Cyrus may be obsessed with Laura

Genie Francis has been on and off General Hospital since that late 1970s. She was married to Scott Baldwin, the left him for Luke Spencer. The wedding of Luke and Laura was one of the most-watched events in daytime history. Francis returned a few years back and had been in front burner storylines ever since. Her character Laura Collins is the Port Charles Mayor and is desperately trying to keep Cyrus Renault from taking over her city. but has not been seen in quite some time. Lulu has mentioned her mother to Kevin and also Cyrus Renault.

It’s being implied that the drug kingpin has some type of obsession with Madame Mayors but Laura herself has not shown up on screen. When popular characters disappear without a word, the fans begin to speculate. Just before General Hospital returned to the air after the hiatus in March, Soap Dirt spoilers said a trusted set insider had revealed that two female cast members had tested positive for COVID 19. This was never confirmed but the rumor mill suggested that one of those women was Kelly Monaco for two reasons.

The first was that she had been sent home from the ABC daytime drama for 2 weeks of quarantine. The second was that a good friend of her admitted having the coronavirus. Monaco, herself never addressed the issue but her mother went on Twitter to say that Kelly was claustrophobic and had a reaction to wearing her mask under the bright lights while taping. With Genie Francis MIA, some fans might assume that perhaps she id dealing with being ill because of the pandemic, but there is no evidence this is true. There actually is no news regarding the actress or the character she portrays.

Scotty and Laura

Genie Francis may simply be taking time off from working as she has done in past. She will need to return soon because her character is in the middle of all the drama. As mayor, Laura will have to deal with Jordan who helped Marcus Taggert fake his death and also the fallout from Cyrus running drugs through the city. Soaps She Knows has a list of all the comings and goings in Port Charles, and Genie Francis is not mentioned. The spoiler acknowledged the returns of Nathan Parsons Ethan, Pauline Lule as Valerie, Emma Sams as Holly, Stephen A Smit, as Brick, and Vernee Watson as Stella.

Soaps.com mentioned that Nelle, (Chloe Ranier) is gone at least for now and Joe Flanagan's character Dr. Neil burn is dead. Laura is not involved in the spoilre alerts for September 21-25 but here is what viewers can expect during the coming week. Ava and Nickolas will take Avery to Sonny's house and Molly spends the afternoon with her mom, Curtis appologize to his Aunite Stella, Alexis. Cyrus asked Lulu to relay a message which probably is for her mother and Elizabeth and Nikola run into each other. On Tuesday, Brando has a chat with Sam, Alexis ignores Valentin, Elizabeth and Lulu spend time together and Dante becomes aggressive with his doctor. Franco seeks a favor from Nina and Cameron is confused about his feelings.

On Wednesday, Lulu will be there for a grieving Sonny, Jason receives a phone call that troubles him, Stella checks on TJ, Molly can't deal with sleeping with Brando, and Jax deals with guilt. On Thrusday, Julian will need Martin's assistance, Franco and Liz argue over finacial troubles, Something troubles Ned, Chase visits with Carly, and Sasha needs help from a friend. On Friday, Ned allows his emotions to get the best of him, Valentin will defend Alexis, Olivia feels guilty, Cameron opens up to Joss, and Brook Lynn will feel helpless.

Laura's family is really going to need her so lets hope she returns to Port Charles soon. Dante will be returning and Lulu will be torn between two men. Kevin is going to desire his wife's support considering that Cyrus is taking over General Hospital and Nikolas is falling in love with Ava. Viewers knew this was going to happen but everyone in Port Charles believed it was a sham marriage. Nick and even Ava may want to confide in Madame Mayor about their situation. Spencer is not in town but his grandpa Mike died and he could use his grandma's support. Laura is friends with Sonny so she should be there for him during this difficult time. Be on the lookout for updates as to when Genie Francis will be showing up again.
