At random, I decided to go on the PlutoTV App and saw that MTV series Run's House and clicked on it to see that Rev. Run's older daughter was meeting with Ellen Wheeler and the casting director at Guiding Light (you can probably guess how old this episode is). Apparently, Vanessa Simmons (the elder daughter) had screen tested with Lawrence St. Victor and Wheeler offered her a longer role for the summer as his love interest. I only have a vague recollection of this episode and I don't think I had time to watch much TV at that time, so I definitely didn't see her on GL.

God, was there anyone Ellen Wheeler wouldn't have hired to work on that damn show!?

Vanessa Simmons definitely seemed surprised by the offer. Wheeler was probably doing the Maria Arena Bell thing of "show-casting" in hopes of juicing up the ratings.

Now I'm curious to see how she fared on GL. I'm unused to the concept of Lawrence St Victor having a love interest, since it hasn't happened in such a long time.

Those are great! Thanks for sharing.

i wonder who the actress was that played the nurse? Possibly one of the first Black actors on a TV soap.

Wow, those are incredible to read. Thanks for sharing.

May God grant me the confidence of such a man who wants to speak so much and yet has so little of note or interest to say.
It is not just that he interrupts constantly. It is that he interrupts to say *nothing*.
