Luke and Laura Get Married Source |
Spotlight: Where were you when Luke and Laura got married? Were you one of the 30 million viewers who watched General Hospital's hottest couple tie the knot on Nov. 16, 1981? The episode still holds the record as the highest rated hour in daytime TV history. Anthony Geary and Genie Francis played the popular pair on and off over the years, with the latest reunion taking place last year, when Laura had a temporary revival from a catatonic state and the two celebrated their 25th anniversary with a second wedding.
Quote:
"I have never, ever had an acting partnership that was as safe, as full and as exciting as the one I had with Tony."
