The Young and the Restless

Apparently she was fired without any notice. No one in the cast knew about it. From what I gather it was done over the phone. There is speculation that it was because of her weight issue. She was completely taken by surprise.
Here is an artlcle on her firing:
"In a late breaking news release,
The Young and the Restless actress Adrianne Leon (Colleen) has posted on her MySpace that she's been informed her last day with the show was last week!
Fans were in an uproar when Adrianne didn't appear at this year's Emmy Awards and even more confused to read her June 14, 2007 post apologizing for her absence, saying that it was related to security issues. Now, merely four days later, this fan favorite has been let go… Although Adrianne rightfully sounded hurt and stunned by the news from CBS/Y&R, she expressed thankfulness to her Y&R family but promised fans that she has other music and acting projects in the works and that she'll be back, although not on the show, after taking some much needed time off.
Adrianne as ColleenAdrianne joined the show back in January 2006 and has touched the hearts of many ever since! Soaps.com wants to wish Adrianne the very best! We know you'll be successful no matter what you do! You'll be sadly missed…

I hope this helps in a move that blindsided the actress, Adrienne Leon (Colleen Carlton) learned last week that she had been released from her contract with CBS's The Young and the Restless. The actress explains that she was not told her firing until after she left the studio. The sudden dismissal also prevented the actress from taking part in Emmy festivities.
"I was notified today that I will no longer be part of the cast of Y&R and that [Friday, June 15th] was actually my last day there," Leon said on her personal blog site. "I wish I would have known that then... and had taken the opportunity to let everyone know just how much I enjoyed working with them in addition to how greatly they will be missed." And by the way I do not like the new Colleen.

Adrienne Leon got fired for gaining too much weight. She has said that it was from taking prescription steroids for a skin allergy to wool.
I didn't like this new Colleen @ first. She's hard to get used to with that weird accent coming through. She's growing on me though. She's not so bad after all.

None will compare to the original, but I was getting used to the one that just got fired. I won't be able to get used to this new one, just like how I couldn't get used to that new Lilly. Thankfully they brought the original back.
