All My Children has confirmed the imminent exit of Alexa Havins, who joined the show as Babe Carey in October 2003. Her final air date will be October 8, the same day the actress AMC has hired to replace her — Amanda Baker, Jolene on General Hospital: Night Shift — will make her debut. Explains a show rep, "[Havins's] Babe will hug Krystal and when they separate from the hug, it will be Baker [in] the role." soaptalkscoops.proboards56.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=amc&thread=1188943429

That's a weird way to intoduce a recast. If Babe has to be recasted can't we have a couple year break from her like we did Greenlee

It reminds me of what GH did when they replaced Tamaura Braun's Carly with that weird lady that looked like a monkey. She lasted what, 4 months? Bad move. I wonder how it will be received. Alexa is Babe for me

Oh, well, whoever plays the new Babe can't be as bad as Leven playing Ava. I think it's against the Genevea Convention for AMC to do that to us. Or at least I hope it is.

Ugh...why can't the character of Babe just LEAVE? Why recast? I have yet to hear anything that will get me watching this show again...though Zach/Hannah thing sounds promising.

You all have no idea how much they way they are introducing the recast PISSES ME OFF!!!!!!
Speaking as a very big Babe supporter from day one, and someone who Loves Alexa, i think this is a huge Huge HUGE slap in the face to Babe/Alexa fans. To simply recast the role ON THE SAME DAY?!?!?!?!? in the SAME SCENE?!?!?!?!?!?! OMG. I am so done with this show. I don't have the time to keep up with it, nor the energy. I just don't freaking care anymore.

They did an immediate recast for Carly on GH and she was a MUCH bigger deal than Babe ever was. That being said, I hate immediate recasts. The only benefit is that their storyline isn't suddenly stopped to accommadate an exit. They usually pick some horrible actor because they are available.
And I wanted Babe gone. Why can't we be free of her??? I guess I should be happy this means Alexa can't come back (hahaha) so hopefully they won't be as obsessed with Babe as they were when Alexa played her.

I will miss Alexa! I think that most of the time Babe is a dipwad, but I really liked Alexa.
