Genie Francis and Jonathan Jackson

Of all the great acting teams GH has had and I would like to see reunite, at the top of my list is Genie Francis and Jonathan Jackson. After watching some interviews, I decided to create this vid, which is unlike anything I've made before. I've used tv and radio interviews in which Genie and Jonathan discuss their real-life relationship, mixed in with footage from General Hospital, where they played mother and son from 1993-1999. Here are links to the interviews used, if you want to hear the whole thing:
Genie talks about her relationship with Jonathan:
• Genie talks about her ...
Genie Francis Intimate Portrait, Final Part
• Video
Anthony Geary and Jonathan Jackson (2009)
• Video
JJ wins first Emmy (1995)
• Jonathan Jackson wins ...
Also thanks to Shazzer (know from dreams,) Cate, and sussezq for the GH clips.

I love how Miss Francis took what was negative in her life, and used it to bring about a positive approach to young Mr. Jackson's life and career. She took what wasn't given to her, and gave it to him...wow! The onscreen chemistry was obvious, and it sounds like the offscreen chemistry is what it is supposed to be - a mentor to a mentee, a mother to a child, wonderful!

[@MaddieBullock]

I cried when he thanked them!!

[@77serendipity]

This is so sweet! Tears in my eyes right now! I love how they speak so fondly of eachother. What a special bond they must have. I love the scene where Laura is telling Lucky what a gift he has been in her life and how proud of him she is. I swear it's like Genie was really saying that to Jonathan

WOW, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VIDEO

[@91alanjean]

Wow! This is an amazing tribute to the total love and respect that Jonathan and Genie have for each other! This is one mother and child reunion that needs to happen!

[@Luanna801]

Aww, that's so sweet! I love all the quotes you chose. I really had no idea they were that close in real life. I mean, I knew they had a good relationship, but not that they were really almost like a mother and son! That's so sweet. I would love to see these two reunited onscreen as well.

In separate interviews, Genie Francis and Tony Geary each have always referred to JJ as their firstborn! ❤

[@Framboise2007]

Gorgeous video Butterfly. Perfection. Genie and Jonathan would be honored. I hope they see it one day.

[@msjenna1211]

wow this made me cry, I want Laura (genie) to came back I been wanting that since JJ came back.

[@sussezq]

Wow, was waiting to watch until I could give it my full attention and so glad I did. What a BEAUTIFUL tribute to both Mr. Jackson and Ms. Francis, and the amazing relationship they created for us as Laura and Lucky on screen. It was incredibly well done butterfly. Loved it. Might have to share it with some folks! ;-)

There's a link to the clip of JJ winning his first emmy in the description. It was 1995.

[@butterfly7704]

@77serendipity That's why I included that scene. Those are clearly words spoken from the heart. ♥

[@butterfly7704]

I don't know if they have, but that would be so great!

[@butterfly7704]

If you're referring to the scene at 2:30, that's Sean and Tiffany's penthouse, which became Sonny's penthouse after they left town.

[@butterfly7704]

Type "Luke Laura 94 p. 326" and it will come up. In that scene Laura tells Lucky that Luke was shot in Puerto Rico and is missing.

[@MaddieBullock]

Sorry about the typos :)

[@MikkosCassadine]

Other than the music being way too loud and irritating, this was a wonderful video!

[@butterfly7704]

@Nacha255 I think it's what makes them so incredible to watch together. There's a lot of real love there.

[@butterfly7704]

@Framboise2007 Thank you! : )

[@MaddieBullock]

What episode were they at the hunted star?

[@MaddieBullock]

What year was that they announced the award to him I wan to see if I can find the full clip

[@butterfly7704]

@91alanjean Thank you! It would be so wrong if it doesn't happen. . .

[@MaddieBullock]

What episode was 2:30 from?

[@butterfly7704]

@monkeygrove Thanks! It sure would.

[@MaddieBullock]

Was that even where they were?

[@butterfly7704]

@sussezq Thank you, Sus. Please do. ;-)

[@jacifertik7038]

This was all written before they added Nickolas storyline

[@MaddieBullock]

Sorry I don't know what I was thinking they weren't at the Haunted Star it just looked like it at first glance

[@butterfly7704]

@thepretender58 Did you need kleenex too? I appreciate all your awesome words of encouragement. I seem to be on a vidding roll lately. :-)

[@butterfly7704]

@1964nickel I did warn you about the kleenex. ;-)
