I stumbled upon these videos 4 years ago during the 2020 Covid craziness. My addiction to this couple brings me back every few months! Thank you for the sweet memories the LnL fans get to share. ❤
There will never be this kind of talent and pageantry of sorts, for a soap opera ever again as there was in the heyday of General Hospital. Luke and Laura were the king and queen of daytime and EVERYONE ELSE KNEW IT!
I’m well into the viewing of the videos but I had to come back to the beginning. I hope all of you that were able to watch these videos back nine years ago when they were first posted will be able to see this comment. These videos have taken me back in time and made me relive part of my young adult hood that in so many ways I had forgotten. I remember purposely arranging my college schedule around General Hospital and gathering with my sorority sisters to watch the next episode. After the big wedding when adulthood and life took over and life choices took me to another continent I lost touch with what was happening here. Having returned home I’ve reached back into my past life and by mistake came across these videos. I think one thing seeing them again has taught me is to never forget to dream. And to never forget the passion. How many of us ladies have forgotten what it’s like to feel your breath catch when “he” walks in the room? How many of us remember someone looking at us that way? Thank you so much for posting these videos and making us be 18 again if only for a little while.
Regi1962 Beautifully said and oh so true. This is why I continue to watch these playlists over and over. As I watch these I am in another time and place. 💕💕
Thank you I to thought what you have written was also very beautiful put. I remember those old but very sweet or bittersweet memories of yesterday. I wish they could all come back again if only for a little while. Thank you again Susezq love Rosie.
Most of the comments are many many years old but unbelievably I found these videos and just started watching and now....I’m to 1981. !!!!! I had to post. What a JOY it has been to revisit these episodes. To be 40 years older and 40 years of experience wiser and realize not just what a phenomenon this was....... it was incredible showmanship on every level......and I mean that respectfully. Wow!!!! It’s so funny...my husband of 30 years keeps hearing the music or the dramatic inserts and he’s flabbergasted his wife is watching a soap opera!!!! He’s never seen it before because I quit watching in1981 after the wedding when my life got too real and turned upside down. So this is first time I’ve watched since and I APPRECIATE from the bottom of my heart the time and attention it took to put this together"............ even if it looks like it was 12 years ago. It’s been wonderful watching these 2 brilliant actors you all call LnL “Do their thing”. Speechless...........
Hi I don't know if you can be reached but I love your channel. My favorite couple..can I view the Kevin and Laura videos because I noticed they are deleted privately? Have a blessed day😊
WOW! I found this site 11yrs ago. and still can't stop coming back! Suss I can't imagine how long it took you to get all this posted! Thank you so much!
And I thought I was the biggest Luke & Laura fan ever...WOW, this is like heaven. Thank you so much sussezq for all your work. I have some videos, but never thought I would be able to relive all of this again. I don't know how I will be able to stop watching!!!!! I just miss Luke and Laura so much and I want them back...a Spencer reunion. Thank you again.
Tony and genie were such good actors they made it look easy ...every word, smile even their breath looked easy and spot on ...never noticed their acting ..it was always smooth like butter ..love Luke and Laura forever .❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you I started watching this 10 years ago and plan to watch it all starting today. I was born 11/79 so it’s really nice to be able to watch something I never was able to watch. I love Luke and Laura they are the best soap couple.
Every time I watch this scene it reminds me of me and my friends rushing home from school to catch the last 30 minutes of GH. Now I can watch what I missed!
Yeah seems they lost the formula for character driven daytime drama....at least on current day GH. To try to drive the show by plot points just doesn't work!!
I am so excited to enjoy Luke and Laura one more time. I am going to tell my age, but the first time I saw Tony Geary act was on Bright Promise. I knew he had something special. Luke Spencer gave him the platform to show it! Thanks!
Yes but to this day Luke n Laura are still the number 1 couple in soap opera history. In fact their wedding is still the highest rated daytime episode of all time.
Sussezq, we decided to go back... way way back to the Luke and Laura days... the beginning as my friend and I were such fans and relive those moments... it's Covid-19 and what a great way to connect! Thank you for posting these videos!!
He was actually at that place that Scotty and Laura had dinner, when Luke tampered with Scotty's car. He was sitting in the lobby when Scotty and Laura came back in when the his car wouldn't start. But I don't think Luke was looking directly at her then.
It never gets old... there is SOOOO much that by the time you get to the end of 83 (the 84 edited just for L&L stuff is worth watching too... and the 93 return is still them for a while... ) you can start all over and not be bored at all because there is just so much too it.
Me. Too .loving it. It's taking my mom .off the death of my 23 year old nephew rip . Mario. 5 21 24 god rest his soul .God bless Luke and. Laura such beautiful..stories. During an era when Times were simple. ❤️🙏🙏
Wow........you had a VCR in 1979! The effort you put in to transfer all of this and upload it is commendable. Thank you for all the hard work. I just came across this today and these things have come to mind...... "little black book", "ice princess" and Herb Albert - Rise! What a trip ! This is going to be fun.
I posted on another video but had to come here as well to say again, thank you uploading all of these! It's wonderful to watch what I missed back in the early years when I was a teen and fall in love again now all these years later with L&L. ! Watching TG &GF interact is pure magic onscreen.
I watch the entire series of L&L once a year. There is something so pure about it, even if it is just TV. It is calming, reminiscent, and personal to the point that reality ceases to exist and the "good ol' days" reigns. I love it!
@@user-ve5ln5le9y I was always bothered by their wide age difference. GF was beautiful but didn't look a day over her real age of 17. TG was 31 or 32, and looked like it, too. They were 15 years apart.
@@katharinedalton839so what about the age difference my second husband and the love of my life was 14 years older and we had the perfect life together for 21 years until he died 4 years ago I'm Genie Francis age and was 1 year younger than Tony Geary
Love seeing the old G.H. wow how Scotty had aged. But so did i. I watch these way back then and now rewatching them. Now. Love them still. Thanks. ....!!! Miss seeing luke and Laura
OMG! This brings back so many wonderful memories. Thank you Sussezq! I cannot wait to get started reliving this story again after all these years. What a wonderful way to start the new year... I fell in love with Laura as a young man of 14 and to this day she is still so special to me. A tragic princess indeed...so flawed and yet with a superhuman capacity for love and forgiveness...and that smile...that Genie Francis smile, how could any man resist? Truly one of a kind.
Thank you so much for sharing these! Even hearing the little screech of the video tape cracks me up and brings back so many VHS memories :) It was so wonderful to re-live Luke and Laura's love story. They were my first "Super Couple" :)
The rewrite of why Luke became two personalities was an insult. He never wanted the life of a mobster! He DID NOT envy it. He always wanted different for himself, Bobbie and Ruby. And Laura represented the life he wanted, she didn't force him into being someone he wasn't. The writers did him a great injustice.
Is too agree I was there when they first brought Luke on the show and then to say that they had an older sister Pat whom I never heard Aunt Ruby even mentioning was so strange.
In a way, Luke and Laura should never have returned to Port Charles. We were all happy to see them again, but you literally and figuratively can't go home again. Times had changed, Port Charles had changed, TPTB could never recapture what LnL had in the 80's. Something of its time is of its time, and only of its time. It could have been done with respecting the integrity of the characters, but TPTB decided not too. And so we got what we got. In my mind, the story ends in 1983. After that its an alternative universe.
@@jessicasherwood4943 I also recall that!! And I was YOUNG......sometimes the writers add things in and kind of sweep them away. And then, maybe years down, they have an opportunity for an opening for a "new" character that was technically old, if that makes sense.
thank you so much for posting these wonderful clips of luke and laura! i am 19 and missed this whole era of back when gh was really great, compared to today's mess! lol i am so greatful now that i can watch the whole stories and not just random clips of them! i am really enjoying this storyline it's soo addicting! lol
"At least until I'm 18" OMG!!! And now she's 50. How time flies. I have been a fan since before this original episode and I'm still hooked, So glad she's back.
The one thing I always admired about Genie was the way she carries herself and how she portrays her characters so well beyond her years. I think a lot of veteran actresses back then felt threatened by that and they didn't give her a chance to win a lot of awards because of the jealousy (it wouldn't be until 2007 when she finally won one).
See here that is what I don’t understand?Yes Miss Francis is a very excellent young actress here. The veteran actress’s have to learn there craft just like all the rest of the many other actresss’s on GH back then. Miss Francis had a gift her talent was very well crafted . I guess she put in many hours of extra time to ply her crafts. What I still don’t understand sorry is that all of the actress’s were in the same business trying to do the best they could. Why not try together better? What makes others stick each other in the back? Don’t they want to make GH better altogether and maybe learn together? Respect each other to learn and be better sisterhoods to stand to make the business better for all women. All women in this business they call show business equal rights for each other in a business that were men mostly ruled.... all the time back then! Thank you RosieJMO. And some food for thought....Love. Rosie
The absolute LnL beginning is when he actually gets to see her up close and personal in the student union Laura was with Scott and Brian as they're about to go meet Howard Lansing. She's wearing her ring Scott gave her and she's worried about the guy who's going to lie about her meeting in the bar. Luke sort of gets introduced but she's so worried about the meeting it doesn't really register with her. She only has eye's for Scott at this point. His comment to Brian is "She really is beautiful isn't she" Brian's reply "that she is"... That's where Luke says it was "Love at first sight for him" from then on he does everything he can to ensure he is "running into" her, school, visiting her when she has her accident, watching her and taking pictures of her at cheerleading. I think today they would consider it stalking.
Yes sorry I have to agree with Ms. Shawn. She is absolutely right thank you. I just love this daytime soap.To me it’s #1 IMHO. Ha ha I thing am getting the hang of this it’s fun thank you... Love. Rosie.
Music Lover Forever Gosh I hope not, I haven't noticed but I stay in the 79-81 era. I sure hope nothing happens to these years on YT. I would be lost and cry.
Thank you for this comment. It is one of the reason I posted. There seemed to be constant misunderstanding between newer viewers and the old guard... I was hoping this would make the younger/newer viewers understand what we compare current day GH with... we can't help it!
Thank you do much for all these uploads. I'm just starting and boy the memories are flooding back. I used to rush home from school to watch these eps back in the day! I'm so excited to re-watch!
You can just see Luke's soul leaving his body to go follow Laura when he and Scotty turn and walk away. He breathes it out as they turn, and there it goes, forever following her. LnL Forever ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
Wow wow wow,..I completely forgot that at one point Luke had straight hair and Bobbi was a strawberry blonde. Thank you sooooo much for uploading these :)
Thank you for these wonderful videos! I'm not new to GH, I've watched on and off since 2004, but watching the 50th anniversary marathon really showed me a taste of all the great stuff I missed out on. After I watched Luke & Laura's wedding episode, I knew I had to research them more. I'm so happy to have found your channel and can't wait to experience their story!
Thank you so much for putting this up the very first ep of gh I watched was when Luke and Laura came back in the 90's I was in my early teens then and I got hooked on their storyline after watching it for a bit I asked my mom about them she told me that they were really big in the early 80's but she never really watched the show so she didn't know much about them and I was just a baby then but she did know about Luke raping Laura and of course the wedding so she told me about them and I saw some little clips on here about them but not the whole storyline but now because of you I can finally know how it all began I have the next 3 days off so you can guess what I will be doing a Luke and Laura marathon happy happy dance
Yes they did Luke a great injustice to everything he stood for in the beginning. U guys Mess up big time. In the end u made everything a big lie. Plus u made good people look like a bunch of mindless fools. 5hanks for notting by by.
Yeah.. it was crazy how young she was... I think TG once said he felt like a dirty old man.... because GF was a kid really....but so amazingly talented that you never felt that way about her when watching. She held her own with him.
I agree with Tony. I love both TG and GF and they acted great with each other. But I'm GF'S age and I thought she looked too young for him (just my opinion, please don't fry me!). She was very poised for such a young girl, and really rose to the challenge of pairing up with TG.
A million thanks for posting these. I am a huge Luke and Laura fan forever! I am so looking forward to rewatching all these - all these years later - especially the ice princess storyline THANK YOU THANK YOU THANk YOU SUSSEZQ!
So sorry to hear that Holden. This stuff actually got me through a very difficult time in my life.. and that's one of the reason I decided to post.. hoping it might distract others from their own difficulties.. if only for a bit. Respite from the tough stuff is so important. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Neeto! Cant believe someone put up these vids. Looks like im going to be busy for a while. I got caught up in the whole L&L craze back in late 70s. I was 20 at the time.
Where did the producers of this show find the sexy,talented specimen,that is Tony Geary ? He's is such a brilliant actor,like a younger Marlon Brando,but more passionate... and again his love scenes with the talented Genie Francis ,even the controversial one with the Rise number,were great works of art ... just beautiful expressions of 2 artist that care about their craft
Yes and once care about each other as good carding friends.... Now I’am sorry to say not anymore. Which to me has a sadness in my heart to this very day.JMVHO. Rosie out.
Talented, yes, but he was NEVER sexy. You'd be hard-pressed to find a less-likely leading man -- a sentiment shared by Tony Geary himself, who has always had a far more candid take on Luke than any of his fans.
Sus, Just wanted to say thanks for posting these. I've watched them from start to finish and they brought back so many intense memories. I was only 14 YO when the L&L saga started andI was hooked from the start. Such chemistry!!! I'll never forget how exciting it was to follow as I crossed the bridge into adulthood.
I used to rush home from school too. I was so young... watching this whole thing with adult eyes, you realize it is even MORE incredible than you remember! Enjoy. Jot a comment once in a while as you go along. Love to hear everyone's thoughts on the story. Thanks for the note!
@sussezq Yes same here. Watching it with a older and wiser heart, it is better than the first time watching way back then. I see so much more and appreciate it so much more now. You look ahead and believe in your heart that one day there will be love like that for you...and then one day look back and see how very few ever get it. You love their love even more.
Lukejunkie, I feel exactly the same way! Addicted to the the same era and then get sadder and sadder. So happy Sus posted all of these, she deserves a medal for all her hard work. Am watching the current GH 50th Anniversary shows with mixed emotions - hopefully it's not the end.
It's been 42yrs n we still come back. the acting was so great we all saw it as real. Tony Geary is crazy good, but remember he could not have been so good unless the other actors also brought their A game also. Remember how much we also love the way Alan n Monica played off each other. I will always remember that night they had to take care of a very drunk Susan n sick baby. That was funny. It Scott n Luke having to deliver a baby. Such great writing back then.
I also have to say in the beginning of a true love story of LnL it was sooo sweet. It became for me one of the very best I have seen. The love that was there in there eyes was truly a wonderland of pure magic. To me it was EPIC at its best I can’t remember when I loved to join in the romance and the adventures of the love for each other that they both had. The friendship, respect and deep caring for themselves, family and friends and PC. I don’t know if I would have watched other wise? To me GH was #1 back then to bad I can’t say the same now! I miss GH very much so...now the once in a lifetime love story is gone! JMVHO. Rosie. Once in love!.....
Thank you so much for posting this! Im trying to watch everything i can on LL as they've been my favorite couple since they came back with lucky. Im only 32 so i dont remember too much from the early 80s. This is Awesome!!!!
Sus, this week has left me so frustrated with present day GH that I needed some happy medicine, so I'm back at the beginning for the umpteenth dozen time. I just finished watching from the beginning through the time they got on the boat, but I have to start over again! So grateful once again! And how much do I miss writers who could write and EPs who gave a freaking damn!
Projecting again..... everyone around here is projecting their love on me.... when we all know that it is Genie Francis and Anthony Geary's as Luke and Laura that you REALLY love!!!!
Perfect love story. Bobbi used to play all types of tricks on Laura to get Scotty. The irony of Laura falling in love with the brother of her most hated nemesis.
Ok, well. i was born in East Germany, Berlin. We could watch some channels from West Berlin . And so i was able to watch this show. I was so in love with both . And enjoyed every single day on the TV. Now i can see it from the beginning till the end and I am still love it. Sometimes Oldies are reall Goldies.
I was one of the fans who watched GH, religiously, because of Luke & Laura. I bought my first VCR only because I didn’t want to miss any episodes. 📌 (SIDE NOTE) At the time, VCRs were still a new thing. I paid $400+ for mine. I stopped watching after L & L left in 1984. Started watching again when they returned. I watched on & off throughout the years. However, when the writers decided to have L & L divorce - I was done. I haven’t watched it since
Chesapeake Bay thank you for sharing your VCR story. It’s nice to know that I wasn’t the only one. I watched GH from time to time, after Laura came out of her “comatose” thing. But I couldn’t handle it when the writers decided that L & L needed to get divorced. No way!! There is no way that they would divorce. I stopped watching it all together after that. I’m sure someone out there (in cyberspace) is saying “It’s just a show”. No. Luke & Laura were more than just a show. They were an event. 😊
Here I am Sus back at the beginning again! What is this, like the 10th time? I get to the feel good , exciting sticky door era - enjoy the heck out of those, and then become morose from watching present day - worrying about losing not only Genie/Tony, but Luke and Laura for good - ugh! What a wealth of pure enjoyment you have preserved here. T! I'm excited to watch the slow burn begin all
That would be Ms Francis, Mr. Geary, the late great Gloria Monty, incredible writers, a dedicated production staff, camera men, editors...janitors who cleaned the sound stage.... Who provided you with this amazing entertainment....can't take credit where credit is not due.... But glad you are able to enjoy some of the best stuff ever produced on television...daytime, nighttime....
I think the curly hair softens his look and features. With that straight hair he looks more distant. I felt that way when he cut his hair off in 1997, I think it made him look less likeable, once again distant. JMHO

Thank you for all of your hard work! These are such a gift to this old lady lol brings me back to high school age
Omg I so forgot Richard Simmons was on GH. Thank you for the blast from the past. I lived for Luke and Laura.
And I thought I was the biggest Luke & Laura fan ever...WOW, this is like heaven. Thank you so much sussezq for all your work.

Tony and genie were such good actors they made it look easy ...every word, smile even their breath looked easy and spot on ...never noticed their acting ..it was always smooth like butter ..love Luke and Laura forever .❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You deserve much praise for making this playlist of Luke and Laura episodes. Thank you very much.
Thank you I started watching this 10 years ago and plan to watch it all starting today. I was born 11/79 so it’s really nice to be able to watch something I never was able to watch. I love Luke and Laura they are the best soap couple.
Every time I watch this scene it reminds me of me and my friends rushing home from school to catch the last 30 minutes of GH. Now I can watch what I missed!
Dis you also name your kid after his character? That's probably why he turned to drugs, prostitution, and ultimately suicide.
Thanks for posting this! They don't write or create characters like this anymore. I can't get enough of Genie or Tony- Love watching them together.
Yeah seems they lost the formula for character driven daytime drama....at least on current day GH. To try to drive the show by plot points just doesn't work!!
They're the best, aren't they!
I am so excited to enjoy Luke and Laura one more time. I am going to tell my age, but the first time I saw Tony Geary act was on Bright Promise. I knew he had something special. Luke Spencer gave him the platform to show it! Thanks!
Wow bright promise?! I was like 8 when that aired. I don't even remember that soap. Only know it because of Tony's Biography.
Luke and Laura were one of the top five soap love stories of that era. Oh what fun to re-live those glory days!!
Yes but to this day Luke n Laura are still the number 1 couple in soap opera history. In fact their wedding is still the highest rated daytime episode of all time.
Bo & Hope...who else?
Steve and Kayla and Jack/Jen from Days? I dunno.
L&L we’re top of the top 5. #1 Aside from Bo & Hope idk what is rest.
Luke and Laura were number 1!
2024 still watching!
All I can think is, remember what we were like at 17 (soon to turn 18)? Being Laura's age.....gosh.....
I am too❤
@@cindyharper6292 Lol this is only my 1001st time watching it LOL 😂 🤣😂😂🤣 …….. and I have a “buddy” now who’s also watching!!

I discovered these last year and still love to watch. Luke and laura forever.
And I was there back in the day. ❤️ them.
I watched it all when it originally aired, and I've rewatched it many, many times because of this upload!
I’m soooo thankful to her for uploading these very early shows for all of us!
I’m on my third time Lol ❤️
Wow!! Luke & Bobby look so young! Thanks for the memories!!! :)
Raquel Mitchell Enjoy. IT's really good stuff! :-)
It never gets old... there is SOOOO much that by the time you get to the end of 83 (the 84 edited just for L&L stuff is worth watching too... and the 93 return is still them for a while... ) you can start all over and not be bored at all because there is just so much too it.
I confess, I'm addicted to L&L.
I’ve been since I was 13 years old! Genie. Tony, Kin, Jackie, Ruby, and the ones who played Claudia and Brian were ALL awesome!
Me. Too .loving it. It's taking my mom .off the death of my 23 year old nephew rip . Mario. 5 21 24 god rest his soul .God bless Luke and. Laura such beautiful..stories. During an era when Times were simple. ❤️🙏🙏
In all the times I have watched this, I never once noticed that Rise was playing when Luke & Roy were talking in Luke's office.
Wow........you had a VCR in 1979! The effort you put in to transfer all of this and upload it is commendable. Thank you for all the hard work.

Fourth time around watching these video clips and have determined Luke/TG and GF/Laura had undeniable chemistry back when they first met.
Their age difference makes it even hotter IMHO

What the hell was that shit? The writers must be complete idiots.
I love it when the girl after workout class says.Groovy! LOL
Renty Kringly
I know, I love the 70's slang, they were "Cool". ✌️💟☮️
OMG! This brings back so many wonderful memories. Thank you Sussezq! I cannot wait to get started reliving this story again after all these years. What a wonderful way to start the new year...
I fell in love with Laura as a young man of 14 and to this day she is still so special to me. A tragic princess indeed...so flawed and yet with a superhuman capacity for love and forgiveness...and that smile...that Genie Francis smile, how could any man resist? Truly one of a kind.
I was as smitten as you and I was 23 at the time. Don't really know why, except her presence was just captivating. Still is.
Let the love story and adventures begin!
A lifetime ago how times have changed
My gosh you have no idea how many memories are attached to this!! My sister & I would run home from school to watch Gen Hosp every day!! Ty!!🙏💜
Great story! Thanks for sharing. Yes Luke and Laura had a pretty big affect on many of our lives.. in all different, interesting kinds of ways!
Nobody caught Luke giving Brian the "brotha" handshake at first meeting. Lol
That was so cringe
It was the 70’s and most people “shook” hands like that😂
@@wobby1268
Why, that’s how it was done.
@@wobby1268 I thought it was cringe worthy, too. I wonder what the heck Brian thought!
@@wobby1268 It wasn't cringeworthy back then. Still isn't.
Thank you so much for sharing these! Even hearing the little screech of the video tape cracks me up and brings back so many VHS memories :) It was so wonderful to re-live Luke and Laura's love story. They were my first "Super Couple" :)
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for saying hi!
I luv this. How soaps use to be. I luv it. It's so dark now
I agree. This was gold! I don't really watch now because it doesn't hold my interest.
GH at its finest Glory Monty masterpice it stinks today. 2019
The rewrite of why Luke became two personalities was an insult. He never wanted the life of a mobster! He DID NOT envy it. He always wanted different for himself, Bobbie and Ruby. And Laura represented the life he wanted, she didn't force him into being someone he wasn't. The writers did him a great injustice.
Amen!
Took the word right out of my mouth...Amen! Atrocious ending to a great love story and character in Luke. :( I SO want a do-over!!
Is too agree I was there when they first brought Luke on the show and then to say that they had an older sister Pat whom I never heard Aunt Ruby even mentioning was so strange.
In a way, Luke and Laura should never have returned to Port Charles. We were all happy to see them again, but you literally and figuratively can't go home again. Times had changed, Port Charles had changed, TPTB could never recapture what LnL had in the 80's. Something of its time is of its time, and only of its time. It could have been done with respecting the integrity of the characters, but TPTB decided not too. And so we got what we got. In my mind, the story ends in 1983. After that its an alternative universe.
@@jessicasherwood4943 I also recall that!! And I was YOUNG......sometimes the writers add things in and kind of sweep them away. And then, maybe years down, they have an opportunity for an opening for a "new" character that was technically old, if that makes sense.
thank you so much for posting these wonderful clips of luke and laura! i am 19 and missed this whole era of back when gh was really great, compared to today's mess! lol i am so greatful now that i can watch the whole stories and not just random clips of them! i am really enjoying this storyline it's soo addicting! lol
"At least until I'm 18" OMG!!! And now she's 50. How time flies. I have been a fan since before this original episode and I'm still hooked, So glad she's back.
Tony is gorgeous any age, hairstyle, decade. Love that man! Laura too.
I totally agree❤
From the first scene in this clip I loved Luke Spencer…warts and all😀
Love these episodes ty for uploads.
The one thing I always admired about Genie was the way she carries herself and how she portrays her characters so well beyond her years. I think a lot of veteran actresses back then felt threatened by that and they didn't give her a chance to win a lot of awards because of the jealousy (it wouldn't be until 2007 when she finally won one).
The other actresses did not decide who won awards.
I believe they actually do.... there is some aggregation of industry personnel - including actors/peers - that vote to determine the winner
Thanks for showing the old episodes of Gh i enjoy it .
Genie was never nominated when she was young because there was no younger actor or actress category. Genie's work led to that being created.
See here that is what I don’t understand?Yes Miss Francis is a very excellent young actress here. The veteran actress’s have to learn there craft just like all the rest of the many other actresss’s on GH back then. Miss Francis had a gift her talent was very well crafted . I guess she put in many hours of extra time to ply her crafts. What I still don’t understand sorry is that all of the actress’s were in the same business trying to do the best they could. Why not try together better? What makes others stick each other in the back? Don’t they want to make GH better altogether and maybe learn together? Respect each other to learn and be better sisterhoods to stand to make the business better for all women. All women in this business they call show business equal rights for each other in a business that were men mostly ruled.... all the time back then! Thank you RosieJMO. And some food for thought....Love. Rosie
The absolute LnL beginning is when he actually gets to see her up close and personal in the student union Laura was with Scott and Brian as they're about to go meet Howard Lansing. She's wearing her ring Scott gave her and she's worried about the guy who's going to lie about her meeting in the bar. Luke sort of gets introduced but she's so worried about the meeting it doesn't really register with her. She only has eye's for Scott at this point. His comment to Brian is "She really is beautiful isn't she" Brian's reply "that she is"... That's where Luke says it was "Love at first sight for him" from then on he does everything he can to ensure he is "running into" her, school, visiting her when she has her accident, watching her and taking pictures of her at cheerleading. I think today they would consider it stalking.
Yes sorry I have to agree with Ms. Shawn. She is absolutely right thank you. I just love this daytime soap.To me it’s #1 IMHO. Ha ha I thing am getting the hang of this it’s fun thank you... Love. Rosie.
YES, THAT IS WHEN HE FELL FOR HER.
I also noticed Brian said ...that she is, with a tone of voice that said ....do I need to kick your ass!!!
"Rise" by Herb Alpert. Oh my.......
Part of the workout session. So innocuous sounding now, but soon.....
Music Lover Forever
Gosh I hope not, I haven't noticed but I stay in the 79-81 era. I sure hope nothing happens to these years on YT. I would be lost and cry.
Thank you for this comment. It is one of the reason I posted. There seemed to be constant misunderstanding between newer viewers and the old guard... I was hoping this would make the younger/newer viewers understand what we compare current day GH with... we can't help it!
THIS IS AWESOME!
Thank you do much for all these uploads. I'm just starting and boy the memories are flooding back. I used to rush home from school to watch these eps back in the day! I'm so excited to re-watch!
You can just see Luke's soul leaving his body to go follow Laura when he and Scotty turn and walk away. He breathes it out as they turn, and there it goes, forever following her. LnL Forever ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
Well said❤
I loved the Luke and Laura love story so much
Hee hee! They were just starting out! Great years ahead❣️
BRING IT ON WITH LNL, WE CAN TAKE IT AND WE LOVE.
Me too... but I wish they would bring back all of these characters!!
I've watched these before, but I never tire of seeing the beginning of the greatest love story in Daytime. LnL forever!! Thanks Suss
Anyone notice " rise " playing in the background. A little foreshadowing!!
Wow wow wow,..I completely forgot that at one point Luke had straight hair and Bobbi was a strawberry blonde. Thank you sooooo much for uploading these :)
Thank you for these wonderful videos! I'm not new to GH, I've watched on and off since 2004, but watching the 50th anniversary marathon really showed me a taste of all the great stuff I missed out on. After I watched Luke & Laura's wedding episode, I knew I had to research them more. I'm so happy to have found your channel and can't wait to experience their story!
Oh wow listen to what they are playing in the background "Rise" by Herb Albert!
This is awesome to be able to watch from the beginning, since I was born in 85 lol thanks so much for uploading all these
Nobody should be denied this great entertainment based on birth year! ;-) Enjoy!
MAN! I miss 80’s soap opera
Love this ❤❤
I love luck and laura i grew up with them i wish general hosptial was still this great
Enjoy Ms. Fascination. Thank you very much for your comment. Knowing people are really interested makes it easier to put in the work to share.
I can't get over the fact that Luke was a guest at Scotty and Laura's wedding!
❤ don't remember
Luke was one of the very best actors ever ! 🏆
Tony Geary was the greatest actor not Luke Spencer.
Thank you so much for putting this up the very first ep of gh I watched was when Luke and Laura came back in the 90's I was in my early teens then and I got hooked on their storyline after watching it for a bit I asked my mom about them she told me that they were really big in the early 80's but she never really watched the show so she didn't know much about them and I was just a baby then but she did know about Luke raping Laura and of course the wedding so she told me about them and I saw some little clips on here about them but not the whole storyline but now because of you I can finally know how it all began I have the next 3 days off so you can guess what I will be doing a Luke and Laura marathon happy happy dance
Riida Fangirl So glad you found the beginning of their story!!!
Yes they did Luke a great injustice to everything he stood for in the beginning. U guys Mess up big time. In the end u made everything a big lie. Plus u made good people look like a bunch of mindless fools. 5hanks for notting by by.
As many times as I've watched this, I just caught "Rise" playing in the background as Luke and Roy talked.
This is some really good entertainment. Enjoy.
Yeah.. it was crazy how young she was... I think TG once said he felt like a dirty old man.... because GF was a kid really....but so amazingly talented that you never felt that way about her when watching. She held her own with him.
Yes GF always has to this present dayJMVHO. Rosie out!
I agree with Tony. I love both TG and GF and they acted great with each other. But I'm GF'S age and I thought she looked too young for him (just my opinion, please don't fry me!). She was very poised for such a young girl, and really rose to the challenge of pairing up with TG.
It's a great ride... and to be warned; VERY ADDICTIVE. Enjoy!
Best times of GH getting started. Disco days!
A million thanks for posting these. I am a huge Luke and Laura fan forever! I am so looking forward to rewatching all these - all these years later - especially the ice princess storyline THANK YOU THANK YOU THANk YOU SUSSEZQ!
So sorry to hear that Holden. This stuff actually got me through a very difficult time in my life.. and that's one of the reason I decided to post.. hoping it might distract others from their own difficulties.. if only for a bit. Respite from the tough stuff is so important. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Neeto! Cant believe someone put up these vids. Looks like im going to be busy for a while. I got caught up in the whole L&L craze back in late 70s. I was 20 at the time.
Yes someone did! ;-) Hope you enjoy!! (Oh, and we're all older now!!)
sussezq I'm not older. I'm 23 going on 57.
+Kamakiri Sassorichan lmao. love it!
Well, older young
Omg I'm 50 and I'm lmao-ing.
I'm I the only one reading these?
I had forgotten that old expression everyone used! " Neato"! Hilarious!
Sandy Juntenen
My grandfather used to say neato, letting us know he was "cool" and I still say it. The 70's slang is fun to listen to on GH. 💕
I wish that y'all would put these on DVD from the beginning until now it would be nice because I miss watching them
I'm trying! Yes, I didn't realize way back then ( I was so young) how controlling Scott was... and how that was not a good fit for Laura at all!
Where did the producers of this show find the sexy,talented specimen,that is Tony Geary ? He's is such a brilliant actor,like a younger Marlon Brando,but more passionate... and again his love scenes with the talented Genie Francis ,even the controversial one with the Rise number,were great works of art ... just beautiful expressions of 2 artist that care about their craft
Yes and once care about each other as good carding friends.... Now I’am sorry to say not anymore. Which to me has a sadness in my heart to this very day.JMVHO. Rosie out.
Talented, yes, but he was NEVER sexy. You'd be hard-pressed to find a less-likely leading man -- a sentiment shared by Tony Geary himself, who has always had a far more candid take on Luke than any of his fans.
Thanks so much for adding the early years...missing those right now, especially...
Im...becoming. A. Luke and laura addict after all these years first time im..seeing. Roy. 4 11 24
Sus, Just wanted to say thanks for posting these. I've watched them from start to finish and they brought back so many intense memories. I was only 14 YO when the L&L saga started andI was hooked from the start. Such chemistry!!! I'll never forget how exciting it was to follow as I crossed the bridge into adulthood.
Scotty was so cute back then! And Jackie Zeman was gorgeous! Thanks so much for posting all these.
I used to rush home from school too. I was so young... watching this whole thing with adult eyes, you realize it is even MORE incredible than you remember! Enjoy. Jot a comment once in a while as you go along. Love to hear everyone's thoughts on the story. Thanks for the note!
@sussezq
Yes same here. Watching it with a older and wiser heart, it is better than the first time watching way back then. I see so much more and appreciate it so much more now. You look ahead and believe in your heart that one day there will be love like that for you...and then one day look back and see how very few ever get it. You love their love even more.
Lukejunkie, I feel exactly the same way! Addicted to the the same era and then get sadder and sadder. So happy Sus posted all of these, she deserves a medal for all her hard work. Am watching the current GH 50th Anniversary shows with mixed emotions - hopefully it's not the end.
It's been 42yrs n we still come back. the acting was so great we all saw it as real. Tony Geary is crazy good, but remember he could not have been so good unless the other actors also brought their A game also. Remember how much we also love the way Alan n Monica played off each other. I will always remember that night they had to take care of a very drunk Susan n sick baby. That was funny. It Scott n Luke having to deliver a baby. Such great writing back then.
Luke and Laura together magic couple
I also have to say in the beginning of a true love story of LnL it was sooo sweet. It became for me one of the very best I have seen. The love that was there in there eyes was truly a wonderland of pure magic. To me it was EPIC at its best I can’t remember when I loved to join in the romance and the adventures of the love for each other that they both had. The friendship, respect and deep caring for themselves, family and friends and PC. I don’t know if I would have watched other wise? To me GH was #1 back then to bad I can’t say the same now! I miss GH very much so...now the once in a lifetime love story is gone! JMVHO. Rosie. Once in love!.....
I love you for being the age you are, and wanting so desperately to know more about Luke and Laura!!! Glad I can help...proably a couple more tonight.
Thank you so much for posting this! Im trying to watch everything i can on LL as they've been my favorite couple since they came back with lucky. Im only 32 so i dont remember too much from the early 80s. This is Awesome!!!!
Luke has feelings for Laura, but in this clip he still wants to keep her out of harm's way.
True👍
Sus, this week has left me so frustrated with present day GH that I needed some happy medicine, so I'm back at the beginning for the umpteenth dozen time. I just finished watching from the beginning through the time they got on the boat, but I have to start over again! So grateful once again! And how much do I miss writers who could write and EPs who gave a freaking damn!
Projecting again..... everyone around here is projecting their love on me.... when we all know that it is Genie Francis and Anthony Geary's as Luke and Laura that you REALLY love!!!!
Perfect love story. Bobbi used to play all types of tricks on Laura to get Scotty. The irony of Laura falling in love with the brother of her most hated nemesis.
Yeah.. it was FABULOUS. Back when GH told fantastic, character driven stories!
Ok, well. i was born in East Germany, Berlin. We could watch some channels from West Berlin . And so i was able to watch this show. I was so in love with both . And enjoyed every single day on the TV. Now i can see it from the beginning till the end and I am still love it. Sometimes Oldies are reall Goldies.
I was one of the fans who watched GH, religiously, because of Luke & Laura. I bought my first VCR only because I didn’t want to miss any episodes.
📌 (SIDE NOTE) At the time, VCRs were still a new thing. I paid $400+ for mine.
I stopped watching after L & L left in 1984. Started watching again when they returned. I watched on & off throughout the years. However, when the writers decided to have L & L divorce - I was done. I haven’t watched it since
Chesapeake Bay thank you for sharing your VCR story. It’s nice to know that I wasn’t the only one.
I watched GH from time to time, after Laura came out of her “comatose” thing. But I couldn’t handle it when the writers decided that L & L needed to get divorced. No way!! There is no way that they would divorce. I stopped watching it all together after that.
I’m sure someone out there (in cyberspace) is saying “It’s just a show”. No. Luke & Laura were more than just a show. They were an event. 😊
Here I am Sus back at the beginning again! What is this, like the 10th time? I get to the feel good , exciting sticky door era - enjoy the heck out of those, and then become morose from watching present day - worrying about losing not only Genie/Tony, but Luke and Laura for good - ugh! What a wealth of pure enjoyment you have preserved here. T! I'm excited to watch the slow burn begin all
Mr. Simmons really added to the show. You should find him on facebook or twitter or something... or send a letter to the studio ...and thank HIM.
That would be Ms Francis, Mr. Geary, the late great Gloria Monty, incredible writers, a dedicated production staff, camera men, editors...janitors who cleaned the sound stage.... Who provided you with this amazing entertainment....can't take credit where credit is not due.... But glad you are able to enjoy some of the best stuff ever produced on television...daytime, nighttime....
Luke looks cute with the straight hair but he is cuter with the perm and he looks cool.
GH Fever I agree. I loved him with curly hair. I thought he looked kinda dorky with straight hair, lol.
GH Fever When his hair was curly, and longer, he kind of reminded me of David Lee Roth back then!
I know right?
I think the curly hair softens his look and features. With that straight hair he looks more distant. I felt that way when he cut his hair off in 1997, I think it made him look less likeable, once again distant. JMHO
HE LOOKED CREEPIER WITH THE STRAIT HAIR, AND ACTED CREEPIER TOO. THEN HE CHANGED AND STARTED BECOMING THE LUKE WE LOVE AND KNOW.
