However, after learning what Valentini has to say about Geary’s departure, those hearts may feel a but uplifted.
Frank Valentini said, “Tony recently made his intentions clear that he would vacate his role as Luke Spencer this year, and it was a decision he did not come to lightly.” GH fans had a feeling, after the Fluke story had wrapped up that Geary would be on his way out, especially after returning from his back surgeries last year. In another statement, Valentini said, “After 37 years on the air, Tony felt this was the right time to bid adieu to Port Charles, Luke Spencer, and General Hospital. Anthony is our friend and a part of our television family, but, as difficult as this may be, we understand and respect that this is his choice. Rest assured, Tony has promised to be with us throughout the summer as we have some exciting things in store for Luke. The door will always remain open, so don’t think this is the last you’ll see of Anthony Geary or Luke Spencer.”
There you have it folks. Anthony Geary is definitely leaving General Hospital, but Executive Producer Frank Valentini has given fans hope to see Tony as Luke in future cameo appearances.
