Members kzinlove06 Posted April 18, 2008 Members Share Posted April 18, 2008 http://soapnet.go.com/soapnet/article/path.../category_shows 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted April 18, 2008 Members Share Posted April 18, 2008 AC should go to GH as Serena Baldwin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members detroitpiston Posted April 18, 2008 Members Share Posted April 18, 2008 Man they didn't waste any time did they? Anyway I'm not at all upset to see AC go. Just hope that BM has the acting chops as well as the looks to play Adam Chandler and Liza Colby's daughter. The last thing this show needs is another hair model.

Members UKBoi Posted April 18, 2008 Members Share Posted April 18, 2008 She's definately no model... I Googled her and it appears she was on GL as a waitress at Company a while back http://www.soaps.com/guidinglight/news/156...ts_New_Waitress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted April 18, 2008 Members Share Posted April 18, 2008 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.

Members detroitpiston Posted April 18, 2008 Members Share Posted April 18, 2008 Only if they can't get the original actress to return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CassieFan Posted April 18, 2008 Members Share Posted April 18, 2008 I have to say I am pissed. I loved Ambyr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UKBoi Posted April 18, 2008 Members Share Posted April 18, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CassieFan Posted April 18, 2008 Members Share Posted April 18, 2008 Hopefully she gets on another soap. Hey, I would take her as Abby Deveraux on DAYS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dm. Posted April 18, 2008 Members Share Posted April 18, 2008 People at ABC should spend more time taking a closer look at their ratings and the HWs instead of worrying about recasting Colby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darcy Posted April 18, 2008 Members Share Posted April 18, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoyaltoAMC Posted April 18, 2008 Members Share Posted April 18, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AddictedToSoaps Posted April 18, 2008 Members Share Posted April 18, 2008 Wow, I wasn't expecting this at all. I hated Ambyr at first, but she and her character grew on me a lot. Oh well. Good luck to Ambyr! Hopefully nu-Colby is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
