: The ad folks need to be fired then. I tracked
: who is advertising during the show and
: another gal did the west coast. It's
: essentially the same people. Canada is a
: little different, we should have the names
: soon. The ads are for heart meds, inhalers,
: colon health, cholesterol, bladder control,
: clorox, detergent, pampers, Huggies
: (diapers) Diabetes, Hersey candy (york
: peppermint East and kit kat in CA).
: Triskets, and South Beach diet. Does that
: sound like the YOUTH? What story lines are
: the youth interested in that they are
: telling? The show comes on at 2pm on East
: coast. Everyone is in School or Work. unless
: you are a stay at home mom or Retired.
: College girls ..don't watch like they did in
: the 70 & 80's.

: 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.
