A Medium Like No Other: Luke & Laura as Characters; Tony & Genie as Actors

Yesterday I watched the '79 clips of Luke & Laura and the credit card/law books storyline that leads up to the rape. Then I watched the sailboat seduction scene and the scene in '81 when Luke thinks Laura is entertaining someone, bangs on the door and they end up kissing before they hear on the radio that Diana Taylor has been murdered. What I have always, ALWAYS been in awe of is not only the real-time development of these characters, but how the actors developed their work together from 79 to 81 - they are in TOTAL SYNC. Just watch them when they start and stop kissing when the radio broadcasts news of Diana's murder. THEY ARE A REAL COUPLE. You never see the acting. You believe they are a couple in love. Add immense talent, off the charts chemistry, charisma and masterful storytelling, and you have material that holds up beautifully...forever. Heart Emoji goes here.
