Back then Luke was full of life so much fun, such chemistry between him and Genie. SO sad ruined the character with the darker years and marriage to Tracy
I don't think Luke was changed but his situations changed. Even the Cassadine saga didn't keep him from loving and reuniting with Laura. Her illness was written in among other silly things the writers did so Laura was gone. Luke did what he had to do under different circumstances, from fighting off Stefan, killing Frank Smith, letting Stavros fall into the pit, framing helena for Catherine Bell's apparent murder, shooting Helena on the Yacht, selling off of Stefan's 200 Million overseas charities, it was always a clever and funny Luke with the dark elm street and rape haunting him as well as obsession with his love for Laura. Luke never changed. Geary made sure of that.
No, Luke did change. He seemed angry and drank a lot. Geary wanted Luke and Laura to come to an end so they gave him his way. But quite frankly, Genie was what made him and how they became known. @gerardfonz
@@sharl5737 I totally agree with you. Genie was willing to come back in 2006 and 2008 and 2011, but Tony made that impossible. He wanted to take Luke in a different dark direction and he knew the fans would have insisted that Luke and Laura be together if she was on the show. JFP seemed to think TG was the whole show and gave him what he wanted. A dark, drunk Luke who did not even resemble the Luke we knew here in 1981. The worst rewrites were the addition of an affair with Holly Scorpio which produced a son after Laura was pregnant with Lucky. Not just a slap in Laura's face but also to Robert. I'm sorry but the Luke portrayed here and in 1983 and 1984 would have never cheated on Laura.
When Luke went to the waterfront and talked to Scorpio, I wound up crying, first Scorpio brought up Riley, then he confessed that he was happy not to leave Port Charles. This is the closest thing to a brother Luke has. It was a beautiful moment: "No matter where your future takes you, no matter what kind of trouble that Aussie grin get you in , if you need help and you don't reach out I will hate you". For Luke, that is the most important speech he's ever made to another man. This is his brother from another mother.
And speaking of reaching out, right now in current GH summer 2020, Robert has reached out to Luke to help him find out the truth about Holly. So that promise still holds.
To Tracyvill alone with the money,power,and the Quartermaine name. Not to mention the respect that dose come a long with that name of course....Wow what a bunch of BULL. JMHO Rosie ouroh my bad I almost forgot all that great booze too
This scene with Luke & Robert will always be in my memory as one of my favorite GH scences ever!!!! Wish they could be back together and written well...by Tony!!!
The mob at Kelly's are really annoying me. They won't tell Luke and Laura where the wedding is going to be until they know the exact date of the wedding?! HELLO! THIS ISN'T YOUR WEDDING! And Ruke scene on the docks sweet!
Even back then though Luke did not want to settle down with a job, a house, and a little wife with kids. He should have let Laura be since that is how he really felt deep down. That is the Luke that came out later and broke our Angel's heart.
@@NoneofYourbusiness-ey3js I'm sure you are right. It just sucks how things turned out. I was a huge Scotty and Laura fan and sometimes I wonder how things would have turned out for Laura if she had told Scotty all about the rape when it happened. I'm sure they would have broken up anyway, after all it is a soap opera. Thank you for your response, I love discussing GH.
There's been a Ruke reunion in 2012 it's sad but perfect b/c it's shows even after all these years Robert & Luke still understand each other & always will
Yeah that sense of reality, that they did SOOO well back then, those human connections that makes life real and art worth watching is LONG gone from current GH!
Yes you are so right. GH don't live here no more. Not even in our hearts. GH is finally gone. RIP GH. Thank you for so many funny; fun ; strong family ties and the love. So mush love respect and togetherness. Thank you so very much God bless each and every memories. Love always Rosie
I think loosing O'Riley and then having Luke and Laura and then Tiffany helped with that.. if O'Riley was still around.. the town and people mah not have had the same effect. Think that was the point of her name being brought up. JMHO
Hi Suss, thanks again so much. I had missed a lot of these scenes back then, had a baby and lost track of the show! I'm so happy to have found you channel!
This was when General Hospital made sense!!
Right???!!!!

And that is why I had no more interest in the show. He totally ruined the Luke that I bet most of the fans liked.

Robert needs an attitude adjustment, tho, he’s so
disrespectful 2 Tiff.

Oh damm u got that right love Rosie I love this time. Where the hell did it go?
Love Rosie
Where the heck has this Luke Spencer gone?
To Tracyvill alone with the money,power,and the Quartermaine name. Not to mention the respect that dose come a long with that name of course....Wow what a bunch of BULL. JMHO Rosie ouroh my bad I almost forgot all that great booze too
Before there was Jason & Sonny, there was Luke &Robert. #Bromance
Robert and Luke are magic.
God! People are butting in way too much, this is LnL's wedding for pete sakes.
This scene with Luke & Robert will always be in my memory as one of my favorite GH scences ever!!!! Wish they could be back together and written well...by Tony!!!
Thank u I feel the same way u do.love Rosie. I swear they are just great together
I can’t believe Lee Baldwin
Great scene on the dock with Luke and Robert. Just fantastic acting and chemistry.
The mob at Kelly's are really annoying me. They won't tell Luke and Laura where the wedding is going to be until they know the exact date of the wedding?! HELLO! THIS ISN'T YOUR WEDDING! And Ruke scene on the docks sweet!
Aww Luke's going after his bro
The planning of the wedding was almost more exciting than the wedding itself.
God I love Ruke bromance as much as L&L
Yep. The whole planning of the wedding turned into a whole special storyline. Plus, Luke and Robert... what a bromance.
Even back then though Luke did not want to settle down with a job, a house, and a little wife with kids. He should have let Laura be since that is how he really felt deep down. That is the Luke that came out later and broke our Angel's heart.
That wad sarcasm

About when in 2012 did Robert come back? I would love to see that. Is it on a playlist?
Yeah that sense of reality, that they did SOOO well back then, those human connections that makes life real and art worth watching is LONG gone from current GH!
Yes you are so right. GH don't live here no more. Not even in our hearts. GH is finally gone. RIP GH. Thank you for so many funny; fun ; strong family ties and the love. So mush love respect and togetherness. Thank you so very much God bless each and every memories. Love always Rosie
R&L FOREVER! HUH Luke Really cared for Robert he was his BESTFRIEND 1st
How do you get a wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses in a week?..
I wonder that too! Impossible. But in TVLand anything is possible! Including nonsensical and annoying rewrites.
I think loosing O'Riley and then having Luke and Laura and then Tiffany helped with that.. if O'Riley was still around.. the town and people mah not have had the same effect. Think that was the point of her name being brought up. JMHO
That slap was cute.
Your cabs meter will OD after Nebraska. Luke that is so funny I have to dry my eyes.
Yeah... Love em!!
Luke's lovely pink pants!
Thanks! lol
Hi Suss, thanks again so much. I had missed a lot of these scenes back then, had a baby and lost track of the show! I'm so happy to have found you channel!
I am happy you found it too. Glad you are enjoying. Genie Francis and Tony Geary ROCKED all of this material. So entertaining!
Hi sus!
Best bromance ever.
