General Hospital’s Genie Francis!
I can say without a doubt that Genie Francis is one of the most talented actresses in daytime! Her ability to portray emotion with such rawness is beautiful. This week Laura was forced to accept that Lulu was not going to get better at General Hospital and that she would have to go to a long-term care facility. Her goodbye to the daughter that would always have her heart had us wiping tears away. Being the ultimate mama bear, she then gave Cyrus Renault one hell of a slap when he had the gall to offer his condolences.
The Bold and the Beautiful’s Matthew Atkinson!
