In what is sure to silence those General Hospital comeback rumors (at least temporarily), Vanessa Marcil is joining CBS’ Without a Trace for a multi-episode arc, sources confirm to me exclusively.
The Daytime Emmy winner, who just wrapped a stint as music manager Josie on NBC’s possibly-alive Lipstick Jungle, will play a NYC social worker and potential love interest for Eric Close’s Martin.
Marcil debuts in this season’s 17th episode, which is slated to air in March.

Awesome..she is the best..I’m glad she will be on a show I already watch
Finally!! Something besides the so boring Sam and Jack. I wish we could see Martin, Vivian and Danny more. I have no interest in Helena. I love Martin and Vanessa Marcil is always good.
I’ve got to agree. This is awesome news. I’d been wondering who they’d cast for this part and hoping it would be someone good. VM will do great, I think.
YEAH! I just saw her on “Nanny Express” and I immediately thought she would be a great addition. Thanks so much! You totally made my day.
Yippee!! Maybe now we won’t have to suffer through any more of “The Jack and Sam plus baby and babydaddy Show”
Finally, finally some decent screen-time for Eric Close. Now if only we could have the same for Danny and Viv.
Awesome ! I love the JS storyline but I’m glad to know that Martin is also going to have some stuff. And Vanessa is awesome !
Love this show ! Thanks =)
I’m still waiting for the producers at “Desperate Housewives” to realize that Vanessa Marcil would make a perfect ball-buster sister for Gabrielle.
Great! Eric Close is so hott! I agree w/ briana and Lilli – I’m tired of seeing Sam and Jack. It’s gross b/c he’s old. Ick
Matt, that would be interesting since Eva Langoria was previously married to Tyler Christopher and he was engaged to Vanessa when they both were on General Hospital.
I’m happy that we’re finally going to see some of the other actors get a storyline. I love Eric Close and he has been woefully underused in the last 3 Seasons. Mind you, so has Marianne Jean Baptiste and Enrique Murciano. Hopefully their time will come .
YEAAAH!!! I can’t wait!! Love Vanessa Marcil so much, she is amazing. I’m sure it’s going to be great for Marty to have a new love interest and to forget about Samantha
Love them so much <3
The seven season of Without A Trace is definitely one of the BEST! Love absolutely everything about it…
Jack/Sam, Brian’s return, and of course, Danny and Elena, best pairing ever
Can't wait for the upcoming episodes and of course to see Vanessa in the show
Vanessa Marcil is so hot! Lucky man, Eric Close, getting to make out with her. Damn!
Sorry to disagree gina, but in my mind, this season is the worst ever.
The producers have forgotten this is a drama show about missing persons. Instead they have allowed it to degenerate into a soap opera, with all the focus on Jack and Samantha.
And it annoys me that they don’t take notice of the criticisms levelled at the show.
I can’t see any way back – Without A Trace is past it’s sell-by date.
It’s about time Martin got a little lovin’
I hope she treats him better than Samantha did.
As long as it keep her non acting slutty ass away from GH, I’m happy.
