: I remember the comment about Peter Bergman.
: Not making any excuses for her feelings, but
: I can imagine that it must have been really
: difficult during much of LnL to reason why
: he got so much attention. The attention to
: him was in response to the audience's
: reaction to him. He was their big star.
: Measured by mail, Emmy nominations, favor of
: the producers, vacations, probably salaries,
: etc, he was the one who got the favored
: treatment. I always thought he was very
: gracious to her. When he received his first
: Emmy, he said, "Genie Francis, half of
: this is yours!" Was he in any way to
: blame for the years that she was denied a
: place on GH? That is a matter for
: speculation. If the people in charge had
: wanted her, she would have been there doing
: LnL or not. I still say it was a matter of
: money. When he left, there was room for her
: in the budget. I really feel that stars
: should not compare partners or others they
: have worked with. It can only lead to hard
: feelings. Personally, I don't care about
: how they feel about the people with whom
: they work. The only thing I care about is
: the product that comes across my screen.
: Tony loved working with Jane, but I hated
: every minute of their partnership on screen.
: You can't deny chemistry. Genie can sing
: the praises of Peter Bergman and Jon
: Lindstrom, but they won't hold a candle to
: what she created with TG.

: I mentioned it because back when Genie was
: on Y&R, and I use to post on soap boards,
: she did an interview praising Peter Bergman
: for being the most generous leading mans
: he's ever had, and said some others were all
: about hogging the attention for themselves.
:
: A lot of posters on the boards inferred she
: was talking about Tony and just ripped him
: apart. I think it might have even been
: brought up on this board.
