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.
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.

As General Hospital, Tony Geary, and Luke Spencer fans, we know that it has been a long road to recovery for the legendary GH actor. Anthony Geary underwent invasive back surgery, causing him to be unable to work on the set of General Hospital for several months. At one point, he wasn’t certain if he would ever be able to return to his role as the iconic Lucas Lorenzo Spencer, on ABC’s General Hospital.
Anthony Geary sat down with ABC’s Sandy Kenyon, a huge fan of General Hospital, to discuss the challenge of his medical condition and the effect it had on his work on GH. Geary talks about Luke’s current story line, involving his alter ego, Fluke, aka Fake Luke.
Listen closely as Sandy Kenyon discloses a HUGE General Hospital spoiler, revealing that Fluke is indeed all in Luke’s mind. There you have it fans, Luke is Fluke!
In the video, we also learn that Sandy Kenyon has filmed a cameo role on General Hospital!
There are many rumors circulating in regard to the true identity of the man impersonating Lucas Lorenzo Spencer, better known as the legendary Luke Spencer. The most popular guess or suggestion among fans is the character Bill Eckert. Bill Eckert was Luke’s cousin, therefore they have an uncanny resemblance to one another. This would make a lot of sense since he already shares Luke’s physical attributes.
There is supporting evidence that may help prove this theory to be correct. Back when Bill was in Port Charles he was part of the Cartel with Brenda Barrett’s Father Harlan Barrett. Since the bank roll connection lead to Barrett Enterprises, this could be yet another connection to it all.
In Friday’s episode of General Hospital Fluke spoke directly into the camera while answering Luke’s question of who he is. He responded to Luke by saying, “I have your face.” Could that be an inclination of his true identity? Since Luke’s cousin Bill Eckert literally has his face, is that what the fans were supposed to catch on to?
On Monday, when Bobbie was arguing with Julian, telling him to stay away from Lucas, Julian said something to Bobbie that got fans thinking. Bobbie told Julian he is too dangerous and to stay away from Lucas. She blamed him for Lucas being shot. At that point, Julian stated that he is his Father and that Lucas is in more danger from HER family now. Since Bill Eckert is Luke’s cousin, he is part of Bobbie’s family.
Other evidence supporting this fan theory is an interview from 1993. In an interview with Pure Soap, Tony Geary discusses his disappointment in the story line involving Bill Eckert and the death of the character. Since Tony Geary wasn’t too find of the character dying, perhaps this is GH’s way to bring Bill Eckert back for a while in hopes to redeem the memory of him.
Check out this video from 1993 and decide for yourself. Is Fluke really Bill Eckert? Comment below and let us know your thoughts!
