Genie Francis "Laura Returns 1983" (part 10) Classic GH

[@dianagerding8541]

Was a fan for about 20 years!!! I still cry when I see Luke and Laura get married.. each time ❤

[@zhy590]

Love seeing these episodes, this is when General Hospital was at its best, seeing all the characters then and now that they're coming back. Robert, Luke, Laura, Holly, Tiffany and all the rest of the cast back then , GH was rocking, still my favorite Soap.

[@dianemcq64]

Tony just couldn’t keep his lips off Genie in these episodes! Very sweet.

[@cantharelluscibarius2244]

i discovered Luke and Laura 4 years ago on KZbin and i can't leave without seeing them sometimes they are so fascinating !

[@johngomes8874]

I love these classic episodes! Thanks 👍 for uploading them

[@gloriarider9688]

GREATEST ACTING EVER!! WHAT a WONDERFUL reunion!!

[@go-goakins1489]

Genie Francis is such a great actress! She made gh so interesting with her suspenseful characters. She later was great on days of our lives too🤟🤙

[@kirriko4004]

Love this story, Luke and Laura in General Hospital , to me they were the perfect couple. Thriller, Drama, Love Story. If you saw all the ups and downs, your real life was Dull and Boring. Perfect way to live and imagine an exiting and beautiful dream.

[@robincercone5117]

I was 21 when this debuted, brings back memories

[@stephanieconsi4825]

Genie actually crossing her fingers when Luke gets the call from Robert is just precious. Love her so much.

[@jodicorbin4497]

Wow so many characters in one room and that's not even the whole cast at this time I believe (contract or recurring). Shows you how different it was!

[@mjj1434]

Stavros is there lurking outside.

[@karenkingrey6142]

I never understood how dr Hardy & all were so deeply grateful for any Cassidine to be in town. After all the last dealing they had with that family they were trying to freeze them to death. Lol.

[@chrishansen9357]

has to be money

[@atlboo98]

they donated money to the hospital

[@karenkingrey6142]

Yes they donated money….they also nearly killed everyone in Port Charles….🤔

[@deborahs2593]

Ahhh yes. The beauty of the writers bringing us along even when we knew better! Leave your rational logic at the door....

[@atlboo98]

@karenkingrey6142 lmao yea but money means more than people lives apparently

[@ritagreenlaw8923]

This is a awesome episode with joy.

[@HeatherRose2023]

It’s interesting how references to Christianity were woven into the story, unlike today.😔

[@mowthpeece1]

They knew their audience. Stay at home moms tended to be conservatives. And white. Now audiences are more diverse and liberated from superstition.

[@mjj1434]

Yes, it was nice to see that!!

[@mjj1434]

Yes, it was nice to see that!!

[@Creating2413]

Christianity is not superstition and is not only believed by stay at home moms or conservatives or whites. I watched general hospital with my grandmother who raised me by herself almost like a single mom while she worked. She worked well into her 80s as a registered nurse.

[@alexjohnson9630]

A lot of fun drama and very entertaining. The problem is that the storyline never made any sense.

[@cessnaverdi]

"Let's party down" 😂

[@lisettegarvin5030]

John Stamos as Blackie

[@mjj1434]

Oh, if only they had a cell phone!!!!

[@jaredjlinden]

Emma Samms was and is a beauty, but she was in her early 20s here and they were dressing her like she was in her 50s. She also looked much better with longer hair.

[@mjj1434]

If only they had a food delivery service - something like a Skip the dishes” . See, she was hinting that there was a reason - Nikolas. He was investing money into the Cassadine Institute . And they need an invention like call waiting and a cell phone.

[@carolynstewart8465]

Oh the twists and turns of soaps. Laura returns to Luke but in real life Genie and the actor who played Stavros are together. A soap inside a soap. And Luke hooks up with Helena Cassadine aka Liz Taylor. Soap inside a soap inside a soap! 😨

[@mjj1434]

Were together, they were once dating. John Martinuzzi played “Stavros”.

[@absolutelydisgusted3319]

Boy, being the Mayor of Port Charles sure seems like a taxing job…. You get to live in the mansion, take the first week off, have a 3 minute press conference about your dead wife, and spend the majority of your time in a bathrobe. 🤣🤣

[@mjj1434]

Now, they would have an Air Marshal on board!

[@maryhlad5277]

Stavros Cassadine is a real snake in the grass. His good will with that contribution to General Hospital doesn't fool me one damn bit. That Greek snake wanted Laura back, and would do anything to make that happen.

[@michaelanderson9792]

We had a Greek girl in my high school she was an angel and her family was nice people we had a pool party and her Mother was kind

[@go-goakins1489]

True ! Glad Luke was there to stop 🛑 him 👈

He's more like Stefan Cassadine. Wonder if SN tailored his approach to Stefan Cassadine on the original Stavros?

[@gigismith7733]

Hi all. I didnt get that either. Why? I also agree that who ever thought or told genie that she didnt make general hospital had a screw lose . I just saw. The shows again. And the shows without her. Were boring until holly . I also love robert. I saw him on y and r. And I j.g ated him. Lol. Enjoy the viewing all.

[@Ylremik]

Judith Jerde Yep. They took Helena’s money right after the Ice Princess affair. And GH took the money again when Stefan came to town.

[@mjj1434]

@Texas - Donation to the hospital

[@mowthpeece1]

Helena apologized with her 10 million and made it ok.

[@mjj1434]

Interesting how Holly is also wearing dark blue - a couple of days prior - Laura was also wearing dark blue!!

[@mjj1434]

I thought Stavros got on the plane!!! Now, they would probably have had an Air Marshal - but they had no legal reason to hold him or question him.

Mike ( the young actor who played sly Stallone son in the movie🎥over the top💪).

[@maryhlad5277]

Exactly. David Mendenhall, who played Michael Cutler-Hawk in OVER THE TOP. The late Robert Loggia played Jason Cutler, Lincoln Hawk’s wealthy father-in-law, and Michael’s grandfather.

Claudia and Bryan- they were best friends with Laura and Scotty in college. I think the man who played Bryan passed away not too long ago.

[@JmBvhntnt28]

He did but the girl is still alive. She quit acting but it'd be nice if she popped up nowadays for a visit.

@@JmBvhntnt28 It would be cool if Joss friend Trina were Bryan and Claudia's granddaughter

@@Beatlefish I agree 100%. Laura's friend from college. The actor who played Bryan has since passed away but the lady has semi retired but would prob be open to cameos.

Who was that blond that walked by Scorpio and Ramsey? Helena?

[@GaelinW]

No. Back then Helena was a brunette (originally played by Elizabeth Taylor and later by another dark haired actress). She was never a blond until 1998 when they brought in Constance Towers to play here.
