Luke and Laura's son, Lucky Spencer, endured a significant and traumatic ordeal during his life, prominently involving mind control that deeply impacted his perception of his family and past.
The Ordeal of Faison's Mind Control
During a period when Lucky was held captive by the villain Faison, he was subjected to an intense program of mind control. Under hypnosis, Faison manipulated Lucky's memories and emotions with specific instructions:
- Forgetting Recent Past: Lucky was instructed to forget the details of his most recent days in Port Charles, effectively wiping away a crucial period of his life.
- Engineered Disgust: A more insidious aspect of the programming was to instill a profound sense of disgust within Lucky towards his parents, Luke and Laura. This was particularly focused on the traumatic event of Luke raping Laura, a dark chapter in their history.
This mind control aimed to sever Lucky's emotional ties and loyalty to his parents, twisting his perception of them and their past actions. The psychological manipulation had lasting effects on Lucky, influencing his identity and his complex relationships with Luke and Laura long after his escape from captivity.
