Description: Troublemaking Temptress

Last Known Address:  Statesville Prison, though a con artist bearing a suspicious resemblance to her has turned up in Guiding Light's Springfield calling herself Jenna Bradshaw.  Perhaps they should check Gabrielle's cell.

Sensational Sins:  Who would embezzle funds from a charity?  Who would commit adultery with a priest?  Who would forge documents in order to convince Max that he was a-- gasp! -- Buchanan!  Even though Gabrielle responded to Carlo's blackmail, she still ended up in prison.  Not so sweet Gabrielle learned far too late that it's bad news to mess with Viki.

Who Really Needs Her:  Except for her son, little Al, no one in Llanview.  But OLTL fans would enjoy getting back the vixen they love to hate.

Bonus Points:  Gabrielle would send Luna packing and try to climb back into the sack with Max.  (After all, she is the mother of his child.)  Then she'd renew her old rivalry with Tina, and perhaps try to woo Cain away.  But the most amusing scenario would be Gabby mistaking poor ol' Mortimer for Carlo.  After all, she's got a score to settle with Hesser.  Let the games begin!

Why We Want her Back:  To watch her once again wreak havoc on the people of Llanview.

If She Returned to Llanview:  Fresh out of prison, Gabrielle is desperate for money and heads to Atlantic City.  She gets her hands on just enough dough to get back the old Gabrielle style and attitude.  She's waiting at the bar for some wealthy gentlemen to buy her a drink, when david Vickers slithers over.  She wants nothing to do with him, so David lies and says he's a very rich bachelor.  Her ears perk up, especially when he mentions his inheritance came from the late Victor Lord.  Unable to pass up the opportunity to live the high life, or a chance to see her son, she latches onto David and they return to Llanview.  Gabrielle lays low, but when she learns David is really broke, they hatch a plan to get Todd's money away from Blair.

Last actress to play the role:  Fiona Hutchison (also ex-Jenna, GL)

Best Choice for a recast:  None.  Only Fiona could pull off this character's nastiest schemes and still make us love to hate her day in and day out.
