: I haven't seen her in months. What kind of
: weight gain are you talking about here?
: Honestly, I think there is too much pressure
: on women to conform to a youthful shape that
: just is not possible for middle age for a
: lot of people. Of course, in times of
: budget issues, you wouldn't want your talent
: to require a new wardrobe. However, some of
: the men have also had weight issues, and I
: don't hear complaints about them. It's a
: double standard for sure, and it is a
: turn-off for me. Besides, I think some of
: the wardrobe choices are totally ridiculous
: on GH. People walk around in sleeveless
: tight, short dresses in a town that is
: supposed to be in upstate NY in the winter.
: It is not authentic. Too much cleavage is
: showing. Just who is that for? When Gloria
: was dressing her cast, they wore sweaters
: and skirts and coats and boots in the
: winter. When spring came, everyone except
: the quartermaines dressed down with
: appropriate clothing for waterfront
: lives...sneakers, chinos, cotton shirts.
:
: GH needs an overhaul, J. They have some very
: good talent, but they can't seem to do it
: right. That coordination comes from the
: top. FV needs to go. The first thing a new
: EP should do is trim the cast, get rid of
: the ones who don't deliver, and bring back
: GF.

: For the reasons I listed in a post below, I
: don't think this demotion is about Genie's
: weight/looks.
:
: But everyone doesn't feel that way. And this
: is a looks/appearance based business, and
: that factually has been an issue that Genie
: has been very open about herself, and one
: that has factored into how Laura is
: portrayed/presented on the show.
:
: I get that it's a sensitive topic for some,
: but why try and ignore something that not
: even Genie ignores? I mean she's the
: spokeswoman for a weight loss company.
