Back then I had no idea that TG was as old as he was nor did I realize that Genie was as young as she was, a testiment to both of them and their marvelous acting and chemistry together.
@@rodspear That's be impressive! since they were on the set day after day, it probably. makes sense that they might understand the characters enough to play with the dialogue.
LOVE Lukes reaction to Lauras dress! You can tell Laura did that on purpose, not in a mean way but maybe just to get Lukes reaction, which she sure did!!!
@dc8058 Yes, never when I am watching do I think about their age discrepancy.... GF pulled it off with flying colors... she was amazing at such a young age... but when I step back it is very interesting that they had such a young girl worke with an older more seasoned actor as a love interest. ...however Ms. Monty was obviously a genius!!! She KNEW what she was doing with this pairing.
Unless I'm wrong, this is the first episode of Laura back to work at the disco since trying everything to get her back. Thank You Sussezq, for sharing all this Gold. It's the 2nd time I'm watching..:)
Luke is awesome: “Alright, I’ll initial this one-but you tell this JIVE TURKEY that it’s the last tab he runs in my joint…” Then Luke knocks back a shot…😂
@@susanmartin313 yes that to.. but that is the first sexy dress I ever saw Laura warring? Laura is so pretty. Well I hope MR. Smith just leaves her alone for God’s sake just let her do her job! JMVHO! Rosie out!
She was really naïve.... don't think she would ever consider someone as worldly as Luke, who had the attention of most of the woman in Port Charles would ever think twice about her.
sussezq This is sooo true Luke turned out to be a real heel flirt. I don’t think he loved Laura as much as he thought he I’d. Sorry but later on in different storylines. Luke broke up some marriages. Luke had his way with his best friends wife Holly. She had Luke son they made it seem that the baby was Roberts son. Either so the storylines and writers say?
LAURA, I THINK YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE LUKE JEALOUS HERE. YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO WALK IN FRONT OF LUKE LIKE THAT. LUKE: WOW!!! THAT'S ALL RIGHT!!! LAURA: I BOUGHT IT FOR THE LAS VEGAS TRIP...SCOTTY AND I ARE GOING TO MAKE IT THE VACATION WE ARE GOING TO REMEMBER FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES. (SHE SAYS, WHILE SNUGGLING UP TO SCOTTY BOY AND SMILING AT LUKE) WOMAN, YOU ARE LEARNING TO TEASE VERY WELL. AND I THINK YOU ARE ENJOYING HAVING TWO MEN WHO WANT YOU. CHOOSE ONLY ONE. YOU KNEW EXACTLY WHAT YOU WERE DOING...SHAME, SHAME, SHAME, IF YOU WANT LUKE OUT OF YOUR LIFE...STAY AWAY, STOP BATTING YOUR BABY BLUES AND GIVING HIM THAT CUTE LITTLE SMILE OF YOURS. IF YOU CAN.LOL
Yes I read that he said that sometimes he felt like a dirty old man.... but GF and Laura just didn't SEEM 17.... so I don't think anyone really thought about it.... she could have easily been mid twenties.
Oh Laura was such a beautiful teen! Oh to be able to wear such a dress! I read once that TG(15 years older than her) often wondered why nobody seemed to find this strange.
Maybe we didn't know? I thought they were all supposed to be in college or college adjacent. I was only 11, so what did I know? Luke still looks in his early 20s to me in these scenes.
Hey Sus! Love the clips! I spent a lot of the the night catching up on the ones that you added yesterday. I'm watching 89, and I'm really enjoying all of these clips! Things are interesting! Laura's got to go back to the police? What's all that about/ Interesting! I'll watch the rest tomorrow.
You only see this dress this one time. Can you imagine if she was wearing this during future situations... Don't want to say too much... but let's just say Luke would have had a fit if she had worn this on a date with Robert... Oh Man!!!!!
yeah you never saw it again. The only time you'll see Laura dressed in something cutesy is for the disco. Otherwise it's wrap-a-round skirts 24/7. I'm surprised her PJ's aren't wrapped.......
I recently read that GF said that she and KS started to date right she turned 16 which would have been 1978. She said they were together for a year. So I think by end of the summer of 1979 they may have broken up. i would it would have been awkward for them to still have scenes together. However it may have easy later on to play their fighting scenes as Genie's character really became more involved with Luke. LOL. But Genie and Kin did remain friends to this day
I’am so happy about that. Am glad that they are still friends. At least some are unfortunately to bad you can’t say it for all who where very close... To me that is damm sad! Rosie
Am glad that GF and KS are still friends. It is very sad that you can’t say the same about TG and GF. I don’t know how that could have happen? You would think that with all the time TG and GF spent working hard as a loving couple well ( play a loving couple on a soap) for a long time together they would still be the best of friends? Sorry but it sounds to me that friendships to me in Hollywood that there days are numbered, or that they changes as fast as they changed there socks? Damn am so sorry Hollywood friendship don’t last that long. One minute you are the best of friends. The next you are mortal enemy’s. Damn Hollywood wow what a damn shame. Thank you Rosie
@@eddiecater1429 Not surprised. She can play a bunch of instruments, also. And they both approved their singles to be played at the Campus Disco. Who knew?
@sussezq Your reply to ZanneMar about it bothering TG to make such a comment is about which comment? The original comment you are replying to is not showing up on my computer.
Just now noticed something.... the dress she is wearing for Vegas is the same dress she is wearing under the blue blazer during the Ice Princess auction. Poor Luke missed out on an exciting night... look closely for yourselves...
@sonyab1974 Oh you had to be there Sonya... we were watching as I was posting and I was just curious.. it was just a way to keep me entertained as I did the work of editing, and uploading.
Wendy The Author and Artist Jaguar once said in an interview for a Rolling Stone Magazine, “it’s just a beat. 4 on the floor. Just ask Charlie”. Then he laughed. Their great song Miss You was a great disco song. So was Emotional Rescue, but slow. I loved your comment. It also made me remember Disco Roller Skating . 😂
That was my point.. .. there just didn't seem like that big an age difference; whether she seemed older, he seemed younger.... but TG KNEW there was, and it obviously bothered him a little to make such a comment.
Too funny, Brian needed a break from dancing and Claudia asked Laura if Ben Vereen had been asking for her. I had no idea who Ben was so I looked him up, very nice looking man. 😍 Benjamin Augustus Vereen is an American actor, dancer and singer. Vereen gained prominence for his performances in the original Broadway productions of the musicals Jesus Christ Superstar, for which he received a Tony Award nomination, and Pippin, for which he won the 1973 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical.
TG attended a conventional high school, went to college, experienced the world of work, was in his mid 30s and kissing a 17 yo. He probably did feel like a dirty old man. Also TG had 2 younger sisters. It could have even been disturbing to him. Ashton Kutcher said in an interview, that he wondered if he would get arrested kissing Mila Kunis on “That 70s Show.”
@@karenoneal4660 Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis eventually got married in real life. But I did hear that she was surprisingly young when she did "That 70s Show" with Ashton Kutcher. How old was she and how old was he when they did the show? Wasn't she something like 14???
Rebecca Self The drinking age in NY at this time was still 18. Laura turned 18 in December 1979, Genie is six months younger than Laura and will turn 18 in real life in May.
Genie Francis and Kin Shriner were involved off-screen at this point, and had been for some time, so I would guess Genie was certainly comfortable with *their* age difference! :) I think TG's about 10 (?) years older than KS, so I don't know about her comfort level regarding him.
Boy Scotty doesn't seem interested in dancing with what's her name. Shoot forgot her name. And oh oh I am starting to like Frank Smith! ROFL! He is so charming. Sussezq why do you want to know who gets here first? ROFL!
Back then I had no idea that TG was as old as he was nor did I realize that Genie was as young as she was, a testiment to both of them and their marvelous acting and chemistry together.
No one else on daytime spoke like Luke. He was unique in his dialogue at the time.
Yes. The dialogue was pretty fast paced for back then too. They must have had great writers to go with the actors.
I understand that some of Luke's dialogue was ad-libbed
@@rodspear That's be impressive! since they were on the set day after day, it probably. makes sense that they might understand the characters enough to play with the dialogue.
LOVE Lukes reaction to Lauras dress! You can tell Laura did that on purpose, not in a mean way but maybe just to get Lukes reaction, which she sure did!!!
Laura had such a sour look on her face when Luke mentioned Vegas... I wonder if that had anything to do with it.
This is when Scotty should of got a clue
Oh yea she did that on spite because she neber bought that sexy drrss
@@eddiecater1429 Scotty is a clueless IDIOT
And she was obviously trying to make Luke jealous by touching and kissing Scotty like she did.
Lol Luke’s reaction to that dress is brilliant ❤️ and come across very spontaneously. Sigh omg I love these two
And Scott doesn't bat an eye while Luke openly drools all over his wife.
LUKE, COULDN'T HIDE HIS COMMENT ABOUT LAURA'S DRESS FOR THE VEGAS TRIP. WOW!!!!
Scott is just clueless 🙄
I loved the way Luke smiled at Laura when she walked up to the bar.
I LOOOOOVE that backless dress! Not the front, just the style of the back. For those years, good job Laura!!!
Love that they’re playing all the original dance/disco hits from back in the day!!
Patrice Rushen's "Havent You Heard" sounds so good in the background!!
Love it...it takes me back!
All the playlists take me back. I am 70 yrs young and I remember ALL of the music!
Luke's reaction to her dress right in front of Scotty was kind of funny.
Scotty looks real enthused about dancing, it looks like he is about to take a nap. 😂🤣
HaaaHaaaa Haaaaaa 🤣
Lol
"Wow, that's alright!" Luke was too much
@dc8058 Yes, never when I am watching do I think about their age discrepancy.... GF pulled it off with flying colors... she was amazing at such a young age... but when I step back it is very interesting that they had such a young girl worke with an older more seasoned actor as a love interest. ...however Ms. Monty was obviously a genius!!! She KNEW what she was doing with this pairing.
They didn’t seem that far apart in age. GF was mature for her age
Unless I'm wrong, this is the first episode of Laura back to work at the disco since trying everything to get her back. Thank You Sussezq, for sharing all this Gold. It's the 2nd time I'm watching..:)
Did anyone else notice Luke's face fall when Frank Smith said Jennifer was coming? Poor Luke, lol.
LOL at Scotty's dancing!
Coheedfan
Yeah, Scotty really isn't the best dancer but at least he tries. 😁
I enjoy this play list and the storyline the quality of tape is fine with me.i thank u.
Rebecca Self
Isn't it wonderful. 💕
Are you addicted yet? 😁
I didn't see this part about dress. It makes me smile when I see these episodes.
I love that, her innocence and naïve nature made her likable for me and I could relate to her very much.
Luke is awesome:
“Alright, I’ll initial this one-but you tell this JIVE TURKEY that it’s the last tab he runs in my joint…”
Then Luke knocks back a shot…😂
Yeah... it was gret because TG acted it so well... as if it caught him by suprise and he just reacted and didn't think about it.
It seems like the only one who really knows how to dance is Luke! The rest of them smh.....
"Jive Turkey", love Luke's lingo from this era. 💟☮️✌️ 6:39.
Laura laid it on a little thick when she was buying that dress......
Laura's learning to play the game now
@@susanmartin313 yes that to.. but that is the first sexy dress I ever saw Laura warring? Laura is so pretty. Well I hope MR. Smith just leaves her alone for God’s sake just let her do her job! JMVHO! Rosie out!
Laura never bought that dress it’s not her style she only did that to tease Luke
Thank you all so much for keeping me company while i do this!
She was really naïve.... don't think she would ever consider someone as worldly as Luke, who had the attention of most of the woman in Port Charles would ever think twice about her.

Has anyone noticed that Frank Smith is always the oldest person at the Disco?
MONICA JONES He’s the owner.

@wrjsell I thought so too, Scotty was such a bafoon & clueless, he had no idea that Luke had a thing for Laura, he had to be blind.
And a really 'lazy' dancer
Well to be truthful TPTB made him blind. ;-)
@@susanmartin313 lol… you’re a hoot!!
You can tell Scotty so in love with Laura in his unsexy way
Oh Laura was such a beautiful teen! Oh to be able to wear such a dress! I read once that TG(15 years older than her) often wondered why nobody seemed to find this strange.
My Dad was 20 years older than my mom.

Laura showing off that dress to Luke. Luke and his WOW. 😂
I'm surprised that Scotty didn't go all protective of Laura when Luke made a comment about her dress.

Scott dances like a sloth and Laura isn't much better.
IKR? Neither one of them light up a dance floor, but at least they're not at Alex Q. levels of annoying.
Thanks goodness for that!
Nutty Cassadine cooled Alex off, turned her into popsicle. Just reward. So always wished Roberto ended up working b Laura,

Did anybody catch that? Luke introduces Laura as his #1 girl around here. I ain't never been nobody's #1 girl.
It still cracks me up to hear Luke introduce Laura as his #1 girl. I've been a cocktail waitress. No promotions. No raises.

Frank Smith did not look pleased about Laura going to police headquarters.
How is she allowed to work here at 17?
I thought Laura couldn't serve drinks that were alcohol.
