I guess they decided to age Colby in order to make the romance with Frankie more believable. I do agree that Ambyr's Colby looks a little too young to be in a romance with Frankie but wish Ambyr was able to stay & just pair her up Dre. I will definitely MISS Ambyr because she had such a sweet brother/sister relationship with Jacob, but but I'll give the new Colby a chance:) Here's the link with a pic/article! It's funny because this new Colby looks the same age as Jacob/JR: http://soapnet.go.com/soapnet/article/path-articleNum_2825/category_shows Last Edited By: elliez 04/18/08 15:04:13. Edited 3 times.

I mean, sheesh, I'm glad she won't turn into JR's older sister at this rate. But it's a shame because Ambry is really the perfect age- Colby is going to college and it just fits. I guess we'll see what happens, and hopefully, she'll have the same sibling connection with Jacob. Geez. My Chandler family is changing. Gosh, and it's happening really quickly too. crap.

I'm disgusted because this is now the most extreme soras I've ever seen on a soap. Colby is 8. It was hard enough swallowing the first soras that made her twice her age. I mean, what? Is Colby older than JR now? What are they doing. This is so stupid. So what if the new actress is 25. The CHARACTER is still 17 and still too young for Frankie!

If the new actress appears early May, that means Ambry's been gone a while, and this new actress has been taping. I agree with JesseNAngie- the character's age won't change- so why do this, plus- I think she had better romantic chemistry with Dre. I love a romance, of course, but I also don't understand why there can't be friendships- meaning Colby and Frankie don't need to go further. It's just a shame. There was such dynamic there- they were family, it was lovely the way it was. it'll take a while to get used to. No Colby won't be older than JR- the actress is a few years younger than Jacob, but looks young to portray Colby's age. I just don't get it, because as you say, she's still 17-I don't know why this had to happen. this is so disappointing. Last Edited By: elliez 04/19/08 03:38:50. Edited 1 time.
