Glad you are enjoying. It was very entertaining I thought, and it needed to be shared. I love L&L too... such compelling, interesting, deep, multi-dimensional characters and absolutely fantastic acting!!
Rick is so handsome..I loved the Rick and Leslie storyline, and even Monica. I used to skip school to watch Luke and Laura! Thanks for the upload!!! I've been glued for almost 5 hours, now I'm hooked, again!!!
I'm Searching for a Clip of that One night that Rick and Monica Slept together in late Spring or Summer of 1979. Which is it? Lol!! Where they thought that AJ might be Rick's baby. I Saw that episode way back when, When it aired. Is it anywhere on RUclips? Maybe in one of the GH Channels on here? Please let me know if you find it. thanks. I'd like to see it again.👍👍.
Susseq Thank you so much for 1) keeping this VCR tapes and 2) sharing them on RUclips! I am thoroughly enjoying watching when GH was truly good and interesting and I love Luke and Laura!
It's amazing how much better all of these actors are.. and the sets! Having so many people together at once makes things more realistic. I wish there were more "friends" and groups on today like there were then.
I guess with the reduced budgets they just can't afford to have as many actors on contract. The sets also seem a lot cheaper now too. No summer adventure shoots, it makes it all seem so different than this time period of soaps. I think we can thank people turning to talk shows for entertainment instead of watching soaps as a reason for the reduced budgets.
@cindyharper6292 I'm happy to have an LnL friend as well. Not everyone understands the importance of LnL. Honestly, watching this now is so therapeutic!!❤️💞❤️
@@lisah9709 I remember watching the beginning of Luke and Laura’s love story when I was pregnant with my son I was 22 years old then I am now 65 I just recently found these old episodes and I can’t stop watching You are absolutely right They are therapeutic! I hope you keep in touch
Yeah..... back then it seemed that the actors took their job VERY seriously. They were very dedicated to giving their audience their best performances. They were very generous and giving... Today it seems to be about taking... a bunch of actors are too busy using their soap fans to market their products and/or spend too much time promoting their singing careers.....more concerned about lining their pockets with their celebrity... when some should be taking acting classes!!
Thank for this great comment WR ;} You are right, Guza took the great characters of Rick and Lesley Webber... turned him into a womanizing jerk and Lesley into a moron who put up with it... when it was ALL NOT TRUE. Rick was a great father to Laura, and a good husband to Leslie minus this one lousy incident... UGH Makes me so mad!!
Rick is an excuse not to tell Scotty. She didn't want to anyway. She does not want to repair that relationship. It's a remnant for security at this point.
Aah no it’s not Lesley fault he’ll no it’s Rick’s he has Monica on his brain to much. Please Rick is a player has been for a while now. Wow sorry but I did not see that coming. I really thought that Rick and Lesley had it altogether you know like Doctor Steve and Audrey or Dinana and her late husband. Even Patty and Rose. Damn I was sooo wrong. Damn life really is a bitch.. sorry IMHO. Thanks. Rosie
I absolutely loved this period on gh. I see you're obviously Luke/Laura fan. Do you have stuff for us Quartermaine fans from that period too?. Thanks for posting these. It's like watching it for the first time after all these years.
Teresa Carter story line was the worst thing they ever wrote. I still can't believe that was the only way the writers could come up with to write Laura off. My kids could write a better story. I HATE that they made Laura so fragile & made her go insane. What an insult to the character & GF.
Rick and Monica were in love. Rick was reported dead (maybe Vietnam but I'm not sure). She married Jeff Webber in rebound. Rick showed up alive and eventually Monica got a divorce from Jeff. Rick married Leslie, Monica Married Alan. Then the night w/ Monica happened.
La Lake Rick was working as a doctor in Kenya. A plane he was in went down and he was thought dead but lost in the jungle for a couple of years. Monica married Jeff and then Rick came back! That was about when Leslie Charleston came on as Monica. One of my first storylines.
Is there a Clip anywhere on RUclips of that infamous night of the Rick/Monica Saga? I've been searching for it. I saw it back in the Summer or Spring of 1979. As I recall. Is it anywhere, like maybe on one of the GH Channels anywhere? Please let me know if you find it.👍👍.
...and an insult to us as well! We know who Laura Spencer was as a child.... we know the kind of woman she should have grown into... I so hope she is back soon and we get a glimpse of her... Ms. Francis, Laura and we all deserve at least that much for our loyalty to these characters, their family and the show!
2023 and Laura has grown into the strong independent woman we knew she would. Mayor of Port Charles, saved the world from another weather machine because she remembered the code from 42 years ago. She is amazing and has an excellent husband in Kevin.
Whatever Rick says, I'm watching 1983 and he had a huge flirtation with Rose Kelly. He made Leslie's life difficult, and in 1982 Rick very much had a double meaning when he asked Monica about having "another round." He was not that nice a guy from the beginning - not the meaning from 2002 - but still believable that he could be a cheat. Remember scene at Monica and Alan's first party where he made Lesley feel awful when he kept saying how beautiful Monica was...Rick had no good sense.
I caught an older episode of Leslie with a man, I have no idea of hos character name, he was a doctor I think. Leslie was willing to throw motherhood and everything away - to please him. He told her he wouldn't give her the title of wife, gf or to even live together. It was so sad to see her crushed. I think the idea in her heartbreak stories surrounding Leslie isabout how these men, no matter how admirable they may be, Rick .. she loved too hard and gave of herself more than her mates did. If the show had a saint - it was Leslie
IB don,t remember Rick and Lesley's story exactly...I thought that Rick didn't know that Monica told Leslie... and Leslie did not let on that she knew.... am I wrong???
Yes you are right. Monica was delivering A J and Lesley was helping her. Monica thought she would die cause home delivery, ect so she told Leslie baby Ricks.
I see how they're using the Rick/Lesley announcement to Laura to cause in her mind - to rethink about being "honest" with Scottie, but her reasoning is faulty here... you can't draw an even parallel analogy, both situations are different. Just because "honesty" caused Rick/Lesley thing to break wide open, which actually is oversimplified because they haven't told Laura all the details here about Monica's baby, etc.) but anyway - just because there is this one set of circumstances, doesn't mean at all that if she was to have told Scottie everything at this point regarding how it all went down with Luke, and why she got scared of being judged or misunderstood for her "role" in it (in her mind) or the feeling of having sympathy for Luke's impending assignment and how he thought he'd be dead, etc. basically, even if she had spilled out all these things to Scottie at this point, it could have gone a completely different direction than her parents. He could have had the chance to understand what had been happening with her all these months and why, and though he may have been infuriated and confused and possibly flew into a rage initially... he may have had a feeling of things falling into place and making sense more, and they (Laura and Scottie) possibly could have recovered and had a much stronger relationship. (in theory, or course because these are written characters subject to the whim of the writers, lol!)
Aw, that's sad, they really were close and Rick was basically a good guy before Guza got a hold of him and turned him into nothing but a serial womanizer. The exact same thing he's doing to Luke now.
Luke feels really guilty. He doesn't want to talk about it with Scott because he struggles with it himself. I think he is also worried about the pressure on Laura from Scott because he's so relentless about finding out who the rapist is.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS INFO!!!!! Gotta love the ability for those of us who are really love these characters to discuss!!
"emotional stability" is a recurring phrase during this story line.

Yeah, Sorry I don't have more of it. I was just a L&L fan.. have learned to appreciate Rick and Lesley in my older age.
Thank for this great comment WR ;}

@@lb1262dt the night they started cheating? It's out there on one of the channels.
@@LynnEllingwood I never knew this either!!
@VenusMonkey I am so sorry, no vintage Q's (wish I did). All the stuff I have is pre-edited for L&L.
In later years, Gloria Monty was toying with the idea that Lesley have Rick's baby. Too bad it didn't come true.
LICK fans have always been cheated.
Scotty was blind. Didn’t he put two and two together watching them? I would have known from the start it was Luke…tall and blonde? 😂
...and an insult to us as well! We know who Laura Spencer was as a child.... we know the kind of woman she should have grown into... I so hope she is back soon and we get a glimpse of her... Ms. Francis, Laura and we all deserve at least that much for our loyalty to these characters, their family and the show!
sussezq Wow! A lot has happened in the last 6 years...
2023 and Laura has grown into the strong independent woman we knew she would. Mayor of Port Charles, saved the world from another weather machine because she remembered the code from 42 years ago. She is amazing and has an excellent husband in Kevin.
This is my 2nd time through
Thanks SQ
You know Scotty shouldn't be revealing the identity of Joanne, he could give details about it but not give out the names.
I noticed that too, big NO LAST NAMES. Yikes, suppose to let introduce yourself if you feel comfortable and can use no last name.
Whatever Rick says, I'm watching 1983 and he had a huge flirtation with Rose Kelly.

@sussezq ah well, was worth asking. At least you have this classic stuff.
Rick, it is good for Laura to help you with Lesley, but you need to do the most work.
IB don,t remember Rick and Lesley's story exactly...I thought that Rick didn't know that Monica told Leslie... and Leslie did not let on that she knew.... am I wrong???
No your not. You hit the nail right on the head thank you Rosie
Yes you are right. Monica was delivering A J and Lesley was helping her. Monica thought she would die cause home delivery, ect so she told Leslie baby Ricks.
@RealLoisLane Well Leslie and Rick did adopt a child. :) So they did have a child together. :)
Gee, did you hear that? Rick had only slept with one woman while he was married to Lesley? TPTB need to a remedial lesson on the family tree of GH.

Big time!!!!
Who the HECK raped her? I can see now way Scotty became so angry and bitter afterward.
LIE, LIE, LIE, LIE. LIE .LIE ,LIE, LIE, LIE,,,, IT MAY NEED MORE BUT, RICK HAD MANY MANY MORE AFFAIRS,,
Mary Beckett REWRITE, REWRITE, REWRITE........
Hunni Bunni Brahahaha!!! Hilarious!!! I’m giving your comment a 👍😂👏
Mary Beckett, 4 some reason I never like Rick way b4 all the rewrites! 2 touchy- feely w/Laura, but more than that.
I don't like the way Luke treats Scotty here, really not cool.
Luke feels really guilty. He doesn't want to talk about it with Scott because he struggles with it himself. I think he is also worried about the pressure on Laura from Scott because he's so relentless about finding out who the rapist is.
Lukes afraid scott will figure it out
