It's almost as if they said, "We'll give Genie back her family, but we're going to play them with everyone but her!"

I imagine some is spite toward Genie from the show, but Laura has also been such a dead character for a long time now. She just feels isolated, even as the mayor. There could have been some story to play with the return of her kids, especially Lucky, but I'm not even that sure how compelling it would have been. Admittedly I just don't think a lot of actress or character. 

Spite toward Genie would not be surprising unfortunately.

I don't feel that way at all. But I think that's about our personal perspectives. I get that not everyone loves Laura/Genie, but Laura was the matriarchal center of the show for much of the last decade IMO, particularly in '23 during the anniversary capers and in a long period with much more activity for her as the mayor. It's the last year where she's hit the backburner for a long stretch, particularly with NAC leaving. And it's done a disservice to the show AFAIC.

Very much so. There's so much they can do with Laura. Especially right now.

We come to Friday and here's BLQ dressed like Amadeus. Where will it end?

I'm playing catch-up and agree cuz her little ponytail on the episode I saw looked cute. I just don't like the propping for Natalia.

 

Hehe at the Brendabot comment. 

I agree as well. But I've mentioned this especially in regards to Carly and Brennan. Does she even realize and have verbalize to Brennan that she knows he's the one who got her crime to just vanish into the ether? Has he actually told her? One, the other, or both would naturally bring them together. But instead, we get hees, haws, slapsticky situations, but no talks when they had two dinners where they could have put it all on the table. They are long overdue for becoming a couple. They even have his henchwoman...not to mention Sonny AND Sidwell...as potential spoilers before sleeping together.

Carly absolutely does not know that it was Jack who destroyed her FBI audio file. And, when she finds out & also finds out that Jason has known all this time, her fury is gonna be like something none of us has ever seen before!!!

Genie Francis is the leader of the soap. She really is, with Jane Elliot being right behind her. Both of them (Elliot & Francis) are the leaders of the pack, for me. And both should be immersed in story.

Either Amanda Setton will be recast, or the role is fully written out.

There are places where the fans there refer to him as the Sperminator & they add the sig line, "I'll be back," but when they use it, it is a threat not a promise.

Why is it every time I catch up on this show BLQ turns up dressed like Biggie Smalls or the Blues Brothers. Enough.

LOL!!

Here's a clue:

Brook Lynn should be recast. The actress no longer has any appeal to me.

The Avery custody battle is not interesting because Avery does not appear on screen. She should be recast and SORAS'd into a teenager.

I want to see Kevin and Ace with Laura more often. Lulu has not had a scene with her nephew yet.

When you watch the show, it’s pretty clear Frank keeps Finola Hughes in story. It helps her character is based in the action/adventure days and Hughes looks great. They have not been as consistent with lead story for any other women on the show except Ava, Carly, and Willow for five+ years or longer. Alexis drops out for months at a time until this year. Sam was nonexistent. Liz was sidelined. Maxie was sidelined. Tracy was underutilized.

Laura should be used as much right now with Lulu, Lucky, and her serial killer brother, as she was when they used her to prop Esme. We saw her more when they were trying to save Heather. It’s so noticeable. I do wonder if the rumors of her mother dying recently were true if Genie asked for a reduced workload.

Just me, I have zero  interest in seeing Toddler Ace but I would appreciate the show using Kevin both as Laura's hubs & as a shrink. When we heard Kevin dictating his notes after seeing a patient, I really liked that.
