no she's not a Y&R vet, but she is a soap vet. I have no doubt they'll get rid of Y&R vets if it is for "budget reasons"

And so? They've also recast a few younger cast members. This show is overblown with named soap stars that haven't helped the show out and stick out like a sore thumb. Genie has been horrible since she started. Being a soap vet doesn't justify keeping them if they haven't helped the show at all and she hasn't.

They've been trying to get rid of vets for years - I guess they will keep on trying, but firing Francis and hopefully Nichols will go a way to closing a budget hole. I hope they won't get rid of Debbi or Darnell but I admit that's more based on my feelings about the actors than their Y&R work. Harmony has been such a horribly conceived character.

So what if she's a soap vet, she's not a Y&R vet and she sucked on Y&R. PB is one of her friends so he's not gonig anywhere. And Jess Walton confirmed that Jill called her up to try and get her to return.

call her up, doesn't mean a whole heck of alot.

I agree with you, I think Genie has been awful on Y&R too much scenery chewing.

At least they are communicating back and forth trying to work out a deal. MAB already wrote Jess offscreen with no future appearence in sight so she really don't have to.

Call me gullible but I honestly don't think Genie was fired because of a history with JFP. I think she was gone as soon as MAB was gone. I think the only reason she stayed this long was because of MAB's refusal to admit mistakes. Genevieve was a flop from the start.

Same.

Either way, though, firing GF is a step in the right direction.

Although i say good riddence since this was a terrible character i agree it's just sad that the same person has let her go twice now.

I love how people put faith in that Jess Walton will like magically be back. I doubt she will and if she by some chance returned full time, she wouldn't get a storyline.

I agree, it's pretty sucky the same person has fired her twice

I don't expect Jess to be back, but a phone call from JFP isn't something which she would do lightly. She at least had a basic level of respect. Jess was technically off the show and JFP could have just shrugged.

MAB could have called her only to ask if her refrigerator was running.

Goodbye Gen.......hello Laura!

This was to be expected.

Even though JFP claimed otherwise in that TVGuide interview... LOL

Long overdue! Next: Daniel Goddard, pls! And Stephen Nicholls can go buh-bye as well. And some of the AMC rejects as well. All these actors have brought zero to Y&R.

This, please. There's a good dozen people that need to be written off, pronto!

I was perfectly happy with Cane's death until he was written back to life!

And I don't recall JFP technically saying she wouldn't fire GF she kind of had a non answer though I hope by now her MAB characters hit list has been written.

I don't know entirely the history of Phelps and Francis(sounds similar to Phelps and McKinsey) but this is a direction in the right step. Genevivie was a total failure and a slap in the face to both MTS and Walton's characters. The whole concept of her being the mega bitch from hell failed epicly, as did her being the troubled leading lady. Not to mention Francis' acting was off and didn't share much chemistry with whom she was paired with on top of the horrible writing. I have much respect for her contributions to the genre as being famous for Laura, I'm just sorry it didn't work out on Y&R.

Francis is only capable of playing one character, the type of character she hates. I have never "gotten" her and likely never will.
