Genie's back..... what's next?

Ok so Genie Francis is back as our beloved Laura Webber Baldwin Spencer - I have read mixed reviews about this. While I am thrilled to have Laura back and knowing Jonathan Jackson, Nathan Parsons and Emma Samms are on the way is even more exciting. Icing on the cake would be if Tristan Rogers came back, and the ice cream on the iced cake would be John Reilly. Time will tell.

The writers have some big adventure send off for Luke. It's been 3 days since Laura showed up, and fans are going crazy. I say give it some time. I get it's hard to have faith in these writers as they have failed us. Seeing Luke hurt Tracy yet again is painful to watch but it is painful to watch when our beloved character dies (Duke) or when a baby dies (Gabriel).  It's a drama. If someone isn't plotting revenge, hurt, mourning a loved one or catching someone having an affair then the show doesn't go on.

Jane Elliot is shining as the hurt scorned woman. She never gets to be happy but then again she is always the first to hurl an insult at someone. She makes it hard to love her. But Luke loved her. In fact, he still loves her. Anthony Geary played Luke perfectly as he broke Tracy's heart. He was clearly pained by telling her he was "going back to Laura". We have to have faith that this isn't "true".  When Luke said he was doing this for "love", he didn't say it was for the love of Laura. Could it be the love of his son or maybe sons? Lucky must be in trouble maybe Ethan too which is why Holly comes back to town. If Luke told Tracy the truth, where would the mystery be? We certainly wouldn't be talking about it the way we have been. Blogs wouldn't be on fire, Facebook groups wouldn't be debating. This is what makes for a good storyline.

I am going to hold out hope that the writers do Anthony's departure justice. I am going to enjoy Jane Elliot's incredible acting, embrace Genie's return and soak up the rest of Tony's on screen time. I look forward to seeing Jonathan, Nathan & Emma. I will pray for more returns to send Tony off  in style.

Keep the faith fans......
