Luke Moments You Can’t Miss
Luke’s farewell from Port Charles in 2015 came after a long battle with D.I.D. and childhood trauma. When he decided to leave to discover who he was outside of Port Charles, the moment coincided with Geary’s retirement, only to return for one last scene in 2017 during Jane Elliot’s (Tracy) send-off.
Now, long-time GH fans have taken to X (formerly Twitter) to share some of their favorite Luke moments and scenes, starting with a clip from Luke’s first farewell episode in 1983 when he was about to travel the world with Laura (Genie Francis). This scene features Luke saying goodbye to his sister, Bobbie (the late Jackie Zeman).
One fan in the holiday spirit recalled a special moment between Luke and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) during their first Christmas when Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) was presumed dead in 1999.
One fan celebrated the 15th anniversary of Luke and Tracy’s 2010 wedding on December 22, while another shared what they called a “classic Luke and Robert (Tristan Rogers) scene,” featuring both late GH legends.
Of course, no trip down Luke Spencer memory lane would be complete without his most memorable GH moment: Luke and Laura’s wedding. Airing on November 16, 1981, 30 million viewers tuned in to watch the OG supercouple wed.
“Luke and Laura were not just a soap couple, they were brought out into the main stream media, even people who didn’t watch soaps knew who they were. It was a culture phenomenon, 30 million people watched their wedding. It’ll never be done again for a couple in daytime or primetime,” this fan stated, while another suggested, “ABC, why don’t you air Luke and Laura’s wedding on primetime? So many people have heard about it, they would tune in just to see it for themselves.”
