Summer 1992 Soap Opera Digest Special - Super Couples Special

Among the GH couples that were featured: Luke & Laura, Robert & Holly, Frisco & Felicia, Duke & Anna and Robert & Anna. Also, both Genie Francis and Emma Samms were interviewed at length on what it was like to be "part of a supercouple". Emma Samms: "Being called a supercouple was very flattering".

So, SOD acknowledged R&A as being one of GH super couple? Cool, I always thought they were anyway contrary to others belief.

John Stamos would consider a return to GH.

ABSOLUTELY cameo from jail RT @FrankStrovel If GH ends its run next year would you consider a quick re-visit of Blackie Parrish?

Summer 1992 SOD Supercouples Special

“What’s it really like to be part of a supercouple?”

Emma Samms –

“Ours was an amazing story; GH did not plan on putting Holly with Robert. When Luke came back from the dead, Holly was expected to return to him. But because the chemistry was so good between Tristan and me, according to the audience, they decided to keep me with him. I wasn’t aware of supercouples. All I knew was that I loved working with Tristan. I think I really knew we were part of a supercouple, when on Robert and Holly’s wedding anniversary, we received more than 50 bouquets of flowers.

Being called a supercouple was very flattering. It meant that the relationship that Tristan and I portrayed was believable and popular. That was because of the wonderful familiarity we felt and that the audience observed. It was very real, and of course it did turn out that there were many things that Holly and Robert had in common with Emma and Tristan. I think the audience knew that before we did. It was just spending so much time together; we had kissed a hundred times, but the first kiss was still as momentous as one would hope.

I never got tired of Robert and Holly. We were determined to be something very unusual in soap operadom, which was a happy, yet interesting couple; we discussed it. The other thing was, we added a lot of seemingly insignificant moments to the scenes that weren’t written in that helped us look happy even when we were supposedly going through dramas. There was a scene in the sauna that was supposed to be very romantic; he was supposed to open champagne, which was supposed to gush onto my shoulder for him to lick off. Well, that was easier said than done. The champagne would not gush out; it would just fizzle. After three takes, we were getting frustrated, so, on the fourth take, in the middle of a romantic scene, Tristan started shaking the bottle. Of course, I said, ‘What are you doing?’ and from then on, it was adlibbed. When he opened the champagne it went completely in my face, which burned, but I started laughing. I laughed so much that it became a funny scene, not a romantic one. And they kept the whole thing.

Both Tristan and I have very, very pleasant memories of working together; it’s something you so rarely find, someone who is so matched to you professionally, and who you can laugh with and still get the work done.”

Summer 1992 SOD Supercouples Special

“What’s it really like to be part of a supercouple?”

Genie Francis –

“Laura had been around 3 ½ years by the time she was paired with Luke (Tony Geary). It would have been hard if we came on as a couple, or they rushed us as a couple. But that wasn’t the case, I went from ‘Mommy, can I grow strawberries on the terrace?’ to Luke raping me on the disco floor. They didn’t know we were going to become as popular together as we did; otherwise, they never would have done the rape. They loved our scenes together, and that’s when they started calling it a rape/seduction. But when I first played the scene, I played rape.

The best part of the story was when we were on the run, with Frank Smith and the little black book. We both had fun; it we didn’t, it wouldn’t have been the big hit that it was. I can’t say anything negative about the work at the time. It was fun. We were really breaking new ground, and it was very exciting. If Tony and I had stayed, married, for five years, yes, then there would have been a problem. But we didn’t give it a chance to get boring. We left them wanting more.

Tony Geary, who played Luke, and I are not in touch all the time, but I know that he cares about me and I him. We did something incredible together. That does leave a ‘bond’ between people. You have to print that and you have to have him read it because he’ll laugh so hard when he sees that: bond. We used to get that in notes. We’d see: ‘Play the bond. Play the bond between the two of you.’ I’d loved to be a fly on the wall when he reads that.”

It's interesting how the Genie and Emma interviews are different from each other. I can't quite put my finger on it....
