GH's Luke and Alexis: Partners in Crime

Alexis and Luke in the same room together usually spells trouble. The two excel in masterminding grand schemes as they trade sarcastic barbs that are priceless. Their lastest plot, to fram Helena for Katherine's death - a crime they had botched - had all the humor and intelligence of a theatrical stage show. When Luke told Alexis that Katherine's will was a forgery, she responded, "What are you on?" When she demanded evidence of this, Luek uttered, "You got it cookie!" Luke's scenario claimed Helena wanted Stefan imprisoned and Nikolas to herself, leading her to forge Katherine's will to suggest that Stefan manipulated Katherine into signing over to him her fortune. With this, Like planted Helena's "cloven hoofprints" on Katherine's second wrtten will, setting his and Alexis' plan in motion.

This story intrigues us because of Nancy Lee Grahn's (Alexis) and Tony Geary's (Luke) ability to heighten scenes by seasoning them with their talent and rapport. These two have the ability to deliver flawles performances, whether dealing in tragedy, comedy, or drama. When GH teams these two, they can do no wrong.
