Genie Francis to return to General Hosptial

General Hospital fans will be pleased to learn that Genie Francis (Laura) has confirmed her return to General Hospital. Unfortunately, the role will be short term, as Gene Francis states: "I would stay on, but `General Hospital' honestly doesn't seem to want that relationship with this character at the moment," said Francis. "They want little short doses during sweeps periods. It's not entirely up to me. I'm thrilled and delighted my audience stands behind me. If they didn't, you can be sure I wouldn't get to come back for these visits."

Look for Laura on August 26th. She will be returning to reunite with her daughter Lulu.
