The show stars Jennifer Beals as Bette, Katherine Moennig as Shane, and Leisha Hailey as Alice.

Williams can be also seen this year in a follow-up to the classic horror film, Candyman. It was written by Jordan Peele and the actress will reprise her role as Anne-Marie McCoy from the original 1992 film.

Last but not least, Williams completed filming on BET’s “A Rich Christmas” in late 2020.

Days of our Lives spoilers – What is Next for Vanessa Williams?

More than four decades ago the character of Valerie Grant (then actress Tina Andrews and later Rose Fonseca) was part of the show’s first interracial romance with Julie Horton’s (Susan Seaforth Hayes) son, David Banning.

When Williams debuted in the role it was revealed that she and David had a son, Eli Grant (Lamon Archey). Sadly, David died offscreen without meeting Eli.

Valerie has shown romantic promise with Abe Carver through the years but has remained based in Washington D.C. This has made a romance between the doctor and the mayor difficult but now that Elani have had their twins, perhaps we will be seeing more of the new grandma?
