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

I was thinking the same thing.

But thanks for the answer Angie!

Uhm Bobbie's a doctor and she was once a prostitute, it can happen

Nurse lol

I thought she was doing some sort of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" spoof with Finola Hughes and Jason Thompson. Wtf!

crap I mean Nurse for Bobbie, not doctor

I thought she was doing some sort of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" spoof with Finola Hughes and Jason Thompson. Wtf!

No, Finola and Jason are appearing on Millionaire though.

Now *this* is stunt casting.

But just wait until Bree runs into Connie and "outs" her as one of her "girls" from BITD. Just. Wait.

Uhm Bobbie's a doctor and she was once a prostitute, it can happen

Bobbie became a nurse not a VP of a big company. Not a good comparison.

No, Finola and Jason are appearing on Millionaire though.

Oh so it's like a vice versa thing? Makes sense, thanks!

I love Meredith, I'll have to try to catch this. Back in her The View days, Star played God on Port Charles, like Frons had on Santa Barbara years ago, I'm surprised Joy never did a guest stint as some "wacky" Carlivati character on OLTL.

"Due to illness, today the part of Connie Falconeri will be played by Elisabeth Hasselbeck..." WATCH!

But Bobbie was a doctor when she was prostitute, wasn't she ;-)

This is just like RC bringing back minor characters and tying them to legendary characters.

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 wore diapers on The View. As degrading as Guza was, a quick role as a madame must have seemed like a breeze in comparison.

Stunt casting. But, she gets scenes with Lucy so that should be cool.

I think it could be a fun little guest stint. It also redeems her from her 2003 stint. lol.

TV Guide Magazine: You were such a hoot as Bree. What's become of our girl?

Vieira: Well, she's no longer providing comfort to men! Lynn Herring returns to the show as Lucy Coe [also Friday] and it turns out Bree is her senior vp of marketing at CoeCoe Cosmetics. Sabrina and Felix are desperately trying to get a meeting with Lucy but first they have to go through me. [Laughs] But, really, not much has changed for Bree. Prostitution. Makeup. Hey, it's all sales.

TV Guide Magazine: Why'd she give up sex work?

Vieira: Bree probably saw the writing on the wall. She's getting older. Or maybe the law was on her ass. Heidi Fleiss wound up doing a reality show, didn't she? Everyone deserves a second chance.

TV Guide Magazine: So, as an actress, you're not disappointed Bree went legit?

Vieira: Well, maybe it's not as juicy to be in cosmetics but it would be so pathetic if Bree was still in the madam business 10 years later, sitting there with her scotch and her cigarettes. It would have been creepy. I'm just so surprised they're bringing her back at all. I just assumed something bad had happened to her. Or that she was like that famous kid in soaps who went upstairs to get his skis and never came back.

TV Guide Magazine: Word is, Bree will reveal she used to be a hooker who once worked for Renee Divine, a popular character that appeared for years on One Life to Live.

Vieira: Really? Yeah, before Bree became a madam in her own right she used to work for a madam named Renee at a whorehouse in Reno, Nevada, but nobody told me Renee was a character the audience would know! That's so cool! They probably didn't want to load me down with too much information. They were probably thinking, "Let's hope the poor thing can get through this!" These soaps move so fast, you know. So much faster than 10 years ago!

TV Guide Magazine: Isn't this GH stint part of a crossover with your game show Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

Vieira: Yes, we have Finola Hughes (Anna), Ian Buchanan (Duke), Jason Thompson (Patrick) and [head writer] Ron Carlivati coming on Millionaire. It'll air around GH's 50th anniversary in April. Such terrific people! I've had some wonderful opportunities thanks to these crazy jobs of mine, particularly Millionaire and The View and Today. I played a party planner on All My Children and someone threw a pot at me. I even got to dance with the Rockettes on opening night of their Christmas show at Radio City, which I took very seriously. That's sacred stuff and they normally don't allow it. Of course, I stood out like a sore thumb because they're all ridiculously tall compared to me.
