FACE OFF

In 1998, when Ellen Wheeler who originated the roles of Marley and Victoria Love on Another World returned to the show to play Marley only, viewers got a chance to see two of the part's signature actresses, Wheeler and Marley/Vicky #3, Jensen Buchanan, go head to head in a sort of Love Match.

However, one contender was missing from the equation. Anne Heche (later best known as Ellen DeGeneres' girlfriend in between dating a majority of her leading men) played Marley and Vicky from 1987 to 1991.



Those who wonder how Heche and Buchanan might have come off in a head to head match, have a unique chance to watch them play the roles side by side. Currently, Hulu.com is airing AW episodes from the summer of 1991. A summer when Heche was just finishing up her Bay City stint and Jensen was beginning it.



In the summer of 1991, Marley was engaged to Jamie Frame, her sister Vicky's ex. But Marley and Vicky's ex-lover, Jake, was determined to break Marley and Jamie up, as well as to prove that Vicky's son, Steven, was actually Jake's not Jamie's.

To watch how both Anne Heche and Jensen Buchanan tackled the twin sisters' multitudes of crises, watch AW on Hulu.com, here!
