Daniel Goddard has been having all kinds of reunions since joining General Hospital as the nefarious Professor Dalton. But now that he’s reunited with a former fictional family member from The Young and the Restless, Goddard reveals things may be less than friendly between the two.
Key Takeaways
- Genie Francis and Daniel Goddard played mother and son on Y&R.
- On GH, Francis plays the legacy character Laura, while Goddard plays newcomer Professor Dalton.
- Goddard reunited with Francis on the GH set and teased their upcoming storyline.
A TV Legend
Goddard took to Instagram to share a selfie of him with GH legend Genie Francis (Laura).
“Reunited and it feels so good. Genie Francis – a true TV legend – was my TV mom on The Young and the Restless, and now I have the honor and fortune of working with her again on General Hospital,” Goddard wrote before teasing, “Only this time…maybe she’s my nemesis?”
From 2011-2012, Francis played Genevieve, mother to Goddard Cane and wife to the late Tristan Rogers’ Colin. Of course, many long-time GH viewers knew Francis and Rogers as Laura and Robert in Port Charles.
The comments were flooded with fans praising Francis, agreeing with Goddard’s statement. “Great shot. With the legend!!!” one wrote, while another said, “She’s a queen! Great photo @thedanielgoddard, love having you on GH!!”
Many admitted they had forgotten Francis was on Y&R at one time. “I don’t remember Genie on The Young and the Restless!” a fan wrote, while another remembered, “Oh, that’s right! I totally forgot Genie and Tristan were your parents!”
When Goddard asked his followers where they think Dalton’s storyline is headed, some lent their theories. “Yeah your character is going down a slippery slope,” one fan commented.
Finally, one fan topped things off with a simple, “Genevieve Atkinson,” along with a heart eyes emoji.
General Hospital spoilers for November 7 tease that Laura’s mayoral campaign suffers a setback after her recent interaction with Sidwell (Carlo Rota). And as we all know, Sidwell is working closely with both Dalton and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud), making them both enemies by association.
