    With all the chaos bs going on nowadays and all the trash on tv. You know it's bad when I have to go back 40-years to watch Luke and Laura again. Best couple on Daytime soaps!

    Kin Shriner was way under rated as an actor in this role. Geary gets all the glory, but Shriner should have a few day time Emmys himself.

    This is where I came in! I taught school, Luke and Laura were the big rage. Summer vacation started and I began watching GH. When I had to go back to school I bought a VCR. They weren’t cheap in those days. Setting the timer you could record ONE thing on the station your TV was set on.
    I came home that first day, rewound that tape and there it was! I never regretted the money. It saved my sanity!

      I was about 10 when i got hooked on general hospital in 1980. But only could fully enjoy it in summer because i missed 20 minutes of
      It because of elementary school. I wish my family could afford a VCR back

    • @dg-sl5jb

      Yes and it all made so much sense story wise. Both Luke and Laura betrayed him. And remember when he came back sporting that beard and caught the bouquet at the wedding? That was the most epic shocking moment in soap history. And then later his pairing with Heather Webber was unmatched. Kin Shriner and Robin Mattson were the best villain couple ever! I find it sad that GH today doesnt hook them up again and put them in story. They have such a rich history and they're still great actors.

      @dg-sl5jb 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Well back in the 80s soaps across the board had bigger budgets and could do more locations. When Gloria Monty came to GH in 1977 ABC gave her the budget she wanted and she shot some of the best remote location scenes in the history of the genre. This was my next favorite next to the Diana Taylor Murder mystery remote and the grand daddy of them all The Voyage of the Ice Princess in 1981.

      Yes! That was one of the best choreographed fights scenes I had ever seen on a soap. It all looked real and even the sound effects for the punches was right on cue lol. And whats even better is that it appears that both Kin Shriner and Tony Geary did their own stunts. Well I dont know about when Luke fell into river. Perhaps that was a stunt man. But the editing was seamless so I cant tell lol.

    • @dg-sl5jb
      @dg-sl5jb 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      I was 15 when this aired and I watched Genie grow from her first day on GH when she was only 14 herself. I still think her best ever scenes were when Laura killed David, the scene where Jessie Brewer took off her clothes at GH after the rape and Jessie told Laura that though she had been raped no one could touch her soul. And then years later where Laura had to identify Lucky's burned body after he was presumed dead in the fire. To this day I still find it sad that Genie has only won only 1 Emmy award in all her years on daytime.

    Trust me, on L&L fan channels like susseq, it's clear that for many L&L fans Scott is "the bad guy". Laura wasn't having a physical affair with Luke after the rape, but she WAS having an emotional affair with Luke and Scott was right to accuse her of having an affair.
    Before the letter Scott was pretty naive person and lawyer (esp working for Frank Smith). The letter propelled him into "the real world" and he became much more interesting esp when he returned to PC in the late 80's!

    I watched this episode in July 1980 right before a family trip to Bermuda when I was a teenager. While there, I learned that Bermuda was one week behind on GH episodes because they relied on weekly transports of tapes. When I returned to the US, I had to ask my friends what happened next in order to catch up on L&L being on the run.

    The character of Luke was not the same age as Anthony Geary's age. He was supposed to be a bit younger. I most certainly don't like everything about Luke, not a diehard Luke fan; however - unless someone has watched every nuance from the beginning, (I started watching in 1978) it is unfair to say she was "to blame" for marrying Scotty, or that she should have been hit brutally by Scotty. Some of L & L's "love scenes" creep me out also, I understand; the real "magic" seems to be in both of the actor's natural chemistry which proved to be fascinating to many viewers. The writer's, esp. producer Gloria Monty realized the gold mine within this acting pairing, and backpeddled storylines, in order to pursue this potential. They were spellbinding to watch at times. minus certain love scenes.

      I believe that is exactly it. The viewers saw the magic between the actors Genie Francis and Anthony Geary and they wanted them together. The fact that the story line started out with the intention of Luke being killed off and then they had to take the story line in another direction made it necessary to try and "undo" the rape. The viewers that did want them together, of which I am one, wanted them together not BECAUSE of the rape but because BEFORE the rape GF and TG were magical together. Luke and Laura are amazing together and how differently things would have turned out for GH if TPTB hadn't agreed that GF and TG/ Luke and Laura needed to be a couple..

      Boy that's about as much dancing out of responsibility as Gloria Monty did with this story. The facts are that Tony Geary is 14 years older than Genie Francis. In 1979 when those rape scenes aired Genie was only 17 years old. And Gloria Monty was so desperate to put Tony and Genie together that she wanted the story rewritten to sort of absolve Luke of responsibility and to redeem him. The headwriter at the time Emmy Award Winning Douglas Marland wanted no part of this rewrite, so he ended up quitting the show and going on to Guiding Light and As the World Turns ( where he continued to win emmys btw). Gloria Monty then hired Pat Falken Smith. Luke was originally slated to die in the assassination attempt on Mitch Williams. But since Asher Brauner ( Roy) wanted out to star in a crime drama pilot on ABC, Roy took Luke's place and was killed off. Gloria then had Laura cover up the rape lying that it happened in the park and she couldnt remember seeing the man's face. She then began an inappropriate emotional relationship with Luke. The whole thing though extremely entertaining much due to the great chemistry between Tony and Genie really did a disservice to anyone in the audience who had been a victim of "Acquaintance Rape." Even certain members of the GH cast were against it. John Beridino ( Steve Hardy), Susan Brown ( Gail) and Brooke Bundy ( Diana) were all pretty vocal about their disdain for the story. Brooke admitted in an interview to confronting Gloria Monty about it. Gloria and Brooke had been friends for a while. But Brooke said Gloria just responded "Well that's what's happening." Perhaps the most disturbing social consequence of this story was the fact that when Tony Geary had personal appearances young girls could be heard screaming "Rape me Luke!" That's just wrong on so many levels. All that being said unfortunately I accepted the story along with the majority of the audience . But I was only 15 when this story aired. As a middle aged man now I realize that despite the entertainment value it sent a very irresponsible and destructive message about Acquaintance Rape. SMH
