A Magic Genie Returns to 'General Hospital'

Tuesday August 26, 2008
It was a welcome sight to General Hospital viewers when Laura Spencer emerged from her catatonic state to comfort her emotionally-ravaged daughter, Lulu.

We are looking forward to Francis' scenes, which either take place for real or in Lulu's mind. However it turns out, Genie Francis is always a welcome addition to General Hospital. In a recent interview, Francis, whose new haircut and recent weight loss enhance her beauty, states that she and her husband, actor Jonathan Frakes, are moving back to Los Angeles and pursuing their love of acting again. Here's hoping the producers can find a way to keep Francis around a lot longer.

What a gift it is to have Genie Francis back on GH!!! This time we all hope the powers that be realize that we, the fans, want Genie to stay permanently. She has made no bones about the fact that she’d love the chance to come back full time. Please don’t let us down!

I am so happy Laura is back. I really hope it is for good. They could really give her a great storyline and I wish they would. Luke and Laura are the reason this show became such a hit. I don’t even like soaps, but I love this. I wish they would pay them more and turn it into a night time show.

I am so glad the GF is back on the show. I hope that she is back to stay and they give her good storylines. I also hope that Vanessa Marcil returns soon and stick around for a good while. I am so happy that Finola Hughes and Sarah Brown are back on the show but I do not like their storylines. All the crime going on in PC there is something they could work them into. I would like to see another adventure like the one they did on location in Puerto Rico back in the day. They had a lot of characters in that storyline it was one of the best storylines.

I fast fowarded through most of it. It was the same scene different words the entire week. I can only watch LuLu bust out in tears so many times in one week. Boring

I wish they would have the good sense to keep GF for a long term stay. The night time version is doing best because they are bringing more regulars from the good old days.
