[@lisaweiner215]

Genie Francis will always be my favorite actress.

[@taroman7100]

she did all that without a card she missed no one and unlike today there was no pressure cooker ticking away love this girl so much

[@denisespurlock7869]

Laura (Genie Francis) will always be in my heart even long after she retires from all the drama.

[@ghfever4445]

Always the lovely and gracious Genie Francis.

[@carrieolson6871]

So deserving, Genie showed them all what a great actress, she truly is.

[@ghfever4445]

Just watched again. Probably my all time favorite actor EVER. At least in my top 3. Tony Geary being the other one of them. So unappreciated by "mainstream" media.

[@ML-sy3bn]

My favorite actress of any genre. Incredible talent.

[@carrieolson6871]

Bravo, Genie is the best. Time and time again. 💕

[@karenkingrey6142]

I tear up every time I watch this! ❤️ this lady is just everything in one amazing little package!!!

[@christineadams1284]

Karen Kingrey I cried. 💜

[@oldhollywoodfan8009]

I totally cried at the end when spoke to the fans. I was a kid and I was CRUSHED when she was taken that night on the docks in the fog from the phone booth. She was gone. I was absolutely crushed. So hearing her talk to the fans at the end, my heart smiled and my eyes started.😄

[@Lukejunkie]

The most amazing actress! How lucky are we to have her back on GH once more!!!

[@pjrose519]

In my opinion greatest soap actress ever.

[@Emmziewwemzie]

She's so sweet ❤️

[@jasonlindsey9946]

Well said Genie! Always a class act. I knew when she started GH that she would one day be a legendary part of that show.

[@the_Real_Grammy_of_6]

I could hardly believe this was her FIRST nomination!! Did the “powers that be” just wake up from a coma, all those years ago?

[@marianyulo9066]

Genie frances is the best love her since 80 till today .

[@wlsweat1]

She's such a great actress. I really don't miss those award shows. I guess that I grew out of that :)

[@robertpiarulli6230]

Old I mean not old

[@Beatles0223]

It took Genie until 1997 to get an Emmy??? WTF???

[@betsykeller9096]

This wasn't even an Emmy. I don't think it was until 2006 that she got an Emmy.

[@tammymartinez7488]

It was soap opera digest lead actress! The Emmy win was supporting actress in 2001!

[@vanessadorahill1087]

I've never watch Days of Our Lives,but I am a Ashley fan , when she was on The Young and Restless Show.Laura was a great actress.

[@samanthawade9356]

I hope genie stays on GH for long!

[@amiehampton867]

She is still on there since.

[@Nerdbabe91]

Awwwwww :-)

[@novisnow5]

Eileen Davidson even knew. If you read her lips, she said " Genie Francis"

[@donnalindsey611]

🥰🌻🌹

[@juliefournier2704]

He commuted suicide last yr I'm so sorry for him &. His family may u RIP

[@christineadams1284]

Who committed suicide? Thanks

[@ellyreginald6546]

Why does Genie always ignore Stephan Nichols. Her best partner as an adult Laura? Very weird.

[@lilflower25]

I was thinking the same thing watching that. I think she should have gave him a shout out too.

[@betsykeller9096]

Stefan was just starting to lurk in the wings when this went down. He wasn't as integral a part of her character yet as Tony Geary was. Come 1999, Laura and Stefan hit full stride. I think then it would have made sense for her to thank Steven Nichols.

[@ellyreginald6546]

Wow, no "thanks" to Stephen Nichols who made the Cassadine story work. What's her problem?

[@kleptoclouds6117]

Who knows? Maybe she just forgot; OR maybe he's not great in real life and she doesn't like him. She's too classy to say publicly, I'm sure. I'm pretty sure calling her out for not including him isn't fair since there are too many things we don't know. I follow a lot of GH actors on Twitter and I notice only one GH actor follows Nichols. Maybe he is not well liked?
