I agree and to see Tracy in that tribute, she had the emotion that she was Luke's one and only, that her and Luke had the greatest thing, but no not at all. Genie and Tony had chemistry like none other! It was Laura that Luke always kept in his heart. One thing that I was so unhappy about was that we haven't yet found out what was in that letter Lulu gave her marked "Angel" and Laura even made reference to it in the tribute. I wanna know!!

They had zero sexual chemistry where as Genie and Tony were electric from day one, They oozed chemistry. I like Jane Elliot now, She is a superb actress and glad she is on the show. I am close to Genie's age and I remember I thought Luke was so sexy and scenes with he and Genie were off the charts with chemistry. My mom and I were glued to the set and disappointed if Luke and Laura didn't have a scene together. I'm glad they showed them at Wyndham's department store. The beginning of Summer on the Run, Luke and Laura Forever!!!! Previous Message
They tried to memorialize him as best they could. Did you notice that they had no clips from Luke with other deceased characters/actors? Could there have been some contract issues? So many actors from that period are no longer with us. It must have been truly sad for the folks that did that work for Tony. I was particularly sad for Genie. She was so young, and this guy took her on the ride of a lifetime. What a brilliant actress she is, so amazingly in touch with her emotions.
I was thinking about why Luke and Tracy never worked for me. Jane Elliott is a remarkable actress, and she and tony were great friends in real life. However, the characters did not mesh, IMO. LNLwaas an inspiring love story. A back street guy falls head over heels in love with a girl who makes him better, more loving, opens his heart. Tracy was an arrogant, spoiled rich garland he wanted her money and a prestige. It's simply not a love story for the ages. Even if they connected personally, their story was degrading. Spanky would never be his angel. That, and the amazing chemistry between TG and GF. is the whole story. Previous Message
