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.

Nail meet hammer. You got it in one. That's exactly what I mean. I think GF quite likes being associated with the "Angel" persona, but like ILTQ says, there's been enough spillage from behind the scenes that I think the "Angel" is a misnomer. It should be anyway - acting is a cut-throat business and they all have to be in it for #1. Admit it already and move on. GF likes to also glib over the fact that SHE left GH. But the show went on and now there is no need of her. A decade ago who knows, but this is not 2001.

Ok, I think, think, :) the clip is when Tracy and Paul are in bed together and he feels the baby kick. I might be wrong.

that is what it looked like. anyone have that clip handy? TracyQ I think you thought I meant the other one in the Q living room

BTW someone made a great lulu/tracy video to show that relationships can actually develop over time and lulu/tracy is a great example of that

I agree with you 100 percent nex!

I think she was forthright and classy in those articles.

Wow, you leave the canvas and every thing goes

topsy turvey.

So GF is going to Y&R?

I know it's not popular with some on here but I have no problem with

Genie. I'm happy she found another gig.

General Hospital clearly has no use for Laura/Genie but then they

have no use for Tracy/Jane either judging by what we're getting on screen.

I like the fact that Jane and Genie are friends and respect each other, if they don't have a problem with each other why should I?

As for Genie's comments in the press, I've seen nothing that tells me

she is malicious or self serving.

She has been vocal about wanting to come back to GH but in her most recent

article she says she wishes the show well and still hopes to come back, say in maybe two years when she's 50.

Doesn't sound like sour grapes to me.

I can't blame the woman for going to a soap that actually writes for women over 40.

Anyway enough about that, does anyone know when Tracy is on again?

Is it just me or are her appearances even more few and far between?

Is Jane on recurring now? :mad:

no she is not on recurring. I can say that with pretty much certainty.

I think a lot of them took cuts to minimums.

Tracy is on next week. At least on the 14th..perhaps it spills into two episodes. With Luke and perhaps lucky and maybe another

Do we really know Jane and Genie are friends? I don't think we do. Not that it matters. I don't care if they are, or aren't.It wouldn't change my opinion of GF's public persona one iota. If they are, great. Good for them. If they're not.....no skin off my nose either way.

No one called GF malicious, but I have heard for YEARS that she is a diva behind the scenes. To be fair, those accounts were from her first and second stints on GH, her stint on AMC, and her stint on Days.

That's three different soaps where people said similiar things...and that's why I give it merit. Again in all fairness, nothing has been said about her last few stints behind the scenes on GH.

Just the constant self promotion in the mags. So, I can't deny the self serving bit. I do think she is. BUT...in all honesty, a part of me can't blame her for that. Hollywood is basically horrible to women "of a certain age" and soaps are even worse than Hollywood in general. It's not the self promotion, so much as it is the manner in which it is done: out in public, ALMOST in a manner in which I would say she's trying to embarrass her former employers.

Add to that, Genie's recent comments about Greg Vaughn when JJ came back, and yeah....I really don't have a lot of positive things to say about her public persona, and it gets worse every time she speaks, I think.

As far as personally, I've never met the woman. I wish her no personal ill. She's just trying to make it, just like the rest of us. I'm no better or worse than her in terms of being a fallible person.

She just annoys me, and the fact that I have almost always hated her character doesn't help.
