    Say it isn’t so! There are new reports that say ‘General Hospital’ (GH) spoilers find that star Genie Francis (Laura Spencer) is taking a break from the highly-rated ABC daytime television show. The actress opened up to TV Insider about why she’s stepping away from the show but did say that her break would only be temporary. Here’s what you need to know.

    Francis put it this way to the site, “I’ve had such a fun time on GH, and I’ve absolutely loved what the writers gave me to work with this season. And, there are some really great storylines planned for the fall – but for now, I’ve decided to take the summer off.”

    She also added, “I am very much looking forward to spending the time with my family and relaxing a bit. I promise, though, I will be back to Port Charles before you know it.”

    Of course, it didn’t take long at all for ‘General Hospital’ fans to weigh in on the matter. Some critics couldn’t help but note the timing of Genie’s vacation and her co-star Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) announcing that he had tested positive for Covid-19 just this week.

    Many of them commented with, “Not a minute too soon considering Steve Burton just announced he’s Covid positive and got it from work. I wonder if production will be shut down?” along with, “He *claims* he got it from work… but we don’t know that, yet, especially if the other parties in-question tested negative as well.”

    Another fan wrote, “I absolutely love Genie Francis — as many of you already said, she is the heart of the show. I was so upset when she did not get the treatment that she deserved by previous regimes. For me, Genie and Anna should get a break — from what I’ve read, putting on a show 5 days a week is grueling. Have fun, get rested, and always come back! We love you!”

    So far the producers of ‘General Hospital’ have made no comments about Genie’s break.
