Ugly Betty anyone? I would have thought y'all soap fans knew that show. Vanessa Williams (the one who is NOT going to be on Days) was great as the evil Wilhelmina. |

Oh, wait, I cop to both liking the wrong Vanessa Williams on Ugly Betty and to thinking it was the wrong Vanessa Williams. I'm still skeptical about this casting but the knee jerk reaction is over and I'm hopeful for Abe that this will be something. |

I remember her from All My Children too. I think she was in Jessie and Angie's story. And I believe she worked with Vanessa Williams in a story about four young women living in Harlem and it also starred Jasmine Guy. Anyone remember that mini series? Took place in the 1930s. My bad, it wasn't Vanessa Williams who was on AMC it was Vanessa Bell Calloway and also the one in the movie with beauty queen VW.

Why? I don't get this return. They could totally use this money elsewhere. |

BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :applause: I think she will do just fine with this cast! Don't want her to be pushed over like other actors and actresses are. |

I've never seen the Melrose Place actress's work, so I can't say anything regarding that, but I am really bummed now after I initially read the headline. I thought it was singer/actress/Miss America Vanessa Williams. I actually just saw her this summer in Provincetown, MA. Her show was one I had never experienced before... it was her, a guy playing piano, and in between each song, the pianist would almost interview her and she would talk about her career and what she has coming up. I'm sure she would've hinted at being cast on DAYS if that were the case. She is stunningly beautiful in person! I will give the other actress the benefit of the doubt as a lot of you seem to be saying she has decent acting chops. Weird that they would bring back the character of Valerie Grant after more than 30 years of her even being mentioned. |

Did DAYS know she wasn't Vanessa L. Williams before they cast her?

At least she's not for Deimos. :) Then again, that would free Nicole, so I'll be willing to root for Deimorie. I never saw Valerie before. Is she a good character? Edited by Deverauxfan, Oct 4 2016, 06:58 PM.

I just watched Candyman over the weekend. :blulaugh: The part where he cuts off her dog's head is horrifying. |

By at least a decade and a half. The only Valerie Grant I knew was Dianne Sommerfield, who would be 67 if she were alive. She passed away in 2001. James Reynolds is 70 years old. Vanessa Williams is the proper age for his daughter. |
