That's kinda the point... they can name her character Liza all they want, but the character she's portraying isn't Liza Colby.

It's like when they brought back recast Laura Kirk English with Laura Allen after Lauren E. Roman created the role in the mid 90s. We went from a rough around the edges, baby faced, red head homeless girl to some blonde, sexually ambiguous druggie. Two totally different depictions of supposedly the same character. Plus, Laura Allen's Laura Kirk came back to town with a love for photography -- which made me shudder (no pun intended) due to the fact that Roman's Laura was exploited by a child pornographer. To me, I never was able to draw a connection between Roman's Laura and Allen's Laura for them to be the same character. It just got to the point where I viewed them as two different characters who happened to share the same name.

Totally, totally forgot about the "child pornographer" thing with Roman's Laura! Thanks for the refresh, RSinclair!

By the way, Roman's Laura rocked and Allen's Laura was just...how shall we say?....let's just say I was jumping around when I heard she was leaving the show with her poor love-me-Leo self. Poor Gillian. What a waste of a heart. (And that's coming from someone who also wasn't a huge Gillian fan)

Ironically, I've seen Allen on several shows, including Grey's Anatomy, since whereas Roman...?

Okay so all they share is a name. It's like when they bring back an original poratrayer after a bad recast, shows tend to ignore any story the last actor played. I hope the same is done with Luner when they cut her.

What makes you think they will cut her?
