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.
For the full interview and more quotes from the amazing Tony Geary, please check out the March 30th issue of Soaps in Depth.
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?

You won’t want to miss this year’s General Hospital anniversary episode. April 1st , 2015 marks General Hospital’s 52nd year on the air. The daytime drama aired on April 1st, 1963 and is now more popular than ever. In the last couple of years, the writers and executives over at ABC’s General Hospital have made the anniversary of the show really something special. In 2013, General Hospital celebrated 50 years on the air. Flashbacks and cast come backs have been huge since GH’s 50th with many iconic vet actors coming back to reprise their roles.
Three very special actors have been chosen to carry the weight of this special 52nd anniversary episode. Jason Thompson (Dr. Patrick Drake), Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth Webber), and Ryan Carnes (Dr. Lucas Jones), will be leading the show with what has been called a time warp epsiode of General Hospital. This trio will be portraying the original characters that debuted in the first ever episode of General Hospital.
Jason Thompson will play the legendary Dr. Steven Hardy (John Beradino), Rebecca Herbst will take on the role of Nurse Jessie Brewer (Emily McLaughlin), while the role of Jessie’s husband, Phil (Roy Thinnes), will be played by Ryan Carnes. These scenes will all be in black and white to display the full effect of the original 1963 GH debut.
The three stars are extremely honored to have been chosen to make this extraordinary tribute come to life. Jason Thomson tells sources, “None of us took it lightly. It was a real honor to pay tribute to the cast that launched our show. Let’s face it: If they hadn’t done their jobs extremely well; if they hadn’t grabbed the attention of the audience right off the bat- none of us would be here today.” Thompson, Herbst, and Carnes studied the original episode in depth, and they are excited for the opportunity. “It was so much fun getting into such a different style of performance.” Everything was very serious and straightforward back then, almost formal but really cool. And no one was overacting.” Rebecca Herbst tells TV Insider.
In the episode, keep watch for the recreation of the original nurses station, with original props, costumes, and more.
It’s safe to say that if you are a fan with a real emotional attachment to this show, whether you have been with it since day one, or have been watching for only a short time, this will really be an amazingly emotional thing to see.
Check out a clip from ABC’s General Hospital in 1963 as the first air time debut on April 1st.
Fans were ecstatic when the news was announced that All My Children vet, Rebecca Budig would be jointing the cast of General Hospital. General Hospital rumors immediacy started to spread like wild fire as fans tried to guess what role the established actress would be playing in Port Charles. Rumors even went as far as claiming that Budig would take Kimberly McCullough’s place as the iconic Robin Scorpio Drake. Fortunately for the vast majority’s opinions, that is not the case.
It has been revealed that Rebecca Budig will join GH as a brand new character. General Hospital spoilers reveal that Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) will stop at nothing to hold onto Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst). He hires Rebecca’s character to pose as Jake Doe’s “wife” in an attempt to keep Jake and Elizabeth apart. All the while, what he is actually doing is keeping Jason Morgan (Billy Miller) away from Sam (Kelly Monaco) and Danny.
What are you thoughts on this big reveal? Are you happy with the role in which Rebecca Budig will make her GH debut?
JaSam fans will be steaming mad knowing that their much anticipated Jason and Sam reunion is being dragged out even further.

The actress revealed a huge General Hospital spoiler via Twitter. Kirsten Storms announced to fans that while she was reading her script, there will be a plot twist that even she didn’t see coming.
Could Kirsten be referring to Maxie’s love triangle with Nathan and Spinelli? Perhaps Spinelli finding out about Jason? Hang in there fans and watch GH every day on ABC to find out exactly where this plot twist is headed.
