That Luke, Edward, Justus scene is great! And wow at when Bobby tells Laura about giving up her child for adoption. There is much more going on here! Laura is secretly relating to Bobby’s torment. This is chilling watching it now.
Luke tells Lulu the story, of princess Laura and the blacksmith, and i lose it every time. 😢 He is so sweet and vulnerable. He clearly adores his daughter. ❤ ❤❤
Maybe it's just because I grew up with her, but Genie was so damn beautiful it should've been against the law. Laura had it all. The best soap heroine of all time.
Read some of her prime time TV reviews. I was surprised how negative they were, focus on her weight, teeth and expressions especially with "Bare Essence". I watched and thought GF and Lee Grant the best. Genie was excellent, charismatic with energy. But, boring as heck on North&South. Strange that GF felt North&South her best prime time acting. I wonder how intelligent GF is and how JFrakes affected her talent?
@@ellyreginald6546 She was one of the very best when it came to crying REAL tears at the drop of a hat. Some actors cannot muster the actual tears but she always could and that impressed me and still does. She is also naturally pretty even when they don't make her up a lot like when she was in jail. She is very expressive via her eyes. Just an all round wonderful actress!
@@LisaHouserman I'm always amazed at how easily she can summon up tears so easily. And, yes, she is lovely. But from what I've read, she is just as lovely inside. She has a warm, gracious way about her that comes across onscreen. And she's truly a great actress! Those who judge her so harshly are simply not paying attention to her acting gifts. Yes, I'm a big fan!
Still watching! I swing by this playlist every once in a while, and refer folks to this one for a comprehensive 1996-1999 of LnL. Sussezq has a ton of good stuff, but this is best playlist of this time for LnL. I am annoyed about the 1st 53 minute clip - a lot happens in that segment that helps us understand what is going on with the rest of this playlist. There are others who have it, as long as YT hasn't banned it. But, if you are able to re-post, and you want to take the time, I recommend doing it! Thanks.
Love it. Early Stefan/Nick Cassadine writing and atmosphere was brilliant. Someone on staff obviously loved gothic literature cause I see lots of Bronte-type atmosphere meticulously crafted so different from the L&L tone. Shame it was all needed though. Really a shame.
At about 31:48 - you can tell Laura's made a decision here. Just sometimes watching Genie Francis' face gives you even more of the story than you could get from listening to everybody else (sounds freaky, but it's true).
Empathy was never really one of Luke's strong suits. Luke's ego wouldn't let him get past the fact that not only didn't Laura tell him but also that it involved the Cassadines.
In the 70s, Luke would say in his deep smooth voice to Laura & other characters “I understand”, or “I think I understand “. I always wondered if he really understood given his history & questionable ethics. Hummm...
@ sometimes it kicks back in. I’ve noticed, if the show gets interrupted with a commercial, that’s when the voice and lips don’t match. 🤷🏻♀️ When that happens, I just listen
Why did they retcon Luke and Laura history by Saying Luke never love having a family was holding them back he miss having a adventure n being free not tide down 🤦🏿♂️
I think it would have been kinda cool if Carly ended up being a match. Maybe they could have brought Nicholas on in some other way. Just a thought but clearly I'm living in an alternative reality LOL PS I just t hought of how maybe Nicholas could have been introduced if Carly was indeed the match. Perhaps Laura could have had no memory of having the child as the Cassadines are known for brainwashing people, etc. Cassadines could have told Nicholas that Laura ditched him and didn't want him, etc., and then eventually Laura learns the truth when Nicholas comes looking for her in Port Charles!
Or even better, having Laura think Nikolas died at birth w/Helena obviously hiding his revival. Either way, Laura not knowing and thus not keeping this huge secret from her husband would've maybe not ended up destroying L&L as much as her knowing and keeping it a secret did. It also would've not made Laura seem like a horrible mother by leaving her infant son behind. Seriously, so many other ways to go with this Cassadine/Nik storyline that didn't devastate the Spencer family as much as it did, but maybe that's what GH wanted all along w/this particular story.
@@moni_vette hey I like your idea a lot. I'm amazed I got notified of this this has been years I think since I left this comment. Thanks for responding
I know but I loved helena so much & without bringing on the cassadines we wouldnt have gotten some cool new characters like alexis Stefan Nicklos & the queen helena.
Let me know when you're close to finishing the ones I've put up so I can put more up. I'll try to post more everyday. I bought all the Luke and Laura dvds up until 1999 so there is plenty more to come.
Love this . At the time.i had two jobs never got to see any shows
Thank you.Doreen ❤
GF is such and incredible actress, she continues to awe me with her talent,
I've never seen this s/l. Thank you for posting these!!!

Thank you for uploading this storyline. I don't think I saw every episode back in the day. I know it's a lot of work and I appreciate it.
Thank you SO much for posting these!!

Just wanted to say thank you for uploading these! I really appreciate the time and effort you put into it. I am excited about watching these videos.
You’re welcome.
I miss the Wards and Justice so much. I miss the og Quartermaines. Heck, I miss this GH 😭. Thank I’m you for sharing.

Who else has that first clip? I can't seem to find the one where Lulu is first brought to the hospital.
@@ashleycampbell2804 Me either
love this!!! thank you!!
Oh my gosh the convo with Bobbie and Laura is heartbreaking knowing about Nikolas
49:00 Ah yes, the beginning of that moody mysterious Cassadine music! 🤩
Love it. Early Stefan/Nick Cassadine writing and atmosphere was brilliant. Someone on staff obviously loved gothic literature cause I see lots of Bronte-type atmosphere meticulously crafted so different from the L&L tone. Shame it was all needed though. Really a shame.
So much here ... And Sonny looking for the future mother of his children, and not even realizing it 😆
At about 31:48 - you can tell Laura's made a decision here. Just sometimes watching Genie Francis' face gives you even more of the story than you could get from listening to everybody else (sounds freaky, but it's true).
Uh, I’d say
Luke is pretty pissed... And Laura is absolutely beautiful here.
My boy Luke
Hello... Well, no spoiler alerts! Yes, it’s her!
Comeon Laura. Tell the truth now. You've lied for 12 years. Tell Luke you have vampire for a son from Cassadine Island.
Laura was terrified of what would happen to her family.The only time she tried to see Nicholas . Helena had her mother ran off the road and killed.
Yikes at the evil eye Luke is giving Justus.
Another great GH character bites the dust. L&L had a wonderful friendship with Justice his grandmother Mae Mae. Very sad💧
@@judithjerde1574 I hate the way this storyline ruined Justus' character and his friendship with the Spencers.
Wow. I had just started watching GH and didn't realize...Carly being a match - for her niece who turned into a mini Carly lolol
\
U’d think Luke could understand Laura situation better knowing what Bobbie went through having a baby & giving her up.
Empathy was never really one of Luke's strong suits. Luke's ego wouldn't let him get past the fact that not only didn't Laura tell him but also that it involved the Cassadines.
In the 70s, Luke would say in his deep smooth voice to Laura & other characters “I understand”, or “I think I understand “. I always wondered if he really understood given his history & questionable ethics. Hummm...
Luke did understand after he realized why she kept it to herself.
Words are out of sync with film
Same here
Yep
So , if either one of you found a solution please let me know. I would very much appreciate it
Yeah,😮But Why? Does Anybody Know? Can Anybody tell Us?🤷🤷. Why is the Audio Out of Syn
@ sometimes it kicks back in. I’ve noticed, if the show gets interrupted with a commercial, that’s when the voice and lips don’t match. 🤷🏻♀️ When that happens, I just listen
Why did they retcon Luke and Laura history by Saying Luke never love having a family was holding them back he miss having a adventure n being free not tide down 🤦🏿♂️
Yeah I hate that rewrite!!
It wasn't a retcon, Luke said from the beginning of their marriage that he didn't want to settle down.
Luke didn’t know about Caroline then?
Somehow my audio/visual is out of sync. Any ideas?
Why isn’t the voice in sync with their mouths?

This is when the downfall of the Spencer family happened. I never liked the way the Cassadines were brought in. Ruined the family as we knew them.
Diane Ottesen I felt the complete opposite. This show was so bland and corny before the Cassadines!
And the Spencer’s are still front and center
You think everything can be happy and intact forever? You don't understand what soap operas are.
I know but I loved helena so much & without bringing on the cassadines we wouldnt have gotten some cool new characters like alexis Stefan Nicklos & the queen helena.
What is wrong with justice??
is there a part 4?
There is a part 4. I haven't posted it because it didn't seem like anybody was really watching them. If you want me to I'll post it on Tuesday.
yes!!!! I'm watching them...there are fans out there of this time period for GH. Thank you soooo much.
More of them should be uploaded now. Let me know if the order of them don't seem right. I'm sorry it took so long. My computer has been acting up.
Let me know when you're close to finishing the ones I've put up so I can put more up. I'll try to post more everyday. I bought all the Luke and Laura dvds up until 1999 so there is plenty more to come.
You are awesome!
GF looks great and in her thin stage, so WHY are they giving her in these huge, what I call, dresses for heavier people? She's floating in them.
