GH - Luke and Laura - 1981 playlist p.114

[@rosiecoleman9689]

I know that Genie Francis was in Days of our lives, All my Children and The young and the restless. So great but when it comes to the very best that SoapNet has to offer well Luke and Laura GH is forevermore. When they kiss and show them love for each other no one, not no one can ever do it better ever. I miss them together so much it breaks my heart. Thank you for all the love.

[@keriwalker3861]

I totally agree. I always wonder who the writers were in the later years? The left handed boy and even the ice princess were so much fun. They were so In sync w/their performance. I truly feel in those early years they had a good bond b/c it came across so well.

[@lisacarman167]

@@keriwalker3861 When they returned in 1993 the writer was Claire Leblanc and she did a wonderful job. Then she was replaced by Bob Guza and he set out to destroy Luke and Laura by destroying Luke's character. He succeeded with the help of Executive Producer Jill Farren Phillips. We are just lucky that JFP was fired before she got the show cancelled.

[@keriwalker3861]

@@lisacarman167 Omg. Why on earth would they do that??? That’s insane.

[@lisacarman167]

@@keriwalker3861 I'm not really sure why they did that. I do feel that JFP had something personal against Genie Francis. First thing she did when she got hired at Y&R was to fire Genie and Tristan Rogers from that show along with other veterans. Luckily they didn't let her stay too long or she would have decimated that show like she did GH.

[@keriwalker3861]

I did see somewhere that Tony and a writing partner showed the a story that was the Luke and laura return in 93. On the run again from frank Smith.

[@sussezq]

They certainly are. Tony Geary and Genie Francis are amazingly talented individually... put them together and it is just something else!

[@kathylanda681]

Oh yes they are boom damn it gets even better IMHO... Well I getting better at this I try to be just a lil bit humble and.....just a tad. Thank Rosie

[@kathylanda681]

Yes Sus it’s. an explosion of mighty deep and tender LOVE for each other..... and no other JMHO. Rosie out

[@kathylanda681]

Yes it certainly dose. It’s a explosion of EPIC greatness, love trueness, and absolutely awesome reality. I for one will never forget the blood, sweat and tears put into this most EPIC TV daytime soap ever to grace our screens silver or other wise. Thank you so very much our Susseq you our, our BEST! JMHO ROSIE OUT.

Luke to Laura...''Your'e really moving right along'' [ in regards to the painting] lol ! They are the cutest of the cute...and a whole lot more!!! Love them sooo much!

[@judithjerde1574]

Hey Magenta has been a very a popular color 4 walls in recent years. I think I need 2 paint a room with Magenta! This episode is hilarious, Laura is so cute.

[@zannemarie6591]

"Little chilly tonight." More like a deep freeze, Luke. This scene in Luke's apartment is the one I remember the most. A lot of the early storyline I've forgotten the details, but I remember their apartments clear as day. Especially Laura painting with her pigtails.

[@joycewilliams4283]

I love Laura's sticky door! Those scenes were great!

[@annettehunt900]

@@joycewilliams4283 You know is kind of funny to me is the fact that Luke is supposed to be like in his early 30s. How long would a man go without sex, especially with all of these kissing interactions and he certainly wouldn’t wait for money to do it. I just wish they would be having sex all the time because my mind is in the gutter when I look at him and the way he looks at her.

[@karendunson4049]

Luke always protected Laura and defended her to others when they where being mean to Laura. The best couple in the world.

[@anniefenter8697]

Luke and Laura are getting closer!!

[@1305529]

well thinking back, im pretty sure i was deprived. how could i go on without my luke and laura. lol. but srsly these clips are amazing.

[@aggiesbaby]

I really miss the sibling dynamic on GH and soaps in general....like, what happened to those little moments where the sibling will call you out when you look like hell or being a jerk, etc? I secretly love it when my brother asks me for favors! *sigh* Oh Luke and Bobbi....we love you guys!

[@Blaize2001]

It's like random people in Port Charles had radar or security cameras on Luke and Laura. "Whenever they are about to make out or get it on, let's knock on their door or interrupt them somehow! *giggles* " - says entire PC population

[@Lukejunkie]

Despite the interruptions or maybe b/c of them (who knows?) these two have the sweetest kiss here!

[@2006bbbb1]

Ever since the "after the parade" kissing, its gone back to a regular thing for them to kiss again like this. Amen and about freakin' time!

[@kathylanda681]

Those two as you say Luke never without his Laura . They have the sweetest kisses all of the time. I can’t help it I just love Luke and Laura together forever. Love. Rosie.

[@Ylremik]

Luke looks so good in his suit.

[@haileynewsome6646]

I love Laura's hair, I luv pigtails, I wear them a lot

[@sussezq]

He looks good.. period!

[@sussezq]

No problem shrimp! So happy somone your age is enjoying this couple! ; ) My main objective was to show you youngins' ( meant with the utmost respect) the REAL Luke and Laura.

[@keriwalker3861]

The early years before laura left were so much fun!!!! I’m so glad I found this KZbin channel!!!!!!

[@coheedfan2808]

I like when Laura has stuff on her face, like the raspberries in the left handed boy series. So cute!

[@susanmartin313]

Really makes her look young

[@wrjsell]

I gotta say, it looks better than before.

[@1305529]

thank you. these clips are great.

[@jacifertik7038]

Luke personality was so much better and real when he was young when he got old he acted like a fruit cake especially with Tracey

[@gerardfonz]

What do you expect? The writers stripped away everything he built up with Laura and family as well as his good guy hero image. Geary had a say in some changes later on but that was after the writers started altering their history.

[@keriwalker3861]

I miss lucky and lulu not being on GH in the present. L&L’s kids need to have a presence since we no longer have Luke and laura has had to deal a lot with Nicholas’s side.

[@sussezq]

She ALWAYS looks great... GF is GORGEOUS!

[@karlamazzola8898]

Luke to Alex....'' I love magenta it's the closest thing to eggplant'' LoL ! Defend you're lady Luke , you go!!!!

[@sussezq]

Goodnight Everyone. Thanks so much for keeping me company while I worked!

[@clkhp]

I love Laura in pigtails!! So cute!!

[@GalinaUlavana]

I love Laura! Genie never got the credit she deserved for her role in those days. I wonder why her agent did not represent her better. She is irreplaceable.

[@highhopes3820]

So true and she proved it when she left GH at the end of 1981. 3 seperate women were brought in. No make that 4 Demi Moore, Jeanine Turner, Emma Sam's and whoever the heck played Connie. It was a joke and IMO made TG look bad. One part of Chemistry is complimenting one another. TG said in an interview he could throw the best kiss ever but if your partner can't make it look like the best kiss it's nothing

[@rosiecoleman9689]

Go away Alex just go!

[@bonniepurins1027]

Wonder how many people decided to paint their walls magenta that year

[@yvonnecooper5004]

😅😅😊

[@jlomax]

Laura should have placed some paint on the back of Alex's coat!!!

[@debrahubbard763]

God, He was a gorgeous man when he was in his 30's!!! He still looks pretty good, albeit looking like he's in his 70's, which he is.

[@yvonnecooper5004]

A cool hippie.😊

[@yvonnecooper5004]

I also agree he looked gorgeous back in the day.❤

[@debrahubbard763]

KZbin AG fans: why do you say AG is a hippie? Didn't really see it then. Now, DEFINITELY!

[@mallox77]

Today, this color is very popular. Funny how opinions on paint color change.

[@judithjerde1574]

Still luv it in 2020!

[@mowthpeece1]

That mauve paint is gorgeous!

[@haileynewsome6646]

I've always hated Alex for the way she treated Laura like crap

[@susanmartin313]

And she's not done yet

@@susanmartin313 But it all balances out in the end.

[@karlamazzola8898]

There is this thing called civility and one called forgiveness Lee! I don't see why he always has to make both Luke and Laura feel so uncomfortable every time he sees them!

[@christineadams1284]

Some people hang on to anger to long, especially an alcoholic or drug addict. An alcoholic has a different brain once the alcohol has hurt some brain cells. They tend to focus and hold onto things that have deeply hurt them, yet they don't look for the positive in life and how to change their life, they don't know how. They usually come from a dysfunctional alcoholic childhood, and alcoholism is hereditary. I grew up in this type of home, so I understand the alcoholic and his pain, and the alcoholic in my home had been so abused by his parents emotionally and physically he used alcohol to numb his pain and never spoke to his parents again.

[@2006bbbb1]

Well TPTB are keeping that hate alive in Lee for the autumn, as we know. ;-)

[@Creating2413]

Yes but it doesnt make sense because Lee was supposed to have moved on from hate and was the only one to give Laura understanding and time after the rape. Its quite a switch. Lee's attitude toward Laura doesn't make sense and Laura doesn't make sense the way she talks to Lee

[@kobey1sun]

Laura looks great here

[@kobey1sun]

Luke is speechless

[@sussezq]

@sonyab1974 Oh sorry! I find it easier with the clips with the lousy tape hum... well I will clarify whenver I can.

[@ionestevens1846]

Hello ZQ.....do you know where I can watch full episodes of the Luke and Laura saga starting with 1979?

[@vandouglasjr1613]

Laura is so in love with Luke and vise versa they need to admit it and knock it off

[@whatifhypotheticallyi1578]

GF/Laura really leans in when kissing Luke like she is really enjoying kissing him.

[@NoneofYourbusiness-ey3js]

Wouldn't you, I know I would have enjoyed it

[@sonyab1974]

Luke you are the one who wanted Magenta for your walls! ROFL! Oh jealous Alex don't be rude. HUTCH YAY! I wish I could hear Luke and Laura talking at the table. Ah well. :)

[@susanmartin313]

He really didn't, it was a cover, for paying the professional painter to stay away from a job so Luke could take his place

[@sonyab1974]

@@susanmartin313 Ahhhh. Okay. :)

[@debrahubbard763]

Anthony Geary was always very conscious of his being older than Genie Francis. Humphrey Bogart was 25 years older than Lauren Bacall, and they were one of the hottest, most sexy, most romantic couples in Hollywood!!! Why couldn't Tony just accept that he and Genie Francis were the Bogart and Bacall of General Hospital!!!!!!

[@highhopes3820]

I agree totally! They had it all!

[@NoneofYourbusiness-ey3js]

I think if she had been her twenties when they started it have bothered him so much. It was her being a teenager that got to him

[@whatifhypotheticallyi1578]

Luke is so condescending to Alex.lol😀

[@wlsweat1]

It's bothered me that the wardrobe people couldn't find a pair of tennis shoes/aka sneakers for Laura to wear while painting. Hard bottom shoes while painting....hmmm

[@terricoleman5495]

I read somewhere that Genie was so much shorter than Tony and other cast members, they put her in boots & wedges to bring her up nearer to their heights

Yeah, I don't feel bad about what happens to Alex in the future. She's a snot.

[@suemcgee612]

Wish I knew who the "dead pigeon " was.

[@ghfever4445]

Laura is so cute! I am on my 4th time watching this playlist and I still don't get something. Did Luke really buy that paint for his apartment and pay the Johnny Green painter guy the 150 dollars to paint it or was the paint part of his plan to pose as a painter? He bought the magenta paint then seems to not like it. (even though he told Alex otherwise to spare Laura's feelings imo) For some reason I feel like I missed something in this part of the storyline.

[@sussezq]

S Turner I don't think you are missing anything. He didn't intend to have his apartment painted. He just needed info, a cover. He paid the money to be him for the day so he could scope out the situation and get info. I am sure the magenta was a left over and really cheap. Laura was just trying to help out... but didn't really know what was going on.

[@ghfever4445]

Ok. That is kind of what I thought but never could make sense of it for some reason. Thanks.

[@supermom23]

I think you’re right... he wanted to pose as a painter so maybe grabbed any cheap paint he could find. But he couldn’t tell Laura that.

[@izzatluv]

Luke matches his walls! Mauve and grey were big wall colors in the 80s-yuck

[@NoneofYourbusiness-ey3js]

I hate luke putting his arm around alex
