Genie Francis returns to General Hospital as Laura Spencer!
So we’ve just picked ourselves off the ground … because we fainted (though we had great accessories on, keeping in true soap opera fashion) from sheer, unbridled excitement. Genie Francis is coming back to General Hospital as Laura Spencer! THE Laura Spencer. Of Luke and Laura fame.
In case you have been vacationing on Pluto for the last two decades, you know that Luke (Anthony Geary) and Laura were the power couple to rush home from school for. Their wedding was watched by more people than any other daytime television broadcast EVER. Elizabeth Taylor even showed up (in a turban, natch) to curse them. Genie was last seen on the show in 2006, when Laura came out of her catatonic state (the reason the character exited in 2002) thanks to a new medicine. Too bad the medicine didn’t have a permanent effect: She slipped back into a vegetative state, but not before remarrying her true love, Luke. So Luke was married to Tracy at the time, but it was the symbolic gesture of it that counted.
So what’s the deal? Why is Laura coming back? First, because Laura Spencer is awesome. Second … well, we don’t want to spoil anything too much, but let’s just say that Laura’s love for her daughter, Lulu (Julie Marie Berman) is more powerful than science, medicine, earth, wind, and fire (which is a great band, BTW).
