Members soapfan770 Posted June 16, 2011 Members Share Posted June 16, 2011 Jack and Genevieve? Um no, especially if its a recycle of Mari Jo or Mary Jane/Patty. That Victor's Revenge cover is a joke, its too bad no one drugged him and gave him a stroke for real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P.J. Posted June 17, 2011 Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 *snort* When are TIIC going to learn, you can never backtrack and let a psychotic out into society and expect anyone to see them as "normal". I love Maura...but I hate sitting through this crap. Seeing Diane become more and more marginalized hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted June 17, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 I SO agree. It's kind of ironic that for once, you can't blame the writing. I mean yeah, the writing is bad, but Genie is all kinds of over the top and ridiculous in the part. You're right about Joan because she would underplay a role like this, which is exactly what it needs. Genie's running around like a hot mess- I'm waiting for her to start casting spells and shriek about houses falling on her. It's a performance you would see in Alice in Wonderland or Snow White....well, community theater productions of them anyway. She sticks out like a sore thumb on Y&R and not at all in a good way. Depressing to think that the subtle, multi-layered Maura is departing while the shrieking caricature that Genie is playing probably ain't goin anywhere. Ugh!

Members P.J. Posted June 17, 2011 Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 Bad role, bad actress. Genivieve actually makes Phyllis look sane. Maybe that's TIIC's strategy. But somehow I doubt it. I can't see Genie lasting more than six months. Not tied to the albatross that is Cane. I don't see GF being happy she's trotted out twice a month either. Tristan Rogers can't have averaged much more than that. But I will say Genie speaks French beautifully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted June 17, 2011 Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 The role is just not for her. She's no bad actress but very one note. She has always reminded of Adrienne Frantz: actress with charisma perfect for the role she grew up to be famous for but apart from she's lacking versatility. That campy bad assing is just not fit for Genie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted June 17, 2011 Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 I think she was fine in her scenes with Jack. If they take her out of pure crazy mode and let her be more quietly diabolical things will get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted June 17, 2011 Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 Does Genoa City have a named sanitarium, or is it just some generic place? I know all the ABC soaps have one (GH has 3!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted June 17, 2011 Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 Um, fellow Maura fans may not want to watch today's (US) episode if they don't want to see Grambo hurl Diane's body double out of the ambulance. Other than that, the baby case gets wrapped up today. All I can say is, Phyllis is a serioulsy unhinged, evil sociopath who loves stealing other people's toys. I cannot BELIEVE Y&R are writing their model employee this way. And I do not understand, after Phyllis instructs Leslie to go after Daniel like a rottweiler, why the useless Rafe doesn't bring up her crazy-ass/stalker/loonybin/jail past in retaliation.

Members Antoyne Posted June 17, 2011 Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 Wait, so it's not a fantasy of the Old Man throwing a woman out of an ambulance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted June 17, 2011 Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 Nope. And there's a scene afterwards where Diane walks into her GCAC hotel room with a limp and holding her bruised jaw. Like a battered wife or something. I'm sure TIIC thought that looked hilarious but Maura played it like it really hurt. Then Prickolas walked in and told her how much he hated her and was over her etc etc blah blah. Run to Primetime, Maura! You are a trooper but you deserve so much better than this ish.
