Both Tony and Genie have been vocal in the past about being strongly against a Lucky recast.
Genie also commented in an interview specifically about not liking Jacob in the role (long after he was off the show). She caught some flack on the message boards for it.
Tony has also said that his relationship with Genie was like a marriage, with its ups and downs.
One thing about the story is off though. Jacob neither had pages of monologues when he started on GH nor did he work with Tony and Genie. He only worked with Constance Towers when he started, and Lucky wasn’t saying much. And even when he started working with Tony and Genie Lucky wasn’t talking to them. So either he’s confused about the timing or a lot got cut.

If you can't click the video, its Jacob Young talking about his first day on set as the (first) Lucky recast. Tony and Genie got into a big argument on set because she didn't want to work with him, ending
with Genie storming off the set. Hadn't heard that story before!!!
