Members glfaninnyc Posted January 21, 2018 Members Share Posted January 21, 2018 February sweeps starts at the end of next week i believe. I think we should all #boycottGH until Genie is reinstated. Ratings will plummet and Frank will get his ass canned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members titan1978 Posted January 21, 2018 Members Share Posted January 21, 2018 It’s all rumors, but to read that the writers had the story ready to go too, and he still let her go and scrapped her story, that is all Frank trying to save his budget or get money to hire another one of his pets. Its time for him to go. It’s been time, but now it’s really time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaytimeFan Posted January 22, 2018 Members Share Posted January 22, 2018 If I recall, Genie's contract was a three year deal that would have expired December 2018 - so her contract was terminated a year early. This whole thing seems ill advised and ill timed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted January 22, 2018 Members Share Posted January 22, 2018 Of all the performers recently on the canvas, no one deserves to be on GH more than Genie Francis. With her longevity, history, and popularity, she represents the show's heart. There is almost nothing remaining on this series of its roots; almost nothing that makes GH...GH. TPTB continue to decimate the remaining soaps, alienating viewers more and more. Looking at the current cast list, I would personally axe 80% of GH's cast. At this point, the real GH is dead. If its current incarnation were to be cancelled tomorrow, would anybody really, REALLY care? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 22, 2018 Members Share Posted January 22, 2018 It's his revenge for her demanding (and getting) a contract after he tried to stiff her in '13 and '15. Genie doesn't need the show and could walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dave_01 Posted January 22, 2018 Members Share Posted January 22, 2018 So another GH regime disrespects Genie Francis...disgusting. Sadly, I'm no longer shocked by it. Execs and writers have a long history of showing contempt for Genie as well as for so many other actors who helped make this show must-see at one time. While I'm sure Frank is concerned about his budget (not so much that he wasn't willing to do anything he could to get Steve Burton back last year), I also believe if Benard or Howarth started hinting that they were ready to leave, Frank would suddenly find the keys to Scrooge McDuck's money vault and offer them the moon. There are dozens of characters on this bloated canvas that can be dropped immediately and they'd be forgotten within days, if not minutes. Stop messing with the legends. I don't do twitter, but for once I almost wish I did so that I could join in the public trashing that Frank's probably receiving on his account. Not that it would accomplish anything, but it would be a moment of fun in response to this latest act of stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted January 22, 2018 Members Share Posted January 22, 2018 That's how he operates, according to history: He freezes people out and avoids open drama or fibs, then does what he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted January 22, 2018 Members Share Posted January 22, 2018 Yep. He needs to get what he has coming. I just can't believe him with that. Ugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 22, 2018 Members Share Posted January 22, 2018 I doubt he's going anywhere. He's cheap and efficient. But he may have to walk this back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
