Ex-General Hospital Star Vanessa Marcil on Without A Trace.

Another road block on the way back to Port Charles.

She’s not returning to GH, but she can be seen on the small screen, as Vanessa Marcil (ex-Brenda) is set to appear on the CBS drama, “Without a Trace”.

Marcil will portray a New York City social worker and love interest for Eric Close’s character, Martin. Vanessa’s character apparently has a secret from her past that the two must deal with before they can move forward.

Everyone’s favorite former GHer’s multi-episode arc will begin in March.

While we always hold out hope that she will return to Daytime, Soap Opera Fan Blog is happy for Vanessa’s success in Primetime and can’t wait to see her in this new role.
