Luke's Memorial Service wasn't a great send off on General Hospital

 It could have been better, much better!

We stayed away from all GH social media so we could watch this episode in quiet and not be swayed by previous opinions.  So this morning the lunch crew got together in a private home to watch this episode.  We all thought it would be a tear jerker, something to make soap  history, much along the lines of Luke and Laura's wedding.  

We are sad to report that the general consensus is that this was not all that it could have been.  There were some great moments but what should have been the GRIEF because the loss of Luke's life was just not there.  Is it possible that people have mostly forgotten Luke (Tony Geary) and his years on the show because he has been gone so long, ABSOLUTELY.  

We definitely think that played a role.  They had Helena make an appearance via a recording made by Helena prior to her own death to get the last poke at Luke.  Laura literally pull the plug on Helena's plan and didn't let anybody know what she had to say.   Not one of Luke's kids were at his Memorial Service.  

Then the brought Jennifer Smith in at the last minute. Most people don't  know who she was and what relevance she had in Luke's life.  She as at one time engaged to Luke and was the daughter of MOB BOSS Frank Smith. This role was played by 4 different actresses.  Lisa Marie portrayed the character in 1980, Roseanne Arnold in 1994, Sally Struthers in February 2002, and Holly Gagnier in June 2015.  Who the heck cares who she was and why she is there now?  NOBODY!!!  

What did you think of Luke's Memorial Service? 

There were no flashbacks so we thought we would give you some so you can remember the genius that was LUKE SPENCER.
