Ex-General Hospital Actress, Vanessa Marcil to Host Reality Series.

Wednesday, October 01 2008


Vanessa Marcil (NBC)
General Hospital fans may not be seeing Vanessa Marcil (ex-Brenda Barrett) on a Port Charles set any time soon, but they can tune into Lifetime this fall for a new reality show that she is hosting. The competition show is called "Blush: The Search for the Next Great Make-Up Artist" and it premieres on Tuesday, November 11 from 10:00 - 11:00 PM (ET/PT).

Contestants from all over the United States will compete for a highly sought after professional artist position with Max Factor. The winner will also take home a cash prize of $100,000 and win the opportunity to serve as the make-up artist for a Style magazine photo shoot. The judges are set to be Joanna Schlip, beauty author and professional make-up artist who has worked with such clients as Eva Longoria, Scarlett Johansson, Ellen Pompeo, Laura Linney, Hilary Duff, Sheryl Crow and Jessica Simpson. The other judge is InStyle Fashion Director, Hal Rubenstein. Charlie Green, make-up artist, will guide the contestants through their challenges. "Blush" will be set in Los Angeles.

General Hospital fans speculated most of the summer away on the Soaps.com GH Message Board about whether the cancellation of Vanessa Marcil's (ex-Brenda Barrett) Primetime show, "Las Vegas", would lead the greatly missed actress back to the sets of Port Charles. Finally, last month fans were disheartened to learn from Comings & Goings Section that the actress signed on for recurring Primetime roll on NBC's second season of "Lipstick Jungle." Add that to her commitment to Lifetime, and it looks as her fans might have to wait a while longer for her schedule to allow time for GH.

At least we'll all learn a few new make-up tips, right? Soaps.com congratulates Vanessa on her booming career!

Wish Vanessa the best of luck.
Sorry, but never was a "Brenda" fan when she on GH.
But that's only my opinion.

I agree. I miss Brenda too. Sonny and her are one of the best couples if not the best couple in daytime tv. Now Sonny is just going from woman to woman and making babies. Back then Brenda was the only woman he thought about. That's why he didn't married her. He couldn't run his business because he couldn't think straight when she was around. If she came back and didn't end up with Sonny. I think it would be interesting if they would match her up with Jason. They were hilarious when they were in their fake marriage.

Vanessa please come back. Sonny needs Brenda now more than ever. Please come back we miss you. Plus you need to put Carly in her place and Sam needs a friend.

I don't care if she comes back or not. I want Sonny back with Carly, where he belongs. He didn't marry her, he left her at the alter with Jason as the messenger. It wasn't a true love match. And she was with Jason, Sonny and then Jax. Too much, too soon.
