Why doesn't Laura just knock off the BS & tell Luke she is in love with him. Luke would protect her, be more understanding, loving, towards her than Scott would ever be!
For those of us who lived through the landline phone era and thought Scotty could have picked up the phone in the bedroom at any time and listened to their whole conversation...yikes!! 😮
She wants to be with Luke so badly yet feels guilty and knows how much it will hurt Scott. I feel badly for Laura. Scott too. BUT I still want her with Luke.
If I where in my right mind? I say stay with Scotty ...well back then, But is guess I did not think things through.. I knew that it was written in the stars for Luke& his Laura to be together all a long. Because that was the wayGH and GM wanted it to be? Will deep down I guess if I where really truthful to myself I say let it play out. Let Luke marry Jenifer let us GH fans see what would have happened ....wow now that is entertainment!!! JMVHO. Rosie. Just a bit curious?
@@cindyfarnsworth7509 But Scotty and Laura had tons of chemistry before Luke came on the scene. They were the first teen soap super couple. They along with Rick/Leslie/Monica/Alan raised GH's ratings through the roof. I used to love Scotty and Laura together. At first, I really think Gloria Monty wrote the rape as a way to create some drama and conflict for Scotty and Laura, she had no intention at first to break them up. It was just the amazing chemistry between GF and TG that made her change the storyline. Unfortunately for us viewers who loved Scotty and Laura together, they had to make Scotty an as-----hole so we wouldn't love him anymore.
Oooh, I feel for Laura in these clips. She really, really wanted to do the right thing by her husband, who was a sweet guy who loved her. But her love for Luke was too overpowering, and rightly so. Luke treated her like a woman, while Scotty treated her like a fragile doll.
I cant tell you how much these clips bring back memories. I was 13 when these were on and would RUN home from school to watch-EVERYBODY did back then. Keep them coming-it only gets better especially after the Summer on the Run storyline. Thanks for your hardwork! Allus old folks appreciate it...
I was 14 when Summer On The Run aired…I remember being so anxious for 3:00 to roll around so I could hurry home from school and watch General Hospital…I loved Luke & Laura!
She is gettin on my last nerve with this "I'm gonna tell Scotty the truth about everything" It's a B.S. threat to Luke and he is right that she only wants to clear her own conscience and doesn't care about what it will do to Scotty....ugh...great writing though...
Patricia Kennedy Yes, it does get a bit nerve racking to hear Laura say it over and over. But I feel it was such a great set up for what is going to happen soon. She then realizes the importance of the whole situation. 😊💞
Sorry I know u are sooo right. But Laura don’t want to hurt anybody...We all have things on our mind . So deep down we are afraid to tell even God O Might. So we bury it then something comes up and we have to tell someone.... Because God already knows. We think we are doing the right thing and finely talk to just about anyone.. Look bottom line we do what we think best..... and it just bits us on the ASS...Damn.. ok thanks. Rosie
GO AHEAD AND TELL SCOTTY. LUKE: "BE SURE AND MAKE ME OUT THE HEAVY, ........BECAUSE I WAS"....WOW, OH, WOW. THAT LINE PACKS A PUNCH AND IT HURTS BOTH LAURA AND LUKE. 😢😢
The writing was SO good to keep our attention, to drive us a little crazy and keeping us impatient wanting more more more. Early on Scott was hounding and badgering Laura to tell him, now that she is ready to tell him he is to busy and being very passive. Just Fantabulous writing. 💞
Back in 70s when i was watching this as a teenager I never did like scotty. Back before luke and laura and bobbie was trying to get scotty, i was always rooting for bobbie to get him. So when all this happen with luke and laura i knew she should be with luke. Laura never was the kind to play the sweet little housewife cooking and cleaning. She was trying so hard to be what she wasnt. Then she met luke and he was everything she thought she couldnt have.
This goes to show that she had feelings for Luke before "that night". She is doubting that Luke was "the heavy" and has a hard time identifying him publicly because she knows the fact that she cared for him means she may have shown that fact in some way without meaning to which may have given Luke the wrong idea.
She was in love with him way back like when he helped her get the law books...she just didn't know it. He's like her best friend/confident. In some ways she's closer to Luke than Scotty.
Yea, he was the heavy. It makes him very sad to remember, and her sad that it's true. She doesn't want to weigh him down with his own actions. She's come so far in her feelings for him. She's learned that he's really a good man, even more than she believed before. She's forgiven him and has fallen in love with him. How could she possibly expose him to criminal charges and Scott's wrath? She wants "truth between her and Scott" but not at the expense of hurting Luke. She never did. How now? Impossible. Once bitten her marriage was dead.
Sussezq thank you so very much for uploading all these great Luke and Laura clips. I'm so incredibly grateful. I can tell this was a true labor of love :)
Obviously Scotty doesn't want to hear the truth or he'd sit down and talk, sweat and all, and not stop to shower. Especially when Laura WANTS to tell him everything now.
that's what i don't understand. scotty was so insistent before when they were going to group therapy and when that guy was outside their place doing surveillance. why would he not jump at the chance to know the truth now?
@@Fight-4-your-food Maybe he's moved on .... He's passed the bar, is working as a lawyer, is feeling successful because of his connection with Smith. He's got other things on his mind.
Yea mich, I was 12 and so fondly remember running home from the bus stop! ... and yeah you are right we are not old... actually 40's got to be the best decade so far... wish current day GH felt that way about their amazing 40+ year old female characters and actresses!!
OMG !!! that use to drive me crazy, the wait for these two to connect my mom never got into GH and would say " its just a show and that i was crazy" I didnt have a VCR I would have her tape it on my stero and i would listen to it (you can pick up channel 6 on the radio ) Sus cant thank you enough for the hard work and time you put in !!!
You had to see him before this... by this time they were already making him a little more overbearing because they had decided to pair Tony and Genie and were trying to give laura a way to start to have a reason to distance herself from Scott.
@@Fight-4-your-food by this point, the fans were crazy over L&L (myself included) to the point her relationship with Scotty lost all luster. I loved L&S in the beginning and thought Luke was creepy. He was originally just a Catalyst in S&L’s romance. My mindset had changed by this point though,along with he rest of the fan base. It was crazy!
@@suzmik thanks for the explanation. I didn't watch back then so it's great to hear how it was for you and the rest of the fan base as it was happening 😊
I've watched North and South so many times she just reminds me of her character "Brett Main Hazzard." She did a terrible SOUTHERN accent. But I still like her acting.
Texas 2 I understand your frustration, but this is what daytime drama was about back then. Drag things out to keep us in suspense and to keep us tuning back in every day and watch these characters grow. 💞💞
shorty200524 making "me the heavy" means the bad guy or taking more blame. It' important because it made Laura think about how much of a role she played … which sets up the sailboat

Can not stand Scotty with Laura uuugggg...so much better watching Luke and Laura they are beautiful together makes the screen pop....and my mind go wild for the next clip...thank you for the fun Sussezq .....i watched from day one and now over and over......❤❤
omg Kin Shriner and his mouth breathing noises...I keep waiting for him to start with a classic "deese, dems, and does" dialect. It's so annoying. Hope that's not mean. In the meantime I can't get enough of smooth talking Luke :)
For what amounts to months Scotty has been after Laura to talk to him about the rape, now that she wants to he doesn't want to make the time? It just doesn't ring true.
tragic princess Why wouldn't people believe her? It's not like she did anything wrong by trying to offer him support, it's he who was yelling and out of it, and pressured her to dance when she said no - she didn't want to dance. She knew by then that she had better leave but he grabbed her arm and threw her purse to the ground. She was intimidated by then, and didn't know what to do.
No she would not keep having a child with Cassadine back then but it wasn’t though of in storyline then they had to cook it up in future years they changed a hold bunch of things that changed this is when it got so confusing and stupid
She's very needy in worsen. I mean really she does get on my last nerve with the bullshit about the rape and when the rape happen why didn't you tell Scott the prince Baldwin lol lola lola about the rape because you can't because of feeling and emotions for Spencer
This was a different day and time. They were changing the storyline from rape to seduction and trying to get the audience to accept it. They did this because LNL popularity went through the roof.
@@tragicprincess8414 Popularity was through the roof, they didn't need to try to get the audience to accept it. Women LOVE bodice-ripper romances. They were huge then and they're huge now. Please look up the term if you are not familiar with it. I believe Monty wrote the whole thing this way on purpose. She knew female psychology. Was it a gamble? Yes. It got criticism from those that didn't know what it was. But women LOVED it. Taming a dangerous man is what women have dreamed of doing for hundreds of thousands of years.
NOt gonna happen! Too far! Too late! and and had that complication....geez, if you were watching this in real time you would have had to wait months, and months.. trying to give you a dose of what us old folks dealt with!! LOL
I love LnL1 but Luke is pretty insensitive here. Does he think she would just get "over" being raped? Ugh, that time period. They were so clueless. I did laugh when Bobbi told Luke about the explosion and that Alan Q got hurt. That was when he tried to blow up Rick and Monica. Oh the good old days of the Rick/Monica/Alan triangle. Talk about dysfunctional! I loved them!
Very common 4 a woman 2b afraid of the ordeal involved in reporting rape. Especially in the eighties. Guilt, fear, confusion inherent in rape or even so called seduction.
Yes, Luke does drink when he is stressed and his life is in the toilet. IMHO he also substitutes his obsession for Laura with an obsession for alcohol when she is not around or accessible to him... Tony Geary is back as Luke Spencer on September 30th, with Helena.
Shorty200524 It s because Laura wants to tell Scotty the whole truth about Luke raping her in the disco, and she's trying to find the right words because she's lied to Scotty so much about that night. Even about where the rape happened, and she accused a false rapist. She's nervous about telling him, so Luke reminded her that he was at fault, not her, he's the heavy.
Why doesn't Laura just knock off the BS & tell Luke she is in love with him. Luke would protect her, be more understanding, loving, towards her than Scott would ever be!
Because this is the reason everybody is obsessed with watching. ❤
For those of us who lived through the landline phone era and thought Scotty could have picked up the phone in the bedroom at any time and listened to their whole conversation...yikes!! 😮
You could tell Laura was so bored being with Scotty with Luke he made her feel alive and loved

You had clues early on that Luke would become an alcoholic. When he got upset, he drank.
The dancing in the background is so funny!

Okay Shorty Luke said; " When you do tell him (Scott) about the rape, make sure you make me the heavy (bad guy) because I was."
One line. One line and TG kills it. So gut wrenching!
Scotty was after her for so long to talk to him about things and now he’s giving her the brush off
I don't know how i got through this the first time, I can barely wait now & I know what happens!
It is still so intense and so gripping!!
Scotty looks like a Ken doll in this outfit.
Yes he does! Scott had line lips and tiny teeth.
