André Lerman Woods (also known as Dre Lerman) is a fictional character from the ABC soap opera "All My Children". He is portrayed by actor Sterling Sulieman.

Brief character details

Andre comes to Pine Valley, Pennsylvania as a member of a garage band. They practice near Tad Martin and Krystal Carey's home. He and the other band members (Corrina and Ren) expect to heat things up with the younger generation of viewers.

He lashes out when he lets something slip about his past and Colby Chandler or Sean Montgomery questioned him. He didn't want his picture taken for his band's CD cover. A man in a suit comes to Tad and Krystal's house looking for Dre saying that he represents "the family". The band members say they don't know where he went after leaving town, and the man goes away. Dre briefly disappears.

Dre tells Colby in the Chandler Mansion tunnels that his father is a U.S. attorney who expolits the fact that his wife died in the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, and he ran away because he no longer wanted anything to do with him. However, Dre and his father Samuel Woods have recently began to repair their relationship.

Dre was driving Colby's car when he and Cassandra Foster were bringing Colby home, after she became drunk at her 18th birthday party. He ran over someone in the road, but was unable to determine what the object was, since it was nighttime. 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 vow to keep the entire incident a secret. They are concerned that the scandal surrounding the incident will negatively impact the careers of their parents: Dre's father Samuel (who is campaigning for a seat in the United States Senate), Colby's father Adam Chandler (whose recent mental instability has already hurt the price of his company's stock), and Cassandra's stepfather Jesse Hubbard (who was recently appointed chief of the Pine Valley Police Department). However, despite their best efforts, the teenagers' involvement in Richie's death is exposed, and Dre is arrested.
