The ABC soap vet and All My Children alum, Rebecca Budig, joined the cast of General Hospital back in March of this year. She was brought on as her character was part of the Jason Morgan/Jake Doe story line. As of right now, in Port Charles, Hayden Barnes, played by Budig, holds the key to Jason’s true identity.
Sure, other people are aware that Jake Doe (Billy Miller) is actually Jason. Those people include, Nikolas Cassadine (Tyler Christopher), Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst), Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson), and Laura Spencer (Genie Francis). Well since Nikolas is the original person to harbor this secret and let Liz in on it because she is in love with Jake/Jason, and since Nik is now acting like a full blown Cassadine, there’s no chance of him or Liz coming clean. Nikolas told Lucky about this so that Lucky could have peace of mind if he decided to leave town. Knowing that Jason Morgan was caring for his children, Lucky felt it was right for him to leave and let Liz be happy. Therefore, Lucky has skipped town, and won’t be back to tell for the foreseeable future. Laura Spencer overheard a conversation Nikolas was having that she obviously was never meant to hear. Although she doesn’t agree with what Nikolas and Liz are doing, she feels that it isn’t her place to reveal the truth and expose their lies.
This leaves Hayden Barnes. Hayden is the woman that Nikolas out a hit out on in order to keep her quiet. Recently, Patrick has been receiving reports of her condition, that she is waking up.
General Hospital spoilers have revealed that Rebecca Budig has already started taping for GH, and her character will return this Fall. According to Soap Opera Digest, Budig has signed a contract with General Hospital and is here to stay… well at least she’s here until her contract is up.
General Hospital Blog will keep fans updated on any news related to Rebecca’s status with GH.

Luke and Laura are legends, but they would be nothing without the fire and chemistry between the two people who have portrayed them for over 3 decades. Tony Geary and Genie Francis came together unexpectedly to make television magic.
In an interview with Paolo Presta for his show, A Spoonful of Paolo, General Hospital’s Anthony Geary (Lucas Lorenzo Spencer), touches on what it was like to work with certain stars over the years. “Her husky voice drove me crazy. I thought she was hot stuff.” That is a statement Geary made about Demi Moore, who played Jackie Templeton on GH. He referred to another star, Roseanne Barr as, “A tough lady,” and went on to tell Paolo that he asked her to marry him when they met.
What Tony Geary said about his long time friend and co-star Genie Francis will melt your heart. His statement regarding Genie, and his relationship with her put their entire existence ans Luke and Laura into perspective. Geary tells Paolo, “Her talent was spectacular, and is spectacular. Her vulnerability, her ability to use her emotional range, is unsurpassed. It’s hard to even go there because there’s so much…” As if THAT wasn’t amazing enough, Geary proceeded to say, “Our artistic souls met somewhere in outer space. In the early days, I felt very protective of her, which I think fed the relationship of Luke and Laura.”
It’s apparent that Tony Geary and Genie Francis have an undeniable chemistry and bond that compares to nothing else we have seen on television. Their off screen admiration for one another shaped the dynamic of their characters, Luke and Laura.
As Anthony Geary prepares to leave General Hospital after 37 years, he told Paolo Presta that it will be the people he will miss the most.
Luke and Laura’s adventure has barely just begun… They have to rescue Luke’s sons, Ethan Lovett and Lucky Spencer, but that doesn’t look like it will be the end of their quest. Who is behind all this drama anyway? What person in General Hospital history would want both Luke and Laura on a wild goose chase, making them suffer in fear for their children?
Luke, Laura, Lucky, and Ethan, get closer to the truth as the Summer progresses.
Remember, Anthony Geary’s last air date as Luke Spencer is July 27h. That being said, we would think it is safe to assume that this mystery will be solved by that date.
Who do you think has taken Ethan and Lucky? Could Helena be behind all that is evil when it comes to the Spencer family?
General Hospital co-stars and fans of Tony Geary have been preparing for his big farewell from General Hospital, as he is retiring from the show. His character, Luke Spencer is involved in his last adventure with his great love, Laura (Genie Francis). Everyone is tangled up in this story line as Luke and Laura set out to save their son Lucky (Jonathan Jackson). Jennifer Smith (Holly Gagnier) was contacted to lure Luke and Laura, and mke them aware that Lucky has been captured. We will soon be seeing Holly Sutton (Emma Samms) and Ethan Lovett (Nathan Parsons) involved. Lulu (Emme Rylan) is currently in Port Charles awaiting any information on her brother. Tracy (Jane Elliot) was left broken hearted, in order for Luke to get his son back before it’s too late.
This story will mark Tony Geary’s last air date on General Hospital. That date has now been revealed as July 27th, 2015.
We have less than one month left with the iconic character Luke, and legendary actor Tony Geary on our favorite soap. Geary is excited to begin a new chapter in his life, and we at General Hospital Blog will miss him and wish him all the best.
Don’t miss a beat of this sizzling how drama this Summer on General Hospital!
Check out the video clip below of Tony’s last day on the set of General Hospital!
We all knew this day was coming, but it has really crept up on us all rather quickly. A few months back, General Hospital Blog shared the news that Anthony Geary had announces his retirement, after over 3 decades on the daytime drama, General Hospital. His character Luke Spencer is legendary to say the least. Geary and co-star Genie Francis made history as the infamous Luke and Laura.
Tuesday, June 22nd, Anthony Geary taped his very last seen as Lucas Lorenzo Spencer. Luke will be departing Port Charles later this Summer. It was an emotional goodbye, as his friends and cast mates bid him farewell after 37 years in the iconic role. Geary was surrounded by GH stars including Finola Hughes (Anna Devane), Leslie Charleson (Monica Quartermaine), Lynn Herring (Lucy Coe), Kristina Wagner (Felicia Jones), Kin Shriner (Scotty Baldwin), and more. At the farewell, friend Maurice Benard told Geary, “Not having you here is going to be sad for me.”
Anthony Geary has won 8 Daytime Emmy Awards for his role as Luke Spencer. He has called GH his home for 37 climactic years.
Leaving General Hospital is bitter sweet for Geary. Although it’s sad to say goodbye, he looks forward to what the future holds for his personal life and his career. Geary tells 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.”
As Geary walks away from the Daytime genre, he leaves 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.”
Anthony Geary and Luke Spencer will be greatly missed by us at General Hospital Blog. 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 Anthony Geary! We love you!
ABC’s General Hospital always has something to keep us at the edge of our seats. Many times, ABC likes to recap what they have declared the “moment of the day” for the most recent episode. There is no doubt that in yesterday’s thrilling episode of GH, the moment of the say revolved around what Luke and Laura disclosed to Lulu and Dillon.
Luke and Laura were forced to go to extreme measures in order to protect their son, Lucky. The secret has been revealed, the real reason Laura is in town is so that she and Luke can go on an adventure to save their son. Unfortunately, the two have to deceive those around them, especially Tracy, to try and accomplish this rescue.
Will Lulu and Dillon have to watch Tracy grieve with a broken heart over Luke while they know the truth, or will they tell her the truth to ease her tortured heart?
Jonathan Jackson is set to return to General Hospital along with Nathan Parsons, (Ethan Lovett), and Emma Samms (Holly Sutton), for this Summer’s sizzling GH story line.
Genie Francis is one fan favorite among quite a few that have been set up for a return to General Hospital as part of the farewell to Anthony Geary. Laura Spencer is essential to Luke, as they have made history together for decades.
Jonathan Jackson will be returning to GH to reprise his role as Lucky Spencer this Summer, but it will not be for an extended amount of time. The actor is currently on the ABC primetime hit, Nashville, and will be working on episodes for the new season. Nathan Parsons will also be making a return to GH as Ethan Lovett, along with his mother Holly Sutton, played by Emma Samms. These returns are believed to be short lived, and will play a major role in Geary’s exit, as Luke Spencer makes his way out of Port Charles.
Good news is that Genie Francis will be sticking around General Hospital even after Anthony Geary leaves the canvas. General Hospital spoilers have revealed that Laura will be sticking around Port Charles for some unfinished business. Perhaps she will be there to set her son Nikolas straight, or if General Hospital rumors are true, she may have to come to Lulu’s resuce with yet another Cassadine catastrophe.
After the tragic ordeal that drove Luke away from so many loved ones, he is finally feeling like himself again. He is on the right track, trying to make things right with the ones he loves. His daughter Lulu, and his love, Tracy, are first on his list.
Luke is ready to spend the rest of his life with the woman who adores him, who has stood by him despite all the things he has put her through. She was there for him when others weren’t, she believed in him when others doubted him. But now, the woman who has his past, his adventures, and his children is back. Laura Spencer, the love that made television history, Luke and Laura has a chance to reinent itself. Who will Luke choose? Will Luke choose Tracy, the one he currently loves, who saw him through his hardest times? Or will he choose Laura? The one who stole his heart many years ago.
As Anthony Geary prepares for his exit from General Hospital, there will be many surprise guests coming back for the big farewell. Luke and Laura’s son Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) will return, as well as Holly (Emma Samms), and their son, Ethan Lovett (Nathan Parsons). Prepare yourself for many twists and turns, and definitely some tears.
Keep watching GH’s sizzling Summer to find out what will come of Luke Spencer and his two great loves.
This Summer is going to be BIG for the people of Port Charles. General Hospital is losing a legend, and the residents of Port Chuck are losing a father, grandfather, a husband (sort of), a friend, an enemy, and much, much more. Things will never be the same in this fictional small town once Anthony Geary retires and takes Luke Spencer far away from his family and friends. Geary has given General Hospital 37 wonderful years and he is deserves a send off to go down in history.
General Hospital executives have already started leaking the names of GH fan favorites that will be returning to Port Charles as part of Luke’s farewell story. General Hospital spoilers have confirmed that Genie Francis and Emma Samms will be arriving in PC as Laura Spencer and Holly Sutton this Summer. GH rumors have leaned toward the return of Luke’s two sons, Nathan Parsons as Ethan Lovett, and Jonathan Jackson as Lucky Spencer, yet there hasn’t been official word of this GH casting news.
Word is that there will be more GH fan favorites making their way back to General Hospital this Summer to say goodbye to Luke Spencer. Luke’s long time friend Robert Scorpio played by Tristan Rogers has been rumored to be on his way back. Although he is currently on Y&R, it has been known for Rogers to make cameo appearances on GH during his work on The Young and the Restless.
Who else should make a come back to General Hospital for this Summer’s big event? Let us know who is important and essential in saying goodbye to the legendary Luke Spencer.
Get ready for the Summer of General Hospital that you will never forget. As we all say goodbye to a legend, fans and cast members alike will come together to wish GH’s biggest star, Anthony Geary, farewell. A couple months ago, General Hospital Blog reported to you that Tony Geary had announced he will be retiring from General Hospital and leaving the show for good. Geary’s character Luke has been in and out of Port Charles for years, making his adventure story lines that much more intriguing and mysterious. As we learned the deep, dark, history of the Spencer family upbringing, Lucas Lorenzo Spencer’s entire character came full circle. Anthony Geary felt that at this time, it is the perfect time for him to hang up the many hats he wore while playing the funny, caring, free spirited, selfish, loving, cynical, (and much, much, more), man that was Luke.
This Summer we will say goodbye to Luke Spencer, and we will have many GH favorites to help with the sad time. General Hospital spoilers have revealed that, along with Genie Francis, Jonathan Jackson will return this Summer to reprise his role as Lucky Spencer, Luke’s son, along with Lucky’s half brother, Ethan Lovett, played by Nathan Parsons. The two young men are set to tape their scenes at the end of June.
