Who Ya Gonna Call?

Luke never would’ve laid eyes on his future bride, had scheming sister Bobbie not enlisted the scoundrel’s help to separate her crush Scotty from his significant other, Laura.
Luke never would’ve laid eyes on his future bride, had scheming sister Bobbie not enlisted the scoundrel’s help to separate her crush Scotty from his significant other, Laura.
The honeymoon ended quickly for Scotty and Laura, who found herself fascinated by streetwise Luke, her boss at the Campus Disco.
Thinking that he was a dead man walking, Luke acted on his attraction to Laura in the most awful possible way: He forced himself on the object of his obsession.
Despite Luke’s unthinkable act of violence, Laura couldn’t shake her feelings for him. By the time they’d prevented Mikkos Cassadine from freezing the world, they were madly in love.
On November 16, 1981, the wedding of Luke and Laura began. On the guest list: 30 million viewers, the biggest audience in soap history.
An unexpected — and unwanted — guest at the nuptials was Mikkos’ widow, Helena Cassadine (yes, that’s Elizabeth Taylor). While everyone else made toasts to the happy couple, she cursed them.
Despite the Helena-shaped shadow looming over them, Laura made an honest man of Luke. Well, as honest as he was ever gonna get.
The Spencers immediately got a taste of how tumultuous their married life would be when the bride’s bouquet was caught by none other than her bitter ex, Scotty.
In the decades that followed, Luke and Laura gave it a good shot. A lotta good shots, actually. But when Anthony Geary retired in 2015, their love story came to an end.
When Geary returned to General Hospital in 2017, it was only very briefly, so that as Jane Elliot left, they could reunite the Bickersons, Luke and Tracy Quartermaine.
Genie Francis’ Laura started over, too, with Kevin Collins, a husband who was far less rascally than Luke… but in his own way no less complicated.
