So, there must be some reason that she is expendable in their eyes. Laura perhaps doesn't fit into the picture that they are painting. Or maybe they just don't want to work with her for some reason that we don't know. Personally, I have always said that it is a question of money. Genie is expensive, and I think that they don't feel that she is worth it when they are figuring out the budget. Maybe she would be better off to counter-offer a contract for a reduction in salary. Maybe that would do the trick.

: It's true that Kristina and Lucy/Lyn are
: svelte and sexy and still no contract but
: these two actresses are NOT icons and they
: haven't had a contract in almost a decade.
: Genie is or was on contract and started out
: this time as a HOTT mama when she paraded
: into Luke and Tracy's engagement party. She
: was a force to be reckoned with, a jaw
: dropping sexy blonde woman in black leather
: and HIGH heels. That woman slowly
: disappeared and a matronly bigger woman
: wearing what appeared to be Tracy Q's old
: brocade jackets was now the Laura we saw on
: screen. I'm Genie's fan to the max but I see
: her as I think the higher ups do. They
: married Laura to Kevin in an sweet ceremony.
: I though it was loving and much better than
: Laura and Scotty's weird ceremony this last
: go round. I think they let her have that
: ceremony but they knew she was NOT going to
: be around long. The story the writers had
: going on for her Mayoral run were notified
: to pull the plug on that story and lower
: the boom and send her to France AGAIN.
: Writers have to send Laura out of the
: country because she AINT coming back for
: years but the audience didn't really know
: what was going on. Poor Genie..I can only
: imagine having that bombshell dropped on you
: right when you think you are finally getting
: a story that mattered. I think back to that
: popular show "Designing Women"
: when Delta Burke was shelved because she was
: written to be the sexy Southern minx and
: then she put on about 30 pounds. Even
: though she was almost the main character on
: the show, she was written out over weight
: issues and replaced. She was still gorgeous
: but she was also out of a job. Genie is
: gorgeous but as she is written and appears
: now, they don't see her as sexy and neither
: does the audience. They just love Genie
: because she is Laura. She is a comfortable
: character for them. Lots of viewers of GH
: were not even born when Luke and Laura were
: the Hott number one sexy exciting couple on
: GH. TPTB don't care that Genie and Tony
: saved GH from cancellation. That was 40
: years ago. They are shooting for the young,
: sexy crowd now. It's sad but true and Jane
: I think said it all in her interview. They
: don't care that us old viewers still watch
: ..we are old and set in our ways they think
: and not open to new products.

: Kristina Wagner and Lynn Herring both have
: lean, athletic bodies, and GH wardrobe puts
: them in sexy, fitted clothing.
:
: And still we've barely seen Lucy and Felicia
: over the last several years, and neither has
: been on contract in well over a decade.
:
: When Genie was over at Y&R they wrote
: Genevieve as a sexy woman, and Genie was
: heavier on that show than she is on GH now.
:
:
: Also remember when Genie got really small
: back in 2008? She was about the same size as
: she was in her younger days. ABC still
: didn't offer her a contract, and they still
: wrote Luke wanting to be with Tracy.
:
: There's a lot more going on here with Genie
: than them seeing Laura as not sexy.
