Vanessa Marcil Returning to "General Hospital" -- For Real!
by Allison Waldman
posted Jun 7th 2010

It's official:

On Aug. 11, Vanessa Marcil will reprise her Emmy-winning portrayal as Brenda Barrett on the ABC soap "General Hospital", according to a report in this morning's USA Today.

Brenda will reportedly return to Port Charles with a big secret that is likely to cause major drama. Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Jax (Ingo Rademacher) should keep their eyes especially peeled, as Brenda has a romantic history with them both.

Details beyond Brenda's big secret were not revealed.

It seems that there's constantly rumors of her returning to the show. I'm shocked it's actually happening this time.

Me, too - but if I had to choose, I'd rather Genie Francis (Laura) return over her. Then again, your mileage my vary.

Me too, catlover. I like Vanessa Marcil (Brenda), but I would prefer a Genie Francis return as well. Laura Spencer is my absolute favorite character on GH.

I knew she would be back on the show... eventually!

Laura's my all-time favorite GH character, too. Genie Francis ROCKS. By the way, did you know last year that Genie and her brothers did a Christmas CD last year? I found it on iTunes, and someone posted their rendition of "Silent Night" on YouTube. I never knew Genie could sing before this!

If anything, she'll breathe new life into the Sonny/Jax stories. She was the one woman neither could entirely get out of their systems - even more so than Carly. Anyone know if this is a short-term visit or is she in this for the long haul?

Vanessa Marcil Returns to "General Hospital" August 11, After Big ABC/SoapNet Promotion
by Allison Waldman
posted Jul 13th 2010

On Aug. 11, Vanessa Marcil, now going by her married name -- Vanessa Marcil Giovinazzo -- officially resumes the role of Brenda Barrett on "General Hospital", and in anticipation of this long-awaited, long-rumored and eagerly welcomed return, ABC and SoapNet are creating some major special pre-Brenda promotions.

Starting on July 17, SoapNet will have a 25-day countdown to Vanessa's return to "GH" with a daily Brenda happening, including the time she wore a wire to trap Sonny, their kiss on the beach and more memorable moments.

Maurice Benard gets into the act on Friday, Aug. 6 and Monday, Aug. 9, when "General Hospital's" episodes will be primarily about Sonny and his review of his life -- torn asunder by the estrangement of his children.

Naturally, he thinks about the woman with whom he once had a torrid, up-and-down relationship.
