It seems that to have a contracted role, you must have some kind of romantic partner. Otherwise, you become a Monica or Bobbie. I don't know what Jon Lindstorm's situation is. However, without him under contract with her, there is no question that she would not get a major commitment from them. Why do they feel that Genie is disposable? That is the question for me. Don't they feel some sort of obligation to her to at least be respectful? Let's be honest. Genie has some problems with executive producers. Maybe it is the way her agent negotiates or the terms she demands. It seems that she needs to re-think the way the soap world has changed since the 80's when she could write her own ticket and commanded all sorts of perks because of the power of her draw. The money isn't there any more. The loyalty isn't there. They don't seem to care what the audience wants to see because they would probably rather just cancel the whole troublesome thing and bring on a cheap talk show in its place.
Genie's brand of deep sensitive portrayal is really not what they are doing on GH these days. The scenes are short and choppy. They tell too many stories and don't develop emotional drama for any of them. It is comic book art, and she is doing layered depth. If you look at old scenes of LnL, you see powerful, meaningful work. Does that exist on GH any more? She's like a Chippendale table in a room filled with IKEA. I think that's part of the problem. They don't want to take the time to write for and create for someone who demands a certain quality of work. I think either she has to accept their terms or move on to do something else because the situation at GH is not going to change. Sad but true.

: Frank V. could not have done this without the
: OK from his bosses. He would not make this
: monumental as well as controversial decision
: just on his own. He recently hired and put
: on contract Tamara Braun who is quite the
: favorite and a vet of GH. He also hired
: Laura Wright's boyfriend who is young and
: attractive and put him as head of a
: newspaper just out of the blue. Faison is
: brought back into the picture too for a run,
: They also are bringing back Ryan Carnes who
: is Bobbie's son and a doctor along with
: Brytni Sarpi who was a policewoman who dated
: Curtis. Steve Burton is back and lots of
: JaSam fans have returned. William DeVry was
: brought back and put on contract so you have
: lots of younger actors coming into the
: picture so Frank V sees Genie as just excess
: baggage. They are going for the younger
: audience. Finola and NLG are in their 50's
: but still are appealing, stylish and have
: crazy mystery storylines. They have that
: Grandmother type personality. They wrote
: Genie as married now, a doting Grandmother,
: and a fashion dud with a hairstyle mainly
: from the 80's. I often wondered why Genie
: returned this time and then became a
: brunette and now a redhead. I don't know.
: Just rambling here I guess.
