Tony Geary Leaves GH, He Explains, “I Need to Clear My Head Out”

There has been a lot of back and forth in regard to the status of GH vet, Anthony Geary, whether or not he will be leaving General Hospital after the big Fluke/Spencer family reveal.

We finally know the truth the the fan’s burning question, ‘Is Anthony Geary leaving General Hospital?’ Fans, fear not, because there has been no confirmation of the rumors circulating that Geary would be retiring his 37 year role on GH as Lucas Lorenzo Spencer. However, in the most recent issue of Soaps in Depth, Geary told the magazine that he has briefly left GH.

General Hospital Spoilers: GH Has Big Plans for the Month of May

Executive Producer Frank Valentini has some exciting news for GH fans…

General Hospital has just celebrated it’s 52nd Anniversary, being the longest running Daytime Drama on air today. The anniversary episode went out with a bang, revealing a HUGE secret the Spencer family has been holing back all these years.

Fan’s emotions we all over the map as they watched a young Luke Spencer, played by the extremely talented Joey Luthman, a feisty teen Patricia Spencer played by the lovely Chloe Lanier, along with Laura Wright who played Luke’s mother, a young Bobbie Spencer, and Tony Geary who played Luke’s alcoholic, abusive father.

As the story unfolded, fans, along with the Spencer clan, learned that Luke Spencer accidentally killed his own mother ironically, as he was trying to protect her from his father. Ultimately, Luke’s anger toward his abusive father lead him to kill him as well. Luke has been burying this night away in his memory bank, suppressing the traumatic events. Thus resulting in the current story line where Luke has been acting evil, with an alter ego, and having DID.

People Magazine reports that General Hospital has a big event planned for the month of May. On May 15th and 18th, the cast and crew of General Hospital will air LIVE from Los Angeles as a continuation of the 52nd  anniversary, celebratory episode.

Executive Producer, Frank Valentini reports, “Taking such an iconic show such as General Hospital live for two days is both exhilarating and risky.” He continues on saying, “I am enormously proud of our cast, crew, and staff for all their tireless dedication and hard work that will be leading up to this daytime television event. It’s live television and absolutely anything can happen, but that is what’s fun about this and we’re absolutely up to the challenge.”

During the episodes, fans will be able to engage with the actors in a live conversation via Twitter with hashtag #GHLive.

In the most recent issue of Soaps in Depth Magazine, legendary General Hospital icon, Anthony Geary, talks to sources about his career at General Hospital, Head Writer Ron Carlivati, Executive Producer Frank Valentini, and the Fluke Story coming full circle.

There are huge General Hospital rumors circulating in regard to Tony Geary’s status with GH, Luke Spencer’s family secret, and just exactly how the Fluke story will come to a close. Fans have been speculating that at this time, as we creep up to GH’s 52nd anniversary, is when the Spencer family secret will be revealed, and Geary will end his 37 year role on ABC’s General Hospital.

Tony Geary tells SID that Carlivati leaves nothing unanswered when it comes to this whole Fluke story, the DID will tie into the beginning of Luke Spencer, including the rape of Laura, and will even explain why Luke disappears unannounced, leaving his family and loved ones behind. This story will ultimately come full circle. Geary is extremely pleased with the direction Ron Carlivati is taking this character. He tells sources at SID, “I am so thrilled. I feel like they’ve done an amazing job into pulling this character into an understandable, motivated ball after thirty seven years.”

Geary tells Soaps in Depth that he gives credit to Executive Producer Frank Valentini as well for giving him the opportunity to place this dark side of Luke. “I was getting weary, and thinking it was time to go,” he revealed, ‘Frank said, ‘What haven’t you done on the show?’ I said that I wanted to explore the dark side of Luke.” It looks as though Valentini did just that, he listened to Geary’s request and made it happen.

Luke Spencer’s Deep Dark Secret Revealed

It’s been a long time coming and fans can’t seem to wait another moment to find out what the big Spencer Family secret is that could have caused Luke to repress such terrible memories, causing his DID.

Something is haunting Luke from his past, and the newest member of the Spencer family may be the key to tying it all together. GH has cast Dee Wallace to play Luke and Bobbie’s other sister, Pat Spencer.

General Hospital spoilers reveal that around GH’s 52nd anniversary episode, the Spencer family secret will come out. GH rumors have been focusing on one angle in particular. Many seem to think that Luke Spencer is responsible for killing his own mother, and the only one who knows about it is his sister, Pat.

Currently, Fluke has tracked down his niece Valerie, the daughter of his long lost, thought to be dead, sister, Pat. He wants to know where she is. Does Luke want answers from dear old sis, or does he want to kill her? If the GH rumors are true, and Pat is the only one who holds the key to Luke’s past, perhaps he will need to shut her up, permanently.

We want to know what you think about this story. Do you think that Luke will be responsible for his mother’s death? Is this the direction in which you would like to see this character head into?

General Hospital Spoilers: The Luke Spencer Mystery Finally Solved

The mystery of Fluke/Luke Spencer has been one hell of a roller coaster for a longer period of time than fans ever expected. For over an entire year fans have been left in the dark to try and unravel the mystery behind fake Luke Spencer. Was he an impostor? Was it plastic surgery, a mask? Was it all in his mind, brainwashing from his arch enemy Helena Cassadine?

Tracy, Lulu, Bobbie, and all of Luke’s loved ones and friends couldn’t wrap their heads around is peculiar behavior over the past year. He has been sneaky to say that least, and down right dangerous. He has hurt those who love him the most, and who he loves dearly. Nothing was adding up, especially in the most recent explanation that Luke was just being himself, no regrets. The thought of Luke trying to kill his own cupcake, Lulu, and his love, Tracy Quartermaine, rattled many cages. Fans were upset because the legendary Luke Spencer they had known for decades was now gone. The characters of GH who surround Luke are feeling the exact same way. He has become a stranger to his family and friends, and his own sister Bobbie is ready to throw in the towel.

With the help of Helena’s explanation to Nikolas and Lulu, and Bobbie getting through to Luke, the mystery has finally been solved. Fake Luke isn’t another person, he isn’t wearing a mask, he hasn’t been brainwashed, and he didn’t just change his mind and turn against the ones he loves. The way Luke “snapped out of it” when Bobbie was preaching to him gave the impression that Luke hasn’t been aware of how he has been behaving because of split personalities.

The concept of DID on soaps is not a new one, the most famous DID story in soap history is from One Life to Live, involving Victoria Lord and her alter egos. More recently, General Hospital used DID in the story with Connie Falconeri/Kate Howard.

It looks like this is where the writers are going with this ongoing Luke Spencer mystery. The mystery has finally been solved. Luke has DID due to traumatic events he experienced growing up in the old Spencer home. General Hospital spoilers reveal that those times are about to resurface, and Luke will have to face what he went through yet again. Will going down memeory line hurt or help his state of mind?

How do you feel about this DID story involving Luke Spencer? Are you happy this story has finally been solved?

What’s REALLY Going On With Luke Spencer

Lucas Lorenzo Spencer as we know him is gone. So far gone that he is unrecognizable to his daughter Lulu Falconeri, and his love, Tracy Quartermaine. The two most important women in Luke’s life are at a loss, not knowing what has come over the ones loving, sincere man they once knew.

Lulu and Tracy had their hopes high with the idea of being able to blame Helena Cassadine for Luke’s 180 in his personality. For the past year, he has been acting like a completely different person, so much so that his loved ones and residents of PC actually began to believe that Luke WAS another person. When Faison turned out to be just a decoy so that Fluke could continue on withreeking havoc on the city of PC, everyone was convinced that Helena had perform mind conditioning on Luke, as she had done on Jake Doe (Jason Morgan). Lulu did not want to face the conclusion that her adoring father had actually tried to kill her and everyone he/they care about. She and Tracy needed someone to blame for Luke’s behavior and they had their minds set on Luke’s arch enemy, Helena.

When it turned out that Jake Doe was found to have a microchip in his brain as Helena disclosed, Luke however did not. As of now, there is no reason to believe that Helena has used a microchip to control Luke Spencer. That doesn’t mean that it ends there. As Tracy told Luke today, it is clear that there is much more to this than Luke is leading on. He claims these acts are his and his alone. That the way he treated his daughter, Tracy, and wanting what Sonny has has been in him this whole time, and that he just now figured out how to TAKE all the power.

Just as we as fans and the characters of GH thought that had this Fluke mystery all figured out, we encountered yet another setback. The story feels like a never ending mystery and many fans are ready to through their hands in the air and give up trying to solve it. Hopefully it won’t be much longer until Tracy, Lulu, Nikolas, or whoever has the power to get to the bottom of this does just that.

What do you think is really going on with Luke Spencer? Since he is NOT an impostor, and Helena claims she is not controlling him, what could have happened? Did the drugs he was given in Miscavige effect his brain this severely? Will we ever get our beloved Luke back? Will Lulu get to see her dad enjoy his grandson Rocco when this is all over? We will just have to stick it out a little longer and watch it all unfold in upcoming episodes of General Hospital.

General Hospital Spoilers: Nathan Gets Closer To Fluke’s True Identity!

This has to be the most confusing story line mysteries in General Hospital history. Even with what was supposed to be the huge revelation of Fluke’s true identity LAST Friday, confusion still remains. After Dante woke up from being unconscious, and saw a rotten corpse in the chair he expected to see his father-in-law, Luke Spencer, fans were led to the conclusion that Fluke and Luke are one in the same.

Recent General Hospital spoilers entertain the idea that Nathan will go to his mother, Dr. Leisl Obrecht for answers, getting closer to the true identity of Fluke. As Chief of Staff, Dr. O has the free reign of General Hospital, taking Nathan into the lab. Obrecht lets her son in on a little secret as she tells him, “All the answers you seek about Luke Spencer will be found here.”  Dr. Obrecht has been entangled with the Cassadine’s and the evil work of Faison for quite some time. She told Nathan that his father was Victor Cassadine, but we the audience know that isn’t the truth. Obrecht admitted that Nathan’s father is far worse than Victor.

Just how much does Dr. O know about Helena and Fluke? Will Nathan learn that Fluke’s identity is far more worse than everyone actually thought?

Has Helena Created A Monster?

Just as General Hospital fans thought they had their finger pointed at the mystery behind Fluke’s identity, the writers throw in some twists and turns. As Dante was knocked out and locked in the basement of the old Spencer home, to his dismay, he awakened to find a chair with a corpse sitting in it. Right then and there fans made a realization… that Fluke was talking to himself the entire time, thining he was talking to Luke all in his mind.

However, today’s episode of GH threw fans a curve ball. Since Dante found the rotted corpse, fans immediately figured that Luke was under Helena’s mind control, and committing these devious acts without Luke’s own conscious knowledge. Now that we witnessed Helena not being able to control Fluke, does that suggest that Fluke actually IS another person? Perhaps Helena got exactly what she wished for. Did Helena create a monster?

Let us know what you think! Is Fluke actually Luke under Helena’s control? Has Helena finally lost control of her own monster? Or is Fluke someone else? A Cassadine maybe?

General Hospital Spoilers: Will Johnny’s Involvement in Fluke’s Plan Cost Him His Life?

In last week’s episodes, General Hospital spoilers revealed that mob Prince, Johnny Zacchara knows a lot more about his ex-girlfriend’s father than Lulu believes. Johnny and Lulu were catching up at The Haunted Star after Johnny’s release from Pentonville. Although Johnny has been out of Port Charles and out of Lulu’s life for some time, the connection between the two of them is still there. It’s obvious that Johnny still cares about Lulu, and the feeling is reciprocated. Lulu is still absolutely in love with and loyal to her husband, Dante, but Johnny and Lulu will always care about one another.

Even so, Johnny is still not being truthful with his old friend. He has led her to believe that he is out of Pentonville because he is truly innocent of the crimes he was accused. In conversation, Lulu was discussing her father, Luke, and Johnny maed a comment that would insinuate that Luke isn’t exactly who Lulu thinks he is. After that slipped, Johnny had a flashback of himself talking to the Luke imposter, but did not say anything further to Lulu.

We now know that Johnny knows about Luke, but we are uncertain of the extent of his involvement with Fluke and Helena’s plans. General Hospital rumors suggest that someone is going to die. There will be two explosions and a shoot out, and someone is going to pay the price. GH rumors have also been circulating, stating that Brandon Barash was only brought back to General Hospital for a short time. The actor has not signed a contract with the show, and has been rumored to be killed off.

Will Johnny be the one to die when catastrophe strikes at The Haunted Star?

Let us know how you think this will all play out. Leave your comments and thoughts in the section below.
