[edit] Really more of a Twin Peaks kinda song

Shouldn't some mention be made of Christopher Cross' "Think of Laura"? It wasn't intended as a tie-in to the Luke-and-Laura phenomenon, but the fact that it was largely perceived that way is worth noting, at least as a measure of the popularity of the couple even beyond typical soap-opera audiences.

[edit] Removal of History Section

Due to lack of citations/references. Feel free to readd once it is referenced Corpx 03:46, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Luke's rape of Laura and the intro

When I read the previous version of the intro I found the comment about the critical reaction to the compelling of rapist with his rape victim to come out of left field. It seemed as if possibly if the author had forgotten that not every reader would know about the rape so I added sentence mentioning it to the first paragraph. I feel the intro could still use some work though. --

[edit] Suggest splitting the articles

Though it's definitely worth having a "Luke and Laura" relationship page, I think it's also worth having separate pages on each of them, since Luke's storyline has been substantially diverging from Laura's over the last year. For example, if Luke's character is involved in a storyline with Tracey Quartermaine or Anna Devane, it doesn't seem to make sense to link to "Luke and Laura" everytime Luke's name comes up. What do other people think? --Elonka 22:53, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I was just thinking about this again, since every other character has their own, and with Laura being catatonic and Genie Francis rumors of return slowly dwindling it may make sense. Especially with Luke being married to Tracy now. DJ-Siren 20:59, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recommending page move

Per WP:NAME, an article should be named by what the general public most commonly recognizes. For this particular subject, that should be Luke and Laura. Do other editors agree? --Elonka 00:06, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

• Yes, and the words "Luke and Laura" are also quicker to type. Flyer22 02:09, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

I came back to this section to state that I now disagree with moving this article. Flyer22 (talk) 10:55, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nikolas' and Lucky's birth years (revised)

If Luke and Laura got married in November 1981, and Laura disappeared in early 1982, Nikolas would have to have been born in the fall of 1982. If, according to his character page, he was born in 1981, Nikolas would have been born before Luke & Laura wed. Luke & Laura reunited near the end of 1983. Lucky could have been born in the fall of 1984. When they aged Lucky (as stated on his character page), they should have changed his year of birth from 1985 to 1984 instead of to 1982. - NBK1122 (talk) 01:27, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
