GH - Luke and Laura - 1981 playlist p.131

[@MsChemicalEngineer]

OMG, I love the kiss goodbye between Laura and Luke!! I remember what it was like when you couldn't possibly walk away fro each other without the kiss and I Love You's!!! This is a real walk down memory lane for me!! Thanks for posting!

[@KDL861]

Rick keeps saying he just wants Laura to be happy. Over and over he says it. RICK! She’s Happy! She’s happy!

[@stephaniecostello2262]

I thought he was going to say her safety. He would've had more leverage with that argument.

[@zannemarie6591]

I'm glad Laura stood up to Rick. She spent way too long in her life trying to do what she thought others wanted and then having it blow up in her face.

[@dlwoods7]

It is also a beginning of a new life! Great way of putting it Luke!!

[@joydunn2109]

I Love this! So Wonderful! the way Family Values are present, Especially how we Respected our Elders. Luke says Sir and the Nurses are kind and Respectful to each other, and what really matters the most the Nurses are kind and Respectful to their patients.

[@jlgreen3]

Laura has grown up so much since last summer! I'm so proud of her for telling Rick and for saying it would be worth all the talk!

[@ellyreginald6546]

I love a world where everyone just comes into work "late"

[@Oppedisiridis]

this makes me so happy lol!!!.. such a great story

[@lisacarman167]

I loved Luke's statement that he would never cheat on his woman, Laura. That's why the rewrite adding Ethan made no sense. The later writers must not have ever watched these scenes and never really knew the real Luke and Laura.

[@anniefenter8697]

I love their Purple clothes in these scenes!!❤❤

[@FrancesLarsen-z3h]

I love so many of their outfits back then:)))

[@as008m]

I read recently that when TG and GF came back to GH in the 90's as Luke and Laura they were given a certain amount of creative control in order to protect the legacy of L&L, and TG even had a producer fired bc of the direction he wanted to take the story in. So sad how times have changed :-/

[@kathylanda681]

Yes it is very sad. Love. Rosie

[@KatharineDalton-xv5ud]

Shows you just how much power TG had on the GH set.

[@sussezq]

@dc8058 LOL.. well the truth is his is amazing entertainment.. everyone behind it put their hearts, souls, blood, sweat and tears into it.. they cared about the final product... so sorry we can't say that about a lot of what passes for entertainment these days... the people who produced this and TG and GF deserve all the credit in the world. It is fantastic television.. and deserves to be seen!!

[@kathylanda681]

Yes it most certainly dose this only proves that many fans Loved Luke and Laura together. All of over 30 million fans did and still do. Oh Luke andTracy I guess where funny. But there is no reality in any of there storylines now nonexistent fake and very forced. I see no family no happiness no love and no tenderness anywhere. JMHO. Thank Rosie

[@cindys5426]

Around the time of the parade they stayed up for 2 or 3 nights in a row,so much going on. Now after a night like that....Going home just to change clothes ,and off they go like a couple of Energizer Bunnies. Lol

[@jlomax]

hi Sus!!!! how goes it?? I LOVED the relationship with Laura and Rick..... I HATE how the writers screwed that relationship up too!! Sigh...

[@orlandobabe]

Poor Slick, he mixed Philanthropist with philander.

[@LynnEllingwood]

I love the way Luke explains to him so respectfully.

[@rosanncoleman1462]

OMG how I miss and love Slick Jones. Love Rosie.

[@KatharineDalton-xv5ud]

Slick's great. He may not have an extended vocabulary but he's a hoot in a plaid suit!

[@TheDMSK]

Hi Sus and all L&L fans, hope your weekend is going well. Rick is right, it is nice to see Laura so happy, (Luke too)!

[@monicajones5943]

Luke should have just told Rick: I'm going to make you an offer you can't refuse.This is the most gangster way of asking for Laura's hand in marriage.

[@monicajones5943]

This is still a gangster style way of asking for Laura's hand in marriage. Good Luck Chuck.

[@cindyfarnsworth7509]

THAT IS TOO FUNNY, BUT I WOULD OF LOVED TO OF HEARD LUKE, SAY THAT TO RICK. RICK DOES'NT HAVE ANY ROOM TO TALK. LUKE, WAS RIGHT ABOUT HER MARRIAGE TO SCOTTY BOY, IF IT WAS SOLID IT WOULD'NT OF BROKE DOWN. SCOTTY DIDN'T TREAT HER LIKE A WOMEN, BUT LIKE HE WAS HER DADDY AND HER A CHILD. HE EVEN SAID THAT TO BRIAN, WHEN THEY WERE STILL TOGETHER.

GH needs to bring Laura back, but not to stay with Scotty, but to save Luke.

[@rosanncoleman1462]

People please Laura was always rescueing Luke in and out of HIS troubles. Hay now look how he repays her ...sweet right?

[@sonyab1974]

Luke: I said philanthropist not a pimp. ROFL! Luke: When it comes to my woman. I do not fool around. Damn straight! And Jealous Luke came out again when Laura said she will have someone at the auction to help me. He must have thought she ment Robert. :)

[@janetmyles8764]

That is why it is hard to believe that he would ever cheat on Laura.He never loved anyone like her no matter how they wrote the story.He loved her from the first moment he saw her!!!!He dropped everything anytime she needed him.They were so happy together.Their eyes literally shown when they looked at each other!!!

[@kathylanda681]

@@janetmyles8764 Thank you Janet you have said a mouth full. Really I feel the same believe me. I miss all of the people who where on GH I still do. OMG those where the day’s I love the 80’s and some 90’s but the early 70’s and 80’s where my greatest joy. JMVHO. Rosie.

[@sussezq]

DEFINITELY!!

[@sussezq]

I know... and I believed him... didn't you... that Luke was MUCH more believeable than Luke 2008-09!!

[@knittin4u]

Watching this over 30 years later as a parent, the whole meeting with Laura's father was not handled well. Instead of addressing Rick's comment that his main concern was that Laura be happy, Luke continued to be confrontational and so did Laura. This would not have ended as well in real life. As Laura's father, Rick had a right to be concerned (after all, Luke was a man in his early 30's and Laura was still only 19 years old) and Luke should have reassured Rick that he only wanted Laura's happiness as well and that he was dedicated to making sure that happened. He also should have apologized for getting Laura involved in the whole mess the previous summer. As two men who both Laura, they would have found common ground if this would have happened. Not impressed at all with the writing of this scene. It just wasn't well-thought out.

[@ebonylady]

In real life they still would've tied the knot because the days of begging for parental approval has expired so if the parent doesn't like their choice as a mate then they'll have to live with their own thoughts.

[@sewforlife5728]

Luke wasn't in his 30s. Tony may have been but not Luke. Luke was in his mid to late 20s.

[@lorikoehler1678]

@@ebonylady true but depends whether you want to get along with your in-laws

[@cynthiahirons1203]

@@sewforlife5728 yes like Tony Geary Luke was 14 years older than Laura which would make him 32

[@cynthiahirons1203]

No if you look at fandom the year of Luke's birth is 1948 so he was in his 30s

[@WalkinOnTheBlvd]

I dont understand why everyone hates luke now. I love him. he's the funniest character on GH and he's the only one with really cool lines. To me he seems like the super hero of port charles. I just wish Stefan would return so he would have a reason to be pissed off again

[@sussezq]

Yeah Rick and Laura had a great relationship back then.... it was really bizarre how they turned him all evil!!

[@janetmyles8764]

And let Scott get by with killing Rick and letting Laura and Luke believe she did it! Between that and Helena Casadine, LNL were destroyed again!!!

[@2006bbbb1]

@@janetmyles8764 They did all find out that Scotty was the one who killed Rick.

[@KatharineDalton-xv5ud]

Yeah, I thought the incident in the attic with Rick was a truly bizarre storyline and highly improbable. Sometimes it's like the writers are on a runaway train.

[@sussezq]

thats interesting...... and weird.... genie loved her character on amc but they made her quit because she was worth more to them as Laura....how does that still not hold true????

[@2006bbbb1]

I suppose the passage of time is the real reason. She was more valuable, yes then, in 1993. But times and regimes have come and gone. Very sad, but very true. :--(

[@sussezq]

The problem is nobody has faith that they will do what is right, needed, deserved by the audience... so everyone is afraid to be invested in current day events for this couple! I mean we get Genie Francis back and they rip her away 5 seconds later and leave the story in shambles... hard to put yourself out there to hope!

[@Africana3789]

I love Slick and Rick.

[@sussezq]

Hey Mo... I'm great. Thanks for asking!

[@gerardfonz]

I can’t even imagine going all day then overnight and through another day without sleep. And I’m not too sure Luke gets any sleep after the auction either.

[@tyrarenae3486]

Does anyone know what ever happened to Slick?

[@lynnmoore7029]

So why did Heather all the sudden need to make a phone call. She came out of nowhere, unless I'm missing something.

[@sussezq]

That was part of something else that was going on. I can't remember that was edited out a long time ago not part of Luke and Laura Story.

[@bsota8513]

It's "all of a sudden ", not "all the sudden".

[@sonyab1974]

@as008m Yeah! TG and GF used to fight for their characters. They don't do it anymore. :(

[@kathylanda681]

Please what is there to fight for anymore. It seem to me IMHO. Like no one cares anymore. The writers won. Luke and Laurathe children and over30 million fans lost. We all lost the best GH had to offer. Thanks Love. Rosie

[@sussezq]

I'm hoping he will be back... there is rumblings of a GF return... but only for a short stint with Kin Shriner... ugh... Laura can't be with SCotty AGAIN.. she clearly chose Luke over him 2x!!

[@janetmyles8764]

If it would ever come out Scott killed Rick,she wouldn't ever want anything to do with him again!

[@2006bbbb1]

@@janetmyles8764 Well actually she did find that out and was going to marry Scotty anyway in 2013. Leslie jumped all over Scotty about killing her husband. And Laura blows it off telling her mother it was a misunderstanding. How is killing someone a misunderstanding exactly, I don't know?

[@izzatluv]

i read a rumor that if susan lucci doesnt move to LA, AMC might hire Genie She was on AMC before but not for long

[@ghfever4445]

Rick is a jerk. I don't like the way Laura told Luke "she doesn't want a confrontation" as if Luke is the one with the problem. Still love Laura though. :)

Let's face real truths the writers did not do there homeline story work! They helped kill GH for good. Next time read the FINE print maybe just maybe it would have turned out to be a great and better ending for us all. Thanks Rosie.

[@kathylanda681]

Yes we all should including the writers and Mr. Luke. Thank Rosie

[@karenoneal4660]

In my mind, Luke and Laura stay married and dedicated to one another, have children and grandchildren, and grow old together. I have seen a rare scene or two from the later years but I stopped watching after Laura disappeared. In fact that story was a bit far-fetched to me and I didn’t really watch it that closely. Long live Luke and Laura. 💙💗

[@lisah9709]

​@karenoneal4660 I agree and do the same, the story is only cannon through 1981.

Luke is not a cheater, he would break up first. He was written as honest. If his feelings changed enough that he wanted to be with someone else, he'd level with Laura.
