Pardon an aging Devil’s fuzzy memory but….. did Curtis ever actually know Luke?? I’m thinking he came to town after Luke was already gone…. but Hell knows I’ve mentally blocked out all of that “Fluke” nonsense and the dragonshit exit story that ReRon wrote for Luke, so I could be mistaken.

I thought the same with Ava. Can’t recall her knowing Luke either, but being Nick’s wife that could be why she is there too.

FYI: when Ava was introduce on GH it was Luke who she first interacted with.

Can someone refresh my memory as to why Curtis is there? I don’t recall he and Luke sharing any scenes. Yes, he’s Laura’s friend, but that’s a stretch.

Figured Ned & Olivia would be there for Tracy. Lucy also had a quirky bond with Mr. Spencer.

As for special guests – just speculating here – I wouldn’t be surprised by Ethan popping in, even Skye and maybe even Lucky and Lesley.

Steve
Curtis just showed up as support for his friend Laura, because Kevin had a patient emergency. As in real life, there are always some questionable shows and no shows.

I do not believe that Luke is dead. I think that Luke is letting people believe that he is dead because something is going on.

I agree 100%. Nobody’s ever really dead in soap operas!

Exactly what I think. I don’t think GH will have a real ” good by” for Luke til he dies in real life.We shall see.

Anne
I don’t care if he’s dead or alive but why then has Nicolas’s Uncle admitted on the phone to someone that he neutralized Luke? I also don t think Luke had any say in the matter

Violet- Luke being neutralized does not mean he is actually dead. All that would be necessary is to convince Tracy that Luke is permanently gone. All the while, Luke could be locked up in an underground location.

Anne,
I didn’t mean that. I meant that Victor told someone that he neutralized Luke which does not necessary mean killed him so why aren’t people looking into other possibilities. Anna, for instance, if someone sneezes she’s looking to the WSB for answers, but not Luke’s “death”.

It is so hard to invest emotionally in fake funerals on soaps. We know Luke is not dead, we know Tony Geary is not returning unless he dips too far into his Savings. We just had Sonny back from the dead, Jason just fake died, Peter keeps returning from the dead, etc etc.

This “funeral” should be more about the characters left behind, and new story that can spring from it.

The witty banter and one-liners should make this a very interesting episode.

Why is Curtis there? To my knowledge, he and Luke never even met. Also, I’m surprised Lucas isn’t there given the fact that Luke was (still is, because he’s definitely not dead) his uncle. And what about Kevin? Wouldn’t he be there to support Laura? Speaking of which, it would be really nice for Lucky and Ethan to return to town, and for Lulu to wake up from her coma. The Spencers need to be reunited.

As For Luke, I think it’s only a matter of time before he turns up alive, probably being held captive along with Holly. I doubt Victor is working alone, which means there’s probably another Cassadine waiting in the wings somewhere. Who will it be this time? Stavros, Stefan or Helena back from the dead (again)? Or another villain from Luke and Laura’s past?

Where are Elizabeth and her boys? Aiden is actually Luke’s grandchild

Curtis is there but yet Liz the mother of his grandchild is not! This is one of the reasons I left this show. Don’t tell me about budgets don’t want to hear the crap you have budget enough for RH to play 800 characters! One life to live got canceled it’s time to grow up was it better then GH I don’t know I think it had filming in NY running it against it! Always has been about costs!

It does not make any sense to have the funeral without either one of his sons there. Poor writing. I don’t think Curtis knew Luke. This show is going down fast.

WHY AND EXACTLY. GH apparently OPENED THE NEW DOOR TO NEW,
WRITERS… YOUNG, HAVE NO CLUE OF THE LONG HISTORY OF GH and DON’T CARE THEY are RUNNING GH INTO THE GROUND for some disgusting reason. I HATE THAT THEY INSIST ON DRAGGING SONNY IN THE SAME STORYLINE WITH THAT RIDICULOUS NINA COME ON PRODUCERS BEFORE GH GETS CANCELED.

Lucy shouldve been there..her and luke were good freinds..and lucky?? Ethan?? Hello?? Are the writers getting amnesia? These folks shouldvebbeen there!!!!!

There is no sane reason to, out of the blue, to kill Luke off..
What would be a logical purpose to kill off Luke= none.
I do not believe Luke is dead–
To bring Luke into a story, after all these many years,
is asinine..
Luke’s death is a fake-out–

Rule #1 on General Hospital:
If there was no body recovered, then they’re not dead.
Rule #2
Sometimes even if there is a body recovered they’re still not dead.
It’s a clever backdoor the writers use in case the characters or the actors that played them need to come back to a particular storyline. If Anthony Geary ever decides to come back the writers will jump at the opportunity.

Agree with those rules. Luke is not dead at all.

Couldn’t sleep the other night so I watched a few of the old Nurses Ball videos on Utube, mainly Luke Spencer and Bobby Disco dancing. Then way back when he was one of the pips, also some others. I didn’t know this man could dance.

Wow, Violet, you are brave.. watching those Nurses’ Ball episodes without Pepto-Bismol nearby. But I love nostalgia so I may follow your lead. Probably better than those silly prime-time reality shows they’re foisting on us. I loved Chase’s DICK TRACY number from three years ago. Talk about sexy! And my 87 year-old mum loves Lucy’s numerous gown changes. It’s like a Diana Ross concert… some gals really know how to wear clothes properly. That’s one reason I love when Diane Miller is on…Carolyn Hennessey has great style, too.

Soaphound
I honestly just loved some of the previous performers and watch those a lot over the years. I love Kathleen Gatti, especially when she sang Always On My Mind to her kids. Made me cry and my other tear jerker was Sonny and Max singing The Summer Wind. To me that was the most poignant father and son thing, especially Max of course. I loved Bradford Anderson/Spinelli singing to Maxi and the little red head he married. Again, I so enjoyed Dr. O singing GUILTY with Franco and watching Elizabeth’s expression. I really enjoyed Ava singing You Don’t Own Me.
Now, I can go on but I can hear you saying ” oh God, why the hell did I say anything to her?” I adore Carolyn Hennessey and I saw the most interesting and lovely, crazy side of her on Sonny’s show State Of Mind, if you can put up with him a while.

I was disappointed with this memorial for Luke. It could have been so much better. This felt like “oh we need a memorial for Luke ” so throw something together. It came off as hastily written and bringing in all of the side stories like Sonny and Scotty fighting and the discord between Nicholas and Spencer added nothing. Again, it could have been a really good episode.

THIS WEEK on GENERAL HOSPITAL: Dex and Josslyn’s Relationship at a Crossroad, Jason Contacts Diane For Help

Previews for the week of March 18-22nd on General Hospital, plus the latest promo for the daytime drama series, share that Jason’s (Steve Burton) return has already affected so many lives, especially given the fact that several key people aka Michael (Chad Duell), Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) and Danny (Asher Antonyzn) know his location at this moment.

Eventually, Jason (Steve Burton) will get in touch with Diane (Carolyn Hennesy), from what one can only assume is legal help. However, John (Adam J. Harrington) seems hot on Jason’s trail, but the question remains, if Jason was working for John as seemingly revealed in a flashback to keep out of prison, are the two working together … or are they mortal enemies?

Meanwhile, it looks like its curtain for now in the relationship between Dex (Evan Hofer) and Josslyn (Eden McCoy). After Nina (Cynthia Watros) dropped a bombshell about Cyrus (Jeff Kober), Joss gets an earful of information from Dex, when he admits that he was in Cyrus’s hospital room to kill him on orders from Sonny (Maurice Benard).

According to Soap Opera Digest, Eden McCoy shared, ” I think what’s different about this situation, and what pushes her over the edge, is that it wasn’t, like, a self-defense situation. It wasn’t at a shoot-out. He wasn’t protecting Sonny. Cyrus wasn’t doing anything! And I think that really scares her, to see him in the light of voluntarily killing someone in their sleep. That is very different from, like, shooting someone that’s shooting at Sonny. She is just in shock, like she can’t actually believe it.” As told by McCoy, “At that point, Josslyn says.’I can’t do this anymore,’ and makes her exit.”

Take a look below at the rest of the official teasers for the week.

REPORT: General Hospital Alum, Robyn Bernard, Homeless & Battling Addiction, Before Her Passing at 64

Robyn Bernard passed away earlier this week on March 12th, when her body was found in an empty field, which is allegedly behind a 7/11, and some trailer homes, in San Jacinto, California. The actress and singer, and former General Hospital alum, played Terry Brock from 1984-1990 and was 64-years-old at the time of her death.

New reporting on the life that she led over the past year, and longtime mental health issues and struggles with addiction, paint a picture that may have led to her death. Although it should be noted, the toxicology report is currently not completed or released. However, the sheriff department stated that no foul play is suspected.

Now, according to the Daily Mail, friends of Bernard spoke on how she had become part of their homeless community, and that she she struggled with alcohol addiction, and had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia through the latter part of her life.

In their accounts, things went south for Robyn when in 2014 she moved to the community in San Jacinto, which is 84 miles from Los Angeles. At that time, she moved into a trailer park for senior citizens and was beloved for her singing by her neighbors.

The report also notes that in 2015, tragically, Bernard’s trailer park home was burned to the ground taking 7 of her 8 beloved cats and all of her possessions. After that, Robin stayed with many people of the community, but the previous management chased her off of the premises. She then broke up with her boyfriend and eventually stopped communicating with her parents.

Bernard’s final home was in a community called Parkview Estates, facilitated by Riverside County’s Adult Protective Services Department.  According to police records obtained by Daily Mail, through 2017-2019, Bernard faced numerous DUI drugs and alcohol arrests during that period.

Joni Woods, who lives opposite the space where Bernard’s trailer once was said: ‘I used to see her (Robyn) around town all the time pushing her shopping carts. She always had four or five of them, and I always felt so bad for her.” Robyn’s former boyfriend, Dan Berlin, expressed that the last time he had seen the GH alum was two years ago, “She was out there, talking to herself in a nonsense way. She was a schizophrenic.’

The friends of Bernard shared: “She used to say that Hollywood screwed her over,” adding, “They did her dirty and that’s why she ended up living in San Jacinto of all places.”

Share your thoughts on this tragic story of the last part of Robyn’s life, which again, stresses the importance of trying to find the appropriate help for those dealing with mental illness, being homeless, and addiction.

While ‘General Hospital’s’ Dante Lays in a Coma; Dominic Zamprogna Has Some Great New Portrait Headshots

On General Hospital, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) has thus far survived two bullets to the chest, and is laying in a coma. Sam (Kelly Monaco), his lady love, is by his side and beside herself after learning her ex Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is alive and is of the belief that Jason have been the shooter who tried to take out Dante.

Sonny (Maurice Benard) has been wracked with guilt after he wasn’t so kind to his son, before the PCPD cop got shot. Meanwhile, Jason is hiding out at the Quartermaine boat house trying to recover from the gun shot wound he received.

While Dante’s life is still hanging in the balance, it appears that his portrayer, Dominic Zamprogna, took a diverse range of headshot and portrait photos under the eyes of talented photographer Jackson Davis. The photos were posted on Davis’ Instagram account.

A few former GH castmates commented on the photos including Marc Anthony Samuel (ex-Felix) who expressed: “Dante, Dante, Dante…,” and Mark Lawson (ex-Dustin) posted, “Dom!!!! Handle yo’ biz.”

Zamprogna joined General Hospital back in 2009 and has been nominated four times for a Daytime Emmy Award throughout his time thus far on the ABC daytime drama series.
