Luke and Laura ~ After the Terrible Night, Part 2 (Jessie comforts Laura)

Thanks to Sue for generously sharing these rare Luke and Laura scenes with us. We ask that you understand that the quality of the clips reflects the technology that was available in the late 1970s.

Laura remains in shock at General Hospital. In this classic scene, Nurse Jessie Brewer very gently and lovingly comforts Laura.

@sattnin68 This is surely an emotional and stellar scene. Nothing on GH like THIS today. Thanks for watching.

If they had DNA swap at that time... they would get Luke and arrest him. Oooohhhhh!

I think to understand all of this and LnL, you had to have watched Laura from the start. Laura had lied and gone through denial a lot before this. She conveniently forgotten she killed her lover, David Hamilton, and almost let her mother go to jail. She basically lived in denial. She had a strange relationship with Luke that developed over a long time but basically, even though he raped her, Luke was the only one who treated her like an adult. It's hard to understand, but there it is.

Have you ever sprained your ankle or anything else badly? Know how it swells, how the pain throbs? How only elevating it and putting cold compresses eases it? Now imagine you can't do that. Thank God for all the Jessie's in all the ER's throughout the world for being there when necessary.

@JenniferJanu I think Laura always knew the truth of what happened that night, but she understood Luke so well that she could forgive and eventually love him. Their relationship was SO MUCH MORE than that one night.

@CatchupGirl71 That was STUPID. I try to pretend certain re-writes never happened. lol. But, at the same time, it could be said that Laura was in denial later on and trying to re-write the past in her mind, convincing herself it wasn't a rape. I mean, if she admitted it, how could she explain why she still loved this guy? That's how I view it.

[1964nickel]

She was only 17 when she did this. I still think GF is the best.

Wow watching these powerful scenes it's amazing GH was able to backpeddle and call the rape a 'seduction'

@lakb45 Yeah, and It only took her 25 years later to win an Emmy. Idiots.
