I agree wholeheartedly that making Laura's rape all about Luke's manpain is fucking gross. However, I don't think it's fair to blame Geary for that. In that interview he's talking about his character's feelings and his role in the storyline. He's not talking about how Laura feels because he doesn't play Laura. He's finding a way to understand and sympathize with Luke because that's what actors do.

Geary's not perfect, not by a long shot, but he's always been open about how twisted and damaged Luke is. Really, I think he understands the character much better than the writers do.

I didn't read the whole interview (just that excerpt quoted on WP) so you definitely have a point--as an actor myself, yes, I know it is not the job of the actor to see the whole picture but rather to identify with his/her character and find a way to justify that. HELLO GH DIRECTOR AND WRITER(S) FEEL FREE TO WEIGH IN HERE ON THE LARGER PICTURE OF HOW RAPE IS NOT JUST A PLOT DEVICE TO SHOW US MANPAIN.

That whole fucking WP article needs to be rewritten, it reads as though it were written 30 years ago. I'm sure Genie Francis must have done some interviews over That Incident, she should be quoted as well.
