Her character Bree is back December 14th, Bree is no longer a call-girl, she is now Lucy Coe's senior vice president of marketing at CoeCosmetics

Meredith being cast along one of PC's all-time greatest characters? That lucky duck!

Woah, wait, back up. Are you telling me that a well-regarded journalist like Meredith Viera -- of The Today Show fame -- did a guest spot on GH once playing a hooker?

Under whose blasted pen did that travesty go down?! Oh wait, let me guess: it begins with a G. Either Guza or Garin.

It was ten years ago, had to be Luza lol

Her characters name is Bree Flanders and her character once tried to hire one of Luke's ladyloves

Who was that?

Not surprised to read that Vieira's previous role was penned by the esteemed Guza.

She was a madame back in 2003 and Summer was one of her girls.

I am just -- stunned. This must have been when MV was slumming on The View and Frons waved her contract in her face. Wonder if she up and quit not long after.

The Gooze and Frons's misogyny truly floors me. On NBC (a network which periodically shoots itself in the foot), this lady is considered a smart, respected journalist. On ABC, she is forced to play a call-girl on GH for a guest spot. Like, they didn't rate her highly enough to call her a "lady pimp."

She was a madam not a hooker.

Yeah she was, and I'm sure MV wouldn't have taken the part if she didn't like it

Now *this* is stunt casting.

I still like Meredith Viera but I am sure the GH thing was back when ABCD were pimping The View and doing cross promotion. And the View did not become a ratings success until the "bitchy" rivalry with that brainless blond, Hasselhack and Rosie.

I think Meredith has really dropped in recent appearances. She was awful during the Olympic coverage and she was prancing around foolishly on The Today Show yesterday trying to help make Matt Lauer likable. All she did was make herself sadly look ridiculous and Lauer still looks like a pompous douchebag. She has an advantage here that she's working with Lynn Herring and not the Walking Dead cast members.

Her 2003 stint was very fun, I liked it a lot.

Are you saying she's playing the same character, who is now out of the madam business? Or is she playing a new character?

I missed this whole "Meredith is my madam" SL back on GH so I can't remember if it was fun and tongue in cheek and all. Just reading that she played a call girl (see first post on this thread) surprised me because (a ) MV does not give off that kind of vibe and (b ) prostitution is a demeaning job for a woman to do. I know soaps have often had call girls as characters (Jess Walton's Kelly on Capitol comes to mind) but I still get a little, uh, taken aback when it's bandied around on a TV show with such... lightness.

And I would tend to agree that MV did herself no favors covering the Olympics in such an unresearched and hopeless way. She ended up sounding majorly stupid and doing her audience a disservice by transmitting a load of crap about Britain. And having to prop up Lauer's pompous ass every day is possibly not that much better than sitting between Star Jones and Barbara Walters. But once upon a time, she was considered professional, competent and smart.

Same character out of the madam business, now Senior VP of Lucy's Cosmetic's company

Who the hell would make a lady pimp VP of a big company?
