Genevieve Delatour, "An Ideal Husband"

Genevieve Delatour (previously Hudson), born as Eunice Mudge, is one of the main characters of Devious Maids. She is the rich, emotionally unstable boss of Zoila, and mother of Remi. For years she's survived off her looks, marrying many rich men and living a life of luxury, but this also comes with much heartbreak, which she would not have been able to get through had it not been for Zoila, who over time, has become her rock. Despite her cliché Beverly Hills herris appearance, there is more to Genevieve than what meets the eye: she has a heart, and simply wants the best for those she cares for.

Biography[]

Early Life[]

Born in 1953 as Eunice Mudge, her mother, Velma, was married to a man who ended up dying in the Korean War. Eunice grew up with a working mother, who finally eventually remarried. Eunice witnessed her mother date/marry numerous men throughout her childhood, one of which fathered her half-brother, Henri. Velma eventually stayed single and went back to working to take care of her children, doing everything she could to put clothes on their backs and a roof over their heads. ("Minding the Baby", "The Visit") Since she was three years old, Eunice preferred to look for stylish, and cared more about her looks than anything else, something Velma didn't necessarily approve of, or think was 'cute'. ("Long Day's Journey Into Night") At the age of six, Eunice had a weight problem, and Velma would joke about her being "the butterball express", something her daughter did not enjoy. ("The Visit") It took until she was seven years of age for Eunice to learn that most mothers don't belittle their own children, and so she started feeling guilty that there was something wrong with herself. ("Long Day's Journey Into Night") At the age of sixteen, Eunice dented the fender of Velma's Pontiac, resulting in the latter paying $46 to repair the car, and from that day forward to believe her daughter was entirely unable to drive. ("Long Day's Journey Into Night") Genevieve has cousins in Oklahoma, a part of her family that she detests. ("The Visit")

Genevieve EL 112
Genevieve and her second husband. ("Getting Out the Blood")

That same year, Eunice decided to run away from home to Los Angeles to "reinvent herself", where she took the name "Genevieve", something she first heard in a romance novel. She also forced her brother to change his name to Henri, something Velma did not approve of, as she believed her children were not allowed to be ashamed of her, especially after all she went through for them. ("The Visit", "Long Day's Journey Into Night") Years later, after a previous failed marriage, Genevieve meets and marries Philippe Delatour, and together they have a son by the name of Remi. It can be assumed that it was during their marriage that Genevieve hires her maid, Zoila Diaz, who goes on to become a close friend of hers; Henri also visits during this time, and has a brief romance with Zoila. Genevieve inadvertently ruins things when she introduced Henri to his wife, Cynthia. As he is serial cheater, Philippe ends up buying her an expensive ring as an apology for sleeping with her nutritionist. She throws it at his eye and scratches his cornea, proceeding to give the ring to Zoila in case of a rainy day. Philippe's many affairs, including one with Genevieve's sister, results in the end of his and Genevieve's marriage. ("Wiping Away the Past", "Making Your Bed", "Walking the Dog") At some point in the 1980s, Genevieve accidentally joins a cult, mistaking it for an exercise class. ("The Maid Who Knew Too Much")

Genevieve EL 402
Genevieve's wedding to Peter Hudson. ("Another One Wipes the Dust")

In the 1990s, Genevieve marries to another man - Peter Hudson - who was the youngest of all her husbands. He was in his late 20s while she was in her early 40s, and he was working as a junior executive (which she often mistook as "errand boy"). One night, while he was working, she chatted to his colleague Hugh Metzger at a party. He slipped something in her cocktail and she woke up in his bed the next morning, not realizing that what happened to her was rape. Her marriage to Peter soon ended due to Genevieve "cheating" on him; he walked out on her because of it, but she didn't realize he knew about it and couldn't fathom why he left, hence she was never able to get over him. ("Another One Wipes the Dust", "War and Grease", "Much Ado About Buffing") The last time Genevieve ever eats bread is in 1992. ("Suspicion") During her fourth marriage, both she and her husband were each having affairs, often never spending the night at home, thus meaning Zoila never had to make the bed in the morning. ("Whiplash") As two more husbands come and go, with her fifth husband turning out to be gay, Genevieve starts to become a careless mother to Remi. With no one else by her side, her maid, Zoila, starts to become her 'rock', as the only person she knows won't leave her. ("Walking the Dog", "Scrambling the Eggs", "Blood, Sweat and Smears") Genevieve went through menopause during the Clinton Administration - in the second term. ("Minding the Baby") At the age of six, Genevieve attempted to teach Remi how to ride a bike, but when he kept falling, she became so frustrated that she broke down into tears. Remi assured Genevieve not to worry about it, and for her to go inside; he'd learn how to ride by himself. ("Taking a Message")

In the year 2012, Genevieve sees Velma for the last time before cutting off contact with her; Velma believes it's because her daughter doesn't want her around her "rich and snobby" friends. ("The Visit") At one point during Zoila's time as Genevieve's maid, she is asked by her boss to provide her with shampoo whilst in the shower. To her surprise, however, Genevieve wasn't alone. After giving her the shampoo, Zoila spends the next hour waiting for Genevieve and the man to come out; all she can think about is that she's the one who has to clean the mess up. ("Pilot") At different points in her life, Genevieve has had plastic surgery, including the likes of her eyes, a lift, and filler. ("Since You Went Away") Genevieve starts developing a crush for her gardener, Abundio, since the first time he trimmed her hibiscus. ("Setting the Table") She briefly dates her poolboy, Jamal, who ends up breaking up with her when ashamed to introduce her to his friends. This sends Genevieve into depression, and leads her to trying to commit suicide by swallowing a bottle of pills. ("Pilot")

Genevieve Delatour, "Setting the Table"
Genevieve 101
Genevieve's suicide attempt goads her son into moving home. ("Pilot")

With Genevieve having attempted suicide via overdosing, Valentina summons Remi to the house so that he and Zoila can help convince her to come out from under the bed and get herself to a hospital, with her revealing to them that she was dating the pool boy Jamal and that he broke up with her because he was embarrassed to introduce her to his friends, having said that she looks like she's 40. However, it is Valentina herself who ends up convincing her employer that she has something to live for when she suggests that Remi stay at home and simply commute to school. Genevieve is thrilled, not even knowing how to start being depressed with her son around, and when he promises to stay with her she decides that she'll go to the hospital after all, though she wants to put her makeup on first to avoid scaring the nurses. Later, Genevieve tells Zoila about her new therapist, whom she claims is a genius because he could tell she needed to be on mood stabilizers within five minutes of meeting her. Zoila is surprised that it took him this long to figure it out and, with the rich old woman gone with her maid, Valentina takes the opportunity to flirt with Remi, who, to Zoila's chagrin, she has long since had a crush on. ("Pilot")

Genevieve 102
Genevieve agrees to help Valentina win over Remi. ("Setting the Table")

Remi has his friend Glen over and, when Genevieve makes embarrassing comments such as saying that she always thought Glen was gay, Remi reminds his mother of the rule they have where she doesn't speak when he has company. She proceeds to leave, allowing Valentina to approach Remi and bond with him over a shared love of old movies. Zoila hates this, wanting for there to be boundaries between her daughter and her employer's son, but Valentina actively disobeys her mother when she approaches Remi and his friends at the movies and ends up spending time with them. They don't know she's Remi's maid though, and so Zoila takes it upon herself to make sure they find out; she goes to Genevieve and points out how bored Remi must be outside of the frat house. Genevieve subsequently decides to host a party for Remi and his friends, wanting her son to have fun, and Zoila further points out that she doesn't have to worry about a caterer because she and Valentina can take care of everything. When Remi's friends see that Valentina is a maid, she is humiliated, and later Genevieve finds her crying. Knowing this kind of cry all too well, she surmises that Valentina is in love and, when she learns that Remi is the one she is in love with, she is thrilled. She decides that she will help the young couple to get together, but promises not to let Zoila find out. ("Setting the Table")

Genevieve 103
Genevieve rests after being attacked by a dog. ("Wiping Away the Past")

Zoila is ushered out of the house by Genevieve, who wants her to go pick up a jar of face cream, which means that Valentina is able to head over to Remi's college dorm and help him move the rest of his stuff. Zoila is shocked that Valentina did this and comes to realize that Genevieve helped set it up, sending her into a fury about how the two of them are now going behind her back. Genevieve champions the idea of young love, but Zoila remains steadfast in the belief that rich boys don't end up with maids. Genevieve realizes that this is because of something that happened in the past, and Zoila replies that "he" made promises to her, and she remembers every single one of them. She then says that Genevieve is to tell Remi that he can't see Valentina anymore, deciding that she and her daughter will be taking a few days off. Remi hears the fight and wonders what it's about, and Genevieve explains how, years ago, Zoila fell in love with her brother, Henri. She now has to go over and apologize, but she ends up at the wrong house and a loud dog startles her into falling into some bushes. Her wrist is sprained, but she is fine; however, at the hospital, Remi tells Valentina that the two of them should cool their relationship since it's causing so much tension between their mothers. When Genevieve is home, Henri calls to ask how she is doing; Zoila lies and says that she's not doing so well, so as to have an excuse to invite Henri over... ("Wiping Away the Past")

Genevieve 104
Henri may be Genevieve's brother, but she sees Zoila as her sister. ("Making Your Bed")

Henri arrives in Beverly Hills, to Genevieve's surprise, but she happily welcomes him while in the meantime he starts to get reacquainted with Zoila. Valentina starts to notice this, and so she goes to Genevieve and asks to know all about her mother's relationship with Henri. As such, when Zoila returns home, Valentina confronts her, concluding that the reason her mother won't let her be with Remi is because she fears that history will repeat itself. She wonders why she would end up with her second choice just because Zoila did, but Zoila assures that she loves Valentina's father, even if she might take him for granted sometimes. Valentina asks if her mother believes she ended up with the love of her life, and Zoila says that she did, and so Valentina requests that she let her end up with the love of hers. Zoila goes on to speak with Genevieve and tell her that she's decided to butt out of her daughter's love life. She then bursts into tears and says that if Henri comes back, she doesn't want to be there. She knows Genevieve doesn't want to hear that because he's her brother, but, as Genevieve points out, Zoila is her sister. ("Making Your Bed")

Genevieve 106
"It's time to find Husband #7." ("Walking the Dog")

Zoila returns along with Genevieve from Armani, only to learn from Valentina that the gardeners are refusing to work because their checks bounced. Genevieve finds this terribly strange, wanting to get into contact with her business manager Myron Moyer to see what's happened, but it seems he's skipped the country and taken all of her money with him, meaning she no longer has a cent to her name - she believes this to be the end of the world. Michael, as Genevieve's lawyer in this case, comes over and explains that Myron cannot be arrested because he fled to Brunei, with whom America has no extradition treaty. Genevieve isn't doing as good as a result; Zoila tries giving her an expensive ring that her employer gifted her ten years prior, but Genevieve refuses to take it, wanting to be smart and find a way to sort out her own finances. She decides to go to her ex-husband, Philippe Delatour, so that she can get money out of him, appealing to his sense of guilt after he cheated on her so many times. When she goes to visit, he is aware that she is broke and in need of money, and he offers her a million dollar painting... in exchange for one last sexual encounter. Genevieve refuses to debase herself just to pay a few bills, which Zoila is very proud of; the maid begins listing off ways Genevieve can be responsible for herself from now on, but this merely makes Genevieve want to bite the bullet and sleep with Philippe after all. With her finances temporarily sated, Genevieve still refuses to take Zoila's ring, though she does have another plan to regain her riches: she's going to do what she's always done. "It's time to find husband number seven." ("Walking the Dog")

Genevieve 108
Genevieve introduces her new fiancé. ("Minding the Baby")

Zoila and Valentina welcome Genevieve home, having learned that, while out on her cruise, she managed to secure a new fiancé: Alfred Pettigrove. He is 76 and rich, and Genevieve lied to him saying that she's 39. Zoila wonders if the man is stupid to think that this is her employer's real age, but then he enters the house, revealing himself to be blind. The maids aren't comfortable maintaining the lie over dinner, especially when Alfred announces that Genevieve has agreed to bear him a child, and Zoila asks her how that's supposed to work. Genevieve reveals that she'll pretend to find out she's barren and then adopt an orphan, but Zoila doesn't like the idea of a kid being brought into this. Genevieve believes herself to be a wonderful mother, but this is only because nobody's told her that Remi is really in rehab, and Valentina stops her mother from doing so when she almost throws this in Genevieve's face. Zoila later accidentally spills the beans when she reveals that Genevieve's father died during the Korean war in the 50s, and Alfred demands to know his fiancée's real age. Once he does, he leaves her, and Zoila tries apologizing to her boss but points out that it's for the best because Genevieve was lying about being in love with him anyway. However, Genevieve assures that she liked Alfred for more than just his money, while Valentina tends to the old man as he prepares to move out. Their conversation leads to Afred agreeing stay with Genevieve if they can use a surrogate to bear them a child... but he wants to use Valentina's eggs to make the baby. ("Minding the Baby")

Genevieve 109
Genevieve leaves Alfred, to care for her son. ("Scrambling the Eggs")

Zoila is sat down by Genevieve, who's ordered sandwiches for the occasion. She proceeds to explain that Alfred has decided not to leave her and that the two of them are going to use a surrogate to bear them a child... but they still need eggs, and they don't want to use a stranger's. Zoila thinks that her employer is about to ask for one of her eggs, but in fact Genevieve and Alfred want Valentina's, and Zoila is even more disgusted. She refuses to allow Valentina to hear a word about this, but Alfred proceeds to convince her away. Zoila goes to Genevieve and orders her to talk Valentina out of it, but Genevieve wonders what the problem is, finally learning that Zoila fears the idea of her grandchild having her as a mother. Genevieve argues that Remi turned out beautifully, but Zoila points out that he's got problems that she can't even see, then finally admitting to her that her son has been using again and is in rehab. Genevieve realizes that she can't have another child while her existing one is in distress, and so she decides to go and visit him to show her support. Before she does, she talks Valentina out of the deal and Alfred says that he must leave her. He points out that she doesn't seem too sad to see him go, but Genevieve announces that it's not about her anymore. Meanwhile, Zoila decides to sell the ring Genevieve gave her to pay for Valentina's tuition. ("Scrambling the Eggs")

Genevieve 110
Genevieve agrees to have dinner with her ex. ("Hanging the Drapes")

Valentina is worried that Remi might be mad at her as she, Zoila and Genevieve prepare to welcome him home from rehab. Zoila tells her daughter that if he's mad at her for doing the right thing then he's too stupid to love; luckily, when Remi returns along with his father Philippe, he approaches Valentina and he thanks her for saving his life, then kissing her. He and Valentina finally attempt a relationship, and when Valentina fears she'll only be seen as a maid to Remi, Zoila convinces her to quit working for Genevieve. Meanwhile, Philippe approaches his ex-wife and invites her out to dinner with him. Genevieve is suspicious of his intentions but ultimately agrees, though she does promise to stab him in the neck with her fork should he spend his time staring at a pretty waitress. The two of them, along with Remi and Valentina, later attend a party hosted by the Stappords who announce that they are pregnant. Celebrations are had, but this goes interrupted when Michael's former wife, Olivia Rice, is seen having hanged herself outside of his home, trying to kill herself. ("Hanging the Drapes")

Genevieve 111
Philippe and Genevieve announce they're getting remarried. ("Cleaning Out the Closet")

Genevieve is startled when Zoila arrives in the middle of the night, and the latter soon realizes that her employer has a man over. She wonders who it is she's sleeping with, and then she's shocked to discover that it's Philippe Delatour, her ex-husband who's also a serial cheater. Zoila reminds her boss of all that he put her through, only for Genevieve to reveal that it's too late because she's already fallen back in love with him. In order to prove that he's still his old self, Zoila has her friend Margo Grayson pretend to be dropping off some wine for him; she flirts a little and Philippe ends up giving her his personal number, just like Zoila knew he would. Genevieve and Philippe have an announcement to make though, and Valentina is the only one to cheer when the two of them reveal that they're getting remarried. Zoila refuses to toast because a toast is a blessing and she will not bless this man. She tells Genevieve about Margo, but later, Zoila is surprised to hear that Genevieve plans on going through with the wedding; she wonders how she's supposed to work there knowing that Philippe is hurting her friend, but Genevieve tells her to not care as much, leading Zoila to realize that her boss wants her to just shut up and do her job. ("Cleaning Out the Closet")

Genevieve 112
Evelyn is convinced to host the Delatours' engagement party. ("Getting Out the Blood")

Zoila has the maids over where they go about discussing the events currently taking place in their lives, but Zoila is called away by Genevieve who reveals she's found a gray hair. Zoila wonders what the relevance of this is, but she then states that it's in her wig, leaving her very confused. Later, Genevieve meets with Evelyn Powell, who she asks to host her and Philippe's engagement party, as they'd rather not have it at home with all the current family drama going on. Evelyn reluctantly agrees to host the party before going on to ask about her friend's sex life, wondering if the passion is still there or if things are merely comfortable, as she is currently experiencing problems in her own sex life with her husband Adrian. Genevieve explains that Philippe is insatiable, making Evelyn very jealous, and soon she starts working on dividing her and her husband's assets, believing she deserves better than Mr. Powell. Meanwhile, Zoila convinces Remi to leave for Africa without telling Valentina or Genevieve. ("Getting Out the Blood")

Genevieve 113
Genevieve's engagement party ends with a splash. ("Totally Clean")

As Genevieve continues the preparations for her wedding, word soon gets out that Remi has left for Africa, as Zoila delivers she and Valentina handwritten notes explaining his departure. They remain oblivious as to why Remi left without telling them, and Zoila continues to go along with the ruse of not knowing. Meanwhile, Philippe is now being suspected by Marisol Duarte as Flora Hernandez's killer, and so he wishes to flee the country with Genevieve, preferably Brunei where they lack an extradition treaty. They agree to have their engagement party at the Powells, then elope and leave for their extensive honeymoon. At the party, Zoila is among the maids who band together to expose Philippe, and so Zoila works to keep Genevieve away from her soon-to-be-husband(-again) as Marisol gets Philippe alone. During the party, Genevieve converses with Evelyn and Adrian some, and even gets a few words in to the crowd. Carmen "accidentally" spills a tray of drinks on her dress though, causing Zoila to take her aside to clean her up. She later becomes desperate to find Philippe as they need to get ready to leave, but remains oblivious to the fact that Marisol is currently confronting him, but when she fails, the Powells wind up murdering him themselves, but make it out to be suicide. Upon poisoning him, Adrian shoves him out the window where he lands in the pool, right before Genevieve who lets out a horrific scream upon the sight. ("Totally Clean")

Genevieve is very hurt by these comments and goes to Rosie for assurance that what Marisol said isn't true; however, Rosie is too busy convincing Miguel to apologize for those he wronged if he wants to make things right at school, which Genevieve takes onboard for herself. As such, she turns up at Marisol's and says she's sorry, explaining that she gets a little crazy when it comes to Peter because she never wanted to break up with him, having only cheated on him by accident. Marisol wonders how that works and Genevieve explains that she blacked out after half a cocktail while talking to one of his colleagues at a party, and the next thing she knew she was waking up in his bed. Marisol says that one doesn't black out after half a cocktail, theorizing that perhaps this man slipped something into Genevieve's drink, which Genevieve herself always wondered about. Marisol tells Genevieve that what happened to her was rape. Genevieve never thought of it this way because nobody called it that back then; and besides, nobody would believe her if she claimed such a big Hollywood name raped her. Marisol believes her though, and won't breathe a word, though she does wish to know who the rapist was. Genevieve reveals it was Hugh Metzger. ("Much Ado About Buffing")

Genevieve 410
Genevieve decides that, after all her husbands, she needs a wife. ("Grime and Punishment")

Genevieve decides to go to therapy following the revelation that she was in fact raped by Hugh Metzger and, in the waiting room, she meets a fellow Beverly Hills socialite by the name of Lori. She is there because she's getting over a two-year-old break up, which Genevieve can relate to, having carried a torch for Peter for twenty years. The two of them bond over the complementary champagne and when Lori hears Genevieve's full story, she calls Peter a real "a-hole" for leaving her after she was raped without bothering to hear what she had to say. Men behaving in such a way makes Lori glad she's a lesbian, which Genevieve is surprised to hear, though she soon understands the appeal when Lori lists off all the perks. Soon enough, Genevieve's appointment is ready, but she no longer needs it because chatting with Lori has been therapeutic enough. Later, Peter meets with Genevieve who wants to relay what an "a-hole" he is. While she finally accepts that things are over between them, she thinks it's wrong of him to toss Marisol aside the way he did with her, which he is currently doing, and convinces him not to let go of another great love. Later, after Spence's name is cleared and Zoila is fired by her new boss Fiona, Genevieve's old maid returns to her in need of her job back, and Genevieve is only too happy to oblige. She gives her her keys back, and makes her promise to hold onto them. However, they set a new rule that neither of them can meddle in one another's lives anymore, meaning Zoila does not question Genevieve's date with Lori. The rich woman points out that after all her failed husbands, maybe what she needs now is a wife, and Zoila is surprised by the news. ("Grime and Punishment")

Later Life[]

A year after their meeting, Genevieve and Lori are married. However, Genevieve is still as lonely and delusional as she used to. As she misses men, Genevieve decides to cheat on Lori, despite Zoila trying to save their marriage. Eventually, Lori ends their relationship and Genevieve is okay with it, while Zoila is saddened because she was close to Lori.[3]
