That scene w/Bobbie and Laura is great, just great. Wonderful work from Genie Francis. I love the hominess of the Webbers and friends, watching TV, commenting on the absurdity of the Quartermaines. And the big entry with the Quartermaines, filmed outside the party, their attempts to pretend they don't hate Mitch, it's all so good. Joe palling around with Jeremy, in a real way, instead of the horrible stilted way with most soaps and kids. You can see why GH was #1 at this time.
You are all so right - DA looks stunning in this episode (and yes, nice do!)! And what's even more amazing for me: this episode was shot only a few weeks before she turned 40 - and this was the 70's, the time before botox and the like... I stand in awe! And then on the other hand there is Genie Francis, who was not even 18 in these episodes and wow she looks great and her acting talent is so impressive, not only given her young age! Thanks again so much for posting!
Denise looked 40... 40 is not old. It's mature but it's far from old. She looked like a real womanly woman, still in her prime and not afraid of getting older, not trying to compete with teenagers. The way women tinker with their faces by 28 today, they look freakish and actually make themselves look older.
The election scenes were filmed at the Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles. I never dreamed watching this as a kid I'd one day live in L. A. and dine there. It's been used in many movies. The elevators are famous.
Thanks for the info about the hotel. I though it looked familiar !!/:) So I looked it up and Here is just a few of the movies that had a scene there: Interstellar (2014) Heat (1995) True Lies (1994) Arnold Schwarzenegger ride a horse in the elevator !!/:) Battle of the Sexes (2017) ... State of Play (2009) ... Strange Days (1995) ... In the Line of Fire (1993
You are just wunderful...you spoiling us..no idea where you found or bought such gems.....the quality is just amazing and the best...a new ( at least for me) scene with our favourite couple. Thanks for Sharing. Mwuah!!!
I thought Lesley looked lovely here. As a little girl I remember thinking they were an ideal couple, even as a child I loved his line about 1 heart. Now of course as an adult I understand that no ideal couple exists and that his affair and lying about it was anything but ideal but I do believe he truly loved her. Thanks for posting this:)
I absolutely remember the hoopla surrounding the Quartemaine's arrival and their fancy get ups, and the scene with L and L, not something that is out there already, wow.
Does anyone have footage of the first Laura from 1974/75? Her mother, Mrs. Vining, was played by Judy Lewis, the real life daughter of Loretta Young & Clark Gable.
They always killed me....being all up in Laura and Scottie's business and thangs!!! It's fine to care about your child, but they were always having discussions about the two of them. It was almost like they didn't exsist and the relationship was more about the parents than them...
Thank you so much for sharing this terrific footage! I used to race home from high school in order to get the next installment of L&L every day. No VCRs then. I would put a cassette player up to the TV and then listen to the tapes later on. It is wonderful to view it now. TV was glorious then!
They tried to whitewash the rape and turn it into an "insistence of sex or a seduction" - an argument of defense could be made that he was under severe duress and drunk - that he wasn't thinking straight and became temporarily insane - but it was rape. The actor Tony Geary and the character Luke became so popular - that the female audience demanded he stay on - you never saw a rapist "so tender,so sweet so loving, "it played to the human fantasy that evil can change and repent". It was the show's prerogative , to do it that way, this was an adult program not meant for children and I,like many kids, saw it as a child, some of us had foreign parents , that didn't know what their kids were watching, as an adult you can see ,the stories not realistic. But , this is acting,this is art,it's make believe , for the time period ,that the writers were on for this Luke and Laura storyline, especially the Lovers on the Run one, it was a great story and the actors including gifted Anthony Geary and the other fine actors and amazingly a teenage Genie Francis who projected older and did her best work, she was robbed of an Emmy.
When Luke said he would never touch her again unless she asked him to, what a Classic line. In the movie "First Knight" Lancelot {Richard Gere} kissed Lady Guinevere in the woods when he rescued her and she slapped him. He told her he would never kiss her again until she asked him too, and that day finally came when Lady Guinevere Asked Lancelot to kiss her.
I think Denise looked wonderful with straight hair, especially when it wasn't too long. She looked great with curly hair too but for some reason the straight hair, in this color, catches your eye.
Her hair looked bad a little later on, it was terribly unflattering. This hair in this episode REALLY flattered her doll face with those huge irises and delicate face. Her hair in a couple of years or so just would not have looked good on anyone and it really aged her look.
You know it was a long time ago when you see an episode and Anna Lee ( Lila) isnt in her wheel chair. But she is still wearing that signature hair bun lol. She was so beautiful even then and stay so as she aged. God rest her soul.
The way they tied the whole thing up neatly, to make it acceptable that Luke remained in her life - was the caveat that he had to, and they had to keep information "secret" in order to escape possible killing of themselves and family members by Frank Smith.. If there was no top secret mob info, then Laura could have eventually told Scotty everything without fear of bodily harm, without fear for Scotty, Lee, even herself and her parents for all she knew... except for the part about not wanting to see Luke go to jail because she had compassion, thinking he did not mean to hurt her, that he was genuinely "sorry" which is not very likely in real life, not very common I don't think. or unrealistic, as one person put it. She knew people would judge her for doubting herself even though she knew it was rape, because in her youthful naivete.. she thought she gave Luke mixed messages or something like that, otherwise she would have named him.
This topic is very difficult for me, Idk why I can't resist watching this but it makes me cry as a confused victim of rape. I think Laura was in love with Luke at the time he raped her. That doesn't make it any less rape but it does create confusion in Laura and it seems she's formed a trauma bond to him. The way Laura treated Scotty really didnt seem like a wife who was in love with her husband. She would get all starry eyed around Luke... I believe a man can be sorry for committing a rape. I think Luke was sorry... I think he was overcome with regret and love for her. But I'm naive and I see good where there may be none. I shouldn't have put this one because I've been crying the past ten minutes. I never sought therapy for my assaults and I'm terrified at the prospect of it but at times like this, I realize I do have PTSD and it's part of my daily struggle and I need help.
@@aamanpour3630 Thank-you for your feedback, I am so sorry for the trauma you yourself have endured:(( I experienced rape also, as a younger person on more than one occasion from a family member, and put it into an amnesia category, with only bits and pieces I recall, but enough to "know, " I can recommend something called EMDR, it helps much more than just traditional talking, I pray you can get the support you need!
@@aamanpour3630 I had written a reply to you that looks like it didn't go through, or got deleted, so I'll try again - I had experience with rape also, by a family member when I was younger, I put it in an amnesia compartment in my brain with just enough bits of memory to know... I recommend EMDR, as it seems much more productive than just talk therapy, I pray you get the support you need!
Lesley, Laura will come around eventually, she is traumatized still, and I think a part of her knows that Scotty just wants to hold her, but another part of her isn't too sure. I know this is an old episode, but I'm just now watching is why I'm just now commenting
I use these episodes as a test of my memory. Can i remember the actors names? Can i remember the characters names? So far im doing pretty well at that. I used to watch One Life to Live at 2 and ,GH at 3 with my mom back in the day. I miss those days.
That scene w/Bobbie and Laura is great, just great. Wonderful work from Genie Francis.

Too bad Anne and Joe didn't marry. Joe would've made a wonderful dad for Jeremy. Jeff was great too, but he was still married .
@@carolinagirl1967 When Jeff told off Heather Webber in the mental ward in 1981 was to die for !!

Wow, the powder room at the disco is really great!! Cute chairs at each ornate mirror, a 🛋; a quintessential powder room😄

So cool to see Lila and Original Edward
Lila was so beautiful and classy

Oh girl! You knew I was anxious for you to post this for the whole Mitch Williams/Roy Dilucca storyline but having Rick & Lesley in it was a BONUS!!!
Does anyone have footage of the first Laura from 1974/75? Her mother, Mrs. Vining, was played by Judy Lewis, the real life daughter of Loretta Young & Clark Gable.
That's a cool fun fact.😊
Believe it or not I think that was one of Richard Here's better films
They always killed me....being all up in Laura and Scottie's business and thangs!!! It's fine to care about your child, but they were always having discussions about the two of them. It was almost like they didn't exsist and the relationship was more about the parents than them...
I love lesleys hair here. It just frames her face so well and just makes her look so beautiful
Same, she is such a doll. Such a soft woman.
Wonderful stuff!

Instead of a Diet Coke I'll have a Live It Coke!

I’m glad that GH revisited the rape in 1998. It put a much more realistic spin on it after the awful “seduction” rewrite.
This is when the show was shot on location !! Jason Frame and Mary McKennon !!
When Luke said he would never touch her again unless she asked him to, what a Classic line.
In the movie "First Knight" Lancelot {Richard Gere} kissed Lady Guinevere in the woods when he rescued her and she slapped him. He told her he would never kiss her again until she asked him too, and that day finally came when Lady Guinevere Asked Lancelot to kiss her.
Same lines in the Twilight series ( Eclipse) with Jacob and Bella, 2010

K Pryde Yes, Denise always looks good but she is especially beautiful this scene.

she walked with a cane through the late 80s...
No uber back than.

Why is this kind of discussion is missing from soaps now! one like R&L and Gail &Lee is having.
In the beginning with that clapboard, what does VTR stand for?
Video Tape Recording.

Jeremy was so cute
I bet the actors hated saying that.
The rape is uncurtain . and everybody takes that matter cajualy!!
