She has 'reinvented herself' as an attorney and comes back to reclaim daughter Colby. Liza, now being played by Jamie Luner, returned to Pine Valley in April 2009. However, Colby has put most of such behavior behind her, and has recently emerged as a more sympathetic character.

Initially, she has exhibited all of Liza's worst character traits from the '80s, including consistent spoiled behavior, and a false statutory rape allegation against Erica Kane's son Josh Madden. However, Colby eventually returned ( rapidly aged to her teenaged years) to Pine Valley to live with Adam. In late 2004, Liza, with Tad's help, went on the run with Colby in tow. Eventually, Liza and Mia formed a sisterly bond and Liza even financed the money to upstart Fusion, the new cosmetics company that Mia co-founded in late 2002 with Greenlee Smythe, Kendall Hart, and Simone Torres. Liza got the shock of her life in 2001, when Mia Saunders revealed herself to be her half-sister. However, Adam's controlling nature and penchant for lying led to their divorce, remarrying and divorce. In May 1999, Liza gave birth to her daughter, Colby Marian Chandler, and eventually fell for Adam and married him. It turned out to be Adam Chandler's child, for he had switched Jake's sperm at the sperm bank with his. Liza then found herself in a strange predicament when she got pregnant with what she thought was Jake's baby. Liza then moved on to Jake Martin, Tad's adopted brother. Now a strong career woman, Liza got revenge on Tad by seducing him into bed, breaking up his marriage to Dixie Cooney. Liza made a triumphant return to Pine Valley in September 1995. Liza left town a few months later to give herself a fresh start in a new city. However, she mistook his compassion for romantic interest and attempted to steal him from his wife Nina. Initially, no one believed her due to her past history as a lying blackmailer except Dr. Later, partly as a result of her 'easy' reputation, Liza was raped. However, Liza was crushed when she discovered Tad was also having an affair with her mother, Marian Chandler. With Jenny humiliated and Jesse eager to avoid arrest, the two fled to the Hell's Kitchen section of New York City, where they remained for weeks until Liza's accusations against Jesse were discredited.Īfter Liza failed in her schemes to win Greg and she realized that he would never love her (He was already turned off by her narcissistic and snobby personality from the get go.), she started a relationship with Ruth's adopted son Tad Martin (Jenny's biological brother). After Jenny's best friend Jesse Hubbard confronted her, Liza falsely accused him of attempted rape, subtly using old stereotypes about black men and White women as a means of making her story seem credible.

Liza blackmailed Jenny, threatening to reveal to Greg that Jenny's father, Ray Gardner was a convict who had raped Ruth Martin years earlier.

Her two most heinous acts as a teenager occurred at about the same time. Liza engaged in numerous schemes to steal Greg from Jenny. However, Greg's heart belonged to Jenny Gardner, a warm-hearted working-class girl. Liza made her first appearance in 1981 as a snobbish upper-class teenager from one of Pine Valley's wealthiest families, with a crush on upper-class classmate Greg Nelson.
