: It's true that Kristina and Lucy/Lyn are  
: svelte and sexy and still no contract but  
: these two actresses are NOT icons and they  
: haven't had a contract in almost a decade.  
: Genie is or was on contract and started out  
: this time as a HOTT mama when she paraded  
: into Luke and Tracy's engagement party. She  
: was a force to be reckoned with, a jaw  
: dropping sexy blonde woman in black leather  
: and HIGH heels. That woman slowly  
: disappeared and a matronly bigger woman  
: wearing what appeared to be Tracy Q's old  
: brocade jackets was now the Laura we saw on  
: screen. I'm Genie's fan to the max but I see  
: her as I think the higher ups do. They  
: married Laura to Kevin in an sweet ceremony.  
:  I though it was loving and much better than  
: Laura and Scotty's weird ceremony this last  
: go round. I think they let her have that  
: ceremony but they knew she was NOT going to  
: be around long. The story the writers had  
: going on for her Mayoral run were notified  
: to pull the plug on that story and  lower  
: the boom and send her to France AGAIN.   
: Writers have to send Laura out of the  
: country because she AINT coming back for  
: years but the audience didn't really know  
: what was going on. Poor Genie..I can only  
: imagine having that bombshell dropped on you  
: right when you think you are finally getting  
: a story that mattered. I think back to that  
: popular show "Designing Women"  
: when Delta Burke was shelved because she was  
: written to be the sexy Southern minx and  
: then she put on about 30 pounds.  Even  
: though she was almost the main character on  
: the show, she was written out over weight  
: issues and replaced.  She was still gorgeous  
: but she was also out of a job. Genie is  
: gorgeous but as she is written and appears  
: now, they don't see her as sexy and neither  
: does the audience. They just love Genie  
: because she is Laura.  She is a comfortable  
: character for them.  Lots of viewers of GH  
: were not even born when Luke and Laura were  
: the Hott number one sexy exciting couple on  
: GH. TPTB don't care that Genie and Tony  
: saved GH from cancellation.  That was 40  
: years ago.  They are shooting for the young,  
: sexy crowd now.  It's sad but true and Jane  
: I think said it all in her interview.  They  
: don't care that us old viewers still watch  
: ..we are old and set in our ways they think  
: and not open to new products.

:  
: Kristina Wagner and Lynn Herring both have  
: lean, athletic bodies, and GH wardrobe puts  
: them in sexy, fitted clothing.  
:  
: And still we've barely seen Lucy and Felicia  
: over the last several years, and neither has  
: been on contract in well over a decade.  
:  
: When Genie was over at Y&R they wrote  
: Genevieve as a sexy woman, and Genie was  
: heavier on that show than she is on GH now.  
:  
:  
: Also remember when Genie got really small  
: back in 2008? She was about the same size as  
: she was in her younger days. ABC still  
: didn't offer her a contract, and they still  
: wrote Luke wanting to be with Tracy.  
:  
: There's a lot more going on here with Genie  
: than them seeing Laura as not sexy.
