GH - Luke and Laura - 1981 playlist 312

[@TheDMSK]

" Give me your hands children." LOL I just love Mrs. Whitaker!

[@betsykeller9096]

Mrs. Whitaker has some crazy eyes! I love how you can mix up a group of characters like this - one of the wealthiest members of the community, a diner owner (Rose), a farm marm, Elm Street, a licensed physician, a street-wise cabby, etc., etc., and it all works! It allows the fictional community of Port Charles to be portrayed as a small, friendly town. Really nice casting and story writing.

[@suemcgee612]

Betsy Keller I love this description, Betsy. Very apt.

[@tyrarenae3486]

I wish my town was like Port Charles!

[@2006bbbb1]

@@tyrarenae3486 Mayor Collins was just talking about Port Charles being this great community on the show today. I bet that is a rare opinion of the town on the show today.

[@gerardfonz]

Excellent point.

[@karlamazzola8898]

Love how Mrs Whitaker talks to them, and all is well w L&L!!!!!!!

[@2006bbbb1]

For now.

[@2006bbbb1]

when Mrs. Whittaker explains to Luke and Laura the reason the want the big wedding was because "we love you" was so sweet and made me a bit weepy. It so exemplifies how we all, the audience, felt about them then and now and most likely forever.

[@dlwoods7]

WOW Laura has always been one strong women when it came to Luke even when she was this young. That is what made them WORK!

[@rickstraus9725]

Loving every moment of Mrs. Whitaker...."WE LOVE YOU!" 52 jamaica

[@sussezq]

They had so many fantastic character actors in supporting roles back then. The formula on current day GH is so off.... they try to make everyone a lead and it is truly a detriment to the story telling IMHO.

[@eddiecater1429]

Mrs. Whitaker was the only one who could of talked Luke & Laura out of a disaster

[@sussezq]

Mrs. Whitaker is a GREAT character!!

[@sussezq]

I agree... she really needed to have an amazing combination of strength and compassion to "toss it in" (as he would say) with Luke Spencer! Laura is a FANTASTIC character!

[@ionestevens1846]

Mrs.Wittaker to the rescue......perfect scene with her cool head and wisdom of her age

[@marybeckett7201]

OMG LAURA KO,ED LUKE,, SHE NEEDED TO DO THAT IN LATER YRS TOO,,, TO SET HIM STRAIT,,,,

[@Cocodan-jn5md]

sis I know I been making my comments,but there is one comment I have yet to make and that is I APPRECIATE YOU. My daughter died a few months ago and these Posts help to make me smile again.

[@MrsLukesotherlaura]

This is where we started seeing the new tougher side of Laura. She knew how to stand her ground., with Luke and everyone else.

[@debrahubbard763]

She was right!!! I would have slapped the fire outta him too!!

[@yankeepeach96]

I just noticed that 312 is the number in the 1979/80 playlist where the kitchen confrontation took place after their return home.

[@betsykeller9096]

Back 3 years later, and not too long after just getting through Suss's 95-96 playlist, and just getting into Goku5's 96-99 Spencer vs Cassadine saga. But, what made me chuckle, is watching Laura slug luke, and just about 2 weeks ago I was watching Laura slug Damien Smith. She did not lose any strength in that 15 years! LOL!

[@rosdreamer19]

We truly appreciate your efforts susse!

[@orlandobabe]

Go Laura! Right in his kisser!

[@Zeddiebgirl13]

Luv Mrs. Whitaker...and NO hitting kids!

[@sussezq]

Having a hard time getting these uploaded .. just so you know I AM here and trying!

[@marybeckett7201]

THIS IS THE REAL GENERAL HOSPITAL,,, NOT WHAT THERE SHOVELING OUT TODAY 3/18,,, REAL PEOPLE, OF ALL WORKS OF LIFE,,, LOVED IT HERE,, IT,S REAL,, TO ME,,,,

[@Oppedisiridis]

love this... so cute!!!

[@sussezq]

I am so very sorry for your loss Cynthia. My father died way too early and tragically and this stuff got me through that ... I thought it might help other folks as well so decided to post it all to share. I am glad you are able to find some respite here.

[@karlamazzola8898]

Emma..'' They can't do that to us'' [ about L&L's wedding] I am afraid that you have NO say, Emma! LOL

[@orlandobabe]

Jesus!!!!! People!!!!!! Mind their business no mind their DAMN business!!!!! It is a wedding between Laura and Luke. I am glad I am not engage, if I ever was all the world will not pressure me and my betrothal into having a wedding their way.

[@sussezq]

Just wanted to let you know I am having a hard time getting these posted.

[@angelicabond8724]

They did not owe anyone any wedding big or otherwise. Frankly Robert is there if Luke is going to act like that and accuse her of lying who needs him? You can marry Robert!

[@spots7418]

No she can't, he doesn't know it at this point. But, the love of his life will be in the future. 1983

[@lisah9709]

Not if Laura gets to Robert first. I agree, I think it's terrible that Luke accused her of lying to him and betraying him and with no evidence. I love Luke but I wouldn't marry a man who had so little trust in me. Also, he never took any responsibility for what happened when they came back to Port Charles after the Left handed boy. He promised Laura he'd stand by her and hold her hands. He failed and then blamed her for freaking out...🙃

[@jimmywaynegirl]

@sussezq I agree, love her!

[@wrjsell]

Hey, the slumber party idea sounds like fun, but I'm pretty sure Sus's hubby wouldn't agree LOL

[@sonyab1974]

LUKE! You CAN trust her! I know what happened to the divorce papers! And I would love to tell you but I can't because we got new people here who have never seen these scenes so I can't spoil it for them. Lila: They owe us a big wedding. I'm sorry Lila why do they owe you a big wedding? :) Man this is so annoying. the vote is so dumb.

[@supermom23]

Love Mrs. Whitaker, but she looks like she's possessed when she talks!

[@lisanealy1703]

This comment had me laughing out loud😀😀😀

[@2006bbbb1]

I like to think of it as an intensity. Agnes Whittaker is a very intense lady, but extremely sweet.

[@eddiecater1429]

Ms. Whitaker imo Luke should of been the only one who had to apologize.

[@sussezq]

Sure!

[@angelicabond8724]

Luke can be a jerk accusing her of lying is shameful. DIsgusting.

[@gerardfonz]

Looks like Emma really is high class now.

[@maryparker7872]

Love love Mrs Whitaker

[@kindhearted1]

They're talking about the wedding but did I miss where Luke actually proposes?

[@hollyvancamp5484]

He proposed back before they left on the ice princess caper. When he was still living upstairs of her.

[@eddiecater1429]

Tell them Slick, Luke & Laura can't do know eloping

[@clair4076]

Even though I ff all Slick scenes I don't miss any of the plot lol.

[@MrsLukesotherlaura]

This is where we started seeing the new tougher side of Laura. She knew how to stand her ground., with Luke and everyone else. What day did this episode air originally?

[@2006bbbb1]

Actually this clip is from two different days. Friday October 23, 1981 and October 26, 1981.

[@sussezq]

Yeah.. sorry I just couldnd't make it work!

[@sussezq]

He wouldn't care!

[@angelicabond8724]

Tristan and Genie played spouses on Y and R.

[@2006bbbb1]

Ex spouses. Cane was their son.

[@angelicabond8724]

@@2006bbbb1 Yes but their characters had been previously married whatever anyway. Just mentioning they had acted later on together on another show.

[@pearlrawson8636]

I remember watching General Hospital all those years ago. What I didn’t remember was how impatient and selfish the character Luke Spencer is/was. Sheesh. what a spoiled brat he was. lol

[@lisah9709]

I don't know what it is about this fight, whether it's the dialogue which seems hokey or the fact that I don't believe Luke wouldn't trust Laura at this point but whatever it is it makes their acting not as good. They are great actors but even they can't make this ridiculous fight believable!🤔🙃
