: The problem I would see with Genie returning
: to either Days OR Y&R is that Genie wasn't
: on either show for much time to speak of.
: Regarding Days, that was Genie's choice as
: she didn't renew her two year contract with
: them. And I don't remember, but I think her
: time on Y&R was what, maybe nine months? I
: just wouldn't see the clamor for either show
: to bring her back. Although I do get that
: she is the rare soap star whose fans do
: follow her.
:
: The whole thing is disappointing though. It
: does seem like ABC is just going to let the
: entire storm blow over and the blowback has
: really dissipated it seems.

: I remember reading that she didn't enjoy her
: time there. I was a Days watcher back then,
: and I did think she was underused there too
: from what I remember although she was paired
: with Roman Brady played by Drake H. at the
: time, a major contract player. I just read a
: run down on Facebook that CurlyQ wrote about
: Genie's history with GH. I don't want to
: post it here, but maybe if she visits this
: site, she will share it. It is quite sad
: and mind-blowing to read about all the drama
: she has been through on and for this show.
: I am not trying to portray her as a victim
: as I'm sure the details are more than I
: know. It just seems though that she was
: manipulated when she was teenager and had
: the drug issue and told the show was about
: Tony's Luke. Then, she had the equity
: issues regarding contract even after she was
: fired by ABC from AMC and a character she
: loved playing to revise Laura. Then, she
: wanted for so long to get a contact and when
: she finally got one and was given story
: finally which was gaining steam, she was
: dropped to recurring. It baffles my mind.
:
: Here's what I think: the suits there would
: rather focus on Jason, Sam and others and
: therefore are cutting Genie to have the
: money for them and to keep from having to
: find a place to use her. Furthermore, they
: apparently do not care at all what their
: actual audience wants to see. Instead, they
: would rather make up a show to match the
: demographic they and the advertisers
: supposedly would rather have. It is just a
: shame. CurlyQ also said when she tuned into
: Days recently, that several vets were being
: used and that even Tyler's character
: although new is the son of Victor and
: Vivian. Here are the GH characters that I
: would dispose of: All things Jerome
: including Ava, Julian and Kikki. I would
: also lose Fin. Although these are fine
: actors, there relevance to GH though the
: years is minimal at best and in most cases
: mob oriented.
:
: I'm sure since there have been changes at
: Day's several times since Genie was there.
: They seem to be embracing their vets more.
: Maybe she would return if they would flush
: Diana Coleville out more. I think she felt
: like folks there never developed the
: character beyond the surface. I would be
: happy to watch Genie anywhere that she
: lands. It just saddens me that her
: "home" show doesn't appreciate
: her immense talent and the indisputable fact
: that those very suits would not have the
: jobs they have today if it wasn't for
: Genie's contribution to GH which put soaps
: on the map decades ago and helped save the
: show from cancellation more recently.

: If GH has no use to Genie, I wish Ron C
: would
: have DOOL bring her back as Diana C. I am
: tired of Genie always getting stepchild
: treatment at GH. Thru the decades she has
: always been jerked around but Genie loves GH
: so much, she goes back. Her husband is a big
: director now and she doesn't even have to
: work. I think Nutrisystem pays her to be a
: spokesperson so it's not like she needs the
: money. She loves playing Laura but
: sometimes you just have to close the door.
