Where Were YOU 25 Years Ago Today…

Where were YOU 25 Years Ago Today...

That was the question poised to many a television viewer over the incessant press tour of General Hospital’s Luke & Laura.

Being in Orlando, they had Super Soap Weekend last week and, let me tell ya, out of respect for these greats, I didn’t gripe ONCE about the tourists – actually welcomed it. Luke & Laura were here in town and one must show the proper respect. They are, after all, one of Daytime’s Most Popular Couples.

25 years ago, I remember I was in 4th grade and home watching the marriage of Luke & Laura. I first got into GH when my babysitter would watch the show in 1st grade. I shocked my parents often when I would ask “Mom – why did Luke rape Laura?”. (That went over like a ton of bricks, let me tell ya).

I have it TiVo’d, but I rarely have time to watch a full episode. I normally fast forward to the storylines I want to see and have been intrigued by the whole Luke, Laura & Tracy Quartermaine triangle. Especially since Luke is married to Tracy and, now that Laura awakened from her coma, he has to marry her too. (Isn’t Anthony Geary Mormon or ex-mormon – he should be fully versed in plural marriage) (I KID I KID!) GH has so many complex characters from Sonny to Jax (who, btw, looks so much like my boy BR it’s a tad freaky) and then they have Dancing With The Stars alum, Kelly Monaco. GH gave breaks to such actors/artists as John Stamos, Demi Moore, Eva Longoria, Antonio Sabato, Jr., Vanessa Marcil and, even, Ricky “Shake Your Bon Bon” Martin (after Menudo before multi-platinum sensational success)…

Anywhoo… they’ve been doing so much press lately, and much like that other famous wedding of Princess Diana & Prince Charles, one must raise their glass and toast the everlasting soap couple – Luke & Laura…

GH just never ages….
