Vanessa Marcil (Brenda Barrett on General Hospital) is coming back for a third time to reprise her role on the beloved soap. Her popular character helped Vanessa snag three Daytime Emmy nominations -- and a win in 2003 for Outstanding Supporting Actress –- so is this comeback going to be a hit or miss?

As a Libra, with a Mars in Virgo, and the announcement being made on the day Mars transited into Virgo, chances are good that the fans will still be loyal to the character and Vanessa’s return will be embraced. Plus, with her first episode set to air August 11, the stars are still in full support. Mars will still be in Virgo backing her, and she also has the added luck of Venus entering Libra that day, which will aspect her Sun beautifully. The good news for GH fans: with such astrological alignment, Brenda Barrett is likely to stay in Port Charles for a very long time.
