I don't know what happened in this situation. It certainly seemed that they were committed to keeping Genie under contract. I'm not watching any more, but all of you were saying that she was finally getting an interesting story that she was excited about. They invested airtime to doing a wedding for her and brought back Denise for it. It also seems that it was a surprise to the show as the writing had to be radically changed to make Kevin run for mayor. That's the kind of thing that happens when it is too late to change writing, but an accommodation needs to be made because the talent isn't there.
Knowing Genie's history with the show makes me wonder if this indicates a final departure. She hasn't wanted to do recurring work or short-time contract work. Who could blame her? Why should she tie herself up for people who are not willing to commit to her?
Saddest of all for me, is that we will NEVER get to find out what was in that letter or get that HEA ending that I so wanted for LnL. Maybe they could have Lulu receive a letter from Laura while she in is France saying that she bumped into Luke and rekindled their love. I guess that's about the best that we can hope for.
