She is a natural at it. Tony Geary who will probably be number 1 or should be shines best around her. At 17 she was accomplishing things in this field on screen that most in your top 50 never accomplished ever. She is irreplacable. She als has a heart of pure gold. ABC get off your butts and get her on GH again. She is worth as much as Tony Geary.kobey1https://www.blogger.com/profile/13754080163811669236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-67070409372443397832010-02-05T19:48:20.472-05:002010-02-05T19:48:20.472-05:00Genie Francis is the heart and soul, the earth mot...Genie Francis is the heart and soul, the earth mother, of General Hospital.<br /><br />Her performances as Laura are touching, exquisitely drawn and surprising. She is perhaps the only daytime icon who is female that can rival Susan Lucci for the ultimate iconic status in this genre. Unlike Lucci, she has never fallen into a pattern. She has made Laura into a woman of substance. As I have said about Michael Zaslow's beautiful response to Maureen Garrett on Guiding Light.... Tony Geary has the same thing with Genie. They create something between them that makes harmony from chaos. There is an artistry to their communication. It is, in fact, high art.<br /><br />Congratulations Genie. I hope you know how deeply you are loved by GH diehards. You have, in fact, come to work for all of those years and shared your soul.<br /><br />On another note-<br />I am extremely dissapointed not to see Finola Hughes on this list, who I believe created the greatest and most powerful female character in General Hospital history, effortlessly filling the void left by Genie's original absence... with an equally remarkable but very different character.<br /><br />Thrilled for Genie, bummed for Finola.AdamTGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10614379475739967231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-37400105422391790572010-01-25T23:15:34.114-05:002010-01-25T23:15:34.114-05:00I also believe that Genie should be higher than wh...I also believe that Genie should be higher than what is posted. She did an excellent job playing the role of Laura. She marvelously brought out the whole realm of emotions needed in various scenes. She's tough, & fierce to defend her family against those trying to do them harm. She's tender & loving to those close to her. She's giving & compassionate to GH patients. We need her strong influence & acting talent back on the show!!! Please do whatever is necessary to bring back the tremendous acting talent of Genie!KNelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15810531621362135820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-54708257577437554432010-01-23T19:07:48.029-05:002010-01-23T19:07:48.029-05:00I have so much enjoyed this countdown but please d...I have so much enjoyed this countdown but please don't tell me that Crystal Chappell is number one.

Her performances are always spot on, intelligent, passionate and Laura Spencer is so part of GH the show just doesn't work for me without her. I hope someone at ABC daytime buys a clue soon and brings both Genie Francis and Laura Spencer back home!! Genie Francis should certainly be in your top 10!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634736599017895217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-35321730473745409482010-01-23T11:43:06.680-05:002010-01-23T11:43:06.680-05:00I am shock she is 16 I thought she would be in 1 t...I am shock she is 16 I thought she would be in 1 to 10 category well anyway good actress pretty and love her in her famous role LAURA ON GHStephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08458406772676479005noreply@blogger.com
