Genie Francis will no longer stand by that rape scene between Luke and Laura Spencer in General Hospital.

Rather than making him face consequences for his actions, the show had the pair fall in love and eventually get married. For decades, the show attempted to play off the awful moment by calling it “seduction.” But without a doubt, this storyline would not fly on television today.

Now, Genie has slammed the controversial scene — and made it clear she refuses to “justify” what happened anymore. The soap opera legend told reporters during ABC’s Television Critics Association presentation on Wednesday:
She continued, saying how being a part of that storyline has been a “burden” for her:
For those who think this is some sort of exaggeration, here’s the scene (in admittedly terrible quality):
Yeah, no question here. This was intended to be a scene depicting a sexual assault. And it’s horrible.
Looking back on the romance between Luke and Laura, Genie recalled what it was like to film their wedding (above right, inset) in light of the rape scene and said it was an “uncomfortable” moment. She explained:
Despite the awful storyline, the 60-year-old actress recognized how “big a deal” their character’s wedding was to fans at the time:
We’re glad to see Genie calling out how terrible the plot between Laura and Luke was so many years later. She’s right,

Sundance Review: Susanna Fogel’s ‘Cat Person’ Starring Emilia Jones & Nicholas Braun
Based on one of the most sensational and much-discussed short stories of recent times, which was heralded as the most-read story ever to appear in The New Yorker, Cat Person is a disarmingly creepy film with a disturbing edge that will surely trigger further discussion about contemporary dating and romantic protocols. Years ago, a little film like this would have found a modest but loyal following among young audiences. Now, however, its forthright presentation of the pitfalls of flashing yellow lights where male-female relations are concerned should make this a must-see and a subject of hot discussion at least among teens and young adults.
