: So, if Genie was not a victim of aging, just
: what do you think makes her so expendable?
: Is it about the cost of her, the demands of
: her contract? There has to be a reason that
: she was sacrificed. Do you also feel that
: this decision was make by more than FV?
:
: I don't think I agree with the idea that she
: should not accept recurring. A lot of
: talent of her era have been reduced to
: recurring...Leslie Charleson, Kin Shriner,
: Jackie Zeman are all on recurring. There
: are not a lot of soaps around any more, and
: it is not going to be a cake walk to move
: into stage or film. She could probably do
: regional theater, but that involves extended
: leaves around the country, and she has a
: marriage and comfortable lifestyle that
: would have to be back-burnered. Working
: part-time seems like a pretty comfortable
: way to stay active without too much
: sacrifice. I guess it all depends on her
: personal career goals.
:
: The bottom line for me is the satisfaction
: she is getting from working on GH. Does it
: fulfill her desire to act? Is it worth her
: time? The show is not Shakespeare any more.
: That is for sure. Maybe she should just
: let it go.

: 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. So is Jane.
: Neither were ever removed from contract.
:
: Nancy and Finola are both older than Genie.
: Still on contract.
:
: Maurice is only 10 months younger than GH.
: He's the highest paid actor at the show.
:
: Genie was removed because of HER, not
: because of age or all this add talk. Tony
: would never, ever have been treated like
: this.
:
: Genie needs to hold out for a contract or
: tell Frank to screw himself.
