[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 339403, member: 27"] I watched that clip just to find out who DW played on ATWT, since I had no recollection of her being on that show. Still don't remember...but IMDB says she only appeared in six episodes, and according to her in that clip, the character got (unceremoniously) strangled. I'm surprised they even brought it up, since it sounds like one of those "cannon fodder" characters they introduce with intent to kill them off (soaps have to do this to add "juice" to a dangerous plotline, since they can't go around killing off too many "main" characters). The lack of attention to her needs (not letting her know if she needed to report the next day, etc.) speaks to this status as a temporary hire, since most actors hoping to break into soaps put up with this sort of disrespect because they're so desperate to keep getting called back, so to speak. I felt I knew her from something, though....turned out it was as Val on [I]Agony.[/I] [/QUOTE]
