All My Children Reveals Recast TVGuide.com told you first that All My Children plans to recast Adam and Liza's daughter, Colby Marian Chandler. AMC has just cast daytime newcomer Ambyr Childers, whose previous credits include small roles in Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star and TV's S Club 7. Since Colby was born in 2000, we figure she'd be in kindergarten right now. However, thanks to SORAS — that's short for Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome — Colby will be a randy teenager when she turns up in Pine Valley on July 3.

Thanks for the information! She's cute - I'll buy her as Colby. I wonder what they'll do about Liza?

This is going to make me sound very selfish, but I'm going to say it anyway. (haha!!) The summer teen stories bore me. They never seem to have the appeal to me that other storylines do. But I can see the reason for them - to capture a new audience while kids are out of school. Still... I really hope that now that they are bringing in Colby as a teen and adding a few more to the screen, maybe this will be the year they come up with something ground breaking for the teen scene.
Charity - maybe Kallie will have some insight on how they are doing this summer?
And they will have to have some story for Liza. After all she's done to keep Colby away, they can't just write it off as Colby decided to come home for awhile so Liza stayed where she was.

personally, i hate it. I'm sure she'll do just fine, and she's cute, but i hate the stupid summer teen stuff. i started watching as a young teenager cuz i was out of school for the summer, and was bored...but what got my hooked was not the stupid teen story going on (i don't even remember who it was. henry and maggie maybe? blech). I expect this to be no different, especially if they pair her with petey. *SNOOOOOOOORE*. The only good way to use Colby is to get her involved with her family, NOT a y oung boy.

She does look Chandler-esque I think, which is a start. No real acting experience, which makes me cringe. We'll see.
Yeah, going from 6 to 16 is a bit of a stretch, I mean really, we all thought what they did with JR/Jamie was bad...sheesh.

Charity - maybe Kallie will have some insight on how they are doing this summer? i showed kallie that pic earlier that day. she is looking forward to it because gh has a lot of younger couples on it. she is always the first to say if it's stupid, who should be with who, what to ff thru. she knows all the characters on all 3 abc soaps and isn't afraid to speak her mind (hmmmm...sounds like someone i know ;D ;D) she also hates zach - wondering why they are doing stupid stuff with jonathan and jr (who my heart always belonged to) but her major soap crush?

ok, here is my take, as I said before I love her look. And even better would be if the woman who plays Kelly on OLTL (I'm having a brain fart with her name) would leave OLTL and come to AMC as Liza, they resemble each other so much I have to wonder.
