Luke Leaves July 27th

Tony Geary will last be seen as Luke Spencer on July 27th and fans are holding their breath waiting to see how it all ends. As for Tony Geary, he seems very ready to live full time in Holland where his celebrity is no big deal.

In his career as Luke Spencer, Tony Geary has been the recipient of 8 daytime Emmy awards for a role that originally was meant to last only several weeks. He was a part of the super-couple whose 80s wedding was one of the biggest daytime moments EVER!

For some crazy reason, fans fell in love with Luke and Laura's story even though this love story began when Luke raped Laura on the dance floor of his campus disco. Luke Spencer was not a nice guy and I don't know why fans love him. Laura tried to tame him but there's no taming Luke.

Even when writers broke up Luke and Laura and eventually paired him with upper-crust Tracy Quartermaine fans still enjoyed the adventurous scoundrel'S antics. It wasn't until the recent torturous story where Luke wasn't really Luke that fans began to hate Luke Spencer or at least what the writing staff at GH had done to him.

Luke cracked under the pressure that he was traumatized by holding in the horrible secret that he had killed his parents way back when. Was it this story that finally made Tony Geary say it's time to retire or were the writers trying to challenge Tony by writing this story for him?

Long-time fans of the show have been disgusted by GH in recent years. Characters acting out of character and too much of the mob stories that first started way back when Luke first came on the scene. Luke started as a mobster - remember Frank Smith? Luke managed to leave the mob and go on and hopefully GH will remember that there can be life after the mob and do the same for Julian Jerome.

What the future holds for GH is unknown as the only daytime show left on ABC, July 27th is the end of an era with the departure of one of daytime's most favorite characters.

As for Tony Geary, it sounds doubtful to me that he will ever return, even briefly, unlike Jonathan Jackson who went on with his career starring on "Nashville" but is making a brief return to GH to help send off his tv dad. Tony Geary almost sounds ungrateful to the fans who helped make him one of the highest paid actors on daytime television with perks like having summers off so he could live in Amsterdam during his extended summer vacations. Yes, daytime was very good to Tony Geary.

Hopefully GH will be good to the fans of Luke and Laura and give us closure that we deserve for hanging in there through the awful Luke's breakdown story.

What do you think about Luke's exit?

Lucky is Returning!

Jonathan Jackson will be returning as "Lucky" this summer as a part of the story that sends off Luke Spencer. Also returning will be Luke's other son (with Holly) Nathan Parsons will return to his role as "Ethan".

Not quite sure how they will be sending off Luke Spencer but with the characters of Laura, Holly, Lucky and Ethan returning it should be interesting.

On yesterday's show, Tracy declined Luke's marriage proposal but did agree to a 30 day engagement period where Luke promised to prove to her that he is indeed a "changed" man.

Tracy's son Dylan returned and make his mother question her trust in him much to Luke's disappointment. Before Dylan showed up would Tracy have trusted Luke enough to jump into yet another marriage with him?

How will Lucky's return play into Elizabeth's current story where she is keeping the truth from everyone about Jason? Lucky has been an absentee father to their son for a long time now. Will Elizabeth call Lucky out on that?

The send-off of Luke is supposed to happen fast (a refreshing promise to viewers who have been disgusted by drawn-out stories) and hopefully it will do justice to who Luke is and not to who Luke has become.

Anna Devane will be leaving for a few months but will return.

Seems to me that there will be some shake-ups coming as Sloan promises to bring down the mayor and reveal Nikolas' role in fixing the mayoral race.

The future of ELQ looks bleak with Nikolas now holding the shares he needs to takeover the company.

Michael and Morgan call a truce which might turn Michael back into a more likable character instead of the screaming irrational man he has become.

So after what we thought was an assisted suicide, Ava really is alive? Does Denise not remember or is she just playing with Silus?

How will she escape going back to prison?

Jordan is now the new police commissioner and Lulu has to deal with her cousin Valerie working with Dante.

With Dylan back in town will Lulu be tempted to rekindle that old relationship?

Looks like trouble in the Falconari marriage. Speaking of trouble, how will Olivia deal with living with her lie about her baby?

So much to come this summer.

What are your thoughts on the return of Lucky, Ethan, Holly and Laura?

The Return of Luke



The past couple of days (heck- WEEKS) of GH have been quite disappointing. I don't think too many fans are on the edge of their seats waiting to find out the real story behind Ava's look-alike or why Rick is so desperate for money that he married crazy Nina.

Today we saw the return of Luke. As many fans know, Anthony Geary has chosen to retire from his role as Luke Spencer and this decision has caused the writers to wrap up a story and create a pretty hasty exit for this long-loved but almost-destroyed-by-bad-storylines character.

Word is that Laura is coming back and also Holly will be returning to take part in what is being called "Luke's final adventure". Here's to hoping that the writers will do the characters some justice and send off Luke leaving the fans happy with the end.

Meanwhile Anna has too much to drink and gets busy with Sloan. (the uncharacteristic act of killing Carlos has the formerly fiercely dedicated crime fighter feeling like a hypocrite)

Delia shows up at the police station just in time for the reveal of Denise' DNA results and tells everyone that Ava had a twin. Sonny has a hard time believing this but everyone else seems to accept Delia's revelation as truth.

(We SAW Silus administer medication to put Ava out of her cancer misery and silently go on without telling anyone- did this really happen and what will Silus do when he hears about her twin that could have saved her life?)

and in more ridiculousness...Rick goes to see Madeline who hired him to get Nina's money and spills that he married her daughter which she angrily reminds him was NOT a part of the plan. She then turns the tables on him and threatens him if he doesn't get her out of jail as promised.

Nathan tries to get Nina to see that marrying Rick was not a good idea but she blames his actions on Franco and further opens herself up for more trouble when Rosalie asks to meet her and she agrees.

Nikolas orders Rosalie to turn the tables on Michael by getting Nina to hand over the ELQ shares in his attempt to gain control of ELQ. WHY does Nikolas Cassadine even NEED ELQ??? Again another ridiculous story!

Morgan and Kiki are back together - but do we care? The re-cast of Kiki is annoying and who really cares about this character?

Julian has promised his family that he is out of the business for good and although he tells this to Sonny, Sonny still wants to find Duke's killer and will hold Julian accountable.

Word is out that Jake is an innocent man but still is a man with no memory. Nikolas and Elizabeth know the truth and Hayden who also knows that Jake is Jason is in a coma after Nikolas' hitman doesn't do a good job of silencing her.

Hayden is going to come out of her coma but will she tell what she knows or will she die without sharing the truth?

Sloan shares more than just a bed with Anna when he tells her all about the mayoral race and how Nikolas was behind fixing it. Anna is stunned by this news but not surprised because he is a Cassadine after all.

With Laura coming back to town will Nikolas continue to visit his darker side or will the presence of his mother cause him to come clean?

GH lately has been a show that many long-time fans don't recognize. Yes you might recognize their faces but their actions are so out of character. What do you hope will happen in the near future? How do you feel about Luke's exit?
