Sad, these women have bought into the male concept of romance in order to stay relevant.
They are as much the problem as the men. They encouraged this type of product and then cry foul.
I was drawn to Genie all those years ago for the specific reason that she was vulnerable, compassionate, loving...and could play a love scene with class and sensuality. And she kept her self-respect and feminity. I watched as much for her as Tony. They don't want women to watch for women, they want the men to have all the power, to be the draw. That is not why I watched..
I stopped watching when the shows became a parody of love, family and romance. Add that to the demeaning female characters, and I was done.

: I agree! Genie has always had a sensuality
: that made her love scenes compelling to
: watch.

: I don’t see that with NLG, MW or even the
: very
: young actresses on the show now.

: There is very little romance on GH period.

: embarrassment watching MW and NLG in those

: way too hard to be sexy and instead it
: reeked of desperation. They became the
: cliche: older woman trying to be young by
: acting overly sexualized.

: Made me laugh and tell myself never to act

: Maura West is a femme fatale. They paired
: her
: with Morgan who was her daughter's
: boyfriend, She had sex with Sonny on AJ's
: crypt, she slept with Silas before he became
: Finn, She killed Connie in cold blood,cut
: Nina's baby out of the womb and that's a lot
: for one character. She broke out of prison
: with Sonny and Julien, survived a gunshot
: off a bridge and also survived cancer. Think
: of this..Finola is 57 and they have paired
: her in a hot romance with Michael
: Easton/Finn who is 48. NLG is 59 and they
: have her paired with William DeVry who is
: 49. So these older actresses are paired
: with men approx 10 years their junior. FV
: sees when as viable love interests. Genie
: NOT.

: I don't understand the appeal of the
: character
: either. I'm not sure why she was brought on,
: but Maura West is a powerhouse actress. I
: remember thinking: oh no, with Maura West on
: the show, Genie will never get her due.
:
: I don't know if the idea was that MW would
: bring ATWT fans with her to GH. Whatever it
: is, FV must think the world of her bc she
: keeps getting meaty stories.
:
: It boggles the mind why all of this fanfare
: for MW, when GF is RIGHT THERE.

: I don't watch and I don't understand the
: appeal of Ava. I saw her when she first
: appeared, I figured she was a bad ass mob
: lady. Did Frank bring her on to be an
: equally matched rival for Sonny?
