Former PASSIONS Star To OLTL!

Soap Opera Digest has learned exclusively that OLTL hired Daphnee Duplaix to take over the role of Rachel, Nora and Hank's daughter. Duplaix portrayed PASSIONS's Valerie from 2004-08, before the convoluted reveal that hermaphrodite Vincent was really Valerie. Her new daytime persona is only slightly less screwed up: Rachel previously turned tricks, went to rehab for drugs and did time for murder. Since taking up social work, however, Rachel has been living in Chicago. Duplaix, meanwhile, has been busy taping episodes of SHOW US YOUR WITS, the new Playboy TV game show on which she'll serve as host. Rachel will return on April 2, just a day after on-screen dad Hank (Nathan Purdee) pops back into town.

Nice for OLTL! :)

They must be firing some people to fit another person in that cast? Or was Kamar's paycheck enough?

Are they de-aging the character?

How old is Rachel supposed to be at this point?

Everytime I see her, I'm going to think of McNuggets Lovin' and Vincent(as Valerie) seducing Julian. LOL.

Well the show sucks lately in my opinion. David and Dorian are offically a huge bore. But I am glad to see what appears to be the return of an african american family to this show. Hank was always a big blah to me though. Now RJ- That is who they should be bringing back... I am glad that this new Rachel can act. Whenever I see OLTL and Passions in the same sentence I see red.

And as far as OLTL affording these people- based on rumor and just my gut, I think we will be seeing an additional 4-5 characters leaving the show within 3-4 months. Not to mention that OLTL seems to have no money issues!

At this point I am just hanging on to see Mitch and hopefully Tina. And I am hoping this blonde chick can play a good bitch. This show needs a real female troublemaker.

Good choice by OLTL; Daphnee is a good actor. I knew they would hire a sexier and younger Rachel the minute I heard of the recast.

I was hoping this would be Brook Kerr. I didnt watch Passions when Daphne was on the show, so I cant comment on her, but I am glad that Rachel, as well as Hank are returning.

Looking around YouTube her other (clothed) work is pretty good. Passions is not a fair judge of anyone's ability IMO. I say good choice.

Sad that you don't like David and Dorian, rane. I find them very touching.

This is very good news, but don't ever scare me like that with the title.

I hope and pray that in some way RC is building up so he can bring back RJ, and eventually get Lindsay out of jail some way.
