Luke, your wife just had a nervous breakdown, is in the hospital, and the only thing you can think of doing is interrogating her and making her feel guilty? Way to go. I really couldn't stand him during this era. I understand him feeling betrayed, but he was constantly attacking his wife and blaming her for everything. It was very painful to watch.
Well she sure got over her "breakdown" fast enough. Luke leaves the hospital and Laura makes a beeline over to Spoon Island behind Luke's back. She devastates him with the news about Nikolas and she offers him no comfort at all. She's a cold hearted bitch to him, and always was. She pays so much attention to Nikolas and totally neglects Lucky and LuLu. Shameful. I defend Luke at every turn. How many times she put that man's heart through the wringer over the years.
When Luke first met up with Laura & they got together and ran away both times the disco they never showed Luke smoking. Now Luke is smoking all the time. I did read that both Luke and Laura smoked.
Just when I think I can't be any more impressed with the music on GH. First, the Rolling Stones and now the Smashing Pumpkins.👌Good to know that despite rewrites to introduce new characters and storylines that destroyed other characters and relationships, GH was at least still tops in the music department then.
Ah, see that? The writers did that. They purposely pitted Luke against Laura. Luke asked for Sonny to send guards to protect Lauras room from Nikolas. Next scene. Laura wakes up, calls the desk and told them to let Nikolas in. That is WRITING FOLKS. CRAPPY WRITING. Throwing our heroes under the bus.
Must add the chemistry between Bobbie & stefan was pretty hot. Luke never should have let stefan see how protective he was of Bobbie. Bobbie is def a spencer she was calling out carly from the jump & monica is still like " hey what's wrong carly planned ur party " maybe things have changed but I would have loved a week all paid at a spa! Maybe facials & messages for everyone werent targeted for young people but I loved them on my bday in my 20s. Also it's so abusive to tell nik his mom doesnt love or want him. Imagine the esteem damage.
I've often wondered what direction things would have gone for the storyline if Sonny had killed Stefan. If Luke had taken the offer, and Nikolas would have joined with the Spencers, and in the process they discovered Lesley Webber. Lesley could have led them down a different path against Helena. WAR! LOL!
Never would have happened that way. At the point, Luke was just plain hateful towards Nikolas. He doesn't see Nikolas as a child in need of love and parenting, but a Cassidine - his enemy. And Helena would never have let The Prince enter the clutches of the Spencers.
@@GaelinW I do not disagree. Just thinking out loud. I've stated once or twice on some of these playlists how I wish Lesley and Laura dressed in camo and taking down the Cassadines machine-gun style would've been nice. One can always dream....
@@betsykeller9096 I think Cassadines - Stefan and even Stavros - could have been great longterm, full participants to the town rather than just cartoon-character nemeses for Luke and weird stalkers for Laura. Like how the Quartermaines originally came to town as just the rich a-holes, but became part of it interacting with everyone on some level.
@@GaelinW I loved Stefan. Gh had a treasure in SN. I'm still pissed that they ruined his character and relationship with Nikolas. It's crazy how we're seeing Spencer/Nik head down the same path of destruction.
Ahh, will forever miss scheming Stefan. SN & TG have good sparring energy. Brilliant writing, I love the Stefan smirk when Laura defends Luke saying he never raised a hand to her. Was Stefan thinking of the rape?
This whole storyline is just too stupid to believe. Laura leaving that island without her infant son, I don't believe it for a second. Sorry writers, try again.
@@avataztrue. And I guess back then it didn't really get much better than GH (soap wise anyways lol). Recall watching soap award shows back then and all the screaming/cheers for General Hospital.
Poor nikolas is a pawn. Im.glad they made peace til nik screwed luckys fiancee liz. Im very impressed with jjs acting was great at only 14. In the teen scene only emily was his age nik in rl 24 and liz 20 and sarah 21 In 97 when they were friendly unless it was later than 97. I miss montages great nostalgia with smashing pumpkins disarm. Such a classic beautiful song gosh look how young jax, sonny jason robin lucky nikolas laura look. Luke should have let sonny kill them as he offered lol. I do like he wanted to kill them himself. Poor monica here thinks carly is nice she wrecked her family. Stephen Nichols is such a fantastic actor he played stefan perfectly.
If Luke had let Sonny kill Nikolas, Laura would never have forgiven him. And if Nikolas would never have forgiven Laura for being okay with letting Luke kill Stefan. Just one giant, vicious circle of hate, non-forgiveness and irrationality. It would have been far more interesting if Stefan has been allowed to be a decent Cassadine and stuck around, ultimately becoming a begrudging ally with Luke.
@@GaelinW I know , Luke's hands are tied bc laura has a son that is a cassadine so I'm sure that's what helena planned & it was a bonus for her son to imo rape laura into sex & finally have a son. Again gh having laura rationalizing. She was kidnapped forced to marry a man she did not like & her saying I " gave up fighting & agreed to be his wife " that's bc she was beaten into submission . If a woman says she didnt even want the guys hands on her body than its rape. It's like did Tina turner enjoy getting beat or want to be beat ? No but she was broken down & felt she had no other choices. So laura was raped. She may not have kicked & screamed & said no bc she gave up . I got so creeped out hearing she had to sleep with him in exchange to not be watched everytime she took a bath. Poor laura she was watched all the time even when showering ? Horrible. So I think her nervous breakdown was her ptsd from being kidnapped & forced to have a baby then forced to leave that baby which is sad bc the baby did not do anything wrong . It was her baby.
@@natalieps2387 - There was no Helena's plan. The story kept changing for convenience. In 1983, Stavros was a cousin. Not Helena's son. Nikolas's existence was a complete rewrite of the storyline because both Anthony Geary and Genie Francis were sick and tired of Luke & Laura. Even in 1996, Helena was not really part of the storyline. It was all about Stefan Cassadine being a thorn in Luke's side. At least until the writers decided they wanted their own Patch and Kayla and threw Stefan and Katherine together ruining two good characters. Anyway, it was not until 1998 (1999?) when Constance Towers was brought in was she rewritten as a significant character and the Cassadines became cartoon characters. One element of which was a weird flirtation between Helena and Luke. And yes, Laura was raped there was never any question about that.
@@judithjerde1574 did gh make tony grow the perm hair out when he first came back in 93? When he played his cousin bill he had short hair. This hair is bad & same with the dutch boy. When he finally cut it , it looked good. His skin was a nice tone. As he got older at the end his skin looked so chalky white. I always wondered why he looked so pale at the end at gh. The hair do when Tracey first left for good b4 that coaxed her out of retirement for visits.
@@natalieps2387 I think GH did. In a interview Tony was asked about it & he said he had to bring the look back because the character (Luke) had curly hair. Tony looked rather unhappy about it. Poor, poor him..
Wow this set of scenes are spectacular! The sight of Laura seated below her portrait painting is stunning.
I’m still in awe over genies “breakdown” a few videos before.
'Overly youthful faces always tend to be so vacant and pleased with themselves', fantastic line!
Love The Smashing Pumpkins track during this vid. Thanks for leaving that in. ❤️
Yes disarm
It’s such a cool montage going from Luke and lucky plotting to Stefan and nik entering the feud for the next twenty plus years
Perfect song for this video, Smashing Pumpkins "Disarm"...about messed up broken families and their emotionally wounded children..
ABC should run this every Halloween. Luke and Laura meet Dracula.
Count Vlad as Luke called him

I can't stand him in this storyline. He is so mean to Laura. He basically blames Laura for being kidnapped and it's so annoying
He was always too old for Laura that's why he was always jealous
I know I feel so bad for her. This women was a kidnapped victim. So very young at the time.

One of the biggest blown couples on this show, Stefan and Bobbie. They were awesome for the short time they were together.
then Katherine came along
I'll say he's handsome, both Lucky and Nicholas are very good looking young men
would sonny actually kill nikolas if luke did ask for his help when sonny said 'do you want me to take care of them"?

LAURA WTH are you thinking? Go back to your husband... you can not reason with insanity.
Carly has never been as good since Sarah Brown left the role.
Stefan! You LIAR!!!! Nickolas, get a grip. Leave those stinking Cassadines! Luke have a heart. The kid saved LuLu...

Hahahah at the random music interlude by the smashing pumpkins montage
Ummmm one question.... what the hell is Laura doing sitting in that chair?🤔
Luke had a nice hello for his future wife.
How could Tony Geary have thought his hair looked good?

Wow smashing pumpkins, this show used to have good music on it
The best. Still in awe how they were able to get so many good artists to agree to let them use their music in the 90s. Must've been pricey.

Tracey and Jax? Poor Jax!
Omg Tracey formally meeting luke who knew shed be Luke's endgame on the show
Natalie Panaro Stack even back then Luke and Tracy had chemistry and all it took was an introduction
Luke did say, "good seeing you again." They should have originally met back in the late 70s or early 80s.
& Tracy thinking “umm.. maybe I still have one of those old scarves from the 70s, that Luke could barrow to cover up that sad mess on his head”? 👀
