Vanessa Marano Y&R Progress

Vanessa Marano (April Nardini on Gilmore Girls) has been working on the CBS daytime Soap The Young and the Restless since December 3rd. Vanessa took over the role of Eden Gerick (Eden Baldwin) from another actress and has now starred in the series for at least 18 episodes, probably more (the listing is not up to date). Her character is the half-sister of Michael Baldwin (Christian LeBlanc) and daughter of River Baldwin (Michael Gross) and Sharon Newman Abbott (Sharon Case).

Eden has had an on-again-off-again relationship with Noah Newman (Kevin Schmidt) and often gets into trouble. Eden lives with her half-brother and his wife Lauren (Tracey E. Bregman) since her father is in jail awaiting a murder trial.

Eden is a rebel at school and in her life, her relationship with Noah just a part of that. After he was arrested when in Paris with Eden, Noah had been seeing Eden on the sly. Noah just suffered a near-death experience that brought that relationship out into the open – with everyone blaming Eden.

Here’s a recent video clip of Vanessa Marano on The Young and the Restless:

15 year-old Vanessa Marano is currently enrolled in her sophomore (second) year in college and also has a recurring role in the TNT drama Trust Me. Vanessa began acting in theater at the age of 6.

Soap Operas are always rough, way to many hours of programming for it to be otherwise. This Marano gal is cute and seems to have the attitude for Eden.
