Genie is writing the role as written. No more, no less. That property in Maine don't come cheap!

And while she isn't Cate Blanchett by any stretch, I am stunned that everybody is criticizing while Daniel Goddard eclipses everybody in terms of unconvincing, mediocre, laughably bad "acting."

On the other end of the spectrum from DG: Tristan Rogers. He has this scene with Jess Walton in today's US episode, and Jill is kissing Colin and -- I just cannot buy that Colin secretly feels nothing for Jill! Maybe this is "bad" acting on his part, but both actors seem to love having material together and Colin seems totally into Jill, especially when he wraps his arm around her at the end of the scene and kisses her back.

Hahahha, I don't think anyone is saying Goddard is good... just that Genie tries too hard and she comes off as weird to me. But maybe that is because I've never seen her in any role before and this is how I see her. Meanwhile, Goddard is in a whole new level of bad.

1. We've been assured this role was tailor made for her. While it may be exactly what is written and what Y&RIIC want---I generally hate these over-the-top "stone cold bitch Mommy" roles. What's the difference between Phyllis-as-Sheila, Lauren-as-Sarah, Daisy, crazyJana, Patty or Phyllis and Genievive? None, that I can see. They're exactly the same tone, purpose and lines.

2. Goddard's suckitude is already well-documented.

Great episodes Friday/Today.

Genie is rocking it IMO. But that kiss was nurrrrsty! Only because of how bloody and bruised Robert's face was.

You know I have time now to watch it over the summer but dont. I haven't missed Y&R. How sad is that. Once ATWT left the airwaves and MAB took complete control of Y&R and burned it to the ground ....I stopped caring.

Genevieve looked like a mama bird feeding regurgitated food to her baby bird.

Jess Walton was SUPERLATIVE yesterday. I have always liked her but she was top-notch on Friday and Monday. She owned the show from beginning to end. OWNED it.

THIS is Jill -- shades of the old 1970s innocent Jill, too. Not the wicked witch harpy that TIIC seem to think is so hilarious.

Jess Walton is the only good thing about this storyline. She is AWESOME.

Genie Francis is a terrible actress. Genevieve is written all wrong. Joan Collins, were she age appropriate, would have done a lot more with the character, Genie's not even trying to play her straight, it's totally over the top, eyes and nostrils flaring. Truly odd and unfortunate to watch.

I'll be catching up, soon (not too excited about it). In the meantime, it's really fun reading the different spellings for Genevieve. :D

seen her all of one minute and I already cant stand Genie Francis' character. I hope Jill kicks her azz

I think that Jill and Katherine are two main characters that 'jumped the shark' a long long time ago. JW's Jill is very far from the glamourous sexy 'new rich' vicious vixen that Brenda Dickson gave life to, she was remarkable in this role. JW's Jill is a never ending neurotic menopausal fast talking angry witch. I still can´t get used to JW's Jill and never will, but now Jill is really unbearable with all the lousy silly writing going around, add Katherine to the mix and it is a FastF moment all the way.

Huh.....I always thought Brenda Dickson was trailer park trashy.

Isn't it ALWAYS time for Victor's revenge? Doesn't the show realize how dull this is now, and how Victor declaring revenge for no apparent reason, right after the Abbotts gave Victor Colleen's heart, pretty much made these stories heinous?
