General Hospital Killed Luke Spencer, But Did They, Anthony Geary Could Return!

General Hospital Killed Luke Spencer, But Did They, Anthony Geary Could Return!

General Hospital spoilers hinting about the end of Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary) at first seemed overlooked. But then came the abrupt and final blow. And as fans watched in dismay, Luke’s death got revealed. 

But like all General Hospital characters, a death announcement doesn’t always mean someone’s gone forever. And that could turn out especially true when Anthony Geary gets involved. Find out how GH’s supposed killing off Luke Spencer could still open the door for Geary’s return below.

General Hospital Spoilers: How Did Luke Spencer Die?

The GH spoilers hinting at something dark about Luke Spencer did cause a few sharp-eyed fans to hope that Anthony Geary would return. But alas, Geary himself did not appear in the episode killing off his character. Instead, his latest bride Tracy Quartermaine, played by Jane Elliott, told horrified Laura, portrayed by Genie Francis, about the death.

RIP Luke and cable car! According to Tracy, a cable car accident in Austria resulted in Spencer’s death. But did that death result from an accident… or murder?! Spoilers indicate that Victor Cassadine, played by Charles Shaughnessy, crafted the so-called accident.

General Hospital Spoilers: How Anthony Geary Could Return

In July 2015, Anthony Geary stepped down as a full-time cast member of General Hospital. But he did show up once more in 2017 to support Tracy’s exit, noted TV Insider. And that return offers some clues about the possibility for Geary to return once more.

In addition to the fact that Anthony previously exited and then return, the actor’s own remarks about his career provide hints. Initially, in May 2015, Geary seemed to make his exit permanent. “I’m just weary of the grind and have been for 20 years,” stated Anthony. “I really don’t want to die, collapsing in a heap, on that GH set one day. That wouldn’t be too poetic.”

But just a few months later, the actor took home his eighth Emmy Award for his General Hospital role. At that point, Geary walked back his retirement remarks. “If the story is interesting to me and it works out, I may come back to the show for six weeks or so. I really don’t think we have exhausted what [Luke] can do. It depends on the writers and how far they want to look.”

And Anthony doesn’t stand alone in putting the ball in the GH writers’ court to figure out how to facilitate his comeback. Frank Valentini turned to Twitter to offer his own hints about Geary’s return. In his social media post, the GH boss implied that Luke didn’t really get killed in that cable car accident. Could an evil twin or cousin have died instead?! 

“New year – new romance – new drama!” tweeted the General Hospital maestro. “Is Luke really gone?” And with possibilities ranging from that supposedly fatal cable car accident turning out to have a survivor (Luke) or killing off a lookalike relative, we’re guessing that Anthony Geary could still return as Luke!

I guess that means Bill Eckert is dead again.

There is always a possibility of Helena escaping death, but whether or not she and Victor are working together is left to be seen. Things will become more clear when viewers are allowed to know just what Victor is planning for what he wants.

Luke, Laura and the Cassadines have major history. All of sudden Victor is back quietly orchestrating all kinds of creepy stuff related to them. He seemingly teamed up with Peter, then maybe backed away; but in the meantime, Jason is gone. He “flushed out” Laura, and then told someone phase two was ready after the alleged cable car accident. BUT! What if, somehow, some way, Luke found out Victor was back and reaking havoc on his “people,” so he faked his death and is coming back to take care of Victor once and for all.

I think this is all leading to a return of Luke -even if it’s just for a brief stay! But wouldn’t it be great to have the Scorpios (interesting that Felicia is back
Just now), the Cassadines, Laura, Anna, and (rumor has it) Lulu, all together again!! Could it be so??

Yes bring Luke back for a 6 week stint. Fans would love it.

I realize that many current GH fans weren’t watching back in the late 70’s when Luke Spencer first hit town (from what I’ve gathered here, many of them were not even born yet!). However, those of us that WERE watching immediately became captivated by the character of Luke and even more by the fabulous Anthony Geary.

I, for one, would LOVE to see Geary make a return ESPECIALLY if the storyline involved protecting his forever beloved, Laura. Laura and Kevin are boring, boring, boring!

FRANK VALENTINI: If there is a snowballs chance in h*ll you can woo him back, even for a short time (translation: longer than a cameo appearance and/or one show) MAKE IT HAPPEN!! You just might be able to get some of the fans back that have recently left GH who were/are livid after the firing of Steve Burton over this “vaccine mandate”.

I’d love to see Luke come back and stir things up for a few weeks.
Cassadines never win over Luke Spencer.
It would be great to see Victor’s face while Luke gave him ‘that’ look, it’s not a good sign for bad guys.
I miss Tony so much, and Port Chuck would liven up if he came back as a gift to fans,
