HOT GALLERY: General Hospital’s Luke and Laura Celebrate Their 30th Anniversary; We Look at Who Else Checked into GH over the Years
In 1981, daytime soap operas were still big news, and Luke and Laura's wedding on General Hospital was the biggest of them. The fictional nuptials of Luke Spencer and Laura Baldwin made a bigger splash than Kim Kardashian's wedding and divorce combined. (Check out this page from People magazine in 1981 to see what we mean.) When we looked at the list of folks who who have appeared on GH over the years, we found some big names. Want to know who? Take a look. By Brett SingerLuke and Laura experienced many only-on-a-soap plots through the years (three words: Ice Princess saga). Both actors left the show and returned a few times, working on other projects along the way. (Here’s a fun appearance they did together on Roseanne in 1994). As of this writing, Anthony Geary still pops in as Luke Spencer on GH, while Genie Francis’s last visit was a few years ago; she has been playing Genevieve Atkinson on a different soap, The Young and the Restless. However, her character is currently catatonic, so fans shouldn’t rule out a return by Laura to General Hospital’s hallowed halls. Bonus video: watch the supercouple reflect on their supercoupleness in this interview with EmmyTVLegends.org.

BTW..Laura’s character came out of the coma a few years ago and moved to France with Scott Baldwin and Genie at that time additionally has lost weight [lousy ‘recent’ picture to use – bad editor, bad!]
