Yeah, it's definitely not a popular view on this board, but I love most of the 90s Cassadine material. The stories were intriguing, engaging, and it definitely kept you rooting for L&L somehow to make it through. I just loved Spencer vs Cassadine stuff, in general. It's also arguably Laura's most complex time. I didn't always like her choices, but she's never been more layered. A flawed angel.
And before JJ and TC left the show, everyone in the story had so much chemistry.
One of the tragedies of Laura's exit is that Luke and Laura had finally reached, to quote something Luke said years later, "a near perfect place". There were no more secrets. Luke had accepted Nikolas. Lucky was back. Luke had successfully reminded Laura that she loved adventure just as much as he did. And she convinced him that they could have it all; domesticity, fun and excitement. In typical L&L fashion, the rug was pulled out from under them when they were their happiest.
