General Hospital (GH) spoilers suggest the land of Port Charles can be an interesting place; however, some of the best stories take place behind the scenes!

General Hospital Spoilers’s – Mark Teschner Retells A Story From 1992

Picture it, the year was 1992 and Teschner was looking for a starlette to fill a new character’s shoes.

He was on the search for a young female start to step into the role of Brenda Barrett, and as fans know, the part eventually went to actress Vanessa Marcil; however, she almost walked out of her audition.

Teschner notes that Marcil walked into the waiting room and approximately five other actresses were waiting to audition.

He goes on to tell Soaps.com that, “Vanessa looked over the room, and she thought to herself, ‘These girls are so beautiful, I’m never gonna get it.’ She started to leave the audition!”

As Vanessa started walking out, Teschner opened the door and called her name, as it was her time to audition.

Marcil told Teschner after the fact that when she turned and saw him, she knew she was going to get the job at that point, but had he called her name even a minute later, she may have walked out before getting the chance to audition!

The Irony Of GH’s Vanessa Marcil

Of course, GH fans know that Marcil ended up getting the role, as Teschner states, “When she started doing the audition, even though she was a very raw, green actress, there was so much going on. I thought, ‘There’s some magic here.’”

Still, GH’s casting director points out the irony of Marcil not thinking she was pretty enough to play Brenda Barrett as shortly after she scored her GH role, she appeared in Prince’s ‘The Most Beautiful Girl in the World’ music video. Teschner goes on to say, “So, basically, the most beautiful girl in the world thought she wasn’t pretty enough and almost left an audition. “
