GH: Genie Francis on her GH status


Recommended Posts

I never really minded Henry. He at least entertained me. I preferred him when he wasn't up Katie's colon, as she had enough men chasing after her whiny, self-righteous prom queen ass. 

 

I skipped most of Janet's scenes in the last year so she didn't bother me that much. Then again I didn't really enjoy most of ATWT past 1995 so I didn't have any real expectation.

I wondered that too but I left it alone. I just thought Henry was always a waste, who should've left back in 01/02--whenever the Endicott award arc ended. Barbara needed a strong, stalwart man by her side. Not a limp noodle like Henry.

 

Like Lisa, I wish that they would've cast a new man for Babs. Randolph Mantooth (despite him playing Hal for awhile), James Kiberd (despite him playing Hal for a sec too), Larkin Malloy, Danny Parlato, etc. All of strong actors in CZ's age range could've played a suitable new mate for Babs.

Larkin Malloy was not all that strong and stalwart by the time he popped up on ATWT in that era. 

 

To me Barbara was never really about the man and more about her own complex personality. I actually only liked her with one man in her whole run on the show. She had a lot of bad pairings. With that said, I was mostly just glad she had something to do that wasn't about her hammy shitstain of a son, and I didn't mind Henry, so it was OK with me. I did hate what they did with Vienna.

 

Sorry - this has gone way off topic. I guess it sort of sums up my interest in Laura, to be honest. I will stop now.

I didnt mind any of Barbara's pairing minus Henry. And yes they totally ruined the Vienna character…I think she was one of a few that I actually liked that was new to the canvas. She was much more appealing than that awful Juicy Janet.

 

And I was thinking the same thing…we have gotten way off topic…sorry Toups.:D

    • Yeah I saw it and it's still idiotic. I like the Pope, but it's not interrupt shows newsworthy
    • As someone who was watching OLTL at the time, Dano did excellent work, but the writing was weird. Dano even got Emmy nominated for what she did. However, it did feel that the writers did not know what to do with her, but to be fair, it did feel like a lot of that was that the character was a network mandate and the writers were making it up as they were going on. I didn't watch Dano's trek around all the soaps. That kind of thing would have worked better with an ABC performer not someone who had been off OLTL for decades. I can't imagine AW without Felicia Gallant. I really don't want to because she provided so much joy for me when there was so much disappointment on that show. The only time I thought her character didn't work was the John/Felicia storyline but it got Anna Holbrook an Emmy so I can't complain all that much. It's just another example of drama at the expense of character.
    • Bringing this over from the soccer/soaps ratings thread yesterday:  Errol said: "CBS put out a notice that it could preempt at a moment's notice as the Pope selection continues, dependent on how long it takes, of course." New pope just chosen, name to be announced soon. Yeah CBS-NewYork channel 2 is airing Pope coverage instead of Y&R right now.
    • @brisbydog - I like that you have a signature font, très chic Abe and Paulina's new apartment was the first thing I noticed.  I don't understand why people over a certain age in Salem automatically move into a condo? When it seems just as simple to make the set seem like a detached home.  But, I will give points to attention to detail of choosing colors that compliment the Black actors in the scene. Which then led to the second thing I noticed.  Why would EJ want Kayla's office, when his is 3xs the size?  Also, even if he buys the hospital, won't Kayla get to keep her office? Lastly, can we at least give Cat the agency to decide on her own with whom she wishes to date?  Do men actually need to negotiate on her behalf?  She's stunning.  My advice would be if Chad is friend-zoning her after a year together, move on to his richer brother.
    • OH!!! I love it. I can't believe I missed that. In one of the 2 fan events held the 2 years after the sorry end of our lovely show, both  Anna Stuart & Stephen Schnetzer attended & I got to talk to each of them. Obviously I was in heaven. Although at least I didn't do my shy star struck thing.
    • We probably won't get any of our CBS soaps today cause of the Pope stuff, cause you know they have to air it on regular network despite having 24/7 news channels

    • I still don't know when/how did Iris find out about Evan's connection to Janice?
    • lol Cass and Donna went on a bowling date!
    • As well as insulting our host, being rude to some of the nicest members who correct you, and having an inflated sense of duty. While others may be able to add numerous offenses, the egocentrism to force any conversation off-topic to focus on you is the most egregious act for me.  This is light entertainment, an interactive discussion, not the shallotpeel-hour.
    • Yes, that is why. I mean, not last minute but it was not what Shapiro originally wanted. First, she tried to buy the show. Then she tried to buy the character. Meanwhile several other companies also tried to buy the show.
