Genie was given a return story and then it was dropped. (the mystery)
Genie was given a romance with a non-contract player. Most of their relationship was off-camera.
Genie would be in the day's synopsis but her scenes would be cut. She wouldn't appear.
Genie/Laura was rarely mentioned in the spoilers. Her storyline was that irrelevant.
The only time Frank took a real interest in GF/Laura is when Spencer was back on canvas.
Spencer left and her screentime became erratic and random.
She was never given a set, an office, a residence.

Why was she expendable to GH? Her salary and their lack of interest (tptb) might have sealed their decision. Drop Genie.
If Laura's children or husband were of major interest to tptb, or if she had a career like Alexis (resident atty) then it may have been harder to drop her. All of that played into, IMHO.
Too many mixed messages and none of us are going to the "skinny" on it, not even from Genie.
Why does she want to stay at GH? Really, why? As far as Frank's part in this....its obvious. Bigger canvas, new actors, the expensive vet was the sacrifice. The EP as the power to fight for an actor, a storyline, his budget, etc. It begins an ends with him. jmo
