I just listened to the portion of the podcast dealing with.
Host: A lot of people are wondering what in the heck is going on with Genie Francis. Did we lose Genie Francis? Is she ever coming back? What's gonna happen to Kevin and Laura?
Varni: Hopefully we have not lost Genie Francis. I know there's been a lot of chatter online and all kinds of different opinions. Um she is technically on recurring status, as everyone knows. What we want is a prolific, big story for Laura that deserves the many talents of Genie Francis. So our writers are thinking and working on that as we speak. And it's my intention that I hope we continue to have a relationship, as Genie is, you know, obviously a very important part of General Hospital and the General Hospital family. But, you know, we want to be able to service the talents of Genie and we don't want to, you know, just have any tiny little story where she blends in the background. We want a Laura centric story. So we are continuing to work on that and discuss that and hopefully that will be onscreen sooner than later. So we'll see.
