Laura thinking she's not what Luke needs and Luke thinking she doesn't believe he's good enough for her. Both of them still so in love. Their push/pull was the best thing on TV. The way she would look at him. I'm sure Geary being so much older would soften in Genie's presence when she looked at him like that because she was so young and had really grown up on that set. I'm sure he felt very protective of her. To me that's what is bleeding through into the performance and making it so real to all of us viewers. Your heart just melted every time you saw them together even when they fought. They just seemed so real in their feelings for one another. It created magic and thank goodness Monty knew how to spot it. Now they think they can throw any two random people together and we're supposed to buy it. Guza and JFP wouldn't have known romance if it came up to them and slapped them. All they knew was sex and the grosser the better.
@@eddiecater1429 It seems to me it was Luke who was the one always taking off, jealous/hated her son Nikolas, & cheated on Laura too. That's enough for any woman to take!
Luke: Laura don't do that. Please will you stay? Please? Please. Wow Luke I thought begging was a no no. That is what you basically told Laura. Now YOU are the one begging. :) Then Laura had to say she has a date. Luke and Laura are both saving face.
I always thought that compelling about LUke.I mean he grew up in the streets. He learned to do WHATEVER he needed to to survive... to take care of himself.. he seems to be doing the same thing through this... and I find it interesting to see that side of his personality bubbling up to the surface.... it kind of hits home the fact that he truly needs Laura, and needs her to believe in him, and he needs to trust someone... and none of that is easy for him... he is always in self preservation mode.
A great analysis. In later shows where he talks more about it (other years no spoilers here) he talks about eating from garbage cans and dog food hamburgers. Luke is really really special and so very smart to have crawled out of that. Tony of course. Gets that. I’ve worked in poverty areas. Some parts never leave them. Tony is great. 😊. But it also explains HIS reaction to Laura’s “rejection” at press conference. It left him feeling “in essence naked” vulnerable, worthless and put him instantly back to his roots
Oh yes indeed it is just that its a addiction I just love all the great characters on GH ...then...Now well am so sorry but confused is the word I would use ..now!. It dark ,cold and very confusing Did I mention very dark and cold very cold. No rely family nor friends.. Well unless some of the older players are still breathing and moving about??? Am sorry just all haha ...not much though. JMVHO! PEACE OUT Rosie!
It was like Luke was in a trance but then someone knocked on the door he was out of the trance. Stupid Alex! GO AWAY! Luke did not want Laura to go! Come on Luke! Tell her you love her! WOAH! Luke was lying to Laura about being a man out there. He wanted her to stay so he made up someone was watching. :) I love you Luke. :) Stop playing games and tell her how you feel!
Rick was such a great dad to Laura. Can really feel pain. Unlike Laura who hurt Luke unintentionally, Luke is being deliberately cruel to her at times. Maybe they BOTH need to do some growing up.
Laura warned him and told Luke many times that she was afraid and filled with panic about dealing with reporters and other people and their demands. It was all because she had been traumatized as a kid by a predator, accidentally killing him, her mother being on trial and notoriety. Laura is innocent in all this mess, she just freaked out because of what she had endured and even though Luke KNEW all the things she had gone thru he took her defensive behavior at the police station personally. It makes No sense! Luke was too emotionally intelligent to do that! I wish the writers had come up with some better ideas to split them up if that's what they wanted to do...
He seems so vulnerable here, and open to her, more than when he was in the Quartermaine office building and first found out she was working there. He was cold and downright insulting. ("You mean nothing in my life") It is so odd to me that he fluctuates so wildly, but I should know the character better by now. At least they have it that Laura's character knows enough not to take it personally and that he is just mouthing off, to save face.
Frances Larsen I agree, I used to get mad how he was so hot and cold, but after watching these playlists, I see now it's just because he's so in love with her, he's an utter mess lol when he's hurt, he's mean to her to not show his hurt. Then there's times they make eye contact and he melts and he can't be mean 😊
I may be repeating myself but seeing these clips and then watching the ones from 2002 just tick me off. I just hate the way they turned Rick into a monster.
Yes, because he grew up on elm street and is so hungry for the material things he didn't have.... his second choice seems to have always been someone with money..... but until very recently that need has been second to true LOVE!
She did... she ALWAYS did... Laura and Rick had a wonderful relationship ... that's why the whole attic 2002 story was a TRAVESTY! Perhaps you are just remembering that!! UGH.
There is a HUGE hole in the 94 playlist without Denise Alexander. She was such an asset to General Hospital. TG and GF are my favorites and then DA. She makes me want to see more of her just by her amazing ability to seem like she is not acting.
S Turner I agree... I started to watch because of Genie Francis and Denise Alexander. They were totally relatable as a mother and daughter. They made me care about them... and it's probably the reason I still turn in (and out) even to this day.
GH Fever Was lucky enough to meet Ms. Francis and Ms. Alexander together. They are so darn cute in real life. Denise is so much more vivacious than Lesley, and even Genie was more bubbly in person... I think you have to be high energy to do their job! But they are very close .. in the real world too.
+sussezq Well I am glad that they have each other as friends because it seems that they were pretty disposable to some producers on the show. They were the best and yet they were treated like they were unnecessary imo if what I've read and heard is true. I know that Denise did an interview and spoke of Leslie being written off the show. It really feels totally different in the 90's without Leslie. Like a whole other show.
I LOVE HOW LAURA AND ALEX SPARE BACK AND FORTH WITH EACH OTHER. OH LUKE, STAND BACK IT GOING TO GET UGLY BETWEEN THESE TWO. I WISH THEY WOULD OF STARTED THE HAIR PULLING AND CLOTHES TEARING LIKE IN DYNASTY. LOL LUKE, YOU LIED ABOUT A GUY WATCHING YOUR PLACE...YOU JUST WANTED LAURA TO STAY A WHILE LONGER WITH YOU. LUKE: DAM...THERE IS A GUY WATCHING DOWN THERE... ALEX: WHAT? LUKE: OH, NOTHING JUST AN INSIDE JOKE. LOL
Denise Alexander is FANTASTIC... always has been. I am of the understanding that GF insists that Lesley be there when she comes back as Laura..... at least SOMEONE has a clue!
Don't know what they did to Rick's character since I haven't watched since L & L returned in was it 94? with Lucky, but it sounds like they really trashed his character. A crime that people who don't know how to write are given free reign to ruin characters and their histories. Was planning on watching past 1995 which was when I stopped, but probably not worth it, right?
SoSo right Sussezq...Denise Alexander is and will always be one of the top actress' in daytime. My understanding is that it is both of their contracts, that when Genie is back, Denise has to make a number of appearences. So if we could Genie back...A TWO FOR ONE!!! Just what us viewers need and dream for.
Laura you are wrong Luke is hurt look how jealous he is when he sees you with Robert Luke is trying to be cool hand Luke but if you pay attention Laura Luke is still in love with you
Alex talks/acts like she is jealous! Sorry Alex but Luke just isn't into you! Luke doesn't like pushy women that chase after him especially when they "run" down his Laura. That's why he wasn't into Jennifer she was pushy & chased after Luke & he was already in love with Laura! Alex isn't happy unless all the men are falling all over her. Ugh!
Alex can't hold a candle to Laura and neither could Jennifer Smith
Neither could Tracy.
Neither could Holly

Freaking well said!!!
I agree🔆
Oh my Goddamn that was so wonderful the way in which you put that. You let it all hang out in truth I loved it go,go,go, thanks. Rosie
Very upsetting. They both worked on the show when it was great. But couldn’t produce it.
i im a BIG luke and laura FAN im so thankful to the person that put up all os this its like reliveing the hole thing for the first time.
Me too. This is my umpteenth time watching.
@@tragicprincess8414
Me too, I watch this over and over.
Luke's voice ALWAYS softens when he talks to Laura...even when she left him in 2013. He melts in her presence.
That's nice. Yes it does. He speaks well too.
Yes, I've always loved that about Luke :)
@Zelda Z They both agreed that they no longer fit, even though I think they're in denial.
I know... by and by I love the way Luke helps Laura take off her coat. It is so sweet and tender Love. Rosie

It's about time the 2 women in my life met. At least he's admitting that's Laura's "in his life"
I expected Laura to give a little smile at that remark

Definitely. Luke was older but more immature than Scotty.
@@LynnEllingwood
I think he was just hurt and disappointed in the way she dealt with the reporters. Remember he thinks he’s beneath her.

"you forgot to mention the date" love the way Luke says that to Laura & love the way he speaks softly to her :)
This is how I like to remember Rick & Laura's father/daughter relationship - before the writers decided to ruin it :(
I know talk about spoilers ... They are the ones who screw up all of the GH family’s ...and the actors who play them. Thanks Rosie
I love how Luke isn't buying anything that Alex is selling!!!! ''GO HOME ALEX''! LOL!
You're not the first addicted.. and won't be the last... but you are in good company! ;-)
I hate that Laura is still married and can't get the divorce.
Enough already with Scotty.
He seems so vulnerable here, and open to her, more than when he was in the Quartermaine office building and first found out she was working there. He was cold and downright insulting. ("You mean nothing in my life") It is so odd to me that he fluctuates so wildly, but I should know the character better by now.

I recently watched "Valley of the Dolls" 1981 and Michael Gregory (the first Rick) played a doctor.
I may be repeating myself but seeing these clips and then watching the ones from 2002 just tick me off. I just hate the way they turned Rick into a monster.
ME TOO!!!! IN A BIG WAY it annoys the heck out of me what they did to this great relationship... and the characters of Rick and Lesley!!
Yes I agree with you whole heartedly with you Thanks. Rosie
Yes, because he grew up on elm street and is so hungry for the material things he didn't have.... his second choice seems to have always been someone with money..... but until very recently that need has been second to true LOVE!
Alex gorgeous? She is pretty but Genie is much more beautiful.
Yep
& Much younger too! Laura is not pushy or chases after Luke wanting to know his every move like Alex does either.
She did... she ALWAYS did... Laura and Rick had a wonderful relationship ... that's why the whole attic 2002 story was a TRAVESTY! Perhaps you are just remembering that!! UGH.
Laura put her drivers license to use tonight, we don't hear much about her driving.

Thanks so much for the restraint!!! I so appreciated it.... and it honestly doesn't need to be said.... we all know!! All too well!!
I NEVER LIKED ALEX !!!!
I never liked Bobbie
Laura, I wish Jennifer was still in the picture. It would of been nice to see you, Jennifer & Alexandria scratching each other eyes out.
Eddie Cater lol
Wonder which of them had the most money....
@@susanmartin313 Good question. I'll bet A.

Just noticed that Luke was hugging her coat….
PunkRockGirl24 Very well put!
She knew him well, even way back when... I'm more interested really in seeing what she thinks RIGHT NOW!! Lol
I love Alexandria. She was a great villain while she lasted.
All the characters back then were so well developed and played an important part in the story as a whole.
Love These 2...❤
Laura's pain I mean.
Luke and laura's coat..
Luck of a fool😂 there is an underlying Story here. Lol Tong Geary is hilarious poor guy. I'm in tears no wonder he moved to Amsterdam 😂
Laura you are wrong Luke is hurt look how jealous he is when he sees you with Robert Luke is trying to be cool hand Luke but if you pay attention Laura Luke is still in love with you
All I see is annyoying... so I can't even get to the pretty!
Yuck, I forgot how much I didn't like Alex.
@sussezq It wouldn't be a soap opera that's for sure!lol
Surprised he didn't end up with Celia in '83!
Alex talks/acts like she is jealous! Sorry Alex but Luke just isn't into you! Luke doesn't like pushy women that chase after him especially when they "run" down his Laura.
