Genie seems to have a very similar contract as TG. She has substantial time off, but relatively high guarantees across the months she does work.

She was in 79 episodes in 2024. To give context this is almost 20 episodes more than she had in 2021, when she was front burner in the Cyrus story. This is comparable to amount of shows she did in 1995. This is even more episodes than Tony had in his final year full year (2014), when he had the big Fluke story.

Most people don't realize that Genie has the best time off allowance on GH. So when they don't see Laura they assume GF is being backburned. She is not. Her guarantees don't reflect a token or sidelined character at all. Laura has appeared in about as many episodes as Willow, Accounting for her long vacation, Genie has one of the higher guarantees on this show.
