In honor of Luke & Laura's 25th Anniversary Celebration, I created a very special 12 hour (three dvd) compliation of 14 original GH episodes, includes all four of the Luke & Laura 25th Anniversary Celebration Marathon episodes, Soapnet's Top 25 L&L Clips that have been aired during the month of November (I actually got 23 of them), L&L Promos, T&G's appearence on the View, Soapnet's L&L Special "Luke & Laura Love Story Revealed" and edited portions of features on L&L from Soapnet's Unforgettable Wedding Special, and an abc primetime special "Unforgettable Love Stories" also edited to L&L. I have an expanded list below. All of this is edited with no commercials.

The four of the episodes that aired during the L&L 25th anniversary include Wyndham's, Walls of Jericho, two wedding epis. I then used an 7 additional episodes that had aried during a previous  Luke & Laura Through The Years Marathon.  I also had an additional Soapnet marathon episode from the Soapnet Unforgettable Weddings and added that, and I included an additional honeymoon episode to complete the wedding, reception and honeymoon coverage. I also added Luke & Laura's 15th Wedding Anniversary episode. This was not a marathon episode but the entire show was devoted to the L&L storyline and showed clips and flashbacks. The additional L&L marathon episodes also include Laura getting a job at Luke's disco,  the rape, Luke seeing Laura at the mayor's mansion when she returned from the dead, and Laura telling Luke that she is pregnant, and the divorce episode.

If after watching these marathon episodes you find you would like to see more of the storyline, I have a series of good quality L&L edits covering the Left Handed Boy storyline (on L&L #4-6), and the Ice Princess storyline (#7-11), up through L&L's wedding (L&L #12), Laura's departure and the aftermath of her disappearence (L&L #13). I continued the edits with the Luke & Robert involvement with the David Grey storyline and museum caper (Luke & Robert #14 & #15), Oil Scam and Holly's arrival through the amusement park hide out and the Vancouver rescue on the Luke & Robert & Holly 1982 #16-19. I also have all of Luke becoming mayor in 1983, the Prometheus Disk storyline, leading up to Laura's return in late fall 1983. I have also done a Mexico Adventure with all of Luke & Laura's 19984 return and all of Robert, Holly, and Sean's scenes during that storyline.  I also have L&L's 1993-1994 return and edits of the Cassidine vs. Spencer storyline from 1996-99. L&L's 2001 reunion, Laura's 2002 breakdown and departure through her 2006 return and L&L's remarriage is coming soon. I have made notes on each marathon episode on which edit you can find that particular time frame and storyline.

For anyone who would rather see the complete storyline but still wants all of the clips, specials, and promos...I have created a separate edit with just the clips and special portion (no GH scenes added). See that listing separately.

Expanded Descriptions

Luke & Laura Marathon DVD #1 - 3:59
1.  Laura Applies for a job at the disco  Original ABC Airdate: 8/24/79 - Richard Simmons conducts an exercise class including Laura, Amy, Claudia, and Bobbie at the disco. Scotty and Brian joke about the class, and Richard takes offense. In Luke's office, Roy informs Luke that the official word is that his cousin committed suicide. Roy vows that someone is going to pay for it, but Luke insists that they get proof before they take any action. Laura overhears one of the girls in her class mention that she just got a job with the disco and decides to talk to Luke about a job for herself. She goes directly to Luke's office and convinces him that she could be a good waitress, even though she is underage and cannot serve drinks. Meanwhile, Roy tells Bobbie that he might not see her for a day or two, and she kisses him and asks him to be careful. Tracy visits Edward at the hospital and Edward advises her to bring Ned back home and act like a real mother for him. When Edward inquires about Monica, Tracy is honest with him and tells him that Monica had a bad fall. Edward expresses his concern for Monica's baby, who he was hoping would carry on the Quartermaine name, just as Rick enters his hospital room. Mitch tells Susan that he has deep feelings for her and that he is very sorry for what he did to her. He takes her hand and insists that he is not married yet just as Tracy enters the restaurant and sees them. Laura and Amy have lunch at the hospital cafeteria, and Laura tells Amy how excited she is to tell Scotty her big news about her new job. Amy tells Laura how jealous she is that Laura will get to see Luke Spencer every day, and Laura gets very serious. Laura warns Amy that she should stay away from Luke, noting the strange characters that Luke hangs around. Laura is distracted with the news of Monica's fall. After she checks with Rick to find out Monica's status, she returns to the cafeteria and finds Amy with Scotty. She tells Scotty about her new job, and Scotty is less than enthused. Later, Amy tells Rick about Laura's new job, and Rick looks concerned. Back at their apartment, Scotty tells Laura that the disco is not the type of place where he wants his wife working. (also on L&L #1)

2.  Luke's Obsession goes to far Original ABC Airdate: 10/5/79 - A very concerned Laura calls Brian from the disco looking for Scotty. It's after two in the morning, and Scotty never picked her up. Brian offers to pick Laura up, but Laura insists that she wants to wait for Scotty. Meanwhile, Scotty sits with Zelda at a diner and discusses business. Rick and Lesley are kissing in bed when they are interrupted by a call from Howard. Rick states his relief at the dismissal, but Howard notes that Rick and Monica's depositions are now public record, which includes their testimony about sleeping together. As Laura waits alone in the disco, Luke stumbles in drunk. Laura watches him sit down at the bar where he begins crying. When he sees Laura, he tells her to go home. She tries instead to console Luke, telling him that she has seen better days herself. Laura tells Luke that she thinks her marriage is over, because she lied to Scotty about using her credit card to pay for his law books. At the diner, Scotty talks to Zelda about his fight with Laura. He notes that he should apologize to Laura. As they talk, Scotty realizes how late it is and decides he'd better get home. Luke informs Laura that he found out tonight that within a month he'll be dead. Joe Kelly and Anne Logan sit in his car after their date, and Anne gives Joe a hard time about being so mysterious. When their discussion later turns into an argument, Joe calms her by telling her that he loves her. Mitch Williams arrives at Susan Moore's upset, advising her that there is a contract on his life. He tells Susan that she is the only person he can trust in the whole town. Later, after they make love, Mitch apologizes to Susan for having ever hurting her. At the disco, Laura insists that she wants to help Luke, and he continues to try to get her to leave. Luke balks at Laura's innocence, and she assures him that she knows that he cares about her. Luke responds that he is in love with her, and that he can't concentrate on anything else. Luke gets more and more agitated as he tells her that knowing she sleeps with Scotty every night is driving him crazy. Laura insists that her life with Scotty is all that she wants right now. She tells Luke that she and Scotty are his friends and that they can help him. He begs Laura to dance with him, and she hesitatingly agrees. As they dance, Laura tells Luke that he's frightening her and insists that she needs to go. Things spin out of control as Luke holds her tight and begins kissing her. Meanwhile, Scotty arrives home and is interrupted by a call from Lesley. After he gets off the phone, he realizes that Laura is not home. He calls Brian, who informs him that Laura called him from the disco earlier, where she was waiting for Scotty. Scotty calls the disco, but no one answers. He calls Rick and Lesley, and then various hospital emergency rooms. Luke stands over Laura where she is laying on the floor. Her shirt is torn and as Luke moves toward the ringing phone, she stands and leaves. Luke answers the phone and tells Scotty that Laura isn't there. Luke stares at Laura's jacket on the floor as he comes to the startling realization of what he's done. Laura runs through the woods frantically and ends up by the fountain, falling to the ground crying. She turns and screams as she sees someone standing over her. (Also on the L&L #1)

3.  The Wedding of Luke & Jennifer Smith Original ABC Airdate: 7/11/80 - Susan glances nervously at Mitch as Frank Smith tells Susan that he hopes to make Susan his fiancĂ© soon. Outside at the marina, Brian, Claudia, Amy, and Richard Simmons decorate Luke's car with a "just married" sign and paraphernalia. Meanwhile, Scotty reads a letter from Laura to Luke, becoming more and more enraged as he realizes that Luke is the person that raped Laura. When Laura enters the room, Scotty turns on her, accusing her of having an affair with Luke. Laura denies it, asking for a chance to tell him the truth. As Luke's friends arrive at the yacht, Luke gives them all a tour. Frank informs Jennifer that he and Luke are going to sign a contract to be business partners prior to the wedding. Jennifer is ecstatic and asks Susan to help her get dressed. Laura tries to explain everything to Scotty, telling him that things got out of control, and she couldn't stop it. Scotty tells her it is just like her affair with David Hamilton, and calls her a tramp. He throws her down and tells her that she won't have Luke, because he is going to kill him. He runs out of the apartment, leaving Laura on the floor crying. Jeff visits Anne, and assures her how much he loves her. He explains that all he wants is for Heather to get well so that he can get a divorce and be with Anne. Laura tries to call Luke to warn him about Scotty, but no one is home. Meanwhile, Scotty is outside Luke's apartment, and he breaks down the door. When he realizes Luke is not home, he runs out. Frank meets with Luke and assumes that Luke is pleased with the contract that he offered. Luke tells Frank that he wants away from all mob ties. He adds that he looks at Frank and sees what he could become in a few years, and he hates it. He threatens Frank that he knows about the left-handed boy, and shows him his copies of Frank's little black book. Meanwhile, guests begin to arrive for the wedding. Frank excuses himself, warning Luke that he has a threat against him that outweighs anything Luke has on Frank. Scotty arrives at the yacht and tears past the guests as he looks for Luke. When he finds him, he attacks him. Luke gets away for a moment, but jumps back down to the deck where Scotty is standing to continue the fight. The fight grows until Scotty punches Luke over the side of the yacht. (Also on the L&L #4)

4.  Dancing at Wyndham's Original ABC Airdate: 8/6/80 - Alan tells Monica that he expects her to be at the fundraiser, and she assures him that she will not be there. After Monica leaves the room with baby A.J., Alan and Rick argue. Both men insist that he is A.J.'s father. Meanwhile, Luke and Laura are at Wyndham's. Luke proposes a very fancy evening for the two of them, including fabulous clothes and a gourmet meal. When they run into a storage room to hide from the night watchman, Luke discovers mannequins donning the perfect tuxedo and evening gown. The couple does not realize that a stranger is lurking in the same storage room. Lesley has dinner with Howard at the Floating Rib, but she cannot concentrate on much of anything but Laura. Lesley worries that her marriage problems with Rick must have been a bad example for Laura. Rick and Monica dream about their future together, including working side by side at the Waterfront Clinic. At the Quartermaine mansion, Alan vows to Edward that his plans for the fundraiser dinner will get Monica back home. The Hardy's have dinner with Dr. Tony Perelli, and run into Lesley and Howard at the restaurant. Dr. Perelli takes an immediate interest in Lesley. Steve Hardy is interrupted by a call from Edward Quartermaine, who informs him that Frank Smith rescinded his offer to donate a wing to General Hospital because of the situation with his daughter. At Wyndham's, Luke is dressed in top hat and tails, and Laura is dressed in a fuchsia evening gown. The couple dance through the aisles of the department store. Luke takes Laura to where he has a table fully dressed and set with china, and the two share a champagne toast. Laura exclaims that she feels like Cinderella, and as if they are the only two people in the world. Later, Rick mentions to Monica that he sees no resemblance of him in A.J. Rick seems unconcerned, but Monica is obviously nervous about the conversation. When Jeff mentions that he needs to discuss Heather with Howard, Tony Perelli takes the opportunity to talk to Lesley. He is very direct with her, wasting no time in asking her to dinner. Luke and Laura continue dancing, and he picks her up and carries her to a bed in the furniture department. Much to Luke's dismay, Laura drifts off to sleep just as the couple is in the midst of a passionate kiss. The stranger from the storage room watches over the sleeping couple, gun in hand. (Scenes also on the L&L #4)

5.  The Walls of Jericho come down Original ABC Airdate: 10/20/80 - Rick consults with Steve Hardy and tells him that Monica is having a hard time accepting that she will not be working with him. Steve asks if she should be reassigned, and Rick confirms that it would be a good idea. Alan confronts Monica and asks if Rick is finally going to back off. He demands that she act like Mrs. Alan Quartermaine when she is in public, regardless of what her true feelings are. Meanwhile, Luke and Laura arrive at the Whitaker farm. They explain the truth about their identities, but the Whitakers already know. Mr. Whitaker tells Luke and Laura how disappointing it was to find out that Hutch was really a hired killer. Luke informs them that he mailed the little black book to Joe Kelly in Port Charles, and that they would wait now to see when it would be safe to return home. Later, Luke calls Joe and agrees to lay low at the Whitaker farm for the next 24 hours. Luke and Laura dance around the Whitaker kitchen as they realize how close they are to returning to a normal life. Meanwhile, the thought-to-be dead Hutch appears in a phone booth, and calls Frank Smith. He assures his boss that he will get the black book and finish off the job of killing Luke and Laura. At the Quartermaine mansion, Edward enjoys his new mummy case, courtesy of his niece Alex. He tells the housekeeper how excited he is about Alex's upcoming visit, assured that she will add spice and excitement to the Quartemaine's lives. At the farm, Luke teases Laura about being torn between Lucy Johnson and Laura. Luke asks Laura if she is ready to take off her wedding band, telling her that he cannot beg her. He explains that he cannot wait any longer, and she assures him that she loves him more than any man she has ever loved. Finally, Luke leaves Laura in the bedroom and tells her to take her time there alone to decide what she wants, and to let him know. Later, Luke talks with the Whitakers in their kitchen while Mrs. Whitaker prepares dinner. As Luke tells Mrs. Whitaker about how much he loves Laura, Laura enters the kitchen. Laura takes some silverware from Mrs. Whitaker's hand and holds it out for Luke, showing him that there is no longer a wedding band on her finger. Luke is so ecstatic that he grabs Mrs. Whitaker and dances with her around the kitchen. Back in Port Charles, Brian and Gail talk about their concern for how Scotty is handling things. Gail notes that she is especially concerned about what will happen when Laura returns to Port Charles. Later, when Luke comes out of the bathroom in his robe, the wall of Jerico is back up. Laura flirtatiously tells him that someone must have put it up so that someone else could take it down. After taking down the blanket and joining Laura on the bed, Luke kisses her slowly. He savors each kiss, telling her that they have all night and they are going to need it. Later, as they lay in each other's arms, Hutch enters the Whitaker barn and hides. Hutch overhears Mr. Whitaker when he comes in to check the barn and tells the animals that Lloyd Johnson is back, and will visit them first thing in the morning. (also on L&L #6)

11.  Luke Sees Laura return from the dead - at the mayor's mansion after his inauguration, original ABC Airdate: 11/24/83 Holly arrives at Luke's to help him get ready for his inauguration. Meanwhile, Laura enters her old apartment, and opens the Port Charles Herald. Luke's picture is on the front page with the headline "Spencer to be Sworn-in as Mayor Today." A mysterious man places a call to Mr. Cassadine, telling him that he thinks he has located his wife and that he has his word that she will be on her way back to him tonight. Laura stares at the newspaper, saying that at least she will get to see Luke for just a little while. She is alarmed when she hears voices outside the apartment. Meanwhile, Holly tells Luke how happy she is that he and Robert are friends again. Luke tells Holly that he has a strange feeling that something is about to happen, but Holly laughs it off as an expected feeling on his inauguration day. Tiffany arrives to lend an extra hand, and the ladies escort Luke downstairs, where Blackie is waiting for them. The Cassadine henchman looks through Laura's empty apartment as Laura makes a quick getaway. Later, she peeks through the door of the city council office as Luke is sworn in. As soon as she steps away into the ladies room, the henchman turns the corner and sees her. He is blocked from approaching her by Luke's family and friends as they come out of the city council office. After the group exits, the henchman is approached by the police captain because the henchman's car was involved in an accident. They force him to join them to straighten out the situation with the accident. Laura is once again able to make a clean get away. As Luke enjoys his inauguration reception, Laura stands outside the mansion and watches the guests enter. The mansion brings back memories of Luke and Laura's wedding for Tiffany and Claudia. When Laura ducks into the back yard after one of the staff sees her, she is also inundated with memories of her wedding day. Midway through the party, Ruby and Brock tell Luke that Bobbie is in the hospital with an infection. Luke quickly makes an announcement that his guests should continue to enjoy the party while he leaves to go visit his sister in the hospital. Laura overhears one of the staff tell the party guests that Luke left to visit his sister. At the hospital, Luke is devastated to learn that Bobbie needs a hysterectomy. Luke visits Bobbie, and they reminisce about both their good and bad times. Luke confides to Bobbie how hard it is to be in the mansion with the many memories it holds for him. Later, Luke arrives back at the mansion where the party has ended, and is instantly filled with thoughts of Laura. As Laura strolls around the back yard, an unknowing Luke goes inside the mansion and heads to his room to have one last glass of champagne. He walks out onto the balcony outside his room, and once again is filled with memories of he and Laura dancing on their wedding day. As he pours himself more champagne, he sees Laura from the back as she walks across the yard. He runs downstairs just as Laura catches a glimpse of the henchman staring at her from across the yard. Luke runs out to the yard and screams Laura's name. She pauses, and then runs into Luke's arms, as Luke cries and holds her tight. (on KC 1983 #7)

12.  Laura tells Luke she is pregnant, Original ABC Airdate: 12/7/84 - Bobbie tells Brock that she wants to talk, but he warns her that the subjects of Rick, Ruby and Luke are all off limits. Meanwhile, Luke, Robert, Holly and Sean arrive at Felicia's grandmother's ranch in Texas. Her grandmother, Maria, thanks all of them for returning Felicia home safely to her and for getting the statue back for her. Maria tells Luke that Laura is upstairs waiting for him. Laura is upstairs in the bedroom and hears the voices downstairs. She quickly hides the red fire engine that she was holding. Laura tears into Luke when he enters, demanding to know exactly what he has been doing. When Laura finds out that Holly got to go to Mexico, she is furious and begins pummeling Luke with a pillow. Celia tells Grant that she has to finish her mural, and Grant asks her to keep her fingers crossed that their bank loan goes through so that he can finish his surgeon's center. At the ranch, Sean, Holly, Robert, Frisco, Felicia and her grandmother talk about how glad they are to be safe and back in the states. Felicia talks to her grandmother about her hopes for the family treasure, but her grandmother discourages her and tells her that the stories about the treasure are all myth. Sean agrees that he doesn't believe in the treasure, but Holly insists that it would be worth looking for if there is any chance at all that it exists. After Brock leaves home in a huff, Terry questions Bobbie about their argument. Bobbie regrets ever marrying Brock. As Luke and Laura lay in bed, Laura continues to question Luke about his adventure. Laura insists that she was in just as much danger without him, having to fight off Jack Slater. As they talk, Luke finds the red fire engine in the bed. Luke questions why it is there, and Laura reminds him about the fire engine he told her he had when he was a little boy. Laura has to push the subject since Luke is more interested in making love than discussing the fire engine. When she tells him that Lucas, Jr. will love the fire engine, Luke finally comes to the realization of what she is hinting at - she's pregnant! Later, Luke goes through various boy names, but Laura insists that Lucas, Jr. is the perfect name. Luke tells Laura that if he ever did anything right in his whole life, it was marrying her. Luke is suddenly overcome with the need to share the big news, so they call Ruby. After they get off of the phone, Luke runs out to the hallway and shouts to the rest of the gang that the Spencer's are going to have a baby. Meanwhile, Bobbie's talk with Terry is interrupted by a call from Ruby. Bobbie rushes over to Ruby's to share in the good news. In Texas, Maria decides that they need to have a big party to celebrate Luke and Laura's news as well as the return of her treasure and her granddaughter. Jimmy Lee visits Celia on the docks where she is working on her mural. Celia informs Jimmy Lee that the Quartermaine's have cut her off completely, leaving her and Grant pressed financially. The party is in full motion at the ranch, and Sean proposes that everyone come back to Mexico with him for an extended vacation. Luke and Laura take a pass, but everyone else readily agrees. Celia is furious when she returns home and thinks Grant hocked her mink coat for loan collateral. She is embarrassed when Grant looks in the closet and shows her that the mink is still there. Robert, Sean and Luke toast each other in honor of meeting again soon. Felicia gives Frisco a brief kiss, assuring him that she will show him around the grounds of the ranch tomorrow.

13.  Luke & Laura's 15th Wedding Anniversary Episode, original airdate 11/15/96 - This was not a soapnet marathon episode but from my collection of original GH episodes. This entire episode celebrated Luke and Laura's15th Wedding Anniversary. Laura received a package in the mail at the beginning of the day, and opened it to find a jewelry box with a paper cigar band in it. She thought back to Luke slipping a cigar band on her finger many years ago. The couple continued to create the charade that they were fighting, but they were actually very happily prepared to celebrate their anniversary. As Mike and Lucky expressed concern that Luke and Laura were not together, the couple kept their plans for a romantic evening secret. Finally, when Lucky gave Luke an  anniversary card, Luke assured him that it was okay, that he and Laura had plans for the evening. Lucky later agreed to watch Lulu,so that Laura could go on her date. Meanwhile, Luke had trouble getting his car to start, so he  pretended to be a valet and took a  customer's car, promising Mike that he would return it by midnight. The couple ran into many obstacles getting to their date, but they finally ended up together. They set up a picnic with candles and flowers, and they discussed how lucky they were to have each other and their children. As they began to dance, we saw them dancing through the years... through the aisle at Wyndham's Department Store, waltzing at their wedding, and dancing at the Triple L Diner. (also on Cassidine vs. Spencer #3)

14.  The Divorce, Original ABC Airdate: 6/18/01 - Gia is stunned to see Nikolas and Liz in the same shower together. She demands to know what is going on and isn't satisfied with their explanation that it was a mistake. She calls Lucky in who believes them. Gia pretends to make peace, but draws Liz a cold shower as retribution. Mac and Felicia kiss, then gently pulled away from each other. They mutually realize that there is no fire left between them and decide it is time to end their marriage for good. Mac sadly tells Maxie and Georgie that he and Felicia are finished, but he tells them that he will always be their father. He kisses them goodbye, hugs Felicia and leaves. After calling Luke, who doesn't have time to talk to her, Felicia is ready to swear off men for good. She later stands by the window and cries over the state of her relationships. Scott waits for Laura at the PC Grille, but she never shows up. Mac comes in after leaving Felicia and the two men commiserate over the sorry state of their lives. Both realize that Luke is at the crux of their problems with their women and try to figure out the man's strange appeal. Mac wishes Scott luck in winning Laura back, but Scott says he doesn't need it. Mac sits outside in the rain and cries as he realizes his marriage truly is over. Luke stalls on signing the property settlement papers when he realizes that signing them will signify the end of the Luke and Laura era. They both reflect on how they arrived to a point where they are ending their lives together. Laura assures Luke that she has had a wonderful time on the road with him, but it has never been enough. She always wanted to come home to Port Charles. Luke understands and marvels that they had made a go of it for as long as they did. Laura tells him that she will always be proud that he was her husband. Luke tells her that he no longer sees a little girl when he looks at her. Instead, he sees a magnificent woman. She declares that he taught her all the magnificence she knows. Knowing that they will always be connected through their children and that a divorce can't erase the memories, Luke agrees to sign the papers. Laura cries as he signs them and hands them to her.
