I'm with J on this one. Genie has said over
and over that money wasn't an issue. If they
offered her a contract that respected her
needs for time off, she'd be back IMO.

: Here is the bottom line for us, and it isn't
: pretty. They view LnL as a story of the
: past. They don't feel that it brings in the
: demographic they are seeking. Look at how
: they are using Tony. The other day he was
: peeking around the corner as Liz and Nik
: were kissing. That is clearly the mark of a
: supporting character. Luke has not driven a
: story in a few years. He and Tracy are
: peripheral characters now. JJ was brought
: back because he brings in older viewers as
: well as younger ones (possibly). He creates
: a triangle with Tyler and Becky. They are
: willing to pay him whatever, but they are
: NOT willing to pay Genie what she is worth,
: if we can accept that rumor on DD.
:
: Genie needs to get back on GH. She needs to
: work her magic with Tony and affect the
: ratings. If I were advising her, I would
: tell her to take what they are offering for
: a 2 year contract that would make her
: schedule jive with Tony's. I would tell her
: to ask for the same months off. She could
: then do whatever in her spare time...make TV
: movies, summer in Maine, do her buying for
: her shop.
:
: I'm sad to say this, but I think the
: possibility of her returning to GH are
: numbered. Tony is going to leave soon, and
: then her opportunity will even be less than
: it is now. Who knows if Gh will even be
: around 2 years from now?
:
: People all over the country are taking pay
: cuts and losing jobs. The daytime industry
: is spiraling down so quickly that it makes
: your head spin. They have little money to
: spare. The whole entertainment industry is
: being rocked by the economy. If Genie is
: being offered a job at GH, she should take
: it while she still can. That would be my
: advice to her.

: INTERESTING GUZA INTERVIEW IN THE LATEST
: SOAP
: OPERA WEEKLY:
:
: Guza on return of JJ as Lucky: “We know one
: of the biggest complaints of current and
: lapsed soap fans is not seeing familiar
: faces when they tune in to their favorite
: daytime dramas and we realize we have to
: pull out all the stops to make our fans
: happy. We hope those viewers that were
: touched by the story of first love between
: Liz and Lucky will tune in to see them
: together again.”
:
: Guza on other returning faves: “We have no
: immediate plans as of yet for any big
: returns besides JJ, but there’s a long list
: of legacy characters that are always welcome
: back to PC.”
:
: I hope this doesn't mean they've shut the
: door on Genie.
: If they think they can bring back this
: lapsed viewer without bringing Genie back
: they're dead wrong.
: I wish JJ all the best and the same for
: Tony, but I'M NOT INTERESTED WITHOUT GENIE!
: I saw another drop on DD over the weekend
: that TIIC may be offering Genie a
: ridiculously small amount of money to come
: back and she won't take it.
: I don't know what to believe anymore, but it
: sure seems to me that GH is willing to do
: any and everything EXCEPT bring Genie back
: full time.
: I just don't understand why they don't want
: her back??
: I love JJ but I'll just have to watch him on
: Youtube, I'm not gonna help these idiots
: raise ratings when it seems they have no
: intention of bringing Genie is back.

: From wubs
:
: The return of Jonathan Jackson was
: difficult because I genuinely liked Greg
: Vaughan's "Grown UpLucky" and had
: become used to his performances. I didn't
: like the writing for the character however,
: and I'm going to say it: I don't think Tony
: Geary did much to help matters. His
: performances with both Jacob Young and Greg
: were wonderful as usual but lacked a certain
: charm and lightness I'd come to love from
: him. The minute JJ was on screen, it was
: back. "Cowboy" became meaningful
: again. I'm still getting used to seeing he
: and Becky together again but it will come in
: time. Having Genie Francis come back would
: make my heart go BOOM! So hurry up, get her
: signed!!
