Thirty million people watched Luke and Laura get hitched in 1981, setting a record for the most-watched daytime drama ever. Even people who didn’t indulge in General Hospital daily (perhaps because they were at school or work) were aware of the wedding, which was big, big news. (Watch this interview with the actors on Good Morning America from way back when.) The television event is still associated with the hit song “Think of Laura” by Christopher Cross, despite the fact that the song has nothing to do with GH, according to Cross’s website.
