Love Genie!! There would probably be no General Hospital these days without Luke and Laura. It was on the brink of Cancelation in the late '70's. Yes, there have been some other great pairings, but L & L were pure golden magic. I watched their story play out in real time and it was months and years of real romance, so much love and exciting intrigue. I will always love them for that!!!❤❤

My daughter begged to stay home from school the day of the wedding on General Hospital. So I let her . Much later as I was flipping through my family Bible, I found Genie Francis’s picture glued onto a picture of a Saint. We now call it St. Genie! Our family will always be here for her.

She proved ABC wrong when they told her Tony was the star. He is awesome, but she was a star too. "Mayor Laura Collins" proves that. I wish her well in her life.

That Luke and Laura story arc was so emotionally powerful for me. When that final series of episodes played out in late 1983 with the characters leaving PC, I really felt like somebody died. So very sad it was. Genie is a national treasure as is Tony and I wish them both the very best. Thanks for the memories 😢

As much as I completely love Laura, my heart breaks that Genie had to endure all of this pain and that she was treated in such a horrific way. Now I would have to say ONLY if Genie feels right about a return and does so, would I be happy about it. I am truly mortified that GH { The Network ABC} was so selfish in not thinking what was in the best interest of Genie. Her HEALTH, education { them STRONGLY encouraging her not to graduate} . Checking on her general sense of well being, its appaulling to me and makes me VERY angry. Overall, I love Genie and anything that makes HER happy and fulliflled. The memories of L&L are still wonderful to me but not quite the same now.

She was honored as GH's "million dollar lady" on the cover of People, with the return of Laura. A most phenomenal homage to such a superb, human, sweet, and gorgeous actress. Unbeknownst to much of fandom, the aches and pains she suffered, in how she was treated. Labeling her as too girly or weak, and too pretty for Daytime etc. instead of respecting her achievements on the series. Later, when she did North and South she finally received some respect in the industry.

Godspeed Genie Francis! As I say, we all struggle with something we have to keep in check. An addiction, or issue, of one sort or another. Those of us to say we don’t, are liars, and just not true to themselves! Dear One, I just loved watch this program right now!! I am saddened because of course we knew nothing of your struggles at the time! And I am really sorry that you went through that but thankful to the Lord Jesus that you came out so strong on the other end of it! I am so proud of you!! Watching you get married, WITH the REST of AMERICA & WORLD, while being IN LABOR, with my first child, was just the craziest thing!!! They barely had TVs in labor rooms back in the day, and the labor room was about the size of a closet, it seemed!! Oh course, the price at the end was well worth it all! She’s 38-year-old special education teacher today, who I am proud as heck of, as your father was always so proud of you!! And, too, I am proud of you Genie!! Thank you for sharing your story!! Thank you though, a very special thank you for speaking out about ADDICTION!!!! The more we speak of it, the less stigmatized it will become. My own son goes to the methadone clinic every single day because he was addicted to H for 15+ years! He’s 35. Like I said, we all struggle. We are a broken people called to come together and love one another in our brokenness. I just love you so much💖💪✝️

She got help and got her life straightened out and that is more important that the fans disappointment in her leaving GH. Her fan base was still there for her when she recovered and came back and are there for her now.

She's exactly 2 years and 1 day older than me, so, as fellow May Geminis, I've always felt a sort of connection to her. And as a Trekkie, imagine my delight when Jonathan was cast on Star Trek TNG! They are such a wonderful couple, and I am thrilled that their marriage is still going strong despite the odds of Hollywood. Her strength, talent, and kindness as a person has inspired me to be more like her. Thank you, Genie, for sharing your story and your incredible talent with us!

I am so saddened that GH has come to an end, hopefully temporarily, due to the Coronavirus pandemic. I have been watching for almost 40 years, since I was 12 years old. GH has become a part of my daily routine. I especially feel that void due to being quarantined, when so much has been lost and is uncertain. But in quarantine, for the first 2 months, I could always count on one thing and that was cuddling up on my favorite chair in my living room with a nice cup of coffee, to watch GH every day at 3 o’clock, until May 21st the last episode. I knew that the last episode was coming, but when that last day finally came, I was sad. I only hope that GH resumes after this is all over. For now, I will enjoy the reruns. It would be really great if they would play the soap from the beginning in 1963. I missed about the first 18 years. However, not much time for that if they resume taping soon, I guess. I am the biggest GH fan. I lived through the Luke & Laura years in the 80s, and their famous wedding on Nov 17, 1981. When I was in the 7th grade, I used to write “I ❤️ Luke” and “Luke is #1” on my notebooks, and I used to run home after school every day to watch. Ha. I haven’t thought of that in years. Sue N.

She could make her own soap with this history alone...

I'm an original fan of Genie's going back to 1977. I loved the whole Luke and Laura phenomenon, particularly during 1980 and '81. This program explains a lot of what she went through, and came out the other side. I DO NOT like the fact though that her 'Laura' character was used as a 'stunt' at different times briefly by GH for ratings. I also didn't like it when it looked like she was going to gave a solid role in 2018 but was written out AGAIN. In 2019 and 2020 though, she's been back as Laura as the Mayor of Port Charles on the show. What I love now is that she has a solid role that shows her as a modern woman who's a 2020 version of Laura. She's an independent, strong woman, now married to Kevin Collins. That is not the main focus of her character. She's not 'defined' by a man. She doesn't need to be, and shouldn't be. She also isn't having to 'carry the show'. People that still try to pigeonhole her as 'Laura' of 'Luke and Laura' in 2020, need to stop. I'm not the same person I was 40 years ago, and neither is she. If you haven't seen her on GH recently, you'll be in for a pleasant surprise. She's as great as ever. GH is currently out of episodes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I urge you to watch/DVR the show once it resumes. It's a great show aside from Genie, but she's still my favorite . I think she's probably happy with the compromise of the Laura character today being an important character, but an important part of the show's team. There's a big difference.

It's an Inside Daisy Clover story. What Christopher Plummer's character says to Natalie Wood's in that movie reflects what Frances describes was the network's attitude toward her: "work or else." It's a business -- they don't see young people struggling with fame and addiction; they see "the talent".

Oh yeah, I will never forget when Ryan Peavy first appeared at Maxie's door. Wanting to rent the place while she was gone. I was like OH MY GOODNESS WHO IS THIS HUNK????? and then the sad sad day when he was killed... I was MAD!!!!

@Debbie Smith I would agree that she is one of the most beautiful woman in Hollywood, honestly. As far as natural beauty goes without the knife helping out genie would be one of the top. I also think Natalie Portman and Marina sirtis have that natural beauty and charisma. Who would you say are Hollywood's natural beauties?

The chemistry between her and Anthony Geary really made it so believable. My mom, was sad whenever anyone came into the situation to split them up. And even though we like Holly, she belonged with Scorpio.

I don't blame her for leaving the show. Telling her, "It doesn't matter if your character lives or dies, Tony G is the whole show!" is a hurtful statement. It reminds me of one of my bosses once said to me in a business where certain employees were a plus to the corporation, "I don't make any money off of you!". I was so hurt and insulted that I wanted to leave.

I watched this on two different occasions over the yrs. I must of missed hearing Genie and Kin dated for that long. I saw another interview or more of a seminar Genie did it was just before 2013. When She came back for the 50 yrs or after She said she didn't watch or keep up with the show because there was a lot of hurt, however she blamed nobody. Very classy woman. I don't see how Demi Moore made such a name when Genie was the far superior actor

I think it's more a matter of Demi meeting the right people who put her in the right roles.

I think that the truth! Demi Moore isn’t nearly the actress that Genie is!!! Glad that she was able to get out from under the drugs and alcohol.

Not to say anything bad about Demi Moore. But, Genie Frances is in a completely different category and you know it and see it instantly.... And when the Hollywood hounds know that they go after the give it up ones and won't excell the ones that don't sell out....It's the plan truth of it.

I read in a John Martinuzzi interview that Genie Francis' father Ivor was an alcoholic. John Martinuzzi was the original Stavros Cassadine who dated GFrancis for about two years and also an alcoholic. He commented she hated alcoholism and that Martinuzzi's addiction was a factor in their breakup. This makes her story even more sad.

Genie is still a cutie. I remember when she quit GH and like a lot of people, I thought it was just because she wanted to be a movie star. It never occurs to you that those actors have so much drama going on.

Me too. She could have easily stumbled down an all to common path that a lot of child actors do. Genie had an amazing will power that shows through with her commitment to her marriage and children and her career as well as her choice to leave the show and get help.
