‘General Hospital’ Drops ‘Remembering Luke Spencer’ Promo Ahead of Special Episode in Tribute to Anthony Geary
- General Hospital airs a special episode in tribute to the late Anthony Geary and the iconic character he played of Luke Spencer on Friday, February 20.
- In the just released promo, characters participating include: Sonny Corinthos, Carly Spencer, Tracy Quartermaine, Elizabeth Webber, and Lulu Spencer.
- Executive producer, Frank Valentini previously teased, “We wanted to revisit some of Luke’s most iconic adventures and unforgettable moments, along with a few rarely seen ones.”
This Friday, every memory leads back to Luke Spencer as General Hospital gets set to air a special episode in remembrance of the the late Anthony Geary and the iconic character he played. The eight-time Daytime Emmy-winning star passed away on December 14, 2025 at the age of 78.
In the just released ABC promo, gathered at the pier lighting candles in tribute to Luke are: Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), Carly Spencer (Laura Wright), Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot), Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst), Laura Collins (Genie Francis) and Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening).
As a preview of the episode, the video teaser shows Lulu looking at a picture of Luke as she says, “Hi, dad.” After Sonny has a reflection and memory of first meeting Luke, we see Laura in a puddle of tears remembering Luke and expressing, “Thank you for the love of a lifetime.” In the promo’s final moments, Tony Geary is seen in Luke’s farewell episode from 2015, with his voice heard over the clips saying, “It’s time to go.”

General Hospital’s executive producer, Frank Valentini previously shared on the upcoming February 20 episode, “For decades, Tony Geary brought daytime television’s ultimate antihero, Luke Spencer, to life. We wanted to honor Tony and his extraordinary legacy in the most meaningful way possible, and this special episode of General Hospital gives viewers the opportunity to revisit some of Luke’s most iconic adventures and unforgettable moments, along with a few rarely seen ones. And who better to share those memories than the people of Port Charles who knew and loved him.”
Back on the January 23, 2026 episode of GH; a special “loving montage” was shown at the end of the episode as the first part of the soap honoring the contributions of Tony Geary. The montage included a few clips with the iconic star and cast reflections from: Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis), Laura Wright (Carly) and Genie Francis (Laura).
HOW LUKE ORIGINALLY DIED
In story, it was back in 2022 that GH decided to kill-off the character of Luke off-screen when Tracy revealed on New Years Day, that he has been killed in a cable car accident in Austria which later was revealed to be at the hands of Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy). There was an on-screen memorial for Luke in late January of that year.
After Geary retired from General Hospital in 2015, and moved full-time to Amsterdam to be with his now husband Claudio Gama, he only made one other final appearance and that was in 2017 when Tracy was written-off the canvas and went to Europe, after Jane Elliot decided at the time to leave the series. To write-off Tracy, Luke appeared for a quick scene in a coffee shop illustrating that the duo were together.
You can check out the ABC promo for Friday’s General Hospital entitled, “Remembering Luke Spencer” below.
So, are you looking forward to the remembrances and the flashbacks and some never-shown-before footage, plus some touching moments from the characters who had a past with Luke Spencer? Let us know via the comment section below.
This is awesome, only complaint is that they didnt include lucy!! She was good freinds with luke for years and it wouldve been nice for her to be included .
And Scotty. There’s no deep connection or history with this Lulu, this Carly, and barely one with Sonny (which for some reason,they want to push). The only ones involved who had a strong bond with Luke are Laura and Tracy. I don’t recall Lucy being that strongly connected with Luke the way you do. And honestly, Lucy gets on my last nerve with all of her rapid and breathless speaking.
The Sonny & Luke friendship was a real thing. They had similar back stories… raised in abusive homes. Turned to the mob for lack of a better option. Both of them started out running money laundering operations for Frank Smith (Luke had the campus disco, and Sonny had the strip club) and they took Frank Smith down together.
I do agree with you that Lucy being involved is a bit much as I don’t remember her being all that close to Luke. Lulu, on the other horn, is Luke’s daughter, so of course she should be there, even though this version of Lulu never had any scenes with Luke. And of course it’s a crime that Lucky won’t be there. Or Ethan, for that matter. Even though his existence was one of the dumbest rewrites ever.
Alexis (or Natasha, as Luke called her) should be included more than Lucy, actually.
Like @Larry Stephens, I had the same thought and recollection regarding Lucy. As for Sonny, I’m entirely with you, but the show for many years has wanted “to push” Sonny down viewers’ throats, always trying to make the abusive, murderous thug/mob boss more palatable, even to the point of Sonny having a “friendship” with Laura.
And to me, it was a travesty for Geary’s final episode to include scenes with Sonny, so that Luke could somehow pass the oversight of Port Charles onto Sonny, in other words, passing the leading man torch. It was all so contrived.
Not interested in characters way back. So tired of Luke Luke Luke and the bunch of afro hair style then. Need men with regular hair like Dante’s
Go lay down.
If wasn’t for “Luke Luke Luke” GH probably wouldn’t have made it past 20 years, yet alone almost 63.
1 sould love to see that. i remember when luke and laura firxt started and every thing.
I wish they would have gotten Lucky to come on. I love GH.
Lucky should of been included in this Tribute To Luke! It doesn’t seem complete to have Laura & Lulu but not Lucky given that when Luke & Laura returned to the story line after marrying it was with there children Lucky & Lulu as young kids! I remember this as a very important part.. not only the return of Tony Geary to the cast of General Hospital but as an intricate part of Luke’s life! But as they say..”And The Rest Is History!”
R.I.P. Luke Spencer (aka) Tony Geary
Lucky was the only non-current cast member shown in the episode.
I’m very put off by this. This character should not be celebrating; you want to celebrate Tony? I understand. But Luke? No, thank you.
Agree. We already saw a tribute to Luke, we needed a tribute to Tony and all his epic storylines; not to mention that Alexa Havins’ Lulu never knew Luke.
But what does the actress have to do with it. Whether you agree or not, this is a tribute to AG through the character of Luke. And Lulu is Luke’s daughter, so it’s obvious that she’d be included, whether it’s AH, ER, or JMB.
It’s their way of honoring both Tony and the character of Luke, who like it or not, was one of the most important characters in the history of the show. Yes, a character with a dark, complicated past punctuated by an ugly moment when Luke raped Laura. Something that has been acknowledged on the show in storyline form numerous times in the years since. But why wouldn’t they honor him, as they did Bobbie/Jackie, Monica/Leslie, and hopefully at some point soon Tristan/Robert? Tony and Luke deserve it. Sorry, I don’t get why anyone would complain about this.
In the cases of those other actors you mentioned, their roles hadn’t already been written off. Geary left the role of Luke in 2015, and the character was killed off in 2022, so it is not as if Luke is recently dead. Plus, continuing to try and glorify a rapist is off-putting to me.
Secondly, I’d have no issues with honouring Tony in the way that The Young and the Restless honoured both Jeanne Cooper and Kristoff St John. This is clearly filler content (as evident by its episodic number).
And they already confirmed they would be honouring Tristan Rogers at some point later this year in-story.
Cannot wait to watch the special episode hope it’s going to be really good hope they show good scenes with sunny and Luke Luke and Bobby and Luke and Carly and Luke and his children there will be no General Hospital if it wasn’t for Luke Spencer he made this soap opera what it was and what it is today his legacy will live on forever May Anthony Gary rest in peace ❤️
Punctuation is a wonderful thing.
Stop that.
Luke Luke LOL
Ha! Reminds me of a character from an old Cheers episode, Andy Andy.
I’m looking forward to this episode. I just wish GH would have included Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) in this tribute episode. I’m sure he’ll be included in some of the flashback scenes. Of course Laura and Lulu should be in this episode, but I’m happy to see they included Elizabeth. I remember some of the scenes Luke and Elizabeth shared after Lucky died and the scenes they shared after Jake died. But the storyline about Liz’s rape, which led to Lucky discovering his dad raped Laura, earned Daytime Emmy nominations for all three and Emmy wins for Tony and JJ. Sonny and Luke were business partners, co-owners of Luke’s club and close friends in the mid 90s. I don’t think Carly and Luke were ever close, but she is Bobbie’s daughter so it makes sense she’s there.
I love this! I remember skipping school to watch Luke and Laura’s wedding! He was an incredible actor and a true legend, may he rest in peace.
Where is Joshua Jackson as Lucky to say goodbye to his father Luke????
Maybe it to hard for lucky to say goodbye maybe that’s why he isn’t in it and plus Joshua Jackson is to busy plus he already greaving from his close friend from Dawson creek so mayb that’s why
You mean Jonathan Jackson.
I really wish they had done a story – some sort of mystery adventure that involved having to save Robert and Luke which could have brought in all the characters – Mac and Felicia, Anna and Robin, lucky, Elizabeth, Sonny,Lucy, Tracy. They could have built it up and had montages from the old days to lead to a celebration of both actors lives and contributions to the show.
Tristan deserves his own separate remembrance – which will likely come later this year as the show addresses Robert’s passing in a full story arc.
Luke has been considered dead in story for years now. Friday’s stand alone episode should be a nice way to acknowledge Tony’s legacy without impacting story.
The actual episode may have more character/actor participation than those shown in the promo, for all alleged “fans” already complaining about who’s in it/not in it before the episode even airs ffs…
My thing is yes Luke was a part of GH but what about Tristen aka Robert he has passed why not remember him?
Yes!! I cried for days after hearing and seeing he had passed. This will give him a proper send off and for fans/long time viewers of Luke and Laura a way to say a final good bye.
Also, I agree with other posts, you should’ve shown or gotten Lucky, Ethan, Nikolas and Scotty and any others that were on during Luke’s time- it would’ve made it so Luke’s “Family” all showed their respects for their father, friend, or what have you. I just hope it gives him a good send off. If not I’m gonna be expecting a stellar send off for Robert!!!!
General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?
On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.
If Anna Devane’s (Finola Hughes) new therapist on General Hospital looks familiar to you, it’s because actress Kearran Giovanni, who plays Dr. Nichols, previously played a doctor on One Life to Live!.
Viewers tuning-in to the Thursday, September 10 episode of GH got their first look at Dr. Nichols who has been brought in to help Anna recover from her PTSD and trauma following the reveal that she has been suffering from a break in reality since before being put in mental health facility in France, after being gaslighted by Cullum and company earlier in the year.
One Life to Live fans will recall that Kearran Giovanni played Dr. Vivian Wright in 2009, and it was then she first worked with current General Hospital EP, Frank Valentini, who at the time was at the helm in Llanview.

WHERE ELSE HAVE YOU SEEN KEARRAN GIOVANNI?
Giovanni appeared on OLTL in the recurring role through 2012 and in the final ABC episode of the beloved series was the the ob/gyn who delivered Destiny Evans (Shenell Edmonds) and Matthew Buchanan’s (Eddie Alderson) baby into the world, whom they named Drew Buchanan II after Bo Buchanan’s (Robert S, Woods) late son. In addition, Vivian has been dating Shaun Evans (Sean Ringgold).
In addition to One Life to Love, Giovanni has very impressive credits having appeared in numerous TV series and motion pictures including starring in the TNT drama Major Crimes from 2012-18, ABC’s Designated Survivor 2017-19, the CW’s Black Lightning from 2019-20. Most recently, Giovanni appeared on the Fox series, The Resident and has a recurring role on the CW’s crime series, Walker from 202-2024.
HEALING ANNA
On today’s General Hospital, after Anna’s harrowing meltdown where she almost shot and killed Dr. Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) after seeing visions of “Peter August” (Wes Ramsey), Jason (Steve Burton) saved the day and talked Anna down from committing murder. Now, Dr. Nichols was introduced as a valuable staff member at the hospital. Although, this marked the first time in the history of the show we have heard of her character.
So, do you remember seeing Kearran Giovanni on One Life to Live? Happy to see that Anna may have a qualified therapist in charge of her healing, unless the doctor turns out to be not on the up and up? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Anna Breaks Down in Front of Jason and Britt After Shots Are Fired
The Wednesday, September 9 episode of General Hospital featured top-notch performances by Finola Hughes and Steve Burton, as Anna holds Jason and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) at gunpoint on Mount Emerson.
Anna is not in her right mind as hallucinations of Peter (Wes Ramsey) overtake her, egging her on to shoot and kill Britt. Jason begs Anna to put down the gun, but it’s clear Anna is speaking to someone who is not there, but in a direction that is just past Britt.
Suddenly, Anna screams at Britt, “You’re just like your father!” Anna also tells Britt that she knew Britt was aware that she was locked up on Spoon Island and did nothing to save her. Britt turns to Jason and tells him she had no idea Anna was on the Island, “until Cullum showed up in Port Charles.” That declaration gave Jason pause.

“PETER” TAKES A BULLET
Next, Anna is overcome with angst, filled with tears and screams out, “I won’t let you beat me!” She fires the gun where the imaginary Peter was standing, as Britt screams and Jason dove to cover her. Now completely shaken, Jason took the weapon from Anna and ordered Britt to leave the scene as Anna collapsed in Jason’s arms.
Jason was so concerned for Anna. She reveals she’s been seeing visions of Peter August since France. Jason shared his theory with Anna that she was manifesting her worst fears about Faison. However he knows deep down Anna would never have shot Britt. Jason promises to come back and clean up the area, but would take Anna home first.

ANNA ADMITS TO EMMA SHE TRIED TO KILL BRITT
At Anna’s, Jason brings her in the front door as Emma is there. Jason tells Emma (Braedyn Bruner) he would like to return and spend the night. A confused and worried Emma get the full story from her grandmother.
Anna explains she tried to kill Britt and she is not as well as she was pretending to be in France. Cut to: Jason cleaning up the site of Anna’s plot against Britt on Mount Emerson. He moves over and finds bullet casings on the ground and examines one of them.
The story climax also signaled the end of the run for Wes Ramsey, who has been showing up on episodes over the last several months as Anna’s dark side conscience. Now that Anna was able to break the psychological hold visions of “Peter” had on her, it ends this latest return of Ramsey’s.
So, what did you think about the scenes between Anna and Jason? Do you think Jason and Britt’s relationship will come to an end now that seemingly Britt revealed she knew Anna was held captive after Cullum came to town? Glad to know Anna won’t be haunted by visions of Peter August anymore? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
