save Greenlee and Zach with the help of a young man calling himself Quentin, better known as Frankie Hubbard.
