- This is part 5 of L&L from the beginning of what I have 79-80. This section is all taken from a soap net special airing of this episode. I was not sure I would post the infamous scenes.. but other places on you tube you get it piece meal and you really need to see what was going on with them before and immediately afterwards. Please forgive me if you are offended. Just decided that I was posting the whole story or none of it. This will be easier to follow from the L&L 79-80 playlist on this channel. www.youtube.com...

This will go down as the single most important scene in daytime history. It single handedly saved GH from cancellation, turned the show into a monster and set the table for a long run of game changing moments during Monty's run.
This is my 3rd or 4th go around with these videos. And they're still amazing. ❤️
Me too! I go back too - often to the ' sticky door' era. So glad I found these videos - big thanks again @sussezq :)
mine too!!
@@shannonm.4087 I think this is far more than 20 for me; no joke!! LOL!! At work I put it on all day, even I just listen sometimes. : )
I'm still watching. I go chronologically, with occasional bounces to other playlists. I had a desire to watch a bunch of the 2008, but never all the way through. I believe Sue and I have about the same stopping point there. I just felt like watching this again to remind myself about the intensity of the characters. This was some intense stuff! But, I'm like all of you on here, I watch LnL daily.
I joined in 2008, it's my retirement plan.
I agree, TG and GF chemistry was insane from the first scene they shared together.
I also agree with you over30 Million times . I do agree and no nobody will ever see two actors this epically great ever again. On any day time soap opera ever JMVHO. Thank you Rosie out! But never silent!
Back when you could remember a phone 📱 number 😂
No stupid cell phones either
What so many forget is the build up to this moment. Why do so many ppl forget that at this point we all were watching GH because the chemistry between Luke & Laura was insane!! At this point it was case of not "If" it would happen but "When"! The reason every wman fell in love Luke this HOT afternoon, is cause we knew Laura wanted Luke, just as much Luke wanted her. But, you just knew when she looked at Luke she felt guilty for wanting him.
god I miss these shows. I wish they would play the old reruns again. 📺
Yes I also wish to. Boy I stay up plus watch whatever they have. Thanks Rosie
Me too!

Life before cell phones.....
Better
Scotty would've texted her why he was running late...potentially avoiding this outcome.
Suss I have to say I feel like I know you and some other posters so I want to share this. In 1983 my dad was watching GH. He had for about two years and I would see it with him after school. He told me how cool he thought Robert and Luke were...such began my Scorpio obsession lol. Anyway both my parents died last year and getting to see these makes me feel closer to them. So thank you and Merry Christmas! !
Hi I’am so sorry about both of your parents May They Rest In Peace Always. May they both be together in our Lords arms. Yes I loved GH when the whole gang was together. Thank you Rosie
My 50 year old daughter tells me, "Mom watching those characters brings you back to a happy, comfortable time in your life. There's nothing wrong watching them , in fact I find them fascinating going back to 1979-1980 seeing families who support each other emotionally. TV today is horrible, riots, virus, people locking away from there families."
I don't think I have seen the kind of chemistry TG and GF shared in any other actor and actress pairing-movies or tv.
I sure never did movie or tv no never. I bet they still can. JMHO. Rosie out.
Fitz and Olivia on Scandal. Trust me.
Bo and Hope ❤️
Jack and Jennifer
Mulder and Scully on X-files...think Luke and Laura plus 👽
I dont' think we have forgotten. I just am not sure I agree. I know Luke loved laura from the moment he saw her... and Laura sure had feelings for him, but I am not sure it was love yet. She was very torn about her feelings for Scott. She gave luke all kinds of signals, but wasn't willing to admit it to herself. So though she may have felt it, she never admitted it, to herself or anyone else. That is what made it so complicated and interesting.
Thank you dear Susezq you put that beautifully together wow. I just love it please if you get the chance read mine I just wrote it . Thank you please tell me what you think? Thank you Rosie
In my case I just remember asking my Mom........When the hell are L&L going to give in to their feelings!? I asked this before "Night At The Disco".
BACK WHEN THE TELEPHONE WAS JUST THE TELEPHONE
This is art ,no mater the subject matter and this scene is Gone With the Wind level,executed brilliantly, by artist who cared about their craft. And the chemistry between these 2 is Vivienne Leigh ,Clark Gable level,they deserved every praise for this body of work. It was beautiful and Tony Geary, was passionate and crazy sexy ( and he still is sexy ). Even the experienced actress/movie star , Elizabeth Taylor noticed this and helped herself to Mr Gearys love for real and no one can blame her
Haha so true. Interesting you mention comparisons to Gone With The Wind. I thought Luke and Laura’s first real kiss was the same level of sensuality and 🔥🔥🔥 as the one in that movie between Scarlett and Rhett. But also later on Rhett forces himself on Scarlett during an argument, and she wakes up the next day in a very good mood like he’s just rocked her world.
@@user-ve5ln5le9y These actors were ,especially Anthony Geary who's older and gifted,from a period where good training was a must, when you put an onscreen couple together,of whatever age group, or cross age groups,they should have chemistry or the scene, no matter how naked the couple, becomes boring. If you look at Genie Francis during the Lovers on the run storyline, I think she was 18 barely, but she was talented and skilled enough to project older and step up to the intense scenes, so that the much older Luke didn't come off as gross, theat was helped also by AG's talent. On today's show the real young teen actors , they're okay,some better than others, with training etc, the actress that plays Trina is quite good ,,but for example the blond actress that plays Joss, don't think she at 17?? has the depth to pull off a modern Luke/Laura type story, without Luke coming off as full on perv, again Genie Francis who was also blond, as a teenwas able to pull off this huge story and today when given a good sl, still can.
Man the original Lulu (teenage years) looked exactly like Genie in this year’s. She was the perfect cast for Laura’s daughter.
WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THIS CLIP THAT HASN'T BEEN SAID BEFORE... IT WAS SAD FOR BOTH OF THEM AND YET IT CHANGED THE DIRECTION OF THEIR STORY FOR EVER. LUKE'S LOWEST POINT IN HIS LIFE CAUSED HIM TO DO SOMETHING THAT HE WOULD NEVER OF DONE. PLUS THE STORY LINE FOR LUKE'S CHARACTER WAS TO BE KILLED OFF. THAT ENDING WAS CHANGED AT THE LAST MINUTE AFTER ANOTHER ACTOR LEFT FOR A NIGHT TIME SHOW.
(BY ROY, AND WERE KEEPING LUKE ) IT'S JUST SHOW BUSINESS.
This is my 3rd time around viewing .Laura should have left when Luke asked her several times to leave .knowing Luke was in a bad way she continued to stay..she wanted him to just wouldn’t admit it.
I know, if we wanted to be pedantic and count the amount of times he told her to leave, not to mention previous occasions when he was warning her (and asking her to quit her job) that this could occur she still wouldn't leave.
watching from the beginning again. Love these thank you again for positn
You are absolutely correct! It quickly had to be rewritten as a seduction, which you can see here it was not, but as Genie herself notes in an Oprah interview it was more like date rape which was not even a term used then. While we could never condone what Luke did, knowing the story, we could understand what happened, why it happened, and how she could love this very flawed man since she was so flawed herself.
Laura came across Luke at a very bad time.He had been drinking,and knew he had to kill Mitch,and was going to die himself.He tried to get Laura to leave,but she wouldn't.She was determined to help him!I think Luke got lost in his feelings for Laura,and couldn't help himself.I don't think he even realized how bad it was until he saw Laura's clothes on the floor,and then it was like a bucket of cold water was thrown in his face and he realized what he had done.
☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻THIS. He was immediately remorseful and wracked with guilt over what he’d done to his secret angel. Powerful stuff.
@@user-ve5ln5le9y 💯
TG and GF shouldn't have to explain the storyline. They are just actors.
Yes actors who between the both of them tell a story. There deep sweet love tells a story all by itself. The Love they have the pain the secretariat they kept hidden. All the people who they tried to protect from the evil people who tried to destroy there town in PC. The hero’s that were never mentioned...and the love between two who knew no bounds. For there family , friends and most of all each other Luke and his Laura. That my friends and fans is the STORY.. thanks Rosie
Yes thank you K MacLau you are so right they are just actors performing for us to watch. That here is great acting because it’s so damn believable oh God so magnificent. They make our hearts soar into another time and place. Thank so very much for your inbounding and dedication. Thank you Susezq. God bless. Love. Rosie
@Holden2003hr I understand. Art really is a very important part of life, and L&L are important to many of us on a plane very far away from fictional television. I am so glad you find comfort in them, and the channel. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year! xo
This was the biggest episodes ever on day time. The song Rise made it special.
I know every time I hear Rise-Herb Albert I think of this scene with Luke & Laura! I loved that song too!
Gloria Monty, the producer, director of the show saw such chemistry in these two from the get-go. It gave me goosebumps and still does when I started watching these two. I still watch everyday just to see TG. Hence my screen name. Ty for posting.
When I 1st watched the rape scene on this channel I decided to do some research. What I discovered is that no rapist whether it's acquaintance or stranger rape has guilt and regret afterwards. Which makes Luke truly a unique rapist.. He actually loved her and thought he would never get to hold her because he was going to die. Additionally by her behaviors and actions he truly thought that she loved him as much as he loved her.
People who commit SA are truly out of touch with themselves, selfish and immature emotionally. They are not like Luke at all. I know they had to save GH with this s/l but in reality, Luke would have never raped Laura. He is not the type!
I wasn't alive when this aired but I had heard about Luke and Laura and looked them up. They really are amazing together. GH used to be so good, why does it have to suck so much now? They seem to have destroyed every character they have! I dont think they should have made the rape into a seduction, because it was a rape. It was wrong and sick but it was a defining moment in their relationship. Thank you for posting these! I love Luke and Laura!
98245az back in my day that's when gh was good now it sucks.
Just too AWESOME!...Love Luke and Laura!..
@alkarania I think it's hard to undersand from just this... because they had so much history before that night... months of scenes they share that I just don't have....they really were friends. Hence the reason Laura wouldn't leave when he told her to. She cared too much about him to leave him like that... him being drunk, hopeless and finding a way for her to be with him without her being unfaithful to Scott (as he explains it way later when they revisit the rape in 99) just didn't change it.
No thank you for explaining funny Hong is you don’t really have to. The loved that they shared is self explanatory it’s all in there eyes that light of love and deep desire That flames there hearts and there souls forever. Thank you Rosie.
I love hearing about the legend of l&l. Gloria monty really saved the entire genre. She asked tony to come on & he was skeptical about doing a soap & she said " I know I know we are gonna change all that " this story was so popular that they had the big wedding in nov to have our own " royal" wedding like lady di 's. Elizabeth freaking Taylor wanted in. Sammy Davis jr was a big fan. I was just watching the 96 cassadine saga & all the p.c. police are over on the comments I had to correct one person who said " a man must have dreamed this sick fantasy up. The writers are all sick " so I said no actually a woman was in charge of this the great gloria Monty & she's the reason why gh is still around & soaps all benefitted bigtime when they were on their way out. Also I said if u want to blame anyone blame about 30 million fans bc luke was short term & the gh brass was shocked how much the fans went wild for this couple after the rape. They of course caught lightning in a bottle & gave the fans what they wanted. So they had to backtrack a lot but it wasnt like Laura just forgave Luke. Many people defending this said laura was very angry at luke for like a year. That's why I'm hear to watch. What's sicker is in the 90s after todd led a brutal gang rape fans wanted to see Marty & todd have a romance & the head writer was going to do it until the actors refused & threatened to quit. Anyway the beginning if rise was so familiar to me & I guess people already know that it was sampled for biggie a rap song called hypnotize. So herb alpert hit the jackpot twice. This story had him top of the charts & when biggie did hypnotize he got the royalties in the late 90s.
👍🏻👍🏻 I’m 50 and finally getting to watch all this for the first time 2021! Luke and Laura 40 YEARS baby
I went to that Angelfire website to read the transcript between Luke and Laura that there are no videos posted for. So much dialogue between them long before this night that shows the connection and attraction was there for both of them.
If only she would have let Brian pick her up!!
I am back at the beginning again! LOL!!!
Let's be fair about this Luke told Laura to go home several times before the so-called "rape" IF that is what you want to call it. Being a rape victim myself (twice) believe me they don't tell you to leave, told to go home, or give you a chance to get away. They viciously attacked you.
This scene is art ,it is make believe ,but the 2 talented actors made it real . This scene is beautiful ,because of the way it was set up,directed,written,film ed and portrayed. portrayed, it's subject to interpretation and the chemistry between Anthony Geary and Genie Francis was among the best ever seen on screen ever ,Gone with the wind level.. one thing has nothing to do with the other,we all know the suggested act towards the end was deplorable,but again ,this is make believe ,this is art .
I wish there were more episode available leading up to this night.
Go to earlier years playlist here and GHRickandLeslie!
Aww, dial phones...miss those so much...
“GO HOME LAURA”
-Luke Spencer
As I have said before Gothic romance and that secret bound them at first. He asked herto go home.
You are right He asked her to go home twice
@cindyharper6292 exactly 💯 because he did not trust himself around her since he had been drinking and he really thought he was going to die soon. When she forgave him later in the original story It should have been the end of any controversy. Just my thoughts.
@cindyharper6292 Also they were friends first even when I was young I felt that was why they spoke openly about it when they were alone.
@@yvonnecooper5004 Thanks for responding Yvonne It’s nice to have someone to talk to about GH (Luke and Laura) Was a fan in 1979 and just came across this playlist about a month ago I’m really enjoying it
@@cindyharper6292 Sure.
It was easy to re-write history if you want to call it that. We don't know what happened on that floor that night. What we do know is that Laura is the guilt queen. I think it started against her will but maybe she had an orgasm. I mean he certainly wasn't ruff with her by kissing her neck and all as they fell out of frame. The scratches she had came from her run through the park. It's hard to say because when you keep watching these videos and see the kind of denial and avid liar Laura was before and after the "rape/seduction", She's not credible. I love her to pieces though. :-)
I like what you have to say because you're being fair but I also saw Laura's confession.
Laura said NO. I don't care if she said it mid-way to this thing but she said NO. This was absolutely and positively a rape. If she denied it, it was because she felt guilty that she was attracted to him. But, it was rape.
I am a follower of the original storyline and Guza changed what Gloria Monty originally wrote. You have to see Laura's confession to Rick and then Leslie. Everyone in Port Charles knew the truth. Luke later on took Laura on a boat and the truth came out that she was attracted to Luke. When she went to the Port Charles Police department to tell the truth Luke begged her to tell the truth she refused.
It was rape. Anyone who watches the episodes know it was. She said NO, it doesn't matter if she was attracted to him. People can be attracted to others without following through with it, it's human. People wanted her to say it wasn't but it was. She forgave him later and came to understand why he did it but it was rape.
Watch "Luke and Laura Day of Reckoning" here on YT, and/or watch the Goku5 playlist with the same scenes with a little more extended video. Really addresses the rape well. If all of you who comment on here watch it, it may help a little. But, yes, the characters in that video - Luke and Laura - admit it was rape, and they address the fallout. Good stuff.
...the falling in love comes after this. They have known each other a little while, some of which I do not have.. but they were just friendly, prior.
"I may be young, but I didn't come down with yesterdays rain." Never heard that saying before but it's a good line.
Does anyone look at the chairs stacked in the background and think of Poltergeist?
Amazing episode!!
Have you ever noticed this?? I didn't until tonight... but Laura is wearing bright royal blue on at least 3 momentous occasions in the Luke & Laura storyline. The rape, the day she & Luke went on the run, and the reunion in 1983 when she had escaped from the island. Do you think it's just a coincidence, or an element in Gloria Monty's unmatchable style? And can you think of any other times she wore bright royal blue?
ShelliStuart Wow! I never noticed that!!
Blue is the best color for her. On the first flashback Laura tells about the island in 1983, she is in a blue dress. The irony is in reality she had on a purple dress when we last saw here in January 1982.
We try to stay away from gossip about the real people here... but since we heard about Mr. Geary's relationship with Liz from his own mouth... I guess it's not!
It's all amazing... but perhaps I am a little bias! ;-)
I saw it from the beginning... and dealt with it.. but I was in elementary school (no K like you!) so some if it then went over my head.. by the time I really got it, I didn't care, because L&L were supposed to be together... because TG and GF are just Brilliant side by side in a scene.
Yeah... they were reeling trying to figure out how to spin it... Luke was supposed to be killed shortly after this.. and then no re-write would have been needed.... until they saw that crazy chemistry between TG and GF... I think it is lousy.. but understand from a "real" perspective.. love them so much, so have learned to accept the re-write and move on. ..but that's just me.
Sussezq, Aren't u glad u posted it now?
As Laura put it several times later on, this was the first time they made love.
"I think my marriage is over." Hmm, is this something you want to have said to someone you know has a big thing for you?
Yes, because she was already into him...she's playing games with him, not sure how he will respond.
Coheedfan Laura was scared she loved Scotty very much. Laura knew that Luke cared for her but not as deeply as Luke made it out to be. I don’t think she knew how deep that love for her ran in his heart. I don’t think Luke knew himself or understood?
Kayhy, 100% right in your explanation. I've explained many times, cause I am old enough to remember or fans can read the transcripts on line. Luke was obsessed, he insinuated himself into her life. Monty played him being raised by a madame, his kid sister trafficked by her aunt Ruby. Sorry to be so blunt, but if you read the the scripts they prove he was a street kid who pictures Laura as Bobbie said the blond fairy princess. Roy knew too, he found $1500 in the disco books. He wasn't in love, he was in obsession, which is much different than love. He grew to love her after the road when he hurt her innocence exactly like he explained to Bobbie. There is so much background building not seen here which explains why he was horrified at what he had done.
Well I could be wrong but at this early time. I don’t think Laura had any idea that Luke loved her the way in which he did. I don’t think she knew how deep Luke’s love for her ran? JMHO. Rosie out.
Rotary phone..
I was in day care now I am 40
kitty kitty me too. miss this show.
i love the silence in this scene!! great theater!!!
Really good quality video...shockingly good
Thanks for posting the whole scenes w/ context. I had only seen bits and pieces before! It's still horribly uncomfortable, but it's an important part of their history.
I was 11 yrs old, & watchng at Grandma's house after school, in1979.
Me too... but not at Grandma's .. the neighbors.
After school for me too (15 yrs old. for most of 1980 anyway). There were so many soap operas back then - you could not avoid them (and game shows too). But I watched a lot of Ryan's Hope, All My Children (they came first for me). I recall my first episode of GH was the day Luke and Scotty Baldwin fought on Frank Smith's yacht. Summer of 1980. There was a lot of hype / word of mouth going around for that climax. I had relatives that were already into it too which got me into it. Anyway, I stayed with GH until the day Laura strangely disappeared into a fog (years later). But It's great now to see episodes before that time frame. I'm going to start watching from the beginning of your playlist sussezq. I really look forward to seeing the episodes when Luke and Laura were on the run with Hutch again (and that creepy lady who was actually one of Frank Smith's hitmen - what a surprise that was).
KelliViti bestest times. miss those days.❤️
Oh my. I forgot to search for this for quite a while. How fun.
No just a mere mortal !!! And quite a flawed one at that! ; ) Honestly send a note to Genie Francis and Anthony Geary at the prospect studios. They are the ones who should be getting all of your praise.
I just started watching this in part 1 when they first met and now part 5 this is the rape? I wanted to really see him fall in love with her. How long before he met her until he raped her?
Hmmmmmmm
Just a little over six months. He met her properly at the end of March, and the rape happens in the first week of October.
@siresse Luke was... or Tony was... Luke explained it by saying that it was his grandfather's ring in a clip here someplace.
I remember it like yesterday I was 8 years old watching the rape scene and thinking darn they can't ever be together now because my 8 year old self just knew he was going to prison I miss the good old days of soaps
So happy to see these episodes 2 24
Oops ,sorry,yes, their real life personal stuff, is private .To speak about this story ,even my oldest sister Marge, who doesn't like this genre,when she read other critiques,agrees that acting is art,like those Michelangelo paintings with violence,beautiful,but with a disturbing depiction. As much as I love these 2, I cringe when I hear the r word .With good reason ,they tried to go turn it.this is make believe.... But thank you again, for posting some of the best scenes ever seen on screen
they had to put that turn in it. Luke's character wasn't supposed to take off like it did. Once Monty saw a legend coming, it worked. Sadly years later the writings had Luke tell his kids, and brought it back down to its true nature. When watching these, I def. do not think ahead!!!
Is the botched Assasination what put Luke and Laura on Smiths hit list?
No. Luke stole Smith's little black book and decoded it.
Why doesn't she turned the lights on!
I agree... very uncomfortable.. but you need to see the whole thing with context to be able to comment on it... there are a lot of people on the bords who use the scene for their negative purposes, without knowing or caring about the rest of the story.
Who is the woman Scotty is talking to at the diner?
Zelda Bernstein. A fellow lawyer and rival.
I don't believe so... I was REALLY young when it first aired.. think a lot went over my head... I think just what I posted from the soap net special... talking about holding the woman he loved... is perhaps what they were talking about. The commentary.
This must be one heck of a disco -- closed at 2:30???
And isn't Laura like 17? How in heck is she around liquor underage???
stillayl They made a point of saying that she could serve the pizza but not the alcohol. It's much less of a stretch than what they do on current day soaps... people who have murdered numerous others portrayed as the pillars of society! lol
+stillayl LOL it's New York.......they close at 4 am......at least nowadays lol lol
Question.. I don't know where I read it but when it was re-aired as a special did they change some of the scenes from the original 1979 scenes? I don't know how they could really do that though?
Of course it's all in the script... But was Laura closing the restaurant on this evening? Otherwise, how did she get left there alone? Was she a keyholder? lol
Anybody notice, the production music is never heard again, after this scene?
Brian is so sweet to be willing to get up at that hour to go pick Laura up. And yes, we don't know what supposedly happened when they went out of sight of the camera as far as Laura's actions and why she had doubts from the beginning and ran away to the park and wouldn't identify Luke. Whatever the case, it is not real life. ETA When I watched the GH L&L originally when it aired on TV in 1979 I was aware that Luke loved Laura by the time of the rape. I just forgot some of the missing scenes. I honestly think the fact that there are so many scenes of the journey of Luke and Laura (such as the handkerchief scene mentioned here, the picture taken of her in her cheerleading outfit and other scenes) we don't get to see that it seems sort of rushed and as though there wasn't enough time for it to be about love.
I do wish those scenes existed somewhere so that we could watch them. I remember as I watched them again recently for the first time wondering myself was Luke in love with Laura at the wedding(with Scott) and when he seemed sad in the scene with Bobbie afterward. I thought "How can he be in love with her so quickly?" because I didn't know some of the other scenes ever were.
scotty's like a cross between jay leno and paul reiser.
You are very welcome! Hope you continue to enjoy.
Thank you for ALL these videos! Wonderful! L@L best.
Scarlett and Rhett Butler had chemistry. Still shots of Gable and Leigh have chemistry but I thought the weakest link in GWTW was the lack of film chemistry between Gable and Leigh.
Their first kiss was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 though even by 21st century standards never mind 1939
Yes.... back then!!!
I certainly haven't.
Amen! ;-)
I agree with you, to answer your question about why it has to suck now, I felt the same way about Guiding Light. It is American soaps, Spanish soaps have endings all the time where the forever couple are married and live happily ever after.
Offended Its like watching a fantastic Movie GH was fantastic back then sso reallistic not like a stipid soap
The whole rape sequence is really disturbing while leaving a lot to the imagination. Was it shocking even back in 1979? Also, I heard that TG was only supposed to be on for a few months but they decided to put Luke and Laura together as a couple instead. What I don't understand is...were people seriously rooting for them as a couple after the rape? Seems a bit sick...
Yes, it was shocking, and yes, many many people were rooting for them. That’s why they became such a legendary couple. I was not one of those rooting for them. I wouldn’t root for a rapist, which is what even Genie Francis now says Luke is.
