Thirty years ago today over thirty million viewers tuned into ABC Daytime for part one of the nuptials between GENERAL HOSPITAL'S legendary Luke and Laura. Considering ABC's number one primetime show DANCING WITH THE STARS only brought in 18.16 million viewers last week, it is easy to see the impact of GH had on television's landscape. But none of the glamor or pageantry would have mesmerized had it not been for the simple elegance and beauty of one half of this supercouple, Genie Francis. Thirty years later we reflect on her career, her classic soap roles, as well as the side of Genie Francis you have never seen before on the genre defining Indie Soap, PRETTY THE SERIES.WE LOVE SOAPS TV: I am so excited to speak with you about your contributions to the continuing story format, starting with your hilarious appearance on PRETTY THE SERIES.
Genie Francis: I’m so glad you liked it.
WE LOVE SOAPS TV: How did you decide to participate in an Indie Soap?
Genie Francis: It was based on the relationship I have with Denise Alexander, who played my TV mom for many years and has been a good friend my whole life. She asked me to do as a favor, and she has never asked me for anything. So this was the opportunity for me to do something for her. My decision was made solely on that.
