People are asking me "is it true that
#ABCTV
is considering rebooting
#AMC
&
#OLTL
?"-I DON'T KNOW...but wouldn't it be WONDERFUL? Would I be available to play
#DorianLord
again?-DANG YES! I've NEVER gotten over the loss of my TV family & friends-I miss them as much as you have:)
My Mother, Anne, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Sunday night. I'm going to need private time to mourn the smart, feisty, edgy woman who gave birth to me-We never got along, but I feel so sad that we never got the chance to make it right. April 17th she would've been 94...
Kamar de los Reyes, One Life to Live Actor, Dead at 56 via
@TVLine
AN
ENORMOUS LOSS of a man of great integrity & talent.
I admired him, it was impossible not to...& it wasn't only that he was MUY GUAPO friends-Take it from me the man was a Mensche! RIP
IF you were over the age of 12 & living in the USA you KNOW where you were when
#LukeAndLaura
got married:) At OLTL studio we ALL gathered around the make-up room TV watching
#GeneralHospital
make romantic history! WOW:) Genie Francis & Tony Geary forever!
Give me 3 months notice that I'd be playing
#OLTL
#Dorian
again-I'd get a facelift+ liposuction+Botox+4 prs of Spanx-sorry TMI:) but "Dorian" would have WORK done-right? Suffice to say-I'd be thrilled to be part of the rumored resurrection-Fans haven't forgotten us-THANK YOU ALL!
Bad Decision in High Places!
#GenieFrancis
is a fixture in our hearts-We of a certain age, remember exactly where we were for

It's a damn shame

. Mayor Laura taking down mob boss Sonny would have been storytelling gold. Fix this
@GeneralHospital
and
@ABCNetwork

With respect for significant losses other people are feeling; I had a bad/sad day yesterday. Admitting that brings a lump to my throat while I'm
#Tweeting
. Friday January 13, 2012 was the last airdate of

On behalf of our
@GeneralHospital
family, I am heartbroken to announce the passing of our beloved
@JackieZeman
. Just like her character, the legendary Bobbie Spencer, she was a bright light and true professional that brought so much positive energy with her to work.
Personal request: though an avid
#tweeter
:) I'm not exactly sure how
#Twitter
'trends' work, but if we all put a hashtag on
#OneLifeToLive
maybe, we can get it trending tomorrow? It's the 10th Ann'y of it's final ABC epi. I miss it-you miss it-many miss it. Let's hashtag it-plz:)
#JerryVerDorn
a fine actor and true gentleman. It always felt good to see him, not just because he was so darn good looking (he was:) but because he was so affable & easygoing; while being thoroughly hardworking and dedicated to the work. All honor to one of the best of the best!
#PrinceHarry
's Mother
#PrincessDiana
would've been a proud & doting Grandmother-& a supportive Mother-In-Law to
#DuchessMeghan
This is the only branch of the so-called "Royal Family" that I emotionally connect with-It's all about me:) I LOVE the adorable resemblance-don't you?
This is sad to hear. My memories of
#AndreaEvans
are of a woman who was super smart & energized a heat seeking missile. That's a compliment:) You knew when you worked with her, it'd be like going head to head with a champion. I admired her daring. I hate the disease that took her
This is incredibly sad news. My condolences to her loved ones, her friends, and fellow castmates. She spent a good deal of time with
@robinstrasser
and
#ErikaSlezak
. May her memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved her.
I want to thank everyone who sent condolences on my Mother's passing. Kindness abides amongst my friend/followers. I couldn't express my profound gratitude in words, but it was deeply felt. Thank you all...
I'm going on a Retreat for awhile...not going to take a phone or a computer so don't worry. Wish me well, because I certainly wish that for you...:)

BELATED BRAVO
#GeneralHospital
for re-launching
@GenieFrancis

into ebb & flow of

You knew when Genie thanked her fans in the past-she really meant it-she's ALWAYS been authentic-as an actor & a person-She looks radiant & happy doesn't she?
#GHfans
are too!:)
A DELIGHTFUL surprise happened at the
#DOOL
studio-On my 1st day, I was introduced to
#BillHayes
I reached to shake his hand & he warmly held mine and SANG "When the RED RED ROBIN goes bob bob bobbing..."etc
#SusanSeaforthHayes
smiled-She knows her husband is so sweet & jazzy:)
I have always known since joining
#Twitter
in April 2011 that everyone who followed me had a loyalty & deep affection for
#OneLifeToLive
& yes, they like my portrayal of
#Dorian
on that wonderful show. I have always been grateful to each and everyone of you-Always! Always will...
Never watched my own performances-Never did-Never will. I'm self-critical-hard on myself-so really there's no win in my watching but YOU? THAT's a different story! Let's show them what loyal steadfast fans can do to ratings of 1 of the 4

KILLING
#TheLastSoapInNYC
I'll discuss my disgust but let's not toss F-bombs-
#SoapFans
are still mourning
@GenieFrancis
Genie your work has always been very special-having strength & delicacy-dichotomies revealed in simplicity and grounded work...I'm not just jumping into the fray as another actor-I'm a grateful fan-your work has always mattered-so thank you:) Onward!
but I worked through & with the fear & discovered the JOY I've always felt when given the opportunity to ACT!
#Days
said "Do it YOUR way" (ok...) I plopped on wild wigs-donned fab costumes-worked w/gorgeous pros-WHAT A GIFT! I'm so grateful-TY! Good things ARE worth waiting for:)
I always wear a cute outfit & a jaunty hat when I go to
#COSTCO
because even when wearing a mask I still get recognized as "the actor best known for playing Dorian on
#OLTL
":) Cancelled 10 years ago & not forgotten?:)
#SoapFans
abide...Thank you Fan/Friends
Stay safe & well:) XOX
#YoungAndTheRestless
has been honoring
#KristoffStJohn
all this week...the cast has understandably been brilliant in portraying the pain & poignancy of losing a beloved. Tomorrow
#theTALK
is dedicating the show to this beautiful man's career-his personal struggles & loss. RIP KSJ
DEFUNCT means no longer existing or functioning-Don't call

a "defunct"

it's not! As long as

#ABCTV
on 1/13/12-was on a FRIDAY. A good friend called to tell me that day would be the final show-I said "That's Friday the 13th-do you think they realized that?" She said "Maybe, they didn't care." Here it is 10 yrs later-people still care-TY:)
AFTER 11 years of not "following" anyone, I now follow
@OLTLMemories
because
#OLTL
's pretty much always on my mind. I'm sure I'm not alone in remembering the show with great fondness tinged with a sense of loss. Celebrate our connection-It means a lot to all of us- TY:) TY:) TY:)
I had my proof of vaccination laminated-I keep it in my US Passport. I'm fortunate to have both. I will continue to wear a mask in public-You may feel differently, but I feel mask wearing shows respect for others-Stay well-so someday we can get together for a huge group hug!
When

pic; I asked her "What did I say? blondes on one side of me-brunettes on the left ha ha?" She answered "Yes, you did-you did exactly that!" I miss
#OLTL
so much-& I miss all those talented women:) doing what I tell them;-)
Working with
@KassieDePaiva

I loved her-

thought she owned her-Lines got blurry but:
it was a JOY!
I felt so GR8 this day at

Look at who came to visit Sunday!🥹 Robin & her friend John! Robin & I got all misty eyed when she met Kiera!🥲 Robin is such a special person in my life, it means so much to me that we’re as close as we are.❤️ A great day of laughs & a yummy brunch!

I WOKE up this morning-SO grateful to be in this lovely Shaker Heights, Ohio USA house I now live in. The garden was carefully planted years ago-It has a water feature that flows into a small pond. Got it all up & running 2 days ago-2 frogs have already moved in:)

All praise to

I ask the question: (They have my telephone number) what would I like
#ABCTV
to call me about? Easy-MAYBE they'd want me to play

Describing
#JudithLight
's work "iconic" is inadequate. It's a MASTERclass in the
#ARTofActing
. No one's delivered a performance like it-not before-not since. It
delivers today as strongly as it did all those years ago.
#OLTLcast
w/faces you'll always remember can be seen here too
#OnThisDay
in 1979, in one of daytimes most iconic scenes, Karen admitted to being a prostitute while on the witness stand during Viki's trial. This scene would win Judith Light her first Daytime Emmy in 1980 for Lead Actress

@JudithLight
THAT SMILE!
#StephenMarkle
had a light inside him-He really smiled like this when he came to rehearsal-knowing his lines-eager to do the work! He made us all who worked with him. happy. I'm sad for his family's loss-but also for the audiences, he'd have been a BADASS to the end:)
sorry-NO ONE can compare w/

#ProspectPark
thought

should be made trendy-younger-more exciting-Well, I'm a foodie & former

THANK YOU everyone for sending birthday good wishes-I got too emotional to

#TucWatkins

#OLTL
always had interesting actors-edgy & atypical. It was a great group
to work with...I miss that
Mr. Stacey wanted to know why JFP couldn't
fire me. NETWORKS research why FANS tune into shows. When an actor has so may loyal fans they become bullet-proof. She couldn't "kill" me but made concerted efforts to get me to quit-My work life became SO TOXIC-I did-it broke my heart:(

Talented beyond words
