I've been rewatching GL, and Sonia Stuart always grates my nerves as Vanessa. It's too bad they couldn't have simply shot her from behind for all of the scenes, and then had Maeve dub in the dialogue. Thank God it's always just a day or two.

The funniest time I've caught is New Year's 1991. Sonia's Vanessa comes to the party with Ross, dressed in a sedate black dress and bolero jacket. The next episode, Maeve is back--Ross is gone (to help Phillip) and Vanessa is spilling out of a flame red dress. 

That's a neat way to acknowledge an actor being back. 

It's always hard for me to imagine anyone else as Vanessa, although clearly anyone named Stuart had a good shot.

@John Thanks. I forgot how many temps there were around then on OLTL. I don't want to watch again but wasn't Gretel also going around with a cane or something around then?

I just imagine Sonia worked with someone at GL on something else ---'cause I don't understand why anyone thought she could act.

I'm not even sure I can find an IMDB page for her.

Jeremy Fonicello took over from Don Jeffcoat briefly on OLTL in 1998, as Joey Buchanan.

Do you know the airdate: I know it was 1998

Was that the 1998 recast? I remember SPW claimed Erin Torpey had been permanently replaced by this girl, and then it was an oops and that never happened. I know there was some rumor that Slezak put her foot down about firing Erin Torpey.

Erin in her buchanan kids interview with the Locher room, she did say that her Mom didnt want Jessica to have sex with Will. But eventually ok'd it if Jessica had a consequence. The temp aired before the sex so I bet the pregnancy Jess had saved Erin's Job

NOPE

Dates not correct

Thanks. One of us will have to go in and try to change it although IMDB is a horror to correct.

I'm not particularly fond of Anna Stuart's time as Vanessa either, but Maeve went on maternity leave. 

Anna starts (or the first episode I've found with her in it) Sept 7. The video quality is poor, but part 3 cleans up a little. Anna's in the part from September to December 1981. My playlist is Vanessa Guiding Light 1980-1983 if that helps.

I swear she did commercials. But it wouldn't surprise me if she hadn't done anything else of noteworthyness.
