: The Nik story was coming to a climax and they
: wanted Genie. GH decided that Kevin would be
: a good option for her. Were they wrong? In
: one way, yes (he wasn't a contract player)
: but in so many ways he was a good fit (to
: help her thru Nik's death/Spencer) - and
: what a surprise for this Laura fan. (can you
: give me that, at least!)
:
: Did I want to see Genie tested with a few
: guys. No! Laura needed to be focused on
: Spencer, Valentin, Charlotte and Lulu. Her
: chasing "romance" (IMO) wasn't
: ideal at that point. It would have made her
: look shallow and selfish.
:
: So...you say becasue her character and
: romance was not really accessible or at an
: optimal peak to another romance...she became
: useless to GH.
:
: You know what....then they don't deserve
: her.
:
: Finally, she was given a story WITH LEGS!
: Most GF fans were really stoked at this new
: story for Laura. And - if FV had a clue he
: would realize that many women would have
: preferred that story rather than watching
: her chase another "dream" man.
:
: Your point only underscores how wrong FV is
: for this business. He doesn't
: "get" women. He's in the wrong
: genre.
:
:
: Anyone interested, should write FV and tell
: him that! LOL

:
: I personally don't think that's the reason
: she was dropped from contract. But you can't
: really stop others from having theories.
:
: The rest of my post addresses reality. How
: viable a major character is seen on the
: romance/sex front absolutely, 100% affects
: how they're written.
:
: ALL front burner characters on GH are
: considered romantically viable. If they
: aren't? They aren't front burner.
:
: Kevlaur was a pleasant romance. But like
: Tony and Genie have both said, "happily
: ever after" is the death knell for
: story. "Nice" romances don't get
: much screen time.
:
: It would absolutely have benefited Laura if
: the writers, and producers, saw her as an
: option for the leading men on the show.
:
: Not sure how anyone can say otherwise.
