Luke was one salty dog!! He flipped the script on ole’ Frank! I didn’t understand in 1980 why he was so pissed, but he had every right to demand respect. It was hard to respect a Luke pining for a woman he couldn’t have, led around by the nose by Jennifer and shuffling around as Frank’s “boy.” Now he blows up! Maybe knowing Laura is a vague possibility has given him newfound strength. Enough!!! I love this strong Luke! He is his own man and using Jennifer as leverage is brilliant. The writing was fantastic! Now we head off in search for the Left Handed Boy! And so it begins . . . fasten your seatbelts. 😮
I actually looked forward to when it got to this point because Luke's demeanor around Frank Smith became more confident and dominant and not so submissive. Love this forceful, strong, powerful Luke.
I admire Luke's character the way he isn't afraid to talk straight to anyone even a mob boss. As part of his past on elm Street seeing a lot of criminality, he is very determined not to be a criminal and it's incredibly important to him to make sure he doesn't get sucked into the criminal end of the business.
Absolutely. No reason for that. I got rid of the family member who threw my furniture. But boy oh boy I don’t know why it’s so fun to see Tony Geary go!!!!
Wow! This is one part I don't remember at all. Another turning point in the story! The more I watch the more I think they could connect today's drunk, married to Tracy, not doing anything the character would do Luke, to losing Laura and make it all make sense to us. I guess they would have had to watch all of this to make that connection though. I think that is the basic problem. They do not know the history that a lot of the viewers do.
Yes I do agree with you on that one. Luke ‘ s Character has changed so much. I don’t think Luke knows who the hell he is anymore either. As far as the history ofGH quite frankly I don’t think the writers of GH don’t really give a good God Sorry damn. They just don’t care anymore about any of the fans who love this once great and near great TV daytime show. So again that is why I don’t and won’t ever watch it ever again. RIP. GH. Love. Rosie
@@kathylanda681 While it is true that losing Laura did have a huge effect on Luke, I do not like the way they made out Luke to always have been unhappy with Laura, their marriage and their kids. They rewrote their entire history by saying Luke always cheated on Laura and is the father of Ethan. That I think is what most old time viewers is upset about. Don't try to destroy the love that Luke and Laura shared.
@lisacarman167 I agree. They made Luke something he was not. He was ridiculously in love with Laura. There is no way he cheated on her like that. His entire life was Lauracentric, it revolved around her.
OHHH !! Man I actualy cringed and coward watching Luke throw that bar stool !! No wonder I couldn't get enough of GH when this aired the first time. I was 19 yo, married and had a 1 year old and we lived in an apartment complex with 10 buildings that held 24 apartments. It was very hot that summer and in the evening residents would all gather at the picnic tables and talk about LnL !!/:)
My aunt was stationed in the army in Germany. They couldn't get GH over there. Every week I would write her and tell her what happened between Luke and Laura and she would read it to all her friends 😊😊
@@cindyfarnsworth7509 So it begins! The best of the best “The Left Handed Boy! Well Luke you should run!..... Only don’t forget your good luck charm.....Your Laura..?you know the one... Sooo cute kind of small. She always gives you her best baby blue’s ha ha! Well she does mess up ....Sorry a lot!... But you have to give it to her.....Laura is learning ...aah from the very best! JMVHO! Love. Rosie!
This is so much fun. Luke is really having a tantie here isn't he? I hope that chair throwing wasn't ' ad lib', or it would have freaked out Bobbie and Ruby. Thanks so much for the posting. Loving it, though not getting much sleep
Luke doesn't care about anyone when he's on a tangent.. He cares soo soo much about the others but not when he's crossed. He will burn them all down with him. This is the dangerous part of him. It has a name and it's not a good one. We do love him for it, though, don't we?
I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS IN HIGH DEFINITION... EXCELLENT QUALITY... OMG... ABC... WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM.. HOW ARE SOAPS NOT MONEY MAKERS... CREATE A NEW SOAP ALREADY.... IT'S STILL A VIABLE BUSINESS.. JUST GET GREAT WRITERS AND ACTORS....
Sue McGee I agree. Sadly in todays world if you slap someone, especially a family member you get hauled off to jail. Even if it is an adult son of 25 yrs old and they deserved it. ☹️
@@christineadams1284 Yes I do agree Ruby should have whipped Luke’s ASS .Now second yes you can get into trouble if you do say hit or kick somebody’s butt even if they do deserve that whipped ASS ! I think that dose suck because you are damn if you do..and damn if you don’t! Let’s face it your damn anyway! So what is a parent or a garden to do? Then when the law comes a knocking on your door who do you turn to for help? .... In the long run you are still screwed either way! Sorry to damn bad I will whipped that ASS. Sorry but order in the court, order in the court here come the judge...Look I don’t mess I will not go to jail because I did not instill or teach my children how to respect the Law and there elders...or themselves. Sorry JMVHO. Rosie out!
"This room is completely soundproof Luke, no one can hear you", but then you clearly hear Frank before he comes back into the office. Classic example of soaps not giving a shit about story logic/continuity.
GOOD GOING LUKE, TAKE CHARGE WITH MR. SMITH. LUKE: HEARS A PHONE...WAIT IT'S IN THE CUPBOARD???....THERE IS A RED PHONE IN THERE. LUKE ANSWERS " YES......BLA BLA BLA MARK IT IN THE BLACK BOOK. MAN ON PHONE HANGS UP. OKAY, LUKE, ITS GETTING CRAZY. YOU MIGHT WANT TO PACK A BAG..... CALLING BILL WATSON, YOUR FISHING BOAT IS READY... LOL
Luke says he's going to have it out with Frank Smith because he's in the right mood. Meaning he's realized he played all his cards on the sailboat and he still can't have Laura so he doesn't care what happens to him. That's been true Luke character over the years. Without Laura he becomes even more reckless.
whoo hoo! the strange gonging red phone, mission impossible type music, "what's the black book?" he says.... the voice on the other end of the phone doesn't sound familiar, knowing what I know having seen it, I thought it might be a certain person but it didn't sound like him/her....
Frank is a great bad guy but no "Godfather" would allow an employee to talk to him the way Luke did. I also would never buy the idea that Frank would ever kill Jennifer. Yes, I know that these kind of men have killed their own sons, but Jennifer was the ONLY blood Frank had, also she adored Daddy, and he her. He loved her so much that he tolerated Luke's shit. Luke made it clear he was only marrying Jennifer to get to the top, Frank knew he loved Laura, but Jennifer wanted Luke and Daddy wanted to give her anything she wanted. No way that would fly in real life.
Yes I agree with you. Luke is just a nobody going no where .....Just sitting around getting drunk with his own sad thoughts! Married to a rich bewitch getting so sauced he can’t see the dark mistake’s he made along that path he took leaving the only true love he ever really loved! JMVHO..Rosie out...His sadness is in his court now????
Excellent observation. I was thinking though, remember that scene back a ways where Luke was upset and he says he's from elm street he'd never end up with the Laura Baldwin's and Tracy Quartermaines of the world... do you think just being married to Tracy, he feels like he has gotten to a place of respect... the Q's are all so disfunctional anyway... I don't know. Didn't get current day today, with Luke saying he wanted kids to look up to him..... LOOK UP TO WHAT?? He is a mere shadow of himself
In Tracy he found a drinking partner,the money,the name.he always wanted.He never thought he was good enough for Laura,and I think he felt guilty for her going catatonic even though Scott was responsible for that.Luke, I don't think or anyone else besides Lu found out Scott killed Rick or why would Laura marry Scott later on?He never stopped loving Laura.He told her many times she was the one great love of his life!He made the statement once when Lucky almost married Liz that he didn't know if everyone including himself wouldn't be better off if he didn't get on his motorcycle and ride out of their lives forever!
@@janetmyles8764 Leslie knows about it. When Laura's getting ready to remarry Scotty she yells at Scotty about it. So yes someone else absolutely knew about it.
“Oh wow “ did you read the script I your spair time or did you help rewrite the whole thing sometime later? Wow they are talking about a horse of a different color. As far as am concern especially when it comes to Luke boy anymore darker and he will be a shadow of his former self. No where land only money self respect and a woman who bosses him around all day.plus thinks that she owns him body and soul....well good luck with ....That Luke. Remember what they say be careful what you wish for...?you just may get it........and want to give it.....back. Oh almost forgot love Rosie

Tony is one fabulous actor!!!
Oh please, he's hammy and over the top. If it wasn't for overacting, he wouldn't be able to act at all.
Yeah, you’re right! Millions of fans, 8 Emmy’s and 14 nominations . . . he couldn’t act his way out of a paper bag. 🤣😂🤣
@@rodjohnson3045 He can be restrained too. Come on the guy has mad skills! The love scenes are incredible
Luke, the way you treated Bobbie & Rubi was uncalled for

IT IS the SAME Office, and it is supposed to be the same office... you'll find that out later.
Did you see Ruby jump and grab Bobbi protectively when luke threw the chair? Intense!
OH! The little black book! Left handed boy! I remember! Oh this is exciting! So close to the summer excitement! :)
I love Luke so freaking much but if i were aunt Ruby i would've slapped the hell outta him for yelling at her and Bobby like that

My heart is pounding and Im not even half way through watching this clip!
Frank Smith is one cool cucumber.
Is it me, or was Frank Smith's office reformatted to serve as ELQ headquarters later in the series? It's exactly the same layout.
StephaniePisces Yes. After they return from the left handed boy s/l, the Quartermaines buy it.

Yes, and for the ELQ offices they got rid of the satanic baphomet horn statute. Thank goodness.

No I dont agree. Luke has the confidence to believe hes going to end up with Laura now that he knows she loves him.

Yes, but you probably know that by now!
They KNOW the story!! I still have hopes that is what will happen in the end... maybe I'm crazy... not sure yet.
I agree, he used to be so intense and now he just sits around doing a whole lot of nothing. I don't find him interesting at all any more.
