I got the exact opposite impression from the articles I have read so far about Genie returning/not returning to GH! She said what she needed to say and she was exactly right, playing the victim isn't something she wants to do anymore and since the writers can't be bothered to write her any other way she has every right to say that! And if I remember correctly the audience clapped when GF went on Oprah and said that, and so did I. She is 'Laura' of L&L fame, she can burn all the bridges she wants they will always be built back up for her. I am NOT a Laura fan, don't get me wrong, but for her to come back to the show could only be a good thing for Lacy fans, conflit means the characters are still worthy of viable stories, it's being backburned and 'happy' that kills.

Happy Birthday Tracy!!!! :)

It is a shame that she won't be on again until next week, nor is it likely that it will even be mentioned by the other characters because of the Jake story and the fact that Brenda's was celebrated just the other day.

I love the episode from back in 2006 when Luke throws her a birthday party in the Q mansion. Is that the last time it has been celebrated on the show? I know it was mentioned in the New Year's episode a few years ago when they spun the roulette wheel when Luke was trying to win her back.

I think in 2007 they mentioned her birthday. It was unspoiled so we were all like WTF when the episode opened with luke clinking glasses with her saying "Happy Birthday tracy" and them on the Q couch in that hideous blue outfit she is wearing in TracyQ banner! Then Luke kissed her hand and arm and then they laid down on the couch until scotty walked in and ruined the moment!

Oh, I love watching clips on YouTube from 2007. My favorites are when Luke is going on the run with a catatonic Laura and he says to Tracy, "I'll always come back to you," and then kisses her. :wub: The B&W Ball when he kisses her and tells her he is going to make sure she stays alive. After she hurts her back, he tells her how she has helped him move on from Laura. Their argument in the Q mansion when Tracy tells him it is time to let go of Laura; All of the stuff with Alan's ghost. Tracy being arrested for kidnapping and Lulu bailing her out. When Luke returns in the fall to give her a massage. So sexy. :wub: I could go on and on. Hooked, I remember watching a clip of Ghost Alan interrupting their attempt to make love on the Q couch as well as Scott. It was a cruel joke that TPTB would ruin such promising scenes for LuNacy fans.

I can't comment on the GF articles or the Oprah appearance since I don't have enough interest in her to read them or watch any clips. I think Remos, like me, is tired of the fact that for the past X years, it seems like every other week there was an article with quotes from Genie about "they don't want me back." A lot of times, it came across as whiny and entitled, and I don't care who you are-that becomes annoying. If I ever had a hint that Jane Elliot was like that, my love affair with her might end quickly.

As a former journalism student, I know that often, the staff of papers and mags brainstorm for ideas for their issues. I just can't see any magazine or paper worth it's salt, being the ones to contact Genie every other week asking if she'd been contacted yet, and using up space just to report that she hadn't been asked back. That's not newsworthy. Her being asked back would be, her being on Y&R would be. But the CONSTANT (or what seemed like constant)comments, week after week, in one mag or the next, I can't help but think that some of that was Genie's doing. I do believe at least SOME of the quips or blurbs about Genie in the mags in the past few years have been instigated by her camp, not by GH, and not by the mags themselves.

I get that she wants to work, but I've said a hundred times and I'll say again-GH doesn't "owe" her anything. I believe she has been well compensated for the years she worked there. No, she wasn't respected a lot of the time. But a lot of people weren't and aren't.....and yet, they don't waste space publically griping about it. I think that's what Remos means about class, and I 100% agree. Yes Genie, we know you were disrespected, and even though I think she's at best an average actress who is only known today because she lucked out with a wildly popular pairing, her treatment sucked.

But, it's called getting over it. She's still bitter....and that's sad. She's only damaging herself by not shaking the dust off her feet and moving on. I think GH is done building a bridge for her. I've read enough negative things about GF behind the scenes to not dismiss all of it as rumor. I believe the hatefulness and bad blood is on BOTH sides, and GH has some good reasons for not wanting her back. I've read enough about JFP to know she ain't no lightweight either. I think Genie portrays this innocence when talking to the press, because she ALWAYS says "I don't know why they don't want me back." I think she DOES know. I think she's been told, and for whatever reasons, she chooses not to tell.

I'm just glad she's on another soap now. Perhaps she'll expend her energy talking about her new character and new co stars and show, and stop beating a dead horse.

ILTQ I agree with the whole GF behind the scenes. I've never had a problem with her as an actress. Her character never really bothered me but there MUST be a reason why gh refuses to give her a contract role on the show other than them not wanting her. She was the half of a very popular couple and lnlers/laura fans seem to think that the only reason why they don't like her or something is because they just don't like her. I think it's more behind the scenes and something she has done that makes gh not want to hire her back full time, only in small doses. There definately is something more, jmo.

      B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

      By BoldKara · Posted

      Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that

      Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

      ALL: Drag/Crossdressing Disguises in Soap Operas?

      By EricMontreal22 · Posted

      Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      Please register in order to view this content

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene 

      Please register in order to view this content

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?

      ALL: General Retro Soap Discussion

      But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      You know one of the soap outlets posed that question just last week: Who do you want Trina with Spencer or Kai? And, of course, the picture of Spencer was NAC. I said, well, a lot. I chose Kai. I said that Spencer had been an entitled brat & that some people valued him over her, when I valued her above all others. I guess we'll see.

      You're right. The only thing I can think of is if GH finally decides to bring back Spencer.
