Luke and Laura "Day of Reckoning" P3
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июл 2006
- Luke and Laura discuss the fact that he raped her 20 years ago. These scenes offer insight into why Laura forgave him and why Luke will always be obsessed with her.
Tony Geary and Genie Francis are wonderful in these intense scenes but any longtime GH fan can tell you that Luke and Laura actually discussed the rape many times right after it occurred. It was only after Luke and Laura became an incredibly popular pairing (after the first summer on the run) that the discussions were completely dropped and the official version became a seduction. In fact, the encounter was deemed a seduction only once on screen. Basically the issue was ignored for 20 years until General Hospital revisited this dark bit of Luke and Laura's history.

Wow this was so well done. This is exactly how many of us saw this back in79. He was so in love with her, we felt his pain, and we knew that she said no, but we also knew she had already fallen in love with him also. It's screwed up I know!! But we loved them so much and we wanted them together so bad. I won't apologize anymore for loving them together.
Luke is alot like his father his dad was physically abusive, but Luke could be emotionally manipulative sometimes, HiS pain? I will never understand why soap operas seem to glamourize rape.
@@GameOn71213 I started watching in 1977. There is a LOT of episodes that are missing. "Night at the disco" didn't just happen overnight. We all started out cheering for Laura & Scotty. But then Luke appeared (He was not even goodlooking, I thought who's this dweb?). But OMG the intense chemistry & Heat between Luke & Laura was unreal (Never seen before or since). We all knew they were going to come together we just didn't know how it was going to go down. Gloria Monty shocked the hell out of all of us that day. It was HUGE news back then. We were all so torn, but we wanted them together. I can't apologize anymore. They were a huge part of my teen years, I'm always going to love them.
@@yevettebamber4273 that s the sick part because no matter how she loved him it s not an invite to be raped we should have wanted luke dead or at lest do prison time but instead we wanted them together. Happily ever after. That s so sick and twisted
@@GameOn71213 I agree. I love TG as an actor, but the night of the rape, he yelled at Laura, "Look what you've done to me!" Does that justify what he did to her? He seemed to blame her, and tell himself the rape was her fault.
That's very disturbing.
Genie Francis deserved an Emmy this was a wonderful scene of redemption forgiveness by one of the greatest soap opera couples of all time two great actors
mark burguron AMEN!
Luke and Laura. They were the BEST.
The writing here was powerful and the insight into human nature and these two soul mates was profound. It's honest and real and could never be written in the climate of today (2021).
Brilliant writing- beautifully done by these two actors.
This scene was played wonderfully. Both Genie & Anthony did great acting during this scene.
clhp Yes, it was very well played. I think Tony wanted to do this a long time ago because I do not think he felt comfortable with the whole thing then and now. I am glad that they decide to do this because it gives the insight that people have been wondering for years.
@@shannonreynolds624 Agreed. I've read this always bothered him greatly, and GF was disturbed by it, too. How the fans seemed to overlook "that night" and pushed for them to be a couple is really hard to fathom.
Good heaven this is sick. How does Laura blame herself for the rape. The writers must have been sick men.
Genie was robbed many times. She should at the very least have 3 Emmys. JMHO
PS or MORE! Rosie
Why was GF robbed I ask? Is there jealousy in Hollywood, I don’t know the answer. Does anyone know why?
I find it insulting that someone as brilliant as Tony Geary and Genie Francis were and are treated like crap by GH. They are brilliant, and iconic.
They had to rectify the rape/seduction angle Gloria Monty shoved down fans throats! Laura needed to deal with the rape finally and Luke needed justice.
Look that is why many GH fan friends don’t watch or know what the HELL is going on on GH anymore! So helloWe dont watch it anymore! JMVHO! We don’t want to watch GH anymore! Rosie being very honest!Sorry I don’t know about anybody anymore just....ME I have been watching GH since 1974..... So there you go ! It kills me to say this but I don’t watch GH anymore .......at long last! JMVHO. Rosie out......But never, silent!
Tony was NEVER treated like crap, and for all means and purposes they made more money then any other soap stars. Genie was treated not nearly as well as Tony. But they paid for treating Genie like shit. Half the viewers (Maybe more) walked when she did, and then when she would come back ratings would go thru the roof. As long as they had BOTH of them on the show, ratings soared. One left, lots of viewers left and with BOTH gone ratings hit rock bottom. Why do you think ABC begged them back in 93? In 93, Tony refused to come back without Genie and vice versa. He did the Bill Ekart thing but was gonna walk or did for a lil while (Can't remember exactiy). But in 93 I'm pretty sure they were able to write their own tickets baby. LOL
Neither of them particularly liked this storyline. They have both have said it before. GF was never treated as well TG. That is very well known.
The whole "rape/seduction thing was coined by G. Monty to justify saving the show, because ratings began to soar after being perilously close to cancellation. GF and TG somehow pulled it off. But neither was really comfortable going on endless talkshows that glorified their
"great love". Millions of fans thought their love was meant to be, when in truth, it really wasn't.
Magnificent acting by both of these stars!
20 years have gone by and the writers still didn't get it right. SHE apologized? No way! She should not have apologized! The writers got it wrong again.
Agreed! The writers had no clue about how rape affects the victim. NONE of it was GF'S fault, or any other person who is sexually assaulted. This was a great piece of acting by both GH & TG, but the writing was terribly misconstrued.
I'm not liking Laura taking responsibility for any part of the rape...
ruclips.net/video/MkTSx-x4Bfs/видео.html She admitted they made love.
You are correct, he told her to leave many many times and even raised his voice and yelled at her to leave, she did not leave. She kept saying, "I care about you I don't want to leave you here all alone". One must take responsibility for their own actions. It takes two to tango.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? She said "No" as he pulled her down to the ground. "Two to tango". Wow.
@Chesapeake Bay no the rewrite is that it was a seduction. It was always rape until the realized the popular and so called chemistry of l&l that caused the seduction rewrite
@Ninja that's bull it's such a clear description here from her i stood to close i flirted but none of that was an invitation to rape, so she didn't leave? if he really wanted to be alone he also could have left, she was a kid who didn't understand her attraction to him and was still figuring out men, he was a grown man who was resposible for how he responded to her he responded by raping her which was wrong.
@@christineadams1284 it takes two to tango but one to rape, are you honestly saying just because she doesn't leave a room when asked he had the right to shove her to the floor and forcibly have sex with her that's ridiculous, if you watch the disco scene then watch a scence where they actually make love and compare the two one is clearly rape. It's what your seeing as a viewer it doesn't matter what the writters called it later on or how she justifies it with her denial, you saw it with your own eyes.
Trauma bonded. He did grow and evolve as a character and human being. Some do, and some don't. She did to. They did a deep dive into themselves.
The fact she only has 1 Emmy is absurd. Also fan fav couple Emmy never went to Luke n Laura!?!? What world were those voters living in?! Luke n Laura created the super couple!!!
Great acting for a soap! Love Luke and Laura!
Diana Gruver gh needs these writers and products to came back to gh again and write for gh
What a wonderful performance genie frances and tony Geary as Luke and Laura spencer
Best lines of the scene is "when it was over" "you mean, when you were done"
MenaceFan i miss this writers on gh they know gh history and the gh cast and characters also. the writers knows how to do sweeps and good writing for gh back than gh needs these writers and products on gh again now
angela morales. I have not watched in years but they certainly trashed the charecter of Holly having a child with Luke and holding a vaccine hostage. I agree this is good acting.
@@heidithaw1072 agreed, i loved holly and they destroyed her character and completely ignored her history, she lost a child and gh practically dragged her out as a spokes person anytime anyone lost a child, once rewritten she's apparently had a child, given it away all because she liked being a con woman more then despite their miraculous reunion she uses her son from the minute she finds him, it would have made more sense if she'd had roberts child after her accident and kept it a secret after finding out he'd made a family with anna, ethan being lukes made no sense.
@@herdmentality1894 Indeed if they said she had the baby when she was in a coma and her family stole it. Not good writing.
@@heidithaw1072 If the writers had bothered to do their homework, there was no way Holly could have had Ethan. She was in a coma for two years! The writers are pretty irresponsible when it comes to continuity!
I hate everything about this. Laura taking responsibility for her rape and basically absolving Luke for violating her is gross.
You said it! Thanks!
She didn't completely absolve him, but she did take some of the blame onto herself, which is incredibly messed up.
No other soap stars like these two. They made GH huge success.
Camelot of Soaps ❤
Wow. The acting is amazing here.
They are off the chain with their acting abilities
even when they acknowledge that it was rape it still centers around luke and his manpain and then laura blames herself? genie francis deserved better than this crap. "you were the only one who had a right to blame me" wtf, gh.
Even Luke/Tony had that WTF look on his face.
Gh TODAY can't deliver a performance like this!!! This here is bygone era.
After watching OLD GH episode, Laura PASSIVE talk about the rape with Luke in 1979/ 1980 but she did confront Luke about the rape.
But she blamed herself for flirting with him...which is STUPID!
These scenes support both of the characters histories, and story lines yet to be uncovered, at that point. (It would be another 10 years before we'd get to the bottom of the severe emotional damage caused by "Luke's" father.) "Laura" explaining her part in what happend that fateful night at the campus disco supports that fact that the character had always been in trouble -- at 17 she was married and had already been involved in a murder trial over her older lover David Hamilton.
This was the start of growing up for Laura and Luke.
Dang, I forgot just how good GH can be.
You mean how good luke and Laura could be sick as the concept was
That’s because of GF and AG
So many emotions in this scene. I tear up everytime.
LnL story will always be compelling.
It was serendipity that this video appeared on my home feed last year. Ms. Francis’ powerful performance and the writing here pressed a hairline fracture in the dam holding a painful & debilitating secret I’d been holding for decades. Facing and dealing with this has been life-changing. For the remainder of my now what promises to be fantastic life, I will be grateful for the talent of Ms Francis and the writers.
No, it's not okay. Twenty years of mostly happiness does not erase rape. Nothing does, under any circumstances. Sorry.
Bye Felicia
@@MargDBX You must be old.
@@the_petty_crocker GFY
@@MargDBX Your elegance is aspirational!
I agree, I never understood why they tried to make them as romantic is beyond reason. 🤦
This was an excellent show!
WAS, is the magic word.
Good grief how they glory such disfunction. And for soo long. 🙄
This is some sick, twisted excuse of a confrontation.
It’s tragic how Luke doesn’t seem to be aware how much like his father he is. His father was more physically abusive but Luke used words to justify and manipulate.
Omg is laura really saying basically she asked her for it. That luke should blame her. My head is spinning. I guess people are complicated. Laura's saying she wanted him but she said no no no . So not sure how it's her fault. Luke thought he was going to die & i think he thought hed be killed & took what he wanted which was laura. But he didnt die & she was traumatized. This writing really shocked me. I could see her forgiving him but I'm not ok with her saying she did it !
I can put it this way I had a deep crush as a teen on a boy. We were best friends & he must have known I loved him. If I even knew what love meant. One day he tells me he is starting to be attracted to me which was exciting . We were at a party and when nobody was looking he ran towards me and started kissing me & trying to rip my button down open it took me by surprise & I didnt like how he was manhandling me it didnt feel like love but him being lustful & my instinct was to scream no & I did but he kept working my shirt open til someone came in & he pulled away fast. After that we stopped really talking. So even though I had a crush on him.wgich he knew I said no. I was humiliated by the way he just kinda treated me as property . So I think laura similarly had a crush but luke was being pushy & she didnt like that & they slid to the floor her screaming no. No means no even if u flirt or have a crush it doesnt mean u should be ok with him.fircing himself
I think many women/girls have similar experiences with drunken men (dates/ friends) 2 some degree or another even w/ husbands that don’t Listen 2 them saying no! L&L is just a story that started out 1 way & ended up in a completely different direction. I think she may have been willing at some point/later, but no1 wants 2b manhandled & treated like meat! I always wondered if was the disrespect of her body & her being by a friend didn’t angered Laura most of all.
I’m so sorry 4 your experience.
So true.. how many women have the same experience ?
@Judith Jerde oh thanks its OK. I was 14 a few years younger than laura thankfully it didn't go further. This boy I mean I had such a crush on him unrequited for years & then when he just started attacking my blouse I screamed b/c I wanted to be courted not treated like a blow up doll. Maybe a kiss or asked out. Just went at me. Sad thing is when he stopped talking to me I blamed myself. Now I know better as if he really cared for me he wouldn't have done that. He def knew I had a crush on him I'd had since 6th grade ! So i think in how laura related this I think it struck a chord that laura had a crush on Luke I can def buy that but she also said the right thing thank God " but it wasn't an invitation to rape me " so laura was 17 Luke close to 30 & sounds like she crushed on her older boss. Still rape is never OK. Laura sounds like she didn't want Luke to go to prison b/c this was very complicated too much for a 17 year old kid & on top of it she was traumatized. Honestly the story wasn't intended to be laura falls for Luke. Sadly they had already written the rape & the fans were buzzing big time about this couple so the writers had no choice. They rode the wave the fans wanted. Also it was a different time. We get wiser & as more studies & analysis is done we learn more.
Sometimes I do forget tho.....Luke must have had a screwed up life....I mean Bobbie was a prostitute!
After they brought this back up……it dominated the subject of General Hospital until Anthony Geary retired.
Very good acting 🎭 and writing shows the complexity of a situation that in real life would be down to simply “victim” and “ monster “ he is right by rights the night in the disco should have ended it I like how she does not sugar coat what he did “when you were done “ and explains her side of it yet clearly says she was not asking to be raped just to get away from Scotty they were a great acting 🎭 team
Laura talks from the heart
What a Love story! 🌹
TG & GF did a superb job finally bringing that terrible night into the open. But I didn't like how Laura felt she was also to blame by by standing too close, dressing suggestively, etc. The rape was NOT her fault. Luke admitted he heard her screaming "no!". It wasn't consensual, it wasn't a rape/seduction. It was rape. This was inexplicably glossed over in the '80's when ratings shot through the roof and saved GH. People who didn't see how LnL came to be are
Are appalled about the rape. Gloria Monty spun the rape/seduction ploy, the viewers ate it up, and the rest is soap history. But both GF and TG objected to it, and knew they weren't supposed to be the supercouple of the century. They both tired of being on numerous talk shows with the wedding playing in the background.
I think by the end of LnL, they'd both had it.
Luke spencer aka tony Geary a wonderful actor
As great as this scene is, it is SHAMEFUL. Luke shouldn't blame Laura for anything. So she wanted him, so she flirted...whatever. He RAPED her. Laura has nothing to apologize for and I can't believe the writers got this wrong...AGAIN!!!!
Thanks so much for saying that. Sorry GH writers, rape is rape.
Was this right around the time that young Elisabeth Webber got SA herself? I remembered that Lucky found her and comforted her and then he found out that his father Luke SA his mother all those years ago. Liz and Lucky ended up hitting it off later on. I love how during this entire scene they cut the music out almost completely until the end. It was very intense listening to the silence in the room while two people FINALLY addressed the elephant in the room. However I frankly was quite appalled and confused by Laura here. I don’t understand how she thinks it’s her fault. Luke should have been in jail for what he did to her. He was after all the adult. It’s no wonder why Lucky got so furious with both of his parents.
Yeah, there abouts. I found some videos about it on FB and here. Lucky ran into Nikolas. Nikolas tries to build peace saying he had talked to Laura. Lucky says don't even say her name after what your dad did to her. Nik tells Lucky that's rich coming from you after what your dad did and Nik tells Lucky. Lucky doesn't believe N so he does some research and talks to Scotty. He confronts Luke who tell Lucky what happened then Laura comes back to town and Lucky confronts her about it.
How does anyone explain away rape? The writers did a great job here in their attempt to romanticize it. Both Luke and Laura knew exactly what it was, they both ADMIT it during this conversation. Luke knew how young and inexperienced Laura was. And Laura married Scott out of some adolescent fantasy and had no idea what marriage even meant. They were two people on a collision course with each other. And the fact that they ended up having a life together never made sense to me. In real life it would have never lasted. I think them getting married and forever being on the run after that was the writers way of keeping it going. If there had been no danger, no left-handed boy, no Cassadines, no Ice Princess then they would have imploded much sooner rather than later. It was all nothing but a long, drawn out romanticized adventure story. The Laura of today would have never held Luke's attention for one second. And I don't think she would have given him a second glance either....this story could have never been told in today's time. The fans would have decimated the show for it.
I assume you were around to see this all from the beginning. So we will have to agree to disagree. Regardless of our difference of opinion I think we can agree they were a huge part of our young teenage years, and the chemistry between them was so intense I'm surprised our tv's didn't go up in smoke. I saw an interview where Gloria Monty said she had a long talk with TG, GF, and Genie's Dad before they decided to go with "Night At The Disco" (Thats what I prefer to call it). Gloria said, at this point the ratings were quickly climbing, but ABC was still talking about cancelling GH. So she told all 3 of them, in 48hrs we will be the biggest thing on Daytime tv OR they will run us out of town on a rail and cancel us within a week. They all agreed to "Roll The Dice". But they NEVER expected the fans reaction would be what it was, and it freaked TG out when the next day he stepped off a flight to 100s of screaming fans. It bothered him very much to see women holding signs that said "Rape Me Luke". He was able to put a stop to those signs pretty quickly by addressing them, rather then ignoring them. He let them know that such signs were not only disrespectful, they were painful, heart breaking to women whom had been thru the trauma of rape.
Very well said and true.The rape storyline would not had been accepted in this current era.
@@lawandahenderson9615 They should have reversed the roles or made it two men.
Good post. That scene was turned into some kind of "bodice ripper" from a Harlequin novel, where being taken by a man was supposed to indicate how irresistible the female is. Not ever right.
They wouldn't *dream* of writing something like this today. It would never fly, and they know it. People know better now. (Well, maybe not. A lot of people still think their story is romantic.)
Only a man would say, "I found away to be for you to be faithful to your husband and love me."
I still can get past the fact that she married her rapist! How they became the best couple in daytime after rape just blows my mind! How do you claim to love someone and then rape them?
This poor guy seems to have never heard of forgiveness, redemption, repentance, grace. I know it’s only fiction but God’s love is higher than the law.
Luke is so much like his abusive father. What I hate the most about Luke is that he has a justification, a rational for everything and when it's ugly he wraps it up in tears and a tormented soul to make it easier to ram down your throat. Master manipulator.
Robert Greer. I absolutely agree with you. I was never as enamored of their relationship because it was a rape. Tony Geary is a good actor because Luke was not really agood guy.
TG is a wonderful actor, but he was always disturbed by this and never called it a "seduction". He called out to the entire cast that it was rape! As a teenager, I watched this "love" story unfold, and I thought it was weird that a girl my age would want a guy so much older than her, not to mention a guy who raped her!Gloria Monty pulled off nothing short of a miracle, turning a rape into a seduction, then true love, then, the wedding with a guest list of over 30 million. Somehow, the public went for it, ratings soared, and
all was forgiven. And Scotty was vilified. Luke was glorified. And Laura wept tears of pure joy at her wedding. This was perhaps the most improbable storyline in soap history (give or take a 1000) but it became a phenomenon. What the public didn't know was that the person first in line to pull the plug on Luke & Laura was Luke (Tony Geary himself). He grew tired of the role that shot him to stardom, but also permanently typecast him as Luke Spencer, and he could never move beyond the role and on to other projects. He's happily retired in Amsterdam, where he says no one recognizes him, and he sounds relieved and content.
Laura went on to marry Kevin Collins, and seems perfectly happy and content. And GF has stated how nice it's been to work with her 2nd soap husband. I guess all's well that ends well, but what "a
long, strange trip it's been". R.I.P L & L (and Jerry Garcia).
Katy Dalton definitely reached a level of phenomenon in the world of soaps and culture. I’m grew up watching it and was always mindful of the fact that Bobbie Spencer was the one who championed her brother to manipulate Laura in order for her to get her hands on Scottie. Everything falls into place when you’re mindful of that. The Spencer’s had a hard and traumatic upbringing and the really good thing about the writing is that time to time they used that to stay consistent about their psychological foundations. Laura too came from trauma, being stolen as an infant and being raised by parents in Canada only to find out they are not your birth parents and her marriage at a very young age. Genie Francis once said of Laura that she always wants to do the right thing, not fully taking into account her own feelings and wants, what makes everyone else happy. She truly is one of the best, strongest and most complex characters in day time history.
Bye Felicia
I never kept up with them-. When Laura disappeared, the story line got so crummy!😠
Rick Wagner is clearly off his meds
This is why my life went astray
Yeah... I'm going to blame Gen Hospital too 😂 I was beyond addicted to Luke and Laura from 1979 and on.. I was 13 when the rape scene aired. What a HORRIBLE message to send to young women viewers, which was Gloria Montys target audience. The chemistry between them was real though... that rape scene should never have happened.
Wtf? Thanking him for not blaming her??
This is so weird. What a weird storyline!
the best couple ever
Um... did you watch the video?
I still laugh at the so called Daytime Emmys. Come on really? Susan Luci didnt get an Emmy til her last year, Genie didn't get one til 09, and my FAVORITE JOKE of all??? Favorite soap COUPLE never once went LUKE & LAURA?! STFU!!!
That is not true. Susan Lucci got her award way, WAY before her last year. It was during the Bianca eating disorder storyline, even before Bianca became a teenager.
That was a fix for sure. Someone had a hand in that. They were the best soap couple to ever grace the Soaps. No doubt about it, no other couple comes near. Chemistry off the charts, most viewers watching only GH back in the day. GF and AG are household names. Nobody else has that title. Dynamite duo❤
Laura made a comment about "not being raped, that they made love" in a scene that is posted... too confused...think it was the drama of the day.
ruclips.net/video/MkTSx-x4Bfs/видео.html
You keep posting this link on LnL videos and it means NOTHING. She is now calling it rape so it is rape.
@Chesapeake Bay a scene written 2 years after the initial storyline and at the height of Luke and Laura. Of course they wouldn't call it rape they were ABCs bread and butter. They weren't going to give that up by admitting the truth
Welcome to the inconsistency and retconning of soap operas. Tony Geary was only supposed to be on the show 13 weeks and killed off. So the writers put in the rape. But when he proved to be a popular character and signed on longterm, they had to somehow "explain away" the rape in order to make LNL the super couple we know they eventually became. Basically, the writers came up with it was a "seduction" and "they made love." (Forced seduction was a popular theme in romance novels back then,). Then came the 90s and that BS didn't fly anymore so the writers wrote this storyline of LNL admitting and then coming to terms with what really happened.
Luke raped Laura. Luke was supposed to die. But Another Geary was so popular that GH decided to keep him and so they changed the storyline from rape to rough sex. They addressed it 20 years later, but still got it wrong, by Laura blaming herself.
This hasn’t aged well.
All of us who were there from the beginning 1970's forward (ya know us old ppl LOL) completely disagree with you. She was in love him before "Night at the disco". We all knew that and he was madly in love with her. We KNEW shyt was gonna go down, the only question was when, where, how? We were stunned or as Genie & Tony said Gloria Monty certainly knew how to get ppl's attention. But the chemistry between them was already so intense before "Night At The Disco" there was no going back. I don't like Laura taking any responsibility for the rape, however aside from that everything said in this conversation is how we all saw it back then. There are a LOT of episodes missing before "Night At the disco". Because until L&L sucked the whole damn country into GH, soap operas had very little money. They had to reuse film, in fact up til 1979 when GH sucked us in the budgets were so bad they often had to go "LIVE". They HAD to know their lines and know how to ad-lib if needed. I can't imagine the pressure they were under. This intense relationship built up for a YEAR before "Night at the disco". But on youtube it looks like he just showed up and raped her.
@@yevettebamber4273 yeah. I don’t really care the backstory consent is mandatory and trying to justify rape is exactly that. You could say ‘Luke and Laura both grew and learned from this and Luke would never do this again and if Laura has forgiven him it’s not up to anyone else to decide….but you’ve tried to downplay rape and that’s not great. This hasn’t aged well. No amount of backstory changes that rape is rape. We could take this as a learning moment for men or we could try and justify it…let’s try and make this conversation she a little bit better. And I’m sure you’re right that many people pre 1970 disagree these are the same people who made laws saying it was a girls responsibility to not let her bra strap show in school to not distract boys, the same generation that said go put a sweater on Uncle X is coming over, the same generation who blame victims when they are raped. So maybe take a lesson and move forward instead of defending a rapist.
It doesn’t matter if he just showed up and raped her or if there was a year of backstory before the rape. Rape is always wrong.
What year was this
It was 1998. I think it was the summer or fall.
When you were done..
Has she changed at all❤
Luke’s biggest regret in his life was raping Laura. ( Not excusing the rape.)
Its funny people be saying Thomas and Hope (Bold and the beautiful) should not be together because he kept her baby was alive secert😂 But this couple got billions of people got to watch their wedding
Your just like your Father Luke. I’ve always Loved❤️You tho
I don't like revisiting.
The current bozos who write for Gh nowadays could learn a lot from this!
Was that why Laura went into a catatonic state
No. It was because of Rick Webber's murder (I never forgave GH for that).
@@marcelparker6755 saying he molested her, which is total BS.
How old was Luke then, if she was 17
In another scene (sometime in 1998, I think), I believe Luke said he was 15 years older than her, so that would've made him 32 or so.
lol
Why did Laura marry Luke after he raped her,it doesn't make sense
Ya had to be there. They were in love with each other before that terrible night at the disco. Wish you could have seen so much of the cat & mouse, back & forth, Push & Pull that went on between them before that night AND after. So much of the video's from back then are long gone (Many taped over because Soaps had a very low budget). Of course once L&L turned daytime tv into nighttime ratings General Hospitals budget went through the roof and made Genie and Tony millionaires.
Because Tony was so popular, the GH writers decided to keep him instead of killing him off so they had to "clean it up."
Their chemistry was insane. I was 13. This show drew in young girls and young women. Luke was obsessed with her and we felt smart her character did... we wanted to be loved to the point of obsession. Back in the 80s we didn't know how dangerous it was to be with a narcissist... we were young. I pray this would not fly today.
LOL WHEN HE WAS DONE
Which ship is more popular?stefan \laura, laura/ kevin or luke/ laura
Considering the ratings L&L win hands down. Laura has NO chemistry with Kevin. I did feel sadness for Stephon thou. Though if Stephon has TRUELY loved her he would have helped her excape and get home to Luke.
Are you kidding? To this day Luke & Laura's wedding is STILL the highest rated 2 episodes in Daytime tv history!!! Not just "Soap Opera History" ALL of daytime tv history.
This may not be a popular reply, but I like her best with Kevin, out of the choices given. He's closer to her age, treats her with kindness and respect, and I think he's attractive. Their relationship is "normal; no running from Frank Smith for years,
their house getting shot up by a mob. Laura actually had to shoot and kill one of the intruders to save Luke. Exciting stuff, but when the smoke cleared (literally)
Luke just couldn't adjust to being married with a family and a home.
He was an adrenaline junkie, and Laura grew up and wanted to put down roots. She wanted a sense of normalcy. She finally got it with Kevin. p.s. I liked her with Scotty, too.
@@katharinedalton839although it will always be L&L for me. There is nothing wrong with ur choice. At least ur honest n not following the crowd.
It's clearly Luke and Laura. I thought Laura had a ton of chemistry with Stefan though. The scenes of them during the era where it came out that Nikolaus was his son (well...not really, but Stefan and Laura thought so for many years) were intense and well acted.
She very aptly describes how young girls have crushes but don't understand that some older men can misinterpret a pure infatuation with a come on. She wanted his attention but not what went with it. Scottie was a decent man, Laura did not know men like that existed.
Amazong acting...in 1979 and when this was played out...was it 99 or 2000?...I HATED the way they wrote Laura out *Nervous Breakdown*...BS!!!
This scene is from 1998.
Co dependent no more!
I just realized I don't actually like either one of these characters. They're both completely self-absorbed. They put themselves and each other on pedestals and take turns falling off and pushing each other off. They're both obnoxious and dramatic and need to be the center of attention. Yuck.
it did come in the form of your son
when he ask questions
It’s a joke!!
They milked that "rape" for all it was worth! Wow! She fell into "crazy love" with him long after the rape and married him. I call that forgiveness but hey, we have to drama for a soap opera....
She was in love with him before the rape. I kept asking my MOM....When the hell are they gonna put L&L together?! We knew it would happen, but when, where, how?! Man we sure didn't see that night at disco coming!
o m g she was asking for it
NO WOMAN "ASKS" TO BE RAPED. JUST TO BE CLEAR.
Dysfunction... on both characters!
