: The show could have been off to a great start
: with the story that brought Laura and Kevin
: together (the mystery of Helena's will that
: took them back to the disco etc.) And then
: they moved off in an entirely different
: direction. Personally, I think Frank has
: some sort of professional ADD which has been
: a major detriment to anything the show has
: tried to accomplish. He just can't seem to
: stick to anything be it a story line, a
: canvas of characters or anything in between.
: I'm sure that the budget being paramount is
: part of the issue but it isn't the entire
: issue by any means.
:
: And no matter how anyone - including Genie -
: has tried to take the edge off Frank, all I
: can remember is how in 2013-2014 he said in
: more than one interview that he "didn't
: see a place for Laura on the canvas."
: I tend to believe that he continues to hold
: that perspective, and expect than even if
: she comes back it won't be more successful
: that it was in 2016-2017. Without the
: departure of Frank Laura won't be allowed to
: be the character we all crave to see.

: ICAM..Genie needs a chance to shine on her
: own
: as Laura, she can makes other pairings works
: but she just needs excitement, Laura and
: Kevin are fine but they're a little dull,
: they needs more exciting interesting things
: going on, sadly, two goody, goody characters
: being together is boring on soap opera, I
: wants to see Laura's exciting side like she
: was during the last adventure with Luke,
: that's why I want her in a story with
: Robert, he can remind of her of the
: fun/adventure danger that she used to craved
: and that could be an issue for Kevin and
: that's create drama for them to keep it
: spicy. Laura doesn't need a recast Laura,
: Laura just needs to be written as exciting
: Laura. I will always be a LnL loverbut I've
: moved pass them now..I just want Laura to be
: a kick ass character even in her 50s.

: Luke was on this show for 13 years without
: his angel. Plenty of people desperately
: wanted Genie back, and to have L&L be a
: regular, anchor couple on GH, but to no
: avail. However that didn't stop me from
: supporting Tony's right to have a job, and a
: career, independent of what happened with
: Genie. He deserved story, and he deserved
: for his character to have romantic pairings,
: which help characters stay viable on a soap
: canvas. He more then earned it. And he
: earned the right to do it without having to
: be saddled with a wig-Laura, or even worse,
: an awkward attempt at some Laura recast. I
: doubt he would've supported that. He knew
: that Laura is Genie Francis.
:
: Genie deserves the exact same shot. She's
: earned it. Her place on this canvas should
: be set and secured, and supported,
: regardless of what Tony chooses to do.
:
: And Laura doesn't need Luke. There were
: plenty of Laura/Scotty and Laura/Stefan
: fans, and yes, Laura/Kevin have a following
: too. Genie had strong chemistry with plenty
: of other leading men on other shows/films
: besides General Hospital. If she's paired
: with someone who she has chem with, and the
: writing is right, she will soar. There's no
: reason at all to recast Luke for her.
