I Think They May Be Glad If She Quits
They don't want her. In fact, I bet they were counting on her not accepting recurring. Frank and all TPTB knew there would be repurcussions and outcries over letting Genie go and they are prepared to take the heat because it will die down. Steve Burton is the big item now, Tamara Braun is back, and Felecia/Kristina has been on quite a bit lately and she looks fantastic. SPinelli is back on on quite a bit too. I think they see Genie as this Grandma type figure. She dresses rather matronly with those jackets and long skirts and has zero sex appeal. They give her a hairstyle out of the 80's and her hair is dark. Look at pics of Genie with blonde hair. When she first returned this time with blonde hair, she was slender and had on that black leather jacket, stiletto heels and tight jeans and she was smokin hot.... THEN she starting gaining the weight back and then came the grandmother/mama bear routine and the change in wardrobe. It doesn't matter that Genie is a beautiful woman..This is Hollywood standards where everyone needs to be slender, youthful looking and sexy. Genie is not in that category to them. They just see her as matronly and disposable and they are shooting for a younger audience. Finola still has a dancers body and NLG is thin and wears those low cut sexy shirts,short skirts and modern hair. I believe what Jane Elliott said about the network advertisers want to appeal to a younger audience and purchase clothes like Kelly Monaco wears and what Laura Wright wears. There is a site where you can order those cute clothes they wear. It's all about the youth and even if you are older, you better be slender, sexy and appealing to a younger audience or you get the boot. --Previous Message-- : : : Unless Genie is to the point where she's : ready to semi-retire at GH, then she : shouldn't accept recurring. : : While everything Jane says makes sense, it : does NOT apply to the situation when it : comes to Genie's contract. : : Tony is far older than Genie.
