I love it!! Just fustrating trying to figure out who it is!!

He should’ve used the OUT in his contract.

Glad Tony Geary decided to stay on GH. Can’t wait to see who Fluke is!!

nope .never been a geary fan ,but a wish him good health ,

I loved the Fluke and Kiki scenes!!
they were out of box, shocking, and yet delivered with humor..

I really laughed over the ”donuts” ahahaha! some of Tony’s lines were really humorous.
It is FUN when everything is not a cookie cutter scene, that is what makes GH unique and it stands out from all the other soaps; it is not a cookie cutter soap….

Anyways, I am not one of the serious, that dissect everything, take all as creed and make the soap my personal world type, I like the off the wall stuff and I do laugh..
some scenes are really fun, those are the best.. 🙂 ..

I am happy TG is staying on!!! and I am happy he had a great time playing Fluke, it gave him new life ! He sounded so excited to be Fluke..!
He has done an excellent job, a wild and crazy ride !!!
Great acting, none better!!

RC and FV do their best to take care of their peoples!!

I LOVE the Fluke storyline. You can tell Anthony Geary is having a BLAST with it, which makes it all the more entertaining. Though I do hope his true identity is revealed soon.

Also loved the antidote about him and Kristen Alderson, concerning “LiKi”. LOL.

We have to put up with this crap till at least october? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I’m loving the Fluke story for the same reason– Geary gets to use his talents to play something totally different! Bummed he’s been sidelined until October, wishing him a happy recovery and a quick return to Port Charles!

Well I don’t blame him, if he did want to quit– doing any job for that length of time would wear you down and make you wonder if there is any challenge left in it— yet I am glad he decided to stick around and that he got a story line that renew his passion for his work. The biggest downside to this story is it is taking forever to find out who Fluke really is– in some ways that is good because soap is all about anticipation — but when delayed too long it just becomes annoying — so fingers crossed the reveal is going to be worth waiting for

Although there will come a day where GH will not have Tony Geary around. THIS is not the day and I hope that day is years and years away. When speaking to someone the other day, although TG is in a league all his own, we now have several who are not far behind him at all. That being Jane Elliott, Maurice Bernard, Nancy Lee Grahn, and now Michelle Stafford and Bully Miller. GH has a quality of actors that is second to none; so excited to see what is coming. But would not be nearly as excitd if TG was gone for good.

The Fluke and Kiki scenes were pretty creapy but not as gross as when K.A. was on OLTL where she was Starr and Mathew…played by her real life brother had a crush on her(Mathew and Starr werent related on the show but knowing the actors are real brother and sister made it the grossest subplot ever!)…I say keep Fluke and drop Luke…this is A.G. at his finest(i remember when he was on Bright Promise over 40 years ago!) Fluke could be GHs answer to Days Stephano Dimera?

As a long time Anthony Geary fan I’m thrilled he’s sticking around.
I’m dying to know who this Fluke is…..
As for him “grossing out” Kiki – yeah I’m a little grossed out too (he’s like 40+ years older than her.
But no matter – glad he’s staying put.
Hope his back gets better. 🙂 <3

I am very excited that he is staying!! I love Luke however I have to admit I am on the fence with this storyline. I hate the all the creepyness of him hitting on KiKi. I think they could have gone another way with that. I do like the fact that we don’t know who he is, although I have watched Luke for so long that I am having a hard dealing with this side of him. I hope that it is believable and worth my while and I hope that Anthony stays for a few more years!

Loving this plot and of course, Tony is doing a wonderful job and relishing every creepy moment. Everyone is doing a good job and it’s been really fun. Not so fond of Ava’s character. Wish they would kill her off already. My guess as to who Fluke is: Luke’s cousin, Bill Eckert . Anybody remember him? He impersonated Luke once before so maybe he is at it again.

I have to admit when fluke first came on and was hitting on Kiki I was gross out I hated the storyline and was so done with it plus they were taking forever but what turned it around for me was that brilliant episode wish finally showed us real Luke . All of sudden everything just came together in that episode not just for Luke but every other storyline on the show it became must see tv again and I’m really enjoying Anthony s outstanding performance .

OK, so here comes a minority opinion: I despise the Fluke storyline. It’s one of the reasons (along with the Nina storyline, the Ava storyline, and the production team’s irrational infatuation with Kathleen Gati/Dr. Obrecht) that I’ve decided to stop watching GH for awhile until its general level of suckage decreases.

We (current & former) GH viewers realize that Tony Geary is the show’s 800 pound gorilla, meaning he gets whatever he wants because he’s been with the show since the earth cooled and has won every award there is. However, that doesn’t mean that viewers should be made to suffer because GH management feels a need to kiss the actor’s septuagenarian ass.

To put it another way: How much of the character’s integrity and the audience’s goodwill must be sacrificed upon the altar of “Giving Tony Geary Something Interesting To Play?” Does “General Hospital” exist for the benefit of its audience or its employees?

The creepy interaction with Kiki waa definitely necessary. He isnt Luke he is supposed to be acting strange and his creepy equaled menancing in my book. When i was growing up watching soaps storylines were not wrapped up in three weeks. Suspense is fun instant gratification isnt always. Shame on any old school fans clamoring for a quick resolutiom to story or big identity reveal. SHAME

I adore Anthony Geary and he’s been stellar in the roll of Fluke. There’s not a hint of the real Luke (…why his daughter and wife don’t see it is hard to fathom, but hey, it works for the storyline) . He is an incredible actor and I’m delighted that he stayed. No one likes Fluke and he’s so much fun to watch, but I do miss Luke.

Glad the writers have given Anthony a storyline that’s challenging for him. Hope when all is known there is some redeeming quality for his character. Don’t mind scoundrel, but don’t like sicko so much. Hoping the best for his back situation.

Tony Geary is amazing. His scenes as Luke and Fluke met were so powerful. I’m thinking it has to be Damian Smith. Damian would have reason to want this revenge. If he hadn’t died in the fire, perhaps his face was so badly disfigured, why not plan revenge and get Luke’s face? This would tie into the early days of the Smith mob. When Fluke came out of his drugged state (faked) in Miscaivage, he mumbled about Sally and Max which were all parts of the Frank Smith storyline. That could be a coincidence but could have been a subtle hint. Can’t wait to see this storyline unfold – hopefully more happens before October!

TG has next year’s lead actor Emmy locked up. The scene where Fluke and Luke came face to face at Miscavage was brilliant. It’s wonderful to see TG being challenged as an actor, and I agree that the only one to out Fluke can be Luke!

Glad to hear Anthony Geary is sticking around. I had the feeling he wanted to play somethign different. The only downside is while he filmed scenes since he wont be back until October probably means we wont get the reveal of who Fluke is until November sweeps.

I’m very intrigued by all this, but I hope they offer the reveal of who Fluke really is during the November sweeps. It’s getting a little long in the tooth. One-way phone conversations just aren’t cutting it for me, so I hope we see those extra scenes he shot very soon.

I also hope Mr. Geary is healing well and fully recovers from his surgery.

I think Anthony Geary is one of the best soap actors out there (and have thought so since I started watching in 1978)! I truly miss him and wish him well in his recovery. Hang in the Anthony! You’ve got Frank B. Hill rooting for you.

As much as I love Tony Geary, I am not a fan of “Fluke.” At this point, I really don’t care who is hiding being Luke’s face. I thought the scenes with Kristen Alderson were awful-as with most of her scenes, it reminded me that she needs acting lessons. It seems as though she is put in random scenes because the writers don’t know what to do with the Kiki character. Kristen can’t hold an exciting and enticing storyline herself, so she is added to random scenes, it seems. Just a waste of air-time.

I would like Luke’s next storyline a reunion and restoration of the Spencer family. Bring them back, make them relevant again in a solid strong way. I miss the families and that interaction shared. too may are splintered and fractured. Had such hope with Genie Francis back on last year but… so brief. Hello Bobbie! More of her, please.

Kiki is soooo dull : she doesn’t deserve this much headline

bam

I love the Fluke storyline. It feels to me that he’s portraying him as who Luke would have turned out to be had he not met Laura, been close to his sister, had great kids, etc. That alone makes him fascinating.

Having said that, omg we’ll have to watch the drug ring/Fluke story go on and not even really pick up again until at least October?

I love the show these days but one of the things that GH has going against it is the stop/start nature of the stories… great momentum and then the story grinds to a halt (and sometimes doesn’t get picked up again). I realize that this is a product of having lots of great vets who the show can’t commit to (for financial reasons, or, in Geary’s case, for health reasons) but it’s a little maddening from a viewer’s point of view.

Wasn’t this the time there were hints at getting Luke and Laura back together? It’s really sad he is so against this. I know we all love Tracy, but some of us would still like to see Luke and Laura together one last time.

Tong G is a living legend. It was a great interview. Very insightful. Its nice to see a guy who has been acting all these years still have the passion for his craft and care about his character. Glad to hear Laura wasnt mentioned. It was refreshing. That whimsical story was so 1980’s and there is nothing else to tell. FLUKE RULES!

Man some people are tough on TG! Look, he has been there for a long time. He is the CEO of GH! He deserves big vacations and good stories. These are perks he has earned. Plus, be honest, the only time Kiki has been interesting and or tolerable on screen is those scenes with Fluke. It may be creepy but she is over 21 and old guys hit on younger women all the time.

As far as I’m concerned, Geary is the backbone of the show. I’d hate to see him leave, and just when I think I’m bored with Luke, there’s a new spin such as the Fluke storyline. If anyone should leave GH, it’s Sonny.

The one thing I REALLY like about this is.Fluke is gone for a long while and personally I hope TG is gone for good.Stick a fork in him he is done. His character is so FF to me no matter what he does on screen. A drunken grandfather who broke his sons heart by killing his son and didn’t feel guilty,so evul he left his daughter in a brothel trying to help him.Yea TG stay gone.

I think I would be less antagonistic toward the idea that they wrote a storyline to make him happy (i.e., kissed his *ss) if I didn’t suspect (strongly) that he’s the main reason we don’t have Laura back full time. He’s made it clear in interviews that he doesn’t want Luke and Laura to reunite and he feels “fans should move on”; I don’t think it’s such a big leap to conclude that that’s a factor in the decision not to make Laura a regular part of the canvas.

I also recall that the Luke-is-the-hit-and-run-driver storyline was the last administration’s attempt to keep him happy; he wanted to do something darker, and that’s what TPTB at the time came up with. And that ruined Luke for me–not the fact that he was the driver but the whole way they wrote Luke as basically unrepentant. I don’t need him to be a superhero, but I do need him to be recognizably human.

I don’t hate this Fluke story as much–I think it’s silly more than anything else, and I guess I’m just over lookalike storylines on this show, whether they involve masks or whatever.

Can’t somebody find a storyline that challenges AG as an actor but is more organic to the show itself?

Well I definitely didn’t know he had health issues, that was preventing him from working more normal hours like most. I am not happy the storyline must be put on hold because of him. But if it has to do with his health and not his selfish, spoiled nature, well nothing you can do about that but wait and wish him well/speedy recovery. I do hate that Genie Francis doesn’t get the respect and love she deserves from THTB at GH. Although, I am often annoyed to hear time and time again TG is off, while other actors must quit because the network with not work with them, especially actresses for additional time off for other projects. For me it would be difficult to see TG leave permanently because he is all that is really left of the vets on GH.

Personally, I really like Anthony Geary, and I’m glad he didn’t leave the show. Yes, Luke did fall into the background in 2013, but I don’t think this story is the one to bring him back to the forefront, because it’s not Luke, it’s Fluke, a guy that most of GH’s fanbase despises because of how sleazy and despicable he is. But, I guess that just goes to show how much of a powerhouse actor AG really is.

I just hope there’s a logical explanation to this story, and it’s not another mask debacle, because it’s getting a bit ridiculous with these lookalike stories. My biggest problem is that now that AG is on vacation, it means we have to wait months until the reveal of who Fluke is, which also means we have to deal with this sleazeball Mickey Diamond until then!

I love the story line and I’ve been trying to figure it out as well. I thought Bill Eckertt, then I thought that’d be too easy, but then they made poor Rafe so obviously the driver in the Patrick/Sabrina accident, so I thought maybe it’s not too obvious. Although, I never remember Bill being a coked up perv.

My one complaint is about Tracy. Tracy has been blind to Luke’s less than altruistic motivations in the past, but this? This is too much. I don’t believe she would be this easily fooled.

TG is rocking this story. Even though its been a very long ride, I’m totally invested. Fluke is such a welcome change from regular Luke. TG has been in the game so long, he needed something new and different. Glad he stuck around for this.

Just go home to Amsterdam. There isn’t any justification for this story line. Just the dame old thing.

Well I am shocked that so many people have nothing good to say about TG or Luke. I have been watching this show since day one (yes I’m 64) and TG is the best thing that ever happened to this show. He has saved Port Charles and GH more than once. Yes I love all the other cast members as well but who gets all the emmys and therefore the ratings. Just remember if TG hadn’t come to the show when he did and stayed with it there might not be a GH to watch right now.
