Laura's love affair and marriage to Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary), a man who had drunkenly raped her at one time, turned General Hospital into the most-watched daytime drama of the 1980s. She left the show in 1982 to try her hand at primetime, and landed her own series, Bare Essence, which was not a success. Anthony Geary, in a still from General Hospital. ...

Francis also appeared on Days of Our Lives as Diana Colville from July 15, 1987 to April 30, 1989 and on All My Children as con artist and incest victim Ceara Connor Hunter from June 23, 1990 to August 12, 1992. She reprised her role as Ceara on Loving in November 1991. These roles were the product of Francis trying to shed her image as the Pauline-esque heroine she got while on General Hospital. Eventually, she grew to accept the image and returned to GH in 1993. In early 1997 she took an absence from the show to have her second child and stayed away nearly a year and a half, an eternity in soap time, provoking speculation that she had to be threatened with legal action in order to return at all (as she finally did in spring 1998).

In September 2002 she abruptly left General Hospital following ABC's refusal to work out a contract she wanted. Laura's exit storyline entailed killing her beloved stepfather Rick Webber, then losing her mind and not remembering her husband Luke or any of her children. In 2004 she told USA Today that she thought ABC wanted her out after a 2001 interview where she admitted to heavy drug abuse during the Luke & Laura early '80s heyday. She also claimed a female producer (many took her to mean Jill Farren Phelps) would open her coat, ridicule her weight, and then walk away.
