When Haskell was expecting her second child with Kaye, the role of Marty was recast in November 2006 with [[Christina Chambers]]. Chambers exited the show in November 2007, a year after her debut, and Haskell returned in mid-2008.<ref name="Soaps 2008-06-11"/><ref name="Marty 101"/><ref name="Marty SOD 33-24"/>
