Thanks Ms. Francis for setting everybody straight! And you are absolutely right you have to have somebody interested in telling the story the Laura I know would never have left her children Lulu never mentions her mother. I do not see them investing in her character this is still a man oriented soap opera nothing has changed with the OLTL guys who did they give contracts to from OLTL men. The only reason Starr was brought on was for Michael. It drives me nuts. I wish you all the best in the future.

“Genevieve was such an interesting character and there was so much storyline Storyline potential for this character. She was a very flawed character who had a hard side and yet could be quite vulnerable too. Genie has such an amazing range and she did a great job portraying this character. It’s a shame they let an incredible actress go who added so much to YR. I’m really going to miss her on YR and when she leaves I will too! I hope she goes to GH because she is such a great actress and I want her on my screen daily!

I would love to see Genie return to GH, and I think what she said about being in a story of who Laura is now makes a lot of sense. WHY hasn’t Laura returned before now, to support her children? Good question……

Would love for het to go to GH. Some much story left to tell.

I have watched Young and the Restless because Genie is on the show, and I would love to see her come back to General Hospital as Laura.

I want to see Genie Francis return to General Hospital more than I want to see ANY other character from GH history, or from another show, join the cast! I would love to see a Laura such as she describes with links to her past, but with a new and exciting direction and story. Of course, I will always want that story to include her family – especially her children. And right now, she has a daughter in Port Charles in whose life a revitalized Laura can play a significant role. Mr. Valentini and Mr. Carlivati, please make this much-needed and much-wanted return happen!! With GH approaching its 50th anniversary, with Luke having rediscovered his family values and with Lulu and Dante planning a family, the time is right.

I hope Genie Francis returns before the end of the year. I’d love to see Laura Spencer come home to her family. I loved Luke and Laura and still do. I still hold out for a Luke and Laura reunion…

I love the idea but if she comes back it needs to be for several years not just a short term stint

I wouldn’t be surprised if FV is trying to get Genie to come home. Fingers crossed.

I would love Genie to come back to GH! I love her and I think that she wonderful actress. I think that Lulu getting pregnant at some point would be a great time for Laura to come back to and be with her GH daughter through that time 🙂

Genie should of been back on GH especially now that Edward is dead because he deserves a great farewell!

Genie is a pro, she would never say anything about anothelassr actor or producer derogatory, she is a class act. I wouls enjoy seeing her back on GH just to confound Luke with his divided heart!

Lulu & Dante get pregnant and Laura comes back for the birth or before. She comes back from Paris even though she has a very successful cafe and is quite clear on who she is now. It is the rest of Port Charles that is going to have to keep up
. She is no longer the weeper and although she will always love Luke she doesnt need him anymore.

As much as I would love to see Genie return to GH-if she does, be very afraid…

I’d love it if Genie came back to GH with good story lines like Anna and Tracey, not as a pale self of the lady who went into the asylum. Paris sounds iike a good starting point for her “comeback.”

I would love to see Laura back on GH. Lulu has lost her mom, grandma and 3 brothers . Your idea sounds great. Hoping to see Genie at GH!! Then Lucky and Nicholas could come back!! Ethan too!!

If Genie goes over to GH, I will become an ABC soap fan and make time to watch that show, too!

She is a fine actress, she has no place on Y&R. GH is her home and this is were she belongs. Handled the JFP situation with grace and class. Best of luck to her!

Laura, Scotty and Lesley need to be back full time. Denise Alexander is one the most powerful actresses ever to grace GH and she and Monica could go back to an adversarial relationship. And I love the idea of Edward leaving HIS shares of ELQ to Laura, that would be great story.

I loved Genie on YR. But if she is to return to GH she needs to strong story with action and suspense. She needs to be mentally sound and in control. And Im sure she doesnt want to play a supporting role to Julie Marie Berman ( Leslie lu) that’s a waste of a talented actress. Genie deserves her own front burner story line. And fans of GH history deserve a true L&L reunion, despite Tony Geary’s reported aversion to that idea.
If they can’t give Genie what she’s due Id prefer that she move on. I dont want see her languishing in the shadow of the One Lifers just playing a dull wife and mother. Snooze. Like you Andrew I grew up watching Genie with Denise Alexander. I concur that Denise is one of the most powerful actresses in daytime history and she and Genie were magic together.
But given Denise’s age I doubt that the brass is interested in revisiting that magic pairing. It’s sad but ageism is part and parcel of the entertainment industry. Look at how poor Leslie Charleson ( Monica ) has been treated over the last 12 yrs. She’s only just now getting some supporting air time. But from what soap columnist Jamie Giddens has said a story line for Monica is out of the question in the network’s mind. The entertainment industry is so full of back stage politics and prejudices. I want Genie to work somewhere she is appreciated . Her fans do appreciate her, but that doesnt necessarily mean that the networks execs do. I want whats best for Genie whether that takes her back to GH or elsewhere. She comes first in my heart, even before her fictional character,

did you get that Ron and Frank? now get to working and getting Genie to come back to GH asap.

What a great actress. I feel she should have been back on GH a long time ago. She is the best of the best.

I would love to see Genie come back to GH and maybe bring one of her sons back with her. The family dynamic would be a fabulous addition to the newly revitalized GH. The Spencers are one of the core families on my beloved soap and the storyline possibilites are endless!

Genie is one of my favorite actress.please bring her back to gh and soon hopefully someone is listening to all of her fans.

I recall many years ago, Laura was head of some kind of fashion cloths line, or Make up line. I am sure she could take over Kate’s Magazine until Kate is back on her feet, and then they could go into partnership. In the mean time, all the other sturn und drung could go on as usual. THAT’S what makes soap operas. Listen up ABC/Disney the fans KNOW what they want. THEY WANT THEIR SOAPS BACK!!! And their favorite stars. For what it has cost you with The Revulsion, The Chew, Anderson, and Katie Curic, you could have brought back the soaps you took off and added one or two new ones. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO GET THE MESSAGE!!!!

Genevieve doesn’t have a deep connection to any characters on Y&R,not even Cane.
It might have been interesting to see what was developing with the “Samantha” storyline but that looks to be scrapped with Genie exiting Y&R.
It would be interesting to see her back on GH as Laura – but Genie herself said in an interview on Oprah a few years back that she did not want to play Laura as a “victim” anymore and who could blame her.
People have to evolve and change over time when things happen to them….it would be interesting to see what Laura has been up to since leaving Port Charles and seeing Scott Baldwin on the plane bound for Paris.
Hmm…..writers ??????

Laura should come back to GH, but only if she truly has a story of her own and it’s not just an ongoing trip down memory lane. She needs to come back as her own independent woman. She ran her own company back in the day. Maybe she should be the new editor of Crimson or become the hospital Administrator.

But pleeeeze…don’t bring her back for Luke!

I love Genie Frances. I love and adore her. She is so real and down to earth. She also is truth telling and I appreciate her honesty about the FACTS in situaltions of the past. I would love to see Genie back as Laura and be reunited with Luke, and get (Johnathn Jackson) back as Lucky, along with Lulu. We need to see them as a family on the show, before anything happens to the show, or one of them, God forbid.
Genie, I hope your idea for Laura finds its way to GH and our televison screen.

Fictional couple Luke Spencer and Laura Webber are CREDITED with defining the term supercouple.

Yahoo! TV stated that “…Vanessa Marcil’s coupling with Benard, gave ‘GH’ its first legitimate heir to the ‘Luke and Laura’ throne of soap coupledom”.

The article argued that this type of supercouple “… has not been seen on daytime television in some time — if EVER “, and that, “along with the return of Luke and Laura after a decade-long absence”, it created a “second golden age” for soaps as “the daytime appointment television”.[55]

Sorry she will no longer be on Y & R. She needs to come back to GH where she has always belonged but needs a good storyline to go with it! The new team of Writers and the New director and producer can come up with a very good story and make it work!

Bring back Laura Spencer with a daughter would be interesting ( the new Maxie gal) reminded me of Laura in the 80’s .. but when Laura leaves the show take Luke (Tony Geary) his story are such a waste. Love OLTL characters/merging with GH makes it more exciting.. The last yr of AMC was boring.. I had a feeling it would’ve been cancelled before it happened.. One of AMC valuable actor is Hayward, he would fit in perfect.

I really really liked Genie Francis at Y&R. She is a wonderful actress. They could have done so much with her. I think I would have let go two actors if it meant keeping Genie Francis. I think I am about to give up on the soaps. After losing my AMC, I have tried so hard to find a soap I like. Bold and Beautiful is just stupid and silly. The Hope , Steffy, Liam triangle is ridiculous. The only thing that Days has going for it is EJ so I expect him to get fired any day now. Every time I try to watch GH, there is a gun pointed at someone. So, I was left with Y&R . Now they are getting rid of Genie Francis who was one of best actors they have. I am watching AMC repeats on soap net. What a sad day for soap operas !

No please keep her on Y&R I am not a General
Hospital girl. Especially since it is on ABC.
I have not been the same since losing AMC & OLTL!
