Colby Chandler of "All My Children" is getting a makeover ... sort of. Ambyr Childers, who's played Adam's (David Canary) once-spoiled-now-saintly daughter since 2006, is leaving, and Colby's been recast.

Starting May 7, Colby's going to look like 25-year-old newcomer Brianne Moncrief. A graduate of Fordham University's performing-arts program, Brianne has a lot of stage credits and a "Sopranos" episode to her name.

This really disappoints me. I know SID mentioned she was pretty much on her way out a while ago, but I thought she was safe. I didn't like her as Colby at first, but she really grew into a great actress. I'm saddened to see her go. Hopefully she'll turn up on GH as Serena.

I know, there wasnt really a need to recast her. AC was doing a fine job in the role and was perfect as the daughter of Adam and Liza. It wasnt like she was a horrible actress or had opted to leave, and it wasnt like fans didnt like her (or she'd have been gone long ago), it just reeks of a recasting for the sake of recasting.

Btw, does anyone see a resemblance between AC and Leighton Meester from Gossip Girl?

Too stupid for words. They should have done a Colby/Dre/Cassandra triangle and put Frankie with someone older. They had to pair Jesse's son with Liza's daughter. Hate it. Stupid. What else is new?

I hope Amber goes on to bigger and better soon.

The pairing of Jesse's son and Liza's daughter would be a smart idea. Just one little problem...FRANKIE WAS BEEN BORN 15 YEARS BEFORE COLBY IN REAL TIME! I understand the need to SORAS and de-SORAS from time to time, but the real-time age gap between these two is just too great to ignore. On the other hand, though, I'm not a fan of Amber's, and I'm glad they've at least chosen someone with some acting experience who can keep up with David Canary. Just wishing that the birth timelines made a modicum of sense.

    • Poor Philip. I appreciate how seriously his and Xander’s scenes were taken though. It felt like real drama and not like a big joke. You could actually feel Xander’s pain and anger. It adds another dynamic to the Kiriakis family storylines and I’m looking forward to the effects that this is going to have across the canvas. I can see them weaving Kate and Roman into this storyline as well. And it would be really nice if this somehow helped cause conflict for Stephanie/Alex too, especially because of what Alex did today. With any luck, Stephanie will be furious about it.  And I’m glad that Sarah has Maggie to confide in about her secret. I also liked seeing Steve and Shawn (and their matching jackets

      ) continue to be on the case. Kevin, revealing everything to them is another interesting turn in this storyline. Plus, it seems the writing has improved for Shawn as well. 
    • TBF, I don't think we've seen her interact enough with the "have-nots" to know if she is or isn't. It's possible, but I don't think you can say that from her interactions with Eva and Silkpress.
    • You're right - though I did confuse his name with an actual actor who was on Dynasty.

    • "Might" is not "is". And I was talking about the specific case about her attitude to Eva. 
    • But she can still be a priveliged elitist. She might have the same attitude to anyone from 'the wrong side of the tracks' whether they had an agenda or not. Nicole seems to be an outlier in her family.Her parents, kids and sister seem to think themselves above reproach.
    • Damian's clothes have definitely been a specific look -kinda reads 70's pimp to me . I guess it's a trend?? but it seems more suited to Holden. JR is 51  and I guess Damian is supposed to be a little younger but it looks a little odd on him in my book. But at least they're trying. The men's clothing has been bland/generic for years-either suits or basic casual stuff interchangeable  b/w them.
