Vinessa Antoine Joins ‘Ginny & Georgia’ as Simone, A Woman “Shaking Things Up a Bit”

"General Hospital" alum Vinessa Antoine can currently be seen in season two of Netflix's "Ginny & Georgia." Here's what you need to know about her new role.

For four seasons, “General Hospital” alum Vinessa Antoine starred as Marcie Diggs in the Canadian drama series “Diggstown,” and now the actress is following up that role by joining the cast of the Netflix original series “Ginny & Georgia.”

Appearing in episodes six, seven, eight and ten of the show’s current second season, Antoine portrays Simone, an attorney who is dating Ginny’s (Antonia Gentry) father, Zion (Nathan Mitchell). The complete opposite of Georgia (Brianne Howey), Simone’s time on the show has already led to her making a big impression on Zion’s loved ones, including sharing meals with Ginny and joining Zion as his date at Georgia’s wedding to Paul (Scott Porter).

“The wait is over!” stated Antoine earlier this month when all-new episodes of the series dropped on the streaming service. “Special thank you to our director @thesharonlewis for letting me also tag along to shadow her this season as a director. I’m forever grateful to you, @sllampy and @debrajfisher and our writer @angelanissel and the entire cast and crew for this opportunity!!”
