: Well, then it is probably a dead end for Genie
: too because I don't think any other pairing
: will work for Laura or Genie. Laura belongs
: to Luke...not necessarily to TG...and visa
: versa. I don't know that much about
: chemistry and how it works or doesn't for
: the actors, but roles can be played by other
: players. It might not be the same, but it
: could come close. The story is VERY
: important, IMO. The history is also
: critical. Character integrity is important.
: The actors also are important. I don't
: think they can eliminate any of the equation
: and be successful. They need a rich story,
: based in history, that keeps the integrity
: of the characters and is told by talented
: people. They have Genie. They are only
: missing the one element of the partner for
: her. I don't think they should leave that
: story hanging, the characters in limbo, the
: integrity of the characters in disarray, all
: because Tony has decided to retire. The
: audience has invested too much and deserves
: better. This is coming from a HUGE TG fan.

: There are a couple of strong actors I could
: envision as Luke, but honestly what's the
: point? Genie will never recapture what she
: had with Tony with another actor. There
: would be no point in attempting to do L&L,
: so they would likely just end up as friendly
: exes anyway.

: And I have a hard time imagining Genie being
: comfortable playing L&L against a new actor.
