I do want to say that I agree with most of what is said. Two notable exceptions are found in #14 of the letter: "The talent of Tristan Rodgers and Genie Francis is being wasted. Genevieve is really too campy."
First, it is "Rogers" and second, I believe the campiness to be the fault of the writers and the director. Genie was looking for a role that exuded power, not helplessness or craziness. If that were the case, she would have returned to General Hospital during the Guza reign of terror. I DO agree that Tristan and Genie's talent is being wasted, just like the talent of a number of other Y&R actors who sit on the sidelines during the "Newman Hour".
I also want to say there is one glaring error- Jess Walton is not mentioned. I wonder if the writer was so overcome with frustration that that she/he just overloaded and missed intended comments about Jess? But other than those two issues, I stand and applaud the article. Now everyone go out and email it to CBS/Sony.
