I thought Stockholm syndrome would make the story make sense, but then they stayed married for 20 years and he left her saying their marriage was worn out??? After acting like their marriage was meant to be for 20 years?? Crazy. I was hoping she would have gotten therapy and left Luke, perhaps remarried the first husband.

    They were going to write Luke out after this but the audience LOVED the chemistry of Luke/Laura (Tony/Genie) so they rewrote it and kept him on and made theirs a love story.

    I find it so comforting that actors like Genie and Jackie and Tony played it out on those stages of General Hospital for over forty years. Each leaving for a time but back they came and picked their beloved character back up. I am devastated about the death of Jackie. She has played such a good storyline these past few months and with all her old castmates and the rich history they have had. I miss Luke's character. I know that Luke moved on as Laura did after their time together but we are comforted to know that they loved each other as much as ever. The love just changed a little. This scene was chief's kiss good.

    Thankfully, these stories are fluid and evolve at a whim, or because of letters from fans. Because there's no way he was that brutal with her and she ends up so in love with him that the TV world is shook to its very core by the power and grandure of their love. Luke and Laura are HISTORIC. They were bigger than Romeo and Juliet. There's not been a story like that before or since.
    No one could have imagined that these two star-crossed lovers (and she did want him) would end up breaking records of viewership. Their wedding was THE MOST watched daytime show EVER with 30 million viewers! Their story was amazing!

    I'm glad he admitted it to Bobbie instead of denying or minimizing it. He had his reasons (in his own mind) for forcing himself on Laura, yet he also knew it was wrong. His interaction with Laura when he brought her flowers afterwards in the hospital spoke volumes of denial from both of them. Some time later, Laura told Luke that she had wanted him back then, but she never said she wanted him by force. The storyline was difficult.

    • @bobbylee_
      @bobbylee_ Год назад +17

      All Luke ever did was minimize it. He was drunk, he found out about the hit on his life and knew he’d be dead soon so he had to have her before he died. Years later when they spoke on it after Lucky learned the truth, Luke said “when it was over”which is him using distancing language from his actions. Laura immediately corrected him and said “you mean when you were done”. He then said “when I was done”

      It’s pretty messed up. They took on the issue of rape and really did a amazing job at first. But then dropped the ball. And I get the complexities, especially with the issue of date and marital rape but that wasn’t the case here. One Life to Live ended up doing a terrible job with a storyline dealing with the subject matter too. I will say they did a better job with the characters of Lucky and Lulu when they learned the truth. That was more realistic.

    I 'm glad he admitted it to Bobbie instead of denying or minimizing it. He had his reasons for forcing himself on Laura, yet he also knew it was wrong. His interaction with Laura when he brough her flowers afterwords in the hospital spoke volumes of denial from both of them. Some time later, Laura told Luke that she wanted him back than, but she never said she wanted him by force. The storyline was difficult I don't know how so many people were okay with turning this character in to a hero .

    Loved this show especially the Rick Weber/Monica Quartermaine story line…I was team Scotty and abhorred Luke. I remember the Cassidines, Elizabeth Taylor and “the left handed boy”! For years, anytime I heard the “rape song” in a club I wanted to throw up…Christopher Cross cleaned it up with “Longer than….”
