What a powerful episode this was. I hated that Scotty was thinking of striking Laura. I wonder how hard that scene must have been to tape for both of them. Genie and Kin were great in their peformance in this episode.
I felt so badly for Scotty during this scene. I remember watching back in the 80s, and even then, I could just imagine how "played" he felt. That helped me have a bit of compassion for him even though he became an angry and bitter man. The writers were so awesome back then! They sent our emotions on a roller coaster ride...lol. We were all over the place--didn't know who to love or hate because each character had so much depth! Boy, I miss that today!
I can remember me and some of my friends either staying home or leaving school early just so we would not miss this episode. When Scotty found that letter....it was like "Holy Cow Batman!"
Whoa, Scotty's world crashing down on him. What a horrible realization. His sniffling as he reads the letter...oh, poor guy. I can understand how he thinks it reads like a love letter, because it was really written with love. I'm almost relieved for Laura...she's kept this bottled up too long. It was too much for her to bear. His almost hitting her and saying, "I hate you" Scotty really hit a new low here. Great job, Kin and Genie. Luke showing off that boat...like it's any substitute for Laura.
Its so funny because on today's show 9/23/20, Bobbie was telling Scotty that she wasn't going to be with him anymore and remind him of who he is now. It was quite an interesting conversation.
Contrary to what some people believe, I don't believe that Luke "did a number on Laura" on the sailboat. He made her face own her true feelings, made her actually face something head on for once instead of continuing to hide.
Just because someone is attracted to a person doesn't mean they should marry them. Luke was determined that Laura was the "one" but, as things turned out, life and priorities tore them apart. Not that Scotty and Laura were the right couple. Laura was too young and immature for marriage and should have waited.
@@ellyreginald6546 Yes I would agree with both of you. In my option Laura had to face her fears and go on with her life. Come what may she should have stuck it out. Stayed in school get a job and make her way alone Laura’s parents would have stood beside her and helped. Also sorry but Laura should have also seemed help with her emotions and try to get the guidance she needed to help make better decisions. Look in the long run it became so ugly and dark it took a turn for the worse! JMVHO. Love and sadness Rosie!
After the sailboat scene, I would tell Luke that I don't believe his talk of love. It's all a game & he's a player that wants a conquest of her, then drop her. If he really wanted her, he wouldn't give her the keys & tell her to go. He could be saying the same thing to Jennifer. I think that would've been a good scene to act out.
Seeing all the episodes from the months before make this scene so much more incredible! This is bascially the moment when Scotty turns from a good guy to a bad guy. He's just so disillusioned. I always hated Scott but now I understand how he turned into that bitter guy. They're both such incredible actors!
Actually, Scott was always a bastard towards Laura. Luke loved and respected her much more, whereas Scotty treated her as a child. It sucks the rape soiled their relationship.
This episode originally aired 11years, 9 months, and 3 days before I was born. And I'm hooked! I can't stop watching, OMG. My heart is beating so fast. And I can't believe he raised a hand to Laura! OMG!!! I guess when you're that angry. But really, I've never liked Scott, but I never thought he'd raise a hand to Laura either. I s'pose the writers had to do that to make certain the audience would root for Luke with what happens next and all. Bravo Genie, Bravo Kin!
I am glad you said that.... makes ALL the posting worth it. I agree.. the story in it's entirety is bigger than it's individual parts (though they are incredible). Kin Shriner and Genie Francis were amazing in these scenes... and she was so very, very young!
This is one of my all-time favorite scenes of the Luke & Laura storyline. Talk about intense! The scene where Scotty confronts Laura. I usually don't repeatedly watch the more unpleasant scenes, but this one is an exception. The depth of the acting & the depth of FEELING these actors put into their characters really made them real for so many people. And we STILL, all these years later, can just lose ourselves in the story. I really feel for Laura here. You can see how hard her struggle is.
Oh. My. God. Scenes like those are why I love soaps. Kin is so much more amazing than I ever thought he was. I feel kind of silly for thinking that gh in the 90s was awesome. I clearly didn't know what I was missing.
Well you couldn't know how good the 80's were if you never saw them, don't knock yourself! Glad you are enjoying now... and I agree Kin Shriner was GREAT... when he had something to play!
Yes it was a complicated story with lots of levels and intertwined emotions. It was very well done. There is no right, no wrong... it just was what it was.... lot's of gray.
Oh my friggin lanta, I'm holding my breath while Scotty's yelling at her. And it's an unhealthy length of time I'm holding it! This is my 3rd go around on this era, and I'm still tensed up, and aaahhhh....
I feel so bad for Laura here..Scotty saying it wasn't rape..she was so confused. She was attracted to Luke before and after so what did that mean..she didn't understand her own emotions and didn't know the answer. Such incredible story with so many emotional layers and played to perfection! Excellence in all ways!
sussezq Yes..and groundbreaking in many ways. For as much as many had an issue with Laura falling in love with someone who raped her..well my take back then and now is that she was already in love with him..and though he hurt her in his turmoil..she was able to forgive and her love grew.. as his for her was..boundless. Timeless story..
she was falling for Luke before the rape......that's why she was confused, and hurt. It WAS rape, but she didnt know how to feel about it. Perfectly written...
Yeah. Laura telling Scott that she wouldn't lie to him wasn't the best choice of words. I also think that those of us who watched these scenes in real time as it happened saw the build up of the connection between Luke and Laura was more intense than is available on video here on YT. Even I have been surprised at how fast the sl has moved in the beginning because there are missing episodes. There is a different feeling about it all if people saw all that transpired between L&L during the time BEFORE the rape. Whether you want Luke and Laura together or not the plot was much more involved than you are seeing in the videos that are available now. Not just on this channel but all of YT.
When he raised his hand to her, and held it there for a few seconds (6:21) this is wrong, however, he reminds me of a pageant queen the way he holds his hand up together perfectly. I've watched this scene 1000x so now I can joke that & not feel bad. Though, a 'man' should never raise his hand to a woman. Understanding the anger is a no-brainer, and the thought of wanting to hit her, well, thoughts do happen. THE SCENE is OUTSTANDING acting by KS and GF, this alone deserved an award for each of them.
I agree the motivation of the character seemed REALLY important to tptb at that point in time.So we could relate to everyone.There was no obvious right or wrong action, or person.Everything was marvelous, glorious,shades of gray It made it much more emotionally and cognitively complex at the time for the viewers. They really challenged us and respected our intelligenceThat notion... that the audience had a brain and wanted to use it..... seemed to have gone out the window at least a decade ago!!
It was an affair, she really psychologically twisted it. Her attraction was as strong as Luke's for her and she was continually going behind Scotty's back.
The other thing I just wanted to say, if i'ts okay is I also feel sooo much for Genie here...[ knowing what we know from her Intimate Portrait] that this was her last scene w someone that she really cared for in real life, and it must have been such a difficult scene for Ms. Francis to film at this time in her life.
@@tragicprincess8414 She had a trick for crying. She would remember an event from her life that was very emotional and she could cry anytime she thought of it. She said it worked for many years but not anymore.
Wow what powerful scenes with Laura and Scotty! This is my first time seeing this. I started watching in 1983. I can understand why Scotty is so angry at Laura. I understand Laura’s side too. She never cheated on Scotty even when she kissed Luke. She was conflicted but wanted to stay married to Scotty. I can’t believe this happened 40 years ago. The writing was so much better back then.
I will never understand why, if some people hate Luke's character so much, if they think there is nothing to him but a rapist, if they think his character is irredeemable, WHY ARE THEY WATCHING THIS S/L?!!! WHY are they watching LUKE and Laura?? (btw, this is not directed at anyone in particular. Just noticed a few posting an awful lot of disparaging remarks about Luke. And they rubbed me the wrong way.....)
I missed so much of the LnL story because of school and such. Scotty really got a raw deal. He really thought Luke was a friend. I was rooting for Luke and Laura, but I never really knew how betrayed Scotty felt. Dude lost his friend, his wife and found out one of his clients was dirty. What an amazing story.
No I don't ever think he had an issue with her telling that he raped her... he just felt like she liked him... she gave him all kinds of reasons to think so... like not telling in the first place. I am sure he was just as confused as she was.
Heh. The show's producers couldn't yet afford the Smith magnitude. General Hospital came really close to being cancelled before the Luke and Laura saga caught fire and saved the show. Even the tiny yacht was probably a strain on the shoestring budget, unless it was a loaner.
I'm like the rest of you, I feel badly for Scotty too. I couldn't believe it when Laura told him she wouldn't lie to him, that she loves him. What? In her letter she talks about all the lies she and Luke have been telling. I'm glad they didn't have Scotty backhand Laura, it shows that his character is a decent guy under all the hurt, anger & immaturity. Also, I can't believe she didn't immediately reply it was rape when Scotty asked her. Luke really did a number on her head on the sailboat.
Yeah soo true, I don't blame Scotty for turning into the bad guy...seeing the scene again makes my stomach turn for him, Laura shouldnt' have put anyhitng in writing...OUCH!! did you see Scott looking like he was going to hit her?
@jeandoodles Yeah I remember the running mascara back then ROFL! And the only way to know if someone is pregnant is to pass out ROFL! I thought that in real life people passed out when pregnant but that wasn't the case. :) You were 13? I was 6 and I remember the Luke and Laura story. :)
Sue McGee I agree with you on that one point, but I think the person was referring to the end of s.boat scene, where he tries to make her doubt if it was rape..
Richard was truly everybody's best friend during these years. "Come on, gang!" 😄 Such a darling . . . and nobody ever even thought to question why he never had a girlfriend, despite being the one man every morning amid ALL them spandex ladies. We just knew why. When they brought him back for the Nurse's Ball in 2013 and TOTALLY TRASHED his character, it was infuriating! Back in the 80s, he'd never had an unkind bone in his body. Still can't forgive the writers for that treachery.
I FREAKING LOVE SCOTTY LAYING INTO LAURA! I applaud his restraint from belting her across her lying mouth because I wouldn't have and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the way he's calling her out on her bullshit. Go Scotty more, more, more.
I hated scotty before finding this. I only know the later scotty. Watching this I understand his character alot more and why he's mostly angry and bitter. He was played by Laura...twice. Laura cheated on him with 2 different guys. Now scotty didnt help his case by being to controlling and ordering her around but she shouldve ended it with him. She tried to resist but luke kept coming with the fire 🔥 and had to have her no matter what. Her being 17 at the time was alittle creepy but times were different back then. Elvis dated 14 year olds as an adult. Im glad that doesnt fly today.
@scottjunkie Oh I don't remember that part. I probably seen it but blocked it out for some reason ROFL! I'm sure if I see it again I'll remember. Well if Scotty is helping her get better, then he better cus he owes her a lot! But it will be very odd if they get back together.
What a scene between Laura and Scottie! The acting by both of them was fantastic! I got sick of all the rake accusations and it appeared that Laura really wanted the intimacy with Luke but didn’t want to cheat on Scottie. However years later when L and L are married with grown children they are accusing their father or raking their mother, so the rake story continued.
The thing is it was rape. Laura even said as much in her letter to Luke. It is like Scotty only comprehended the stuff about the bond. Instead of shoving her down on the floor and calling her a tramp, maybe he should have remembered his words about understanding. She did try to tell him before, but he slept through the whole thing. At this point, Scotty pushed Laura right into Luke's waiting arms and Luke took off with it.
This is so sad. She fought it the entire time was planning ways to be with a very young Laura. He was obsessed, she loved Scott but the kindness and caring of a friendship on her part was violated.
The residents of PC must have been morons to not think it was probably Luke who raped Laura/to not notice ALL THE TIME they spent together. Especially those closest to Laura: Claudia, Bryan, Lesley, Rick, etc., NOT TO MENTION SCOTTY! It was so obvious. Also, Scotty sniffing while wiping his nose was loud and gross!

Kin was fantastic in these scenes. SO real. Genie as always great.
What a powerful episode this was. I hated that Scotty was thinking of striking Laura. I wonder how hard that scene must have been to tape for both of them. Genie and Kin were great in their peformance in this episode.
One of best episodes ever on G.H. Luke vs Scott classic feud

Of course Scotty still cares, hate is too strong of an emotion not to care about someone.
@@2006bbbb1I think he was angry after reading the letter then hate filled him after Luke and Laura became a couple.
Hard not to hate someone you once loved and trusted who deceived you that deeply
Scotty would never be the same again
No never

Who was the music director at this time? Great jazz.
Luke is acting weird on the yacht, happy one minute and then he acts pissed the next. Is that just his insecurities and fear showing.
@71olddog Yes background stories.. but Claudia and Brian was a pretty big thing, and I thing Beverly had the whole thing with Richard Simmons.
I caught my breath. I can only imagine how things would have escalated for everyone if Scotty hadn’t restrained himself….
Luke gets on a bigger Yacht one year from now.
Susan sure had a taste for rich and powerful men.

I was rooting for Luke and Laura, but I never really knew how betrayed Scotty felt. Dude lost his friend, his wife and found out one of his clients was dirty. What an amazing story.
Yep definitely... as Laura said in the cabin in 2008, "he wasn't always the bad guy. We made him out to be, well you did really (to luke)"
No I don't ever think he had an issue with her telling that he raped her... he just felt like she liked him... she gave him all kinds of reasons to think so... like not telling in the first place. I am sure he was just as confused as she was.
Luke, 'dont go overboard unless you can swim'. Too much!
I always thought that “yacht” was so small! How were they going to have a wedding if the Smith magnitude on that little thing?? Lol
Heh. The show's producers couldn't yet afford the Smith magnitude. General Hospital came really close to being cancelled before the Luke and Laura saga caught fire and saved the show. Even the tiny yacht was probably a strain on the shoestring budget, unless it was a loaner.

Frank Smith spoke French and quoted Shakespeare,Sonny's favorite and much used word is...sonofabitch.

Elvis dated 14 year olds as an adult. Im glad that doesnt fly today.
Did Beverly or Claudia ever have their own storylines?
Claudia sort of did, w/ her parents, w/ Bryans Dad. Her wedding was a thing. She made pivotal comments/advice etc to Laura through the years.
@scottjunkie Oh I don't remember that part. I probably seen it but blocked it out for some reason ROFL! I'm sure if I see it again I'll remember. Well if Scotty is helping her get better, then he better cus he owes her a lot! But it will be very odd if they get back together.
What a scene between Laura and Scottie! The acting by both of them was fantastic! I got sick of all the rake accusations and it appeared that Laura really wanted the intimacy with Luke but didn’t want to cheat on Scottie. However years later when L and L are married with grown children they are accusing their father or raking their mother, so the rake story continued.
The thing is it was rape. Laura even said as much in her letter to Luke. It is like Scotty only comprehended the stuff about the bond. Instead of shoving her down on the floor and calling her a tramp, maybe he should have remembered his words about understanding. She did try to tell him before, but he slept through the whole thing. At this point, Scotty pushed Laura right into Luke's waiting arms and Luke took off with it.
Absolutely
It's gonna happen. I been waiting 4 Scottie 2 find out. HOLY CRAPPERS!!!!
What was the back story with Mitch & Susan? Were they a couple at one time?
Sleeping together behind his wife's back
This is so sad. She fought it the entire time was planning ways to be with a very young Laura. He was obsessed, she loved Scott but the kindness and caring of a friendship on her part was violated.
Wrong name again for this post Junkie!!!... and no, you're not a little bit biased! LOL... but we undertand!!
❤. I thought. Scottie was going to kill. Luke really.
Uh oh
@jeandoodles I skimmed the episode just now. OH YEAH! :) I remember now! Scott better be taking care of her in France! He owes her that much!
The residents of PC must have been morons to not think it was probably Luke who raped Laura/to not notice ALL THE TIME they spent together. Especially those closest to Laura: Claudia, Bryan, Lesley, Rick, etc., NOT TO MENTION SCOTTY! It was so obvious. Also, Scotty sniffing while wiping his nose was loud and gross!
People did notice, roy mentioned it to bobbi. Amy discussed it with laura and so did claudia
The man’s world has just been pulled out from under him. Give him a break
❤never saw this first. Time. I know scottie is upset but he just should have turned around and walked. Out the door. Easier not worth it. 3 20 24
