Colby Chandler is a fictional character from the original ABC Daytime soap opera All My Children.

When the show was relaunched as a web series to air on The Online Network owned and operated by production company, Prospect Park, Brooke Newton stepped into the role of Colby.

Though initial reports said that all contract cast members were offered a chance to relocate, another source said that ABC had misled the actors.

Viewers could vaguely make out the name Brooke Newton in the role of Colby Chandler, but nothing was confirmed.

[10][11] Newton even attended the series premiere in late April and was photographed with Ryan Bittle who had recast the role of Colby's big brother JR Chandler.

Colby re-introduction mirrored that of her half-sister Hayley Vaughan (Kelly Ripa)'s debut in November 1990.

[13] In the summer of 2007, Colby develops a crush on the much older Josh Madden (Colin Egglesfield), despite his interest in her ex sister-in-law, Babe Carey (Alexa Havins).

"I'm giving my own parents advice on what to do" the actress explained of Colby maturity while the adults in her life seemed to be acting like children.

[14] Other sources revealed that Moncrief was hired so that the writers could age Colby making her the appropriate age for a romantic pairing with the 25-year-old Frankie Hubbard portrayed by Cornelius Smith, Jr. Colby had recently developed a crush on Frankie, and the two even shared a kiss.

The potential pairing would also create drama based due to Adam's history as a schemer and Frankie's father Jesse Hubbard as the new chief of police.

[16] In the summer of 2008, Colby and her friends mistakenly believe that they are behind the death of Richie Novak (Billy Miller).

Colby turns to alcohol prompting her brother, JR Chandler (Jacob Young) to point out that she may have a problem like many others in their family.

The character of Damon is the illegitimate son of Liza's high school boyfriend, Tad Martin (Michael E.

She makes a phone call and is revealed to be Adam Chandler's long-lost daughter (aged by several years).

Determined to save her daughter from Adam's nefarious ways that have "poisoned" the lives of his other children, she took Colby and went on the run.

Colby is now a spoiled brat who plays on her father's guilt by demanding extravagant luxuries, such as a lavish Sweet Sixteen party, putting her at odds with Adam's then wife Krystal Carey.

Colby was spoiled, selfish, and hostile towards Krystal and Babe at first, but her time in Pine Valley changed her and she put the bulk of her bad behavior behind her and emerged a much kinder and generous person.

Colby became fast friends with Cassandra Foster, who recently moved to town from Paris to live with her mother Angela Hubbard.

The next day—upon learning that Richie Novak had been struck by a car on the same road at approximately the same time—the three teenagers feared that they had inadvertently killed him.

Unaware that Richie had actually been murdered earlier that evening by his sister Annie Lavery, the teens vowed to keep the entire incident a secret.

During the Richie storyline, Colby had a slight drinking problem that fizzled out around the time of the tornado that killed Babe.

Although they end up finding out in the finale episode that Stuart Chandler was alive and being held captive and taken care of by Dr. David Hayward.

In May 2009, Liza (Jamie Luner) returns to town with the news that she is pregnant and supposedly give birth a son that she names after Colby's late uncle Stuart.

Damon begins acting out and is accused of breaking into houses around town, while Colby assumes he is innocent.

Liza overhears Damon admitting to Colby that he wants to be more than just friends and tries to sabotage his chance of staying out of prison.

On August 31, 2011, Colby packs her stuff and leaves the Chandler mansion, and goes back to live with Liza due to JR blackmailing his ex-wife and AJ's legal mother/biological aunt Marissa Tasker into giving him full custody and Colby is furious, so she packs and leaves.

The two eventually break up and although Colby manages to get the loan from David Hayward she is able to seduce Pete and the two end up sleeping together.

[17] Upon Moncrief's ousting, Daytime Confidential recommended Marcy Rylan, known for her role as Lizzie Spaulding on Guiding Light for the a Colby recast.
