Tony Geary Interview: Luke Story Comes Full Circle

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: Ric’s Plan Backfires

Ric has always been an exception schemer. Who could forget how he came into Port Charles? He weaseled his way into his brother Sonny’s life under false pretenses, getting close to Sonny just to try and take him down. He kidnapped Carly while she was pregnant and locked her into a panic room, in a house he shared with Elizabeth. He lied to Elizabeth on a daily basis. Ric has done some questionable things around Port Charles, and there are more where those came from.

Ric’s latest scheme is just another way to get what he wants, Elizabeth. He is in love with Liz Webber as they found their way back to each other even after all the terrible things he did to her. However, when Liz thought Ric was dead, she started to have feelings for Jake (Jason) Doe. When Ric returned from the dead (or so everyone thought), he explained that he was in the witness protection program, and that he had been trying to get back to his love, Elizabeth. Since Liz and Jake were smack in the middle of a growing romance, Ric basically told Jake to get lost.

Some time has passed and Elizabeth has had time to try and sort out her feelings. She admitted that she has feelings for Jake, even though his past is uncertain. Knowing that Jake is an honorable man and will keep his commitments, Ric hired Hayden to pretend to be Jake’s wife in order to get him out of the picture, and Liz running back into his arms.

General Hospital spoilers indicate that although Ric may think he has the perfect plan, things will soon enough blow up in his face. Since there is another person involved in the scheme other than Ric and Hayden, this complicated the secret. The man who is posing for photos, pretending to be “Jake” may not be a sure thing for Ric to pull this off. General Hospital rumors have speculated that this man will end up blackmailing Ric, and flat out will not want to go through with the plan.

How will Elizabeth react when the truth comes out? If Ric thinks his plan is a sure thing… he’s got another thing coming.

52 Years of GH! General Hospital’s Time Warp Episode

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.

 

 

Rebecca Budig to Play Jake’s “Wife”

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.

Will Patrick Hide Jake’s Identity From Sam?

Back when Robin was whisked away by Victor Cassadine to help him bring his family members back from being cryogenically frozen, Patrick had to make a decision. After learning that Victor told Robin that she would be helping bring Jason Morgan back to life, Patrick had to decide to hide this information from his friend Sam. He kept the secret that Jason was alive and being held by the Cassadines for months. As their relationship grew from friendship to romance, Patrick struggled with the decision of letting Sam know there could be hope for her husband Jason.

General Hospital rumors have been suggesting that Patrick may soon be battling with a quite similar predicament. Patrick has operated on Jason Morgan as well as Jake Doe. He has performed invasive surgery and has analyzed brain scans. It is quite possible that Patrick has an inclination that Jake is actually Jason Morgan.
It will be interesting to find out whether or not Patrick will go down that road. Will he be forced to make another decision that could make or break his relationship with Sam? If Patrick knows that Jake is Jason, if he tells her, he could lose her. After all, Jason is her husband. If he doesn’t tell her, he would betray her trust yet again. Either way, Patrick loses.
The question is, with all the General Hospital spoilers and rumors floating around, could it be true that Patrick knows/will find out that Jake is Jason Morgan?
Let us know what you think. If Patrick knows, will he hide this from Sam in hopes to keep her?

A Surpsise Wedding? Will Sabrina Marry Michael?

Michael’s behavior has been spinning out of control since he learned that his adoptive father, Sonny Corinthos murdered his biological father, AJ Quartermaine. His mother, Carly, kept the secret from her son, as did Morgan and Kiki. Michael feels betrayed by everyone he loves and now he is acting out of anger. He wants revenge against Sonny and nothing is off limits, not even an innocent baby.

Baby Avery, Sonny and Ava’s daughter had been in the care of Sonny after he was pardoned from prison since her mother, Ava is presumed dead. Michael claims he wants to protect Avery from Sonny’s mobster life and so he sought out to get custody of his adoptive sister.

Now that Michael has Avery and has spitefully nicknamed her AJ, he may need a mother figure in Avery’s life. Sabrina and Michael have been hanging out a lot together lately, and Sabrina seems to be very fond of babies.

General Hospital rumors hint that Michael and Sabrina may be tying the knot. General Hospital spoilers reveal that Michael has a proportion for Sabrina.

Will these two make a good couple? Do you think Michael will take his scheming to that level? Watch GH weekdays at 2PM Eastern to find out what happens next.
