I cannot believe how young Anthony Geary still looks! For 72 he looks in his 50s, and he is still handsome, i cannot believe it has been 40 years! We all still remember! We were all transfixed with them!
There will never be another couple to leave such a legacy behind them ...long live the romance, the trust and the love of millions of fans ....Tony and Genie you were the best on screen couple in the history of cinema and television.... love you forever...❤
@labannaosullivan4601 They should be proud of that. Genie needs to stop talking about how the characters met and trashing the legacy. She did say in a recent podcast that she missed Tony and really thought they were going to build a big story for Luke's return and was sad when it didn't pan out .
Gee one minute she says stay away from me, then she finds him and wants to talk... they really caught the essence of a confused teen age girl back then,,,the writing was so GOOD!
What a scene between these two. Their chemistry has never been matched EVER!! I remember these scenes and how much I wanted them to get together!! I still do!
Wow, I was born in 1989 so I haven't been able to see any of this. It's obvious watching these clips why the show was so popular back then. They don't make TV like this anymore. Thanks for taking the time to put these up.
This was the beginning of Laura realizing that she had feelings for Luke and talking about them. She was confused. She thought that happily ever after with Scott should be enough. Tony and Genie's acting here is beyond amazing
The chemistry was and is AMAZING! Genie was a little girl and Tony was a grown man. He looked out for her, was her acting mentor, and are good friends to this day.
The writers really messed up The way they ended this couple is heart wrenching ,Now having Luke killing his parents I mean he is really a dark character.

Angel Deville No not true That one is a great BIG LIE! That was up to those ...writers who killed off all of the fans who loved Luke & Laura. RIP GH love Rosie
And here is the last turn in the story. Laura admitting that on some level she wanted him but couldn't face it. If you know Laura's history you know that she had a history of hiding from the truth whenever it didn't fit with what she thought it should be. That went all the way back to her going home with Leslie when she left the Vinings. She got sick and the doctor told Leslie it was because she was unhappy so Leslie sent her back then she ran away from the Vinings and joined a cult. Then later she kills David Hamilton after he seduces her and breaks her heart and she just conveniently forgets and lets her mother go to jail. By the time Luke meets her, this behavior of avoidance and denial is ingrained plus she has the extra baggage of wanting to be seen as a good girl after the scandal of David Hamilton. So her denial of what she felt for Luke was understandable. There was always a wild side to Laura from the time she was a girl and ran away to join a cult. She tries to suppress and be a respectable Webber (whatever that is considering how Rick was with Monica), but she just can't. There is a part of Laura that is exactly like Luke and that is why he's able to draw her in. Scotty could never be enough for Laura. It isn't really his fault, but Scotty is the facade of the life she thinks she should live and Luke represents the life she really wants to live if she didn't feel people would judge her for it. And Luke for his part can see that in her and wants her to own it. In all honesty while many people now think this story is forced, if you know her history it makes complete sense. There was never going to be another outcome for Laura. It's why I don't believe in her and Kevin today. He's another Scotty. That's why she's always off on adventures that she plugs herself into. You see flashes of her real self with Valentin when she confronts him. That is the real Laura.
This is well stated. Laura's character was always forced into tough decisions at an age where the decision-making process was still being formed. With all the trauma in her life, she never was given a solid opportunity to live a normal life, and put into situations where there was no right answer, only chaos. Luke was chaos, which was why he fit so well. Luke=Chaos=Normal for Laura.
@ Zanne Marie-Great analysis. Laura and Luke are very complex characters.... I think they started out as wound mates and became soul mates. Both seem to have abandonment issues-Laura because of being switched at birth and Luke because of his mother’s death and his abusive home. Laura had real empathy for Luke, and was the only person other than Ruby and Bobbi who he felt seen by. Luke treated her more like an adult than anyone else in her life, the thing she said she really wanted, to be taken seriously. Potent stuff-in the desert of each of their lives, Luke and Laura were each other’s oasis.
Look. am. so. sorry. but. why. dose. Luke. say. to. Laura “Laura look what. u. have. done. to. me? I. don’t understand. What. Laura. did. till this. day. Luke put high up Not. Laura she did. not. want. to. see Luke get into trouble or go to jail. Also. she. always. had. a soft. heart. Even. Until. The. End.
YEP! Laura wasn't an idiot...she was a teenaged girl who had to grow up too fast and couldn't make sense of her feelings. Luke knew this, and alternately gave her sympathy and took advantage of her confusion. But his motives were good: he loved the *real* Laura, warts and all.
I really like this scene...they're starting to let down their defenses with each other, and are edging closer and closer...she's able to be honest with him in a way she can never be with Scotty. Luke understands she feels terrible about her disloyal feelings, and loves her all the more for it. *Sniff.*
Laura is confused, but she's also married, and wants to be faithful to Scott. Luke is not respecting this. He just wants her to give into his obsession and take advantage of her confusion. Geez, Luke, she's only a teenager, one who you took advantage of in the worst possible way! I know Gloria Monty tried to spin this into a rape/seduction, because ratings were going up, and she needed to save GH from cancellation. Years later, both TG and GF admitted how disturbed they both were about this. But the rape was dismissed, Laura fell in love with her attacker, and they both became heros. If you really break it down, it makes no sense. But this was a soap opera, and ratings ruled.
Luke it is that pain that got us caught up in the hurt of your heart for the LOVE of Laura!! here comes Scott! always breaking up Luke and Laura's vibes!*
sonyab1974 Ok maybe but please let me know. What the hell did Laura do? Did she put a spell or curse on Luke? Please tell me just what did Laura do? Thanks Rosie
She wouldn't leave him alone,she went to him about everything, he was her best friend. He told her he was in love with her, fired her so he wouldn't hurt her, she knew he was obsessed, he couldn't look at another woman. That night, Rise played. Then he hated himself, went to ER to make sure she wasn't hurt. He sat in ER with Scott while she was being sedated. Pretty brazen , he could have gone right to prison. Feel silly talking about this, but LnL fan!
It was so different back then.... so many emotions going on at the same time, so many levels.... it was about the characters and their feelings, not what was going to happen in the plot line.
@MrsLukesotherlaura They really were GREAT characters, SOOOO well developed and complementary to each other. TG once said they were mythical creatures and could do anything.. I so agree. When the writing was like this... they were just totally incredible!!
It is important to remember Laura's character history here. I think is explains a lot of her confusion - about love and about Luke. David Hamilton put a lot of BS in Laura's head, made her feel loved, and then mocked her. That sailboat seduction had to really suck for her big time because Luke kind of pulled similar BS there. The I Love You's and I Need You's, and then boom - here's the keys. He just played with her head a little too much there. Then, the fact that she "made love" to David Hamilton at what, 15? That was rape, too. Another acquaintance rape. Laura doesn't understand her love for Luke because she still isn't even sure what love is. That's what really makes the story so powerful, her eventual recognition that she loves Luke in the midst of the chaos of life, the mob, her family, her marriage, and it shakes the very foundation of her being. Crazy good stuff.
I see history repeating itself, I know Laura still wants Luke and here we go again married to Scotty and loving Luke. I think they both know deep down they love each other and no one else compares now if those that were around who saw this from the beginning could just make the writers know what we know, makes me mad really :(
It will always anger me beyond anything but true love that Luke had for his Laura. I can’t understand why the writers, producers and/ or anybody else for that matter. The people who thought that puttingTG and GF together in the first place? They changed the sweet loving storyline into one big dark mistake. Till this day I have no idea justifying this beautiful loving couple into one big ugly nightmare for everyone involved. It’s is like saying that even a fantasy one in which someone made up. Can not stand the test of loving time. GH then was pure magic and in its light to beautiful soulmates fell hard into true love. Now that love fell into darkness never to see the light of day ever again. Sorry but that is to heartbreaking to bare fora y of us who know that true love is hard when two people like Luke and Laura should have stated together as one forevermore. It was not a dream. Thank you. Rosie
My parents and my husband's parents have both been married 60 years. Both couples still in love. If it can happen in real life it surely can happen on a TV show.😉😉
Yes that is sooo right they both where and still are brilliant....always together. Note to self. What the hell is Luke talking about? What the hell did Laura do to Luke anyway? What was sooo bad for Luke? He loved Laura all that time. His love for her was timeless and unending never was and never will. He still loves Laura. Laura still loves Luke to this very day. No body will EVER change my mind. Love Rosie
Yes! I wished everyone that's a fan could have been there un the beginning,back in the day,like I was. It was a great time. Thank you for posting these. TG and GF have chemistry that is unmatched on the small or large screen.
You're right. Unless you lived through at the time, you can't explain to people the palpable excitement around them and the show. It was surreal! And fantastic! And we wished it had never ended.
Hey I replied to this already... definitely she has a deeper connection emotionally with Luke as well as the pure animal magnetism going on between them.
Suss I still come back. I'm sooo grateful you did this. If not for you we would not have all this. I've looked only you posted all available n in order
She keeps repeating that she loves her husband and doesn't want anything to happen to her marriage. Sounds to me like she's trying to convince herself more than anyone else.
@@paulettegrant9996 happens every day! Except in reality, when couples have been married for years and that "gooey feeling" slips, they think they're not IN love anymore. NOT TRUE......relationships & marriages grow on different levels. It IS important to keep good intimacy if the couple can, but, sadly they confuse their feelings and hit the lawyers office. Anyway that has nothing to do with this. Laura is JUST AS KID.....she truly did not know what love was until Luke brought it out of her.
@@jacifertik7038 Agree . Scotty was a crutch for her after David Hamilton. A combination of a High school sweatheart love and him being her savior . Her Love for Luke was real love. Spend the rest of my life with you love.
@carjack289 ..yeah.. and everyone who starts watching this seems to survive on much less sleep than usual!! You are not alone!! Addictive times a zillion!!
I remember these scenes like it was yesterday. These two drew you into their love story with all it's twists and turns. Their love was powerful and kept you glued to the screen. Bring back Genie Francis to GH and bring back the Luke we once loved not the drunk Guza has written him as.
Such a diffferent feel to the scenes with them now. she knows she loves him and she can't change that. The conversations are so different. Smart writing on GH's part .God if this happened in present day I'm not too sure it would be this dramatic. Other women would just leave and not give it another thought. But our Laura was always thinking about others.
It is obvious these two people really love each other. Laura may have loved Scotty, but was IN LOVE with Luke. She WAS attracted to Luke. Luke was wrong for what he did but Laura should have gotten the hell out of there, quit the disco and worked elsewhere.
This scene is so very powerful as everyone has commented…. “Laura what have you done to me?” It encompasses the entirety of his overwhelming feelings for her….something of course we find out later he’s never experienced or expected…… something that actually did turn his world upside down…..the great thing is……that the BOOKEND scene to this, done just as amazingly, comes later in the Sticky-Door era where Tony Geary gives an ad-libbed, Emmy winning, tour de force performance outside a door explaining the arc of his character and the need to change. So brilliant!!!!!! Every true love grows or dies!!!! Love these two!!!!
@@jeaninehogshead4710oh thank you for identifying the scene that was ad-libbed, and is part of the Emmy reel. I have spent weeks trying to figure it out!
I agree Luke Spencer couldn't have been Luke Spencer without Anthony Geary!! So glad you are enjoying....but don't thank me... send a note to Mr. Geary at the studio.. and thank him! ;-)
Oh the irony. Scotty wound up being the impetus for LnL to run away just as Luke dreamed. Such phenomenal writing/ acting. I’ve watched this numerous times now.
DEFINITELY she has! That's why you, though in your right mind, think she should be with Scott... can't help deny what is between the two of them... it is not just this animal magnetism... they really are better "friends"... so to speak.
I hate that she feels she has to say, "I'm sorry," at 2:18:(( She is being put in a very painful. awkward position by him and I wish they had her be more accepting of her right to be upset at this point...
Zeke sHUMPERT I have never seen that video, I need to see it, it is time I finally watched it. I generally stay in the 79 to early 82 playlists. I have got to find that video and see what Luke has to say to Lucky. To anyone reading my comment, if you know what year or playlist I can find the video of Luke explaining this to Lucky I would greatly appreciate any help finding it. Thank you.

I didn't like it at all. He just narrates the rape video all of us have seen a million times from the perspective of the rapist. And then, wins an Emny for it! Let's hear from the victim.
LUKE : " WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME"???? IT'S JUST LIKE A MAN TO BLAME A WOMEN. LOL WELL, LUKE, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT SHE HAS DONE TO YOU. ( SHE FLIRTED WITH YOU,) AND (YOU FLIRTED BACK WITH HER). PLUS SHE WOULD ASK FOR YOUR HELP WITH THINGS. THE TIME SHE CAME INTO YOUR OFFICE ASKING FOR A JOB. AND I QUOTE... LUKE: " LAURA, I CAN'T HIRE YOU ". LAURA: " OH, WHY NOT LUKE" ??? ( SAD FACE ) LUKE: "YOU ARE UNDER AGE" LAURA: " YOU SERVE PIZZA DON'T YOU"? ( SHE SAYS WITH A BIG SMILE ) LUKE: " YES, LAURA: " I CAN SERVE PIZZA UNTIL I TURN 18. SHE GIVES HIM A BIG SMILE LUKE: " OKAY, LAURA, YOU GOT THE JOB...LAURA...GRABBING LUKE'S HANDS AND SAYING " THANK YOU, LUKE. BIG SMILE FROM LAURA LUKE: " CAN YOU START TONIGHT? BE HERE AT 8:00PM ".

THAT IS NOT WHAT MOST GIRLS IN THE 80'S WORE. WE HAD GONE THROUGH A CHANGE IN THE EARLY 70'S TO JEANS AND LOSING THE SKIRTS AND DRESSES. WE ONLY DRESSED LIKE THAT FOR WORK, CHURCH, OR SPECIAL OCCASIONS. NOT EVERYDAY. COLLEGE NO WAY. IT WAS JEANS AND A CUTE TOP ALL THE WAY. HER CLOTHES DID BOTHER ME THEN AND STILL DOES.
Laura: 'what happened affected me deeply" Luke: 'it affected me deeply too." I wish it had 'affected' them deeply. That would've made the sailboat scene more entertaining!
I watched an interview years ago that Gloria Monty did. This was ALL her idea. General hospital was actually on the verge of being cancelled (I know shocked me to hear that). Because if genies age she had to get her parents to consent. She said the night before the rape aired she sat everyone down and told them, 1 of 2 things will happen tomorrow....1- we will quickly be cancelled and all out of a job come monday, or 2- we will be the biggest thing in daytime tv and shoot to number 1 in the ratings. However even she never expected it to turn out the way it did. She said the morning after it aired Tony was getting off a plane and the airport was packed with women screaming n holding signs that said "rape me Luke". That last part is a bit sick, but that's what happened. When he came on the show my first thought was ......my Lord this is NOT a good-looking man, where did they find him!?!? But the more he n Laura fell in love with each other the better looking he got. By the time the rape aired was already in love with his love for Laura. If that makes sense?
@BookWarrior9 I KNOW!!!!! That's why there are some of us, who are still grieving the news of GF going to Y&R even now... still can't get enough of L&L and was hoping for a new fix some time soon.
Renee silvemail Ha ha! I meant the "childhood" of his ficticious character, but yes, I know what you mean! And that, my friend - is just how good the acting was back then:)
Anyone else notice the parallel when Laura tells Luke to not stop her with the sticky door-era scene outside her apartment where he tells her not to stop him?
the writing was superb. the actors had so much to work with. who was the head writer at that time Sus? where is he or she now? i would love to thank them!
What excellent writting. Luke telling Laura that he dreams of them running away together plants the seed of that idea in her mind. Sus, do you have the clips of L&L on the run?
La Lake I"m referring to an underlying, repeated theme of a type of manipulation that he does with people, I just chalk it up to his childhood of having to try do whatever it takes to survive I guess.
Look at Luke's expression at 5:10. 5:11 ....... watch how his mouth moves. Turn that frown slightly upside down Luke... (even though it was rape; she said no....) But when she speaks his face gets hopeful....
❤. Its. Like time stays still. With. Me with Luke and Laura I this scene. Very extraordinary. I mean. I watch. The 2024 scenes different Luke and Laura back then. Different so challenging. ❤

Oh! What a terrible thing for him to say!! Not true to their history. I didn't watch then sad 😢 😞 😔
Laura tells Luke she never wants to be alone with him again, while talking to him alone with him. Ironic, isn't it.
SHE ALWAYS HAS ONE MORE THING TO TELL LUKE, JUST STAY AWAY FROM ME...I LOVE MY HUSBAND...REALLY LAURA ??????
She's very young.... And kind of confused.
The soulmate connection is growing!
Wow, that kind of need could make some1 crazy! I know my hair’d be on fire bout now if I were either of these two! 🤯
And here is the last turn in the story. Laura admitting that on some level she wanted him but couldn't face it. If you know Laura's history you know that she had a history of hiding from the truth whenever it didn't fit with what she thought it should be. That went all the way back to her going home with Leslie when she left the Vinings. She got sick and the doctor told Leslie it was because she was unhappy so Leslie sent her back then she ran away from the Vinings and joined a cult. Then later she kills David Hamilton after he seduces her and breaks her heart and she just conveniently forgets and lets her mother go to jail. By the time Luke meets her, this behavior of avoidance and denial is ingrained plus she has the extra baggage of wanting to be seen as a good girl after the scandal of David Hamilton. So her denial of what she felt for Luke was understandable. There was always a wild side to Laura from the time she was a girl and ran away to join a cult. She tries to suppress and be a respectable Webber (whatever that is considering how Rick was with Monica), but she just can't. There is a part of Laura that is exactly like Luke and that is why he's able to draw her in. Scotty could never be enough for Laura. It isn't really his fault, but Scotty is the facade of the life she thinks she should live and Luke represents the life she really wants to live if she didn't feel people would judge her for it. And Luke for his part can see that in her and wants her to own it.
In all honesty while many people now think this story is forced, if you know her history it makes complete sense. There was never going to be another outcome for Laura. It's why I don't believe in her and Kevin today. He's another Scotty. That's why she's always off on adventures that she plugs herself into. You see flashes of her real self with Valentin when she confronts him. That is the real Laura.
This is well stated. Laura's character was always forced into tough decisions at an age where the decision-making process was still being formed. With all the trauma in her life, she never was given a solid opportunity to live a normal life, and put into situations where there was no right answer, only chaos. Luke was chaos, which was why he fit so well. Luke=Chaos=Normal for Laura.
@ Zanne Marie-Great analysis. Laura and Luke are very complex characters.... I think they started out as wound mates and became soul mates. Both seem to have abandonment issues-Laura because of being switched at birth and Luke because of his mother’s death and his abusive home. Laura had real empathy for Luke, and was the only person other than Ruby and Bobbi who he felt seen by. Luke treated her more like an adult than anyone else in her life, the thing she said she really wanted, to be taken seriously. Potent stuff-in the desert of each of their lives, Luke and Laura were each other’s oasis.
☝🏻 So beautifully put ❤️
So, so true!
You are absolutely right, one of the few people that get it.
Powerful moments between these two stars. Magic!!
There will never be another "Gloria Monty" ): The smartest woman to ever grace the world of soaps, and very ballsy also (:
Look. am. so. sorry. but. why. dose. Luke. say. to. Laura “Laura look what. u. have. done. to. me? I. don’t understand. What. Laura. did. till this. day. Luke put high up Not. Laura she did. not. want. to. see Luke get into trouble or go to jail. Also. she. always. had. a soft. heart. Even. Until. The. End.
@@kathylanda681 HE WAS POSSESSED WITH HER.
cindy farnsworth
Yes, Luke was more than obsessed he was possessed.
@@christineadams1284 YES, HE WAS. SHE HAD HIM HOOKED LINE AND SINKER. HE WAS A GONER FROM THE MOMENT HE MEET HER.
YEP! Laura wasn't an idiot...she was a teenaged girl who had to grow up too fast and couldn't make sense of her feelings. Luke knew this, and alternately gave her sympathy and took advantage of her confusion. But his motives were good: he loved the *real* Laura, warts and all.
I really like this scene...they're starting to let down their defenses with each other, and are edging closer and closer...she's able to be honest with him in a way she can never be with Scotty. Luke understands she feels terrible about her disloyal feelings, and loves her all the more for it. *Sniff.*
Laura is confused, but she's also married, and wants to be faithful to Scott. Luke is not respecting this. He just wants her to give into his obsession and take advantage of her confusion. Geez, Luke, she's only a teenager, one who you took advantage of in the worst possible way! I know Gloria Monty tried to spin this into a rape/seduction, because ratings were going up, and she needed to save GH from cancellation. Years later, both TG and GF admitted how disturbed they both were about this. But the rape was dismissed, Laura fell in love with her attacker, and they both became heros. If you really break it down, it makes no sense. But this was a soap opera, and ratings ruled.
Laura never says she is "IN LOVE " with Scott !! She says she loves him big difference especially since they were married such a short period of time
Luke it is that pain that got us caught up in the hurt of your heart for the LOVE of Laura!! here comes Scott! always breaking up Luke and Laura's vibes!*
I loved this show so much! I rushed home from my classes at the University to watch Luke and Laura. The sexual chemistry was incredible.
Luke: I can't imagine being married to any woman but you Laura. WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!
WOAH! So powerful! Poor Luke!
sonyab1974 Ok maybe but please let me know. What the hell did Laura do? Did she put a spell or curse on Luke? Please tell me just what did Laura do? Thanks Rosie
She wouldn't leave him alone,she went to him about everything, he was her best friend. He told her he was in love with her, fired her so he wouldn't hurt her, she knew he was obsessed, he couldn't look at another woman. That night, Rise played. Then he hated himself, went to ER to make sure she wasn't hurt. He sat in ER with Scott while she was being sedated. Pretty brazen , he could have gone right to prison. Feel silly talking about this, but LnL fan!
@@sharonjonsy9412 IT'S A COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIP AND SO SOULFUL. BUT, IT WORKS FOR THEM. LNL FAN... LNL
A spell. The curse comes later.
This couple is soooooo addictive!!! :)
I agree. Totally
I love having these memories thank you so much!
It was so different back then.... so many emotions going on at the same time, so many levels.... it was about the characters and their feelings, not what was going to happen in the plot line.
That is is soo true it was all about the characters and the emotions
Laura- “can you do that?”
Luke- (shakes head slowly) “I don’t know...”
Sure they can stay away from each.. Ever have a itch u can’t scratch? Lol!
@@judithjerde1574 GET OUT THE BACK SCRATCHER, YOUR GONNA NEED IT LAURA.
@MrsLukesotherlaura They really were GREAT characters, SOOOO well developed and complementary to each other. TG once said they were mythical creatures and could do anything.. I so agree. When the writing was like this... they were just totally incredible!!
Yes they where and so,so much more. Thank you Susezq. Rosie
It is important to remember Laura's character history here. I think is explains a lot of her confusion - about love and about Luke. David Hamilton put a lot of BS in Laura's head, made her feel loved, and then mocked her. That sailboat seduction had to really suck for her big time because Luke kind of pulled similar BS there. The I Love You's and I Need You's, and then boom - here's the keys. He just played with her head a little too much there. Then, the fact that she "made love" to David Hamilton at what, 15? That was rape, too. Another acquaintance rape. Laura doesn't understand her love for Luke because she still isn't even sure what love is. That's what really makes the story so powerful, her eventual recognition that she loves Luke in the midst of the chaos of life, the mob, her family, her marriage, and it shakes the very foundation of her being. Crazy good stuff.
Crazy good is right... and the reason it is still quite compelling a story in 2016!!
Absolutely! Still crazy good stuff in 2016 !
Wonderful explanation!
sussezq and 2020. Thanks as always Susseqz for all your hard work in preserving and sharing this complex story.
Betsy Keller
Well said. Thank you.
It did take a huge amount of time... but was happy to share. Too good for anyone to miss! Hope you are enjoying.
I see history repeating itself, I know Laura still wants Luke and here we go again married to Scotty and loving Luke. I think they both know deep down they love each other and no one else compares now if those that were around who saw this from the beginning could just make the writers know what we know, makes me mad really :(
It will always anger me beyond anything but true love that Luke had for his Laura. I can’t understand why the writers, producers and/ or anybody else for that matter. The people who thought that puttingTG and GF together in the first place? They changed the sweet loving storyline into one big dark mistake. Till this day I have no idea justifying this beautiful loving couple into one big ugly nightmare for everyone involved. It’s is like saying that even a fantasy one in which someone made up. Can not stand the test of loving time. GH then was pure magic and in its light to beautiful soulmates fell hard into true love. Now that love fell into darkness never to see the light of day ever again. Sorry but that is to heartbreaking to bare fora y of us who know that true love is hard when two people like Luke and Laura should have stated together as one forevermore. It was not a dream. Thank you. Rosie
My parents and my husband's parents have both been married 60 years. Both couples still in love. If it can happen in real life it surely can happen on a TV show.😉😉
They are BOTH brilliant!!
Yes that is sooo right they both where and still are brilliant....always together. Note to self. What the hell is Luke talking about? What the hell did Laura do to Luke anyway? What was sooo bad for Luke? He loved Laura all that time. His love for her was timeless and unending never was and never will. He still loves Laura. Laura still loves Luke to this very day. No body will EVER change my mind. Love Rosie
Yes! I wished everyone that's a fan could have been there un the beginning,back in the day,like I was. It was a great time. Thank you for posting these. TG and GF have chemistry that is unmatched on the small or large screen.
You're right. Unless you lived through at the time, you can't explain to people the palpable excitement around them and the show. It was surreal! And fantastic! And we wished it had never ended.
Yes, I'm posting again! L&L love, years ago,has captured me today! Such a powerful love between them! Hooked once more! LOVE 😘
I was there from the beginning
I never liked Scotty
I always wanted her with Luke
@@aliceorr6426 I loved her with Scotty until Luke came along!
It was quite a triangle wasn't it? From the first time I saw Luke I was like who is that,..? I was hooked.
..
Hey I replied to this already... definitely she has a deeper connection emotionally with Luke as well as the pure animal magnetism going on between them.
Mr Geary gives a fantadtic interpretation of Luke..
I'm on my third time watching these. Thank you so much for posting them writing was so good.
Val K Indeed!!!!
Oh god I'm hooked again! Tony is a legend !!!
NativeMoon They are GOLD together.
Suss I still come back. I'm sooo grateful you did this. If not for you we would not have all this. I've looked only you posted all available n in order
They will always remain the best soap couple ever
She keeps repeating that she loves her husband and doesn't want anything to happen to her marriage. Sounds to me like she's trying to convince herself more than anyone else.
That's the only line that was probably scripted for months LOL!!!
@@paulettegrant9996 happens every day! Except in reality, when couples have been married for years and that "gooey feeling" slips, they think they're not IN love anymore. NOT TRUE......relationships & marriages grow on different levels. It IS important to keep good intimacy if the couple can, but, sadly they confuse their feelings and hit the lawyers office.
Anyway that has nothing to do with this. Laura is JUST AS KID.....she truly did not know what love was until Luke brought it out of her.
She felt safe with Scotty aftet the David situatiom but Luke brought her real feelings as a women in her
@@jacifertik7038 Agree . Scotty was a crutch for her after David Hamilton. A combination of a High school sweatheart love and him being her savior . Her Love for Luke was real love. Spend the rest of my life with you love.
Yada yada yada... let’s move on, Laura!
Thanks for taking the huge amount of time to post these! Wow! Great stuff!
@carjack289 ..yeah.. and everyone who starts watching this seems to survive on much less sleep than usual!! You are not alone!! Addictive times a zillion!!
I remember these scenes like it was yesterday. These two drew you into their love story with all it's twists and turns. Their love was powerful and kept you glued to the screen. Bring back Genie Francis to GH and bring back the Luke we once loved not the drunk Guza has written him as.
lukeloveslauraalways wow good for you. You told it straight ... Straight through the heart. You hit them with your best shot! Love Rosie.
*its twists
Brian is sweet. Wish they kept him on the show.
Glad you are getting to watch. I agree... this was fantastic television and it was obvious why GH was what GH was back then!
Tortured Lovers at this point
Such a diffferent feel to the scenes with them now. she knows she loves him and she can't change that. The conversations are so different. Smart writing on GH's part .God if this happened in present day I'm not too sure it would be this dramatic. Other women would just leave and not give it another thought. But our Laura was always thinking about others.
It is obvious these two people really love each other. Laura may have loved Scotty, but was IN LOVE with Luke. She WAS attracted to Luke. Luke was wrong for what he did but Laura should have gotten the hell out of there, quit the disco and worked elsewhere.
This scene is so very powerful as everyone has commented…. “Laura what have you done to me?” It encompasses the entirety of his overwhelming feelings for her….something of course we find out later he’s never experienced or expected…… something that actually did turn his world upside down…..the great thing is……that the BOOKEND scene to this, done just as amazingly, comes later in the Sticky-Door era where Tony Geary gives an ad-libbed, Emmy winning, tour de force performance outside a door explaining the arc of his character and the need to change. So brilliant!!!!!! Every true love grows or dies!!!! Love these two!!!!
Can you give me any more information about where that scene is? I probably have already seen it but I'd like to know which one he ad libbed.
@@Justicia007 1981 p. 29. Outside the door on what is essentially their “new first date”…….. Gloria just let the camera roll. Emmy number one
@@Justicia007 they are both sooooooo awesome.
@@jeaninehogshead4710oh thank you for identifying the scene that was ad-libbed, and is part of the Emmy reel. I have spent weeks trying to figure it out!
Very good soap writing.
SLOW DOWN LUKE, YOU CAN'T RUN YET...,BUT PACK A BAG...SOON, REAL SOON.
You might love your husband, but you are not IN LOVE with your husband. Big difference. 😉
I know it's more of lust. Than love
Laura's love for Scotty was more High School Sweatheart love. Her love for Luke was real love ! Spend the rest of my life with you love !
JL MARTINEZ
Yes
This is a cautionary tale..
Don’t get married until you‘ve shopped around a LITTLE!
I agree Luke Spencer couldn't have been Luke Spencer without Anthony Geary!! So glad you are enjoying....but don't thank me... send a note to Mr. Geary at the studio.. and thank him! ;-)
Wish he was there to do that but he has disappeared parts unknown
Thx so much for your uploads Of these episodes! Wish the writing was still like this and wish they always kept L and L together
Oh the irony. Scotty wound up being the impetus for LnL to run away just as Luke dreamed. Such phenomenal writing/ acting. I’ve watched this numerous times now.
Scotty saved Luke's life AND gave him Laura...oh, the irony!!! Luke should've thanked Scotty 😉😉
DEFINITELY she has! That's why you, though in your right mind, think she should be with Scott... can't help deny what is between the two of them... it is not just this animal magnetism... they really are better "friends"... so to speak.
I hate that she feels she has to say, "I'm sorry," at 2:18:(( She is being put in a very painful. awkward position by him and I wish they had her be more accepting of her right to be upset at this point...
I just watched Luke confessing what he did 2 Lucky. I was TRANSFIXED!!!! He was SOOO remorseful. So....LOST!!!!!
Zeke sHUMPERT
I have never seen that video, I need to see it, it is time I finally watched it. I generally stay in the 79 to early 82 playlists. I have got to find that video and see what Luke has to say to Lucky.
To anyone reading my comment, if you know what year or playlist I can find the video of Luke explaining this to Lucky I would greatly appreciate any help finding it.
Thank you.
YT site ggmarie1234 1998 "Luke tells Lucky"
It also has 2007 Luke tells Lulu in same clip.
@@christineadams1284 IT'S SAD WATCHING HIS PAIN, WORSE THAN I HAVE EVER SEEN HIM DO BEFORE. HE REPEATS THIS STORY WITH LULU. FRANKLY, I WOULD OF LEFT THIS PART OF THEIR STORY DEAD AND GONE.
I didn't like it at all. He just narrates the rape video all of us have seen a million times from the perspective of the rapist. And then, wins an Emny for it! Let's hear from the victim.
I miss the days when men stood up when women left the table and returned.
Mine still does it after 35 years of marriage. Opens the car door for me, too.
I think Laura is in love with those wedges more than she is anyone or anything lol. She cannot live without those........
They CERTAINLY do!!!!!!!
Bobby made these scenes come to life too.
Oh that dumb Laura! I would take Luke any day of the week over Scottie!
His whole face changes when he gets upset/angry!
I know.. it's completely unfathomable to me too!
LUKE : " WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME"???? IT'S JUST LIKE A MAN TO BLAME A WOMEN. LOL
WELL, LUKE, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT SHE HAS DONE TO YOU.
( SHE FLIRTED WITH YOU,) AND (YOU FLIRTED BACK WITH HER). PLUS SHE WOULD ASK FOR YOUR HELP WITH THINGS.
THE TIME SHE CAME INTO YOUR OFFICE ASKING FOR A JOB. AND I QUOTE...
LUKE: " LAURA, I CAN'T HIRE YOU ".
LAURA: " OH, WHY NOT LUKE" ??? ( SAD FACE )
LUKE: "YOU ARE UNDER AGE"
LAURA: " YOU SERVE PIZZA DON'T YOU"? ( SHE SAYS WITH A BIG SMILE )
LUKE: " YES,
LAURA: " I CAN SERVE PIZZA UNTIL I TURN 18. SHE GIVES HIM A BIG SMILE
LUKE: " OKAY, LAURA, YOU GOT THE JOB...LAURA...GRABBING LUKE'S HANDS AND SAYING
" THANK YOU, LUKE. BIG SMILE FROM LAURA
LUKE: " CAN YOU START TONIGHT? BE HERE AT 8:00PM ".
BUT, JUST TO BE CLEAR...THE TWO OF YOU WERE ALREADY FALLING FOR EACH OTHER.
SHE FELL FOR YOUR SEXY, SWEET, BAD BOY, FUNNY HUMOR, AND ALL AROUND CUTENESS..
AND YOU FELL FOR THAT SWEET SMILING FACE LOOKING UP AT YOU. YOU WERE A GONER.
YOU TWO JUST NEEDED TIME TO WORK THINGS OUT. LNL FAN
She always says she loves her husband but she's still working at that disco after all that has happened.
Do I have the clips of L&L on the run???!!??
... OF COURSE!!!! What do you think... we just keep going with all of this... until when?? You guys will never let me stop!! LOL!!
No Miss Susezq we don’t want you to stop.......because you do it sooooo well. Have a Merry Christmas, youandyoutr family. God bless and thank you.. Love. Rosie
Amazing Acting!!!!!
Bless the GREAT Gloria Monty🙏❣️ Now... How could they make this gorgeous girl wear black tights with light wedges?!?! Sacrilegious 🤷♀️
THAT IS NOT WHAT MOST GIRLS IN THE 80'S WORE. WE HAD GONE THROUGH A CHANGE IN THE EARLY 70'S TO JEANS AND LOSING THE SKIRTS AND DRESSES. WE ONLY DRESSED LIKE THAT FOR WORK, CHURCH, OR SPECIAL OCCASIONS. NOT EVERYDAY. COLLEGE NO WAY. IT WAS JEANS AND A CUTE TOP ALL THE WAY. HER CLOTHES DID BOTHER ME THEN AND STILL DOES.
8:12 yeah that's a dream that's about to come true.....
Laura wanted him, just not like that.
Laura: 'what happened affected me deeply"
Luke: 'it affected me deeply too."
I wish it had 'affected' them deeply. That would've made the sailboat scene more entertaining!
Laura you fell in love with Luke you needed to admit that
Doug Marland was there in 78-79 and then Pat Faulken Smith 79-81... but as I understand Ms. Monty was very much involved in storyline.
I watched an interview years ago that Gloria Monty did. This was ALL her idea. General hospital was actually on the verge of being cancelled (I know shocked me to hear that). Because if genies age she had to get her parents to consent. She said the night before the rape aired she sat everyone down and told them, 1 of 2 things will happen tomorrow....1- we will quickly be cancelled and all out of a job come monday, or 2- we will be the biggest thing in daytime tv and shoot to number 1 in the ratings. However even she never expected it to turn out the way it did. She said the morning after it aired Tony was getting off a plane and the airport was packed with women screaming n holding signs that said "rape me Luke". That last part is a bit sick, but that's what happened. When he came on the show my first thought was ......my Lord this is NOT a good-looking man, where did they find him!?!? But the more he n Laura fell in love with each other the better looking he got. By the time the rape aired was already in love with his love for Laura. If that makes sense?
@BookWarrior9 I KNOW!!!!! That's why there are some of us, who are still grieving the news of GF going to Y&R even now... still can't get enough of L&L and was hoping for a new fix some time soon.
and they want us to believe that she would remarry Scotty! Just ugh!
Yes
I know it is SOOOOOOO ADDICTIVE!!
Renee silvemail Ha ha! I meant the "childhood" of his ficticious character, but yes, I know what you mean! And that, my friend - is just how good the acting was back then:)
Frances Larsen
Absolutely, Genie & Tony were just that good/great. 💞💞💞
How much we love Luke and Laura Laura’s first love was Scottie in real life
Hence the reason for this channel!!
Anyone else notice the parallel when Laura tells Luke to not stop her with the sticky door-era scene outside her apartment where he tells her not to stop him?
They were Laura's... NOT GENIE's... blame it on the wardrobe department!!
the writing was superb. the actors had so much to work with. who was the head writer at that time Sus? where is he or she now? i would love to thank them!
“...Hi Luke”! His face❣️ “Hi Bobbie”! Lol
I think Scott is getting suspicious.
This is wonderful and hilarious watching this in the MeToo era, isn't it?
What excellent writting. Luke telling Laura that he dreams of them running away together plants the seed of that idea in her mind. Sus, do you have the clips of L&L on the run?
La Lake I"m referring to an underlying, repeated theme of a type of manipulation that he does with people, I just chalk it up to his childhood of having to try do whatever it takes to survive I guess.
Lmao we are talking about them like they r real. I thought what u said was great until I realized ....wait there was no childhood LMAO
Renee silvernail
I know, we love this couple and they just drew us in, like we knew them personally. They were just that good together. 💞💞
Look at Luke's expression at 5:10. 5:11 ....... watch how his mouth moves. Turn that frown slightly upside down Luke... (even though it was rape; she said no....) But when she speaks his face gets hopeful....
Were those THE wedges??
Yes! I think so!
the pair & only!!! LOL
Pumped up Kicks.. Loved that tune, Loved wedgie kicks!
❤. Its. Like time stays still. With. Me with Luke and Laura I this scene. Very extraordinary. I mean. I watch. The 2024 scenes different Luke and Laura back then. Different so challenging. ❤
I just have to ask...was ur vcr on ALL the time for GH at 3:00 M-F? I wish we had one then, I would have watched again, again, and again!!!
