‘General Hospital’ – 7 Reasons We Love Genie Francis’ Three Year GH Deal

When ‘General Hospital’ spoilers revealed that Laura Spencer [Genie Francis] was coming back as part of Luke Spencer’s [Anthony Geary] final exit, we assumed Laura might ride off into the sunset with her former hubby.

Then ‘General Hospital’ news broke that Genie Frances inked a three-year deal with the ABC soap and we here at Soap Opera Spy are excited. We love our legacy characters and Laura has been beloved by GH fans for more than 30 years.

Here’s 7 reasons we’re thrilled with Genie Francis’ lengthy contract:

#1 Laura can be the matriarch

Laura has always been such a nice lady, even when life has done her wrong. It’s nice to see her now with some steel in her spine as she’s standing up to Hayden Barnes [Rebecca Budig] and calling her out on scamming Nikolas Cassadine [Tyler Christopher]. With Helena Cassadine [Constance Towers] dead, Laura can serve as matriarch of the Cassadine and Spencer clans (even though she’s neither by birth).

#2 Laura can look for love

Luke always ruined any other chance Laura had at love including her past marriages with Scotty Baldwin [Kin Shriner] and Stefan Cassadine [Stephen Nichols]. Laura deserves a love with someone who won’t run out of town at a moment’s notice, cheat on her, and drive her insane. Maybe she can give Scotty another chance – he’s always loved her and he’s single now too…READ MORE.
