GH recaps highlight Sonny and Carly’s wedding day drama. It was supposed to be a happy day full of love and family. Instead, Sonny was shot on the day he was supposed to marry his love, Carly. The two were preparing for their 5th wedding to one another. According to the recent GH recaps, Sonny risked his life to save TJ Ashford. Sonny promised his friend and enforcer, Shawn, that he would protect the boy and he did just that.

Morgan’s Revenge

General Hospital spoilers reveal that the aftermath of Sonny’s shooting will make a huge impact on the lives in Port Charles. First, Sonny’s youngest son Morgan faces whether or not he will be diagnosed with bipolar disorder, just like his dad. So far, signs are pointing to yes. Morgan is displaying some of the same characteristics that would lead to a bipolar diagnosis. After Sonny was shot, Morgan was beside himself with grief and anger. The thought of losing his dad has his mind spinning out of control… so much that he will go to extreme measures to get justice.

According to GH previews, Morgan is ready to end Julian’s life. He’s out for revenge and won’t let anyone deter him from getting justice for Sonny. Moreover, General Hospital spoilers indicate that Sonny’s incident will adversely affect many lives in Port Charles. As a result of the incident, the Jason Morgan reveal will begin to unravel. Sam, Maxie, and Ric, have already started to notice the similarities between Jake Doe and Jason Morgan right after the shooting on the pier.

Social media platforms are flooded with comments regarding what’s next in Port Charles. Specifically, Sonny’s fate hangs in the balance. As a result, General Hospital fan pages blew up as fans discuss Sonny and the entire Corinthos family.

Understandably, the Daytime Drama’s leading storyline has caused an uproar among the fans. GH’s long-time audience fear the potentially losing Port Charles’s favorite mobster. According to the latest General Hospital spoilers and rumors, Sonny Corinthos’s (Maurice Benard) fate is decided. What is going to happen next for Sonny and the rest of the Corinthos clan?

GH previews indicate that the mobster’s life hangs by a thread as Carly, Michael, Morgan, Sam, and Jake, wait helplessly at the hospital. Meanwhile, Ric causes trouble for Carly and her kids. He is in denial, and so he repudiates Michael, and Morgan’s significance in Sonny’s life. Sadly, Ric’s petty drama ensues contemporaneously while Sonny fights for his life.

At this point, it’s uncertain whether he will live or die. GH rumors claim that the PC mobster could become paralyzed after surgery, and Sonny’s family fears the worst. Unfortunately, this is the only option. While the surgery may save his life, there is a risk that Sonny may never walk again.

Carly has quite the decision to make. What do you think will happen to Sonny? If he lives, will he ever walk again?

General Hospital’s Tony Geary and EP Frank Valentini- Geary’s Last Day On Set Of GH

Where has 37 years gone? After almost 4 decades, Tony Geary tapes last scenes, and says goodbye to General Hospital, and his role as Luke Spencer. Here he waves to the camera with Frank Valentini by his side.

Sadly, all knew this day was coming. However, it has really crept up on us all rather quickly. A few months back, General Hospital Blog shared the news that Tony Geary had announced his retirement. After a 37 year run, Geary goes his own way from GH and his role as Luke.

Geary’s portrayal of Luke Spencer has had a significant impact to the show’s “legendary” status to say the least. Alone, Geary took the audience by storm, and alongside co-star Genie Francis, they made history as the infamous Luke and Laura- with a wedding America will never forget. Reportedly, Tony Geary has won 8 Daytime Emmy Awards for his role as Luke Spencer.

Tony Geary Tapes Last Scenes

General Hospital news reports reveal that Geary taped his very last scenes on June 22nd, 2015. Inevitably, Lucas Lorenzo Spencer departs Port Charles later this Summer. It was an emotional goodbye over on the GH set, as his friends and cast mates bid him farewell after 37 years in the iconic role. Geary was surrounded by GH castmates and friends, including Finola Hughes (Anna Devane), Leslie Charleson (Monica Quartermaine), Lynn Herring (Lucy Coe), Kristina Wagner (Felicia Jones), Kin Shriner (Scotty Baldwin), and more. Evidently, friend Maurice Benard told Geary, “Not having you here is going to be sad for me.”

According to General Hospital news, Tony Geary revealed that leaving General Hospital is bitter sweet. Although it’s sad to say goodbye, he looks forward to what the future holds for his personal life, and his career. Recently, Geary told Entertainment Weekly, “I’m excited to raise the curtain on act 3, to reinvent myself in my new home to pursue whatever opportunity there may be. It’s  an exciting prospect to me. They’ve done a wonderful job of wrapping up the character. So this seems like the ideal time to go.”

Geary leaves GH with words of hope and encouragement for the industry and fans. In regard to the survival of daytime soaps, and the stir up involving the cancellation of One Life to Live and All My Children, Geary tells EW, “It was scary there for two or three years when every thing was being cancelled. The network thought that talk shows should take over because people weren’t going to be interested in soaps. But there has been a resurgence and I think that’s hopeful sign. I don’t believe it’s the end of the medium. Serialization is a great way to tell stories.”

Tony Geary Will Be Missed

Anthony Geary and Luke Spencer will be greatly missed. Geary is an extremely talented actor, and Luke will never be forgotten. We wish him the absolute best in everything that comes his way going forward. It is sad to say goodbye, but there is a warm place in our hearts knowing that he gave so much to the industry for so long. Thank you Tony Geary! We love you!

Anthony Geary final day on General Hospital
