‘General Hospital’ to Pay Tribute to Anthony Geary Via ‘Loving Montage,’ Tristan Rogers’ Scorpio to Get ‘Proper Send Off’
In what has been a bit of tricky situation, ABC and General Hospital are planning to pay tribute to eight-time Daytime Emmy-winner, Anthony Geary (Luke Spencer) who passed away back on December 14, 2025 at the age of 78 with a ‘loving montage” according to Nathan Varni, ABC Current Programming Executive who overseas the long-running soap opera.
Over recent years, such as with the real-life deaths of Jackie Zeman (ex-Bobbie Spencer) and Leslie Charleson (ex-Monica Quartermaine), at the time of their passings, their characters were still alive on the GH canvas. In the case of Geary, Luke was killed off-screen in a cable car accident in Austria back in 2022. There was a memorial held in Port Charles for Luke back on January 21, 2022 after Tracy (Jane Elliot) returned to town, which also featured a videotaped message from Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers) from beyond the grave, and the return of Jennifer Smith (Holly Gagnier).
On January 1, 2026 ABC promoted and aired a rebroadcast of Geary’s final full episode of Luke, that originally aired on July 27, 2015, but that proved problematic as some fans in certain markets did not see it, and it was not up on Hulu later in the day as usual with all-new episodes of GH. In addition, the soap aired a memorial title card at the end of a recent episode, acknowledging Geary’s death. (Pictured below are those that gathered for Luke’s on-screen memorial in 2022).

IN LOVING MEMORY TO TONY
In a series of tweets, Varni took to X and explained to fans of the plans to honor Geary moving forward. “Our team is working on a loving montage to be included later in the month, keep an eye out.” Then when a viewers questioned the executive stating, “I am happy you did an end of the episode dedication for Tony, but did you do one for Tristan? I don’t remember seeing one.”
Varni replied, “Since the character hasn’t passed away on screen, writers are working on a story to weave into the show later in 2026 for a proper send off.” As fans know it was a one-two punch in 2025 losing both Rogers to cancer back in August at the age of 79, followed by Geary in December. On GH, Luke and Robert were best buds, their antics, their adventures were a part of the 80s hey day of GH and their relationship continued on for decades on-screen.

PROPER SEND OFF FOR ROBERT SCORPIO
In a now touching and ironic twist, before Geary’s death, he shared a statement with TV Insider on the loss of Rogers, expressing, “I have great memories of him and always will. I’ve always thought Tristan was a good actor, a very giving actor, and fun to work with. Working with him was an experience that I could always rely on to be funny, exciting, challenging, and infuriating — a perfect day’s work.”
Viewers last saw Rogers on GH in a surprise appearance in an episode that aired in July 2025, when Jason (Steve Burton) flew Sasha (Sofia Mattsson) around the world to safety with her baby Daisy in tow to keep her safe from whoever (Willow) was gaslighting her. They wound up on the doorstep of Robert and Holly’s home. The scenes marked Tristan’s last on-screen appearance on General Hospital. Later, Rogers would show up on The Young and the Restless in his last appearance on network television in his other memorable soap role of Colin Atkinson on the August 26, 2025 episode of the CBS soap.
So, what do you think about how General Hospital is planning on honoring Tony Geary with a montage as its next step in tribute to him; especially given the characters of Port Charles already said goodbye to Luke when he died in 2022? Are you glad that the ABC/GH exec confirmed there is a send off coming later this year for Robert Scorpio to honor Tristan Rogers?
One thing that came to our minds for Tony and Tristan, was something that The Young and the Restless did very effectively when they honored their icon, the late Jeanne Cooper (Katherine Chancellor) in a special episode, where the cast just sat around as themselves sharing memories in a special episode. Would that also interest you? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
GH needs to work in the death of Tristan Rogers/Robert Scorpio into storyline. Considering all the secret agent stuff that was part of the character’s world, I would think the character’s passing could launch a suspenseful mystery that affects Scorpio’s family, closest friends, and Port Charles.
As for Tony Geary/Luke Spencer, a simple episode that has Tracy, Laura, and others gathering in a favorite Port Charles spot on the occasion of his birthday or death anniversary would allow a touching tribute.
You would know that they are planning that If you read the post.
I absolutely think the cast should share their memories, of both Tony AND Tristan.
Yes to characters remembering both Robert and Luke. I like the idea.
The tribute to Anthony Geary was never shown in Champaign, IL on Jan. 1st as was promoted.
I think it’s a great idea to feature a tribute to Tony Geary. I would love to see montage featuring all the icon stories from Luke and Laura’s wedding, and more from the 80s, 90s and more. I also hope the Daytime Emmy’s will feature a special tribute to Tony Geary.
We’re still waiting for the promised show honoring Denise Alexander (Lesley).
That likely won’t happen until after Laura’s front-burner storyline wraps up.
The twist would be that Luke didn’t actually die in the Victor Cassadine commissioned ski lift accident was either held captive in some Cassadine dungeon and off camera, Robert, rescues Luke or Luke escape the ski lift alive was hiding (Tracey would not be happy that Luke didn’t let her know he was alive in that case) off camera, it will be said that Robert and Luke teamed up on a suicide mission which will take down or greatly cripple Sidwell and his partner and their plan and go out in a boys, glory heroes together.
Yes! I too would love something like this. I think one of the Cassadine men said after Luke was supposedly killed “now that Luke has been neutralized” or something to that effect…which in Soap speak usually means “not necessarily dead.” I’d love to revive him and he and Robert go out in a “blaze of glory”…not sure I like a “suicide mission” but some last valiant caper together that leads to them both going out…in true form. I’ve never liked that they just unceremoniously killed Luke off, off screen. But then, how else would they explain he and Tracy remaining apart, I guess.
Robert and Luke teaming up to permanently stop Sidwell and all others trying to destroy or take over Port Charles from information Luke has gathered from the Cassadines (who always knew everything happening in the world ,especially in Port Charles of course) my version of what happened with alot of the serious problems in Port Charles the Cassadines had a hand in it all. all the big name criminals were following orders from them. Who better to take them all down Luke and Robert of course. May be strange and weird to have doing all that with using AI, but I personally would love to see them doing all that up to their final blaze of glory. with all the times that Luke brought down Frank Smith,then Robert came to Port Charles undercover to find the ice princess. they eventually teamed up to bring that down. then laura dissappeared,they teamed up again to not only to search for laura but to fight off the maletise I guess they were called t6hen the oil caper when holly came on the show, I’m sure ya’ll know what else happened from there
Hulu did in fact make Luke’s final episode available! You had to change the season in order to view it.
Really? How?To what season?? …I’ll have to look, since it’s just one week today., before it goes away.
I think they should have cast members remembering Anthony and Tristan!
Yes I recall how Y&R honored Jeanne Cooper. Hope GH does that too with Tony and Tristin
What about the actress who played Lesly Laura’s mom
Anthony Geary saved GH so he deserves to be honored as do Tristian Rogers and the others who passed.. I say do everyone but make special time for Anthony. I like the idea of the cast just being themselves and talking about this past year of tremendous loss on GzH
They dropped the ball, they know it, now they’re back peddling!
Just how did they drop the ball?
Two incredibly charismatic actors who generated magic in their adventures together. They should produce a montage of Luke and Scorpio clips that would serve as a homage to both of them.
They should do it in a script on the show. Example….Laura emotionally thinking about Luke while on the dock…seagal sounds in background, the buoy bell sounds…her beautiful smile….then the montage. Trust me….it would be magic. Cloudy day, then at the end, the sun comes out….(something like that). Not that the actors sitting around paying homage wouldnt be nice “too”. It would. I just feel like the show needs to do more. His body confirmed, etc… Something. Again, Laura on dock…montage memories.
I would love to see the ice princess storyline to be replayed without any commercials or ads and no editing on the length. I know you tube has those on there but they all seem to be edited. from when Robert Scorpio first appearance to as far as possible with all storylines with Luke. they have made the best duo ever as friends and partners in what ever they do together

‘General Hospital’s’ Tabyana Ali on a Potential Kai/Trina/Gio/Emma Quadrangle, ‘I Don’t Think That’s Impossible, But That Would Be Messy’
On recent episodes of General Hospital, music executive Simon Craft (Grady Eldridge) has been pushing and demanding that Trina (Tabyana Ali) and Gio (Giovanni Mazza) play up a faux relationship when they are onstage, or in front of the camera, to add to their allure as new recording artists to his label.
Simon knows full well that Gio is dating Emma (Braedyn Bruner), and Trina is with Kai (Jens Austin Astrup). It was apparent from the start, that Kai seemed a bit more comfortable with the “arrangement” understanding this was for business, and not pleasure, while Emma initially didn’t like the idea.
Now with Trina’s stalker story in full gear, and as fans eventually find out who is completely obsessed with the budding young singer, while initially seeming to be Simon that would seem to be too easy of a choice. But is GH toying with the idea that somehow Gio and Trina get stuck in a situation and one thing leads to another and they develop feelings one another, too?

SIMON’S MANUEVERS
In addition, after Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Sidwell’s (Carlo Rota) beatdown at Pentonville, where everyone is accusing Sonny (Maurice Benard) of ordering the deed, will this find Gio and Trina on the same side, believing it’s Sonny, or will Gio end up sticking by his grandfather when by week’s end he was also questioning if he was telling the truth?
During a new conversation on the Michael Fairman Channel, Tabyana Ali shared her thoughts that if Gio and Trina were pushed closer together, what that would mean for their relationships with Emma and Kai, respectively.

MUSICAL CHAIRS?
Pondering the soap staple, Tabyana exclaimed, “Oh, my goodness. Who knows? I mean, quite honestly, I don’t think it’s it’s impossible, but, oh, wow! That would be messy!” Ali added that its something that could be quite intriguing to play. “There’s a part of me that wants it to happen just to see, how does it play out? Right? Then, there’s another part of me that’s like, “You can’t do that to Emma and Kai.” That’s so wrong,” believed Ali.
However, Tabyana did admit a complicated love story wasn’t far from her mind. “Originally, I wanted something like a quadrangle. I really wanted that to happen. And if this is a moment where it could happen, I think that would be fun too.”
When asked to tease what’s coming up for Trina in the next several weeks, she offered up three words. Things for her will “(get) Suspicious, (be ) spontaneous, (and) very dangerous.”
So, do you think the GH writing team is teeing up a situation where Trina and Gio become more than friends and musical artists together? Would you be down for it, or be against it? do you like Emma with Gio and Kai with Trina? Share your thoughts via the comment section, nd in case you missed it, check our chat with Tabyana below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny Tells Dante, “I Don’t Want a Son Like You,” While Michael Tells Brook Lynn to Bide Her Time Till Chase and Willow Have an Affair
On the Thursday, October 1 episode of General Hospital, both Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) had some things to say and what they had to say didn’t go over well with whom they were talking to!
Sonny had a confrontation with his son, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), while Michael leveled with Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) over Chase (Josh Swickard).
GH is setting up a scenario where everyone is going to make it look like Sonny was responsible for having Sidwell (Carlo Rota) beat up in Pentonville; while viewers already know Ava (Maura West) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) were behind it.

A VISIT WITH DAD
Now, Dante comes to Sonny’s house. He wants to know straight up from his dad if he ordered the attack at Pentonville. Sonny flatly denies any culpability or responsibility, but Dante refuses to believe him.
Dante informs Sonny he has video footage of Sully and Vito at the prison. Sonny explains to Dante he doesn’t know why Sully beat up both Curtis and Dante. Things escalated when Sonny was deeply hurt that Dante refused to believe him. Dante says he was disappointed that his father didn’t respect him enough to be truthful with him!
Sonny asks Dante to consider that he was being set up. He says all he did was to tell Vito to instruct Sully to keep a watchful eye on Sidwell, not to harm him. No matter what Sonny said, Dante continued hammering him with how he knew deep down, even though he said he left the mob, he had to finish off Sidwell for himself.
Next, Sonny explains everything he has ever done was to provide for and to protect his family. Dante fired back that he doesn’t want to deal anymore with Sonny’s half-baked truths. As the two men argue, Gio (Giovanni Mazza) shows up at Sonny’s front door and overhears Sonny losing his temper and shouting at Dante, “Get out of my house! I don’t want a son like you!” The scenes featured an excellent performance by Maurice Benard.

MICHAEL THE MANIPULATOR
While this is going down, outside the Quartermaine boathouse, Brook Lynn opens up to Michael about living at the Q’s with Chase being there, since he only came back due to legal advice from his lawyer, Monet Mitchell (Blythe Howard).
Brook Lynn questioned whether they should get legally separate. Michael insisted that would be a big mistake. When she asks why, Michael tells Brook Lynn to bide her time until Chase and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) have an affair; then she’d have full custody of Phoebe.
An angered Brook Lynn pushed Michael into the water and accuses him of moving Willow back into the gatehouse with intent on putting Chase and Willow in closer proximity and sacrificing Brook Lynn’s family in the process. As the two cousins bicker, Chase shows up asking Brook Lynn if she is OK. Michael punctuates their talk with “You know, I’m right.”
CURTIS FIGURES OUT A WAY TO GET OUT OF THE SLAMMER
At GH, Willow visits Curtis (Donnell Turner) in his hospital room. Curtis wants Willow to get him pardoned and keep him out of jail, and in return, he will help her nail Sonny.
Next, Willow tells Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) she wants Curtis held for observation for three more days. He agrees to do so under one condition, that she understands that he may need to call in a favor from a congresswoman.
So, what did you think of how Dante accused his father and refused to believe Sonny’s answers? Is this the end of their father and son relationship for good? Is Michael the most manipulative person of all, except for Willow? Do the two deserve each other? Do you want Chase and Willow to have an affair? And what of Curtis? Does he have many redeeming qualities left? Share your thoughts via the comment section, but first check out the talk Michael had with Brook Lynn.
