Erika Slezak Pays Tribute to Anthony Geary In Remembrance of the “Brilliant Actor” and Their “What If” Crossover
Erika Slezak, who for 41 years played Victoria Lord on One Life to Live and most recently returned to daytime in a new role on General Hospital as Monica Quartermaine’s sister, Ronnie Bard, has shared her remembrance of Anthony Geary, the iconic Luke Spencer, who passed away this past Sunday December 14 at the age of 78.
Geary, along with Slezak and The Bold and the Beautiful’s Heather Tom (Katie Logan) are the most decorated performers in Daytime Emmy history with Tony receiving 8 for his performances as Luke Spencer and Erika receiving 6 for her work as Viki. Meanwhile, Heather Tom has received Emmys and wins for her roles as Victoria Newman on Y&R, Kell and Katie on B&B, making Erika and Tony the only actors that have won that amount of Emmys for the same role on the same show!
In her statement, on her official website, Erika expressed, “I am so terribly saddened by the death of Tony Geary. He was a charming man, a brilliant actor and all together a very nice man. I send my sincerest condolences to his husband Claudio, and I will keep him in my prayers. We had such fun together when we did the What If crossover promotions in 2010. I thoroughly enjoyed him and loved watching him on television.”

What Erika is referring to is back in the summer of 2010, ABC daytime created short-form crossover meet-ups where characters from their daytime line-up crossed paths with another character from another soap. The series explored alternate realities. The ten-part series was originally streamed on ABC.com from July 12 to August 30, 2010 and was directed by then executive producer of One Life to Live, and now executive producer of General Hospital, Frank Valentini.
In fact, “What If” won a Daytime Emmy Award in the category of New Approaches – Daytime Entertainment. It was back in August 9, 2010, that ABC daytime aired the crossover between Viki and Luke titled, “Luke and Viki: Pain in My Heart,” and in it, the two characters are trapped in an elevator together!
More often than not, between Erika and Tony’s career, they were handing each other golden statuettes, because when it was time for Lead Actor or Actress to be presented, in the following year in which they won, they would wind up calling each other’s name to the podium after ripping open the envelopes. In fact, in a now absolutely poignant and priceless message to Erika back in 2011, when she celebrated her 40th anniversary as Viki on One Life to Live, Tony Geary taped for her a special video during a tribute on Live with Regis and Kelly!
Anthony said in tribute to Erika: “Pardon my appearance. Luke’s have a rough day,” Geary said in jest where he may have been battling a cold. “You know, when I first came on General Hospital 33 years ago, when Luke Spencer was unleashed on Port Charles, Viki Lord was already turning heads and given them hell in Llanview. I started checking out the competition, and I can tell you honestly that from that day to this, whenever I’m moving through the TV channels and I see an Erika Slezak scene, I stop. I sit and I watch your intelligence, generosity, and brilliance, and there’s no other way to say it … your class comes through every time. You’re an amazing actress and an amazing woman. It’s been my pleasure to get to know you a little bit, mostly at award shows. It’s been a lot of fun giving each other that little trinket back and forth. I hope we get to do it again sometimes. And then last year, I had the opportunity to finally work with you one day trapped in an elevator. It was heaven. I love you kid. Congratulations on a wonderful run on One Life to Live. I hope we get to work together again.”
Now below, check out Tony Geary’s anniversary message to Erika Slezak’s then 40-year run on One Life to Live, which clearly touches our hearts given his passing, followed by the promo for the “What If” series below that.
Then let us know, what did you think about the sentiments shared by Erika Slezak on the passing of Anthony Geary? Looks to us that these two soap opera icons had a mutual admiration society. Would you love to see crossovers such as this in 2026 with your favorite soaps and characters? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
Erika Slezak is always a class act. I remember the “What If” between Viki and Luke. I enjoyed watching two such powerhouse performers work together.
I’m pretty sure Jonathan Jackson has also won 6 Daytime Emmys for his portrayal of Lucky on GH.
I believe Jonathan does have six, Tony, has eight (most of any daytime actor). Erika has the most of any daytime actress.
I was about to say the same thing. Jonathan jackson was on the show a total of 9 years got nominated 10 times has won 6 for only playing Lucky spencer.

‘General Hospital’ Favorite Kirsten Storms Gives Update on Apartment Break-in That Caused “Unnecessary Custody Case”

Kirsten Storms (Maxie, GH) is sharing more details on the December 2025 apartment break-in and the difficulties she has had with the Tennessee police, plus how the original incident, according to the actress, played into her ex-husband, Brandon Barash (ex-Johnny, GH and ex-Stefan/Jake, Days) filing a restraining order against her and the custody case involving their daughter, Harper.
The popular actress had played GH’s Maxie Jones on and off since 2005, after coming to the ABC soap opera following her run as Belle Black on Days of our Lives. As GH fans know, Storms last appearance on General Hospital was back in March of this year. In recent episodes, the character of Maxie was written-out along with her entire family and Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) and relocated to Australia.
Now, Kirsten explained via Instagram and with shared photo of the December police report, which indicated Storms had placed a call to the Franklin Police Department to report a break-in at her Tennessee apartment. The report states that Storms was away from her apartment for about a week in August of 2025, and when she returned home, she found damage to the deadbolt on her door, as well as other missing items.

KIRSTEN STORMS SPEAKS OUT ABOUT CUSTODY CASE OVER HER DAUGHTER
Then, Storms fired back at naysayers in the ongoing comments on her break-in situation, stating: “Please do not tell me (or ask me) not to post these things. I’m hoping this is the last item I post (of the documents I have on the break-in at my old apartment in Tennessee). I’m only doing this because that lead to an **unnecessary custody case** being filed against me.”
It was back in April that TMZ learned, through obtaining of court documents, that Barash cited Storms for having mental health issues so he filed a restraining order against her. Kirsten expressed in her latest post, that she was asked to meet with a mediator in the custody case for her daughter, not a judge, and that her mental health issues were being used against her instead of people focusing on the break-in.
Storms added, “However, the break-in … followed by a ‘custody case/now mediation request’ where the break-in was the main reason for the initial custody filing, was unwarranted.”
PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH CHECK
Kirsten also shared on her health status,”I have always been proactive about my medical care (all aspects), as well as Harper’s (<—— the MOST important person to me). I’ve also been attempting to get checkups with a neurosurgeon/neurologist for my brain aneurysm and brain cysts. And tbh, I have a psychologist that I’ve seen for years, who I’m kinda attached too. She’s f’ing incredible and understands the kind of therapy sessions I need. Addressing what should NOT be the focus (mental illness), is frustrating for me”
You can check out Kirsten’s latest post on the custody matter, and her ongoing battle over the apartment break-in while in Tennessee below.
Now let us know, glad to hear from Kirsten and hear more of her side of the custody story and her ongoing issues with this apartment break-in? Let us know via the comment section below, and if you miss seeing her on-screen on General Hospital and hope one day she will come back.

Steve and Bradford initially developed their on-screen. and later on-stage chemistry on General Hospital when Spinelli, the computer nerd would help Jason solve crimes or infiltrate the bad guys software system on GH.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: An Arrest is Made in the Disappearance of Jack Brennan

This week on all-new episode of General Hospital, WSB agent Baines (Alimi Ballard) is on the hunt for the person responsible for the disappearance of Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). GH viewers know that a deceased Jack was buried six feet under by Ava (Maura West) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) after finding him dead and floating in the Metro Court pool.
