GH’s Genie Francis, who was recently dropped from contract status as Laura Collins, has taken to Twitter to clarify some details surrounding the decision. “It’s been painful for me to see [Executive Producer] @valentinifrank receive so much of the blame for the decision to take me off contract. No one fought harder to re-establish Laura on @GeneralHospital,” she posted. “He has always been my champion & I don’t believe he took any pleasure in seeing Laura diminished.” After Francis and Valentini had lunch together, Valentini tweeted, “Always great to spend time with the beautiful @GenieFrancis! @GeneralHospital #GH.”
