Additional Comments: I haven't watched in a very long time, but is Genie Francis still on the show? If so, is Laura still married to Luke?

Message: It was a real shame that TPTB (Corp) teased everyone (cast, crew & the audience) w/GF's return. Everyone thought this was going to be a longterm return, but it was not to be.
What bothered me about the reference last week to Laura's breakdown was the blame placed on Luke. Laura lived a very emotionally chaotic life long before Luke came into her life!
She found out that the family she had always known wasn't her family, got taken from them & was forced to live w/a step-father (Cam Faulkner) who didn't want her around.
She was manipulated & seduced into a relationship w/David Hamilton, whom she later killed. Lesley took the blame for David's death, for quite awhile.
Laura got involved w/Scotty when she was still emotionally fragile & married him, which was a mistake. Then she met Luke, was raped, THEN the mob life became her's.
She was terrorized, kidnapped & terrorized again, by Helena Cassadine for yrs. She found out that Stafan (the one Cassadine she trusted) kept her mother drugged & hidden for the better part of 20 yrs.
Luke & Laura were on the run for over 10 yrs. They had their diner bombed & were back on the run again. Laura later killed one (or was it two men) who came to her house to kill (if memory serves) the Spencers.
Her life w/Luke contributed to it, but IMO, Laura would have had a breakdown whether Luke had been part of her life or not. I'm surprised it didn't happen earlier!

Laura isn't on the show anymore. She's in a catatonic state in a mental institution.
Luke and Laura are no longer married. Laura had a brief recovery about a year ago, during which time Luke faked a remarriage ceremony to make her happy. But unbeknownst to Laura, he was married to Tracy Quartermaine at the time, and he still is.
They have two kids -- Lucky and Lulu. Laura also has a third son, Nik, from the time when Stavros Cassadine raped her while holding her in captivity.
