I also don't buy that Laura Wright was unaware that Genie was no longer there, but her tweet was less offensive than I thought. Come on. She doesn't know that Genie Francis was sent down to recurring? That would have spread like wildfire through the cast. And do recurring characters get to have dressing rooms? That is mysterious. Does Jackie Zeman still have a room there, or is there some type of room for those who come and go? Sue and I saw the set-up there. I can't imagine them sustaining dressing rooms for Monica, Bobbie, and the many others that they use once in a while. The whole studio is just not big enough. Maybe they have not made a final decision about Genie's position yet. However, I certainly don't believe that Laura Wright is unaware of her "problem." By now, the whole internet is screaming about it, and it must have been plenty upsetting to cast members who saw it happen and became aware of script changes, etc. Think about it, someone in your office (a long time employee) gets demoted and is in tears. How long would it take for the entire office to hear about it?

: On reading it, it doesn't seem to be a snide
: remark. LW was just commenting that she
: passed her dressing room with Genie's name
: still on the door with her stuff in it and
: she didn't know she was gone. Of course she
: knows now. Facts be known, we still don't
: know what really happened. Since Genie
: wasn't fired, of course her name was on the
: door still and her stuff still in it. There
: is more to the story than we know and I
: think Genie will return to GH, maybe on
: contract, maybe not but that is better than
: when we went for almost an entire decade
: with no Genie at all. I feel there is more
: to the story and FV may NOT be totally to
: blame for Genie's reduction to recurring but
: he is the frontline guy so naturally he gets
: all the blame and heat for her treatment. I
: choose to wait and see if when all this is
: resolved we might find out what really
: happened other than throwing blame when we
: don't know what really went down. Her lunch
: with FV may have answered her questions and
: prompted her to tweet her defense of FV.
: She didn't have to do that. I hope she will
: be a part of the 55th year episode. I can't
: imagine them showing it without her being a
: part of it.

: Genie is playing the business game. This is

: on GH, and Frank is the EP. She's not a
