General Hospital ‘Luke Spencer Tribute in Honor of Anthony Geary’ Preview: Tracy to Lulu, ‘You And I Are Going to Honor Your Dad’
Today on the Friday, February 20 episode of General Hospital, the ABC daytime drama series pays tribute to it’s legendary star, Anthony Geary, when a very special standalone episode that honors the character he played, Luke Spencer, is broadcast.
As previously reported, at the epicenter of the story is Luke’s daughter, Lulu Spencer now played by Alexa Havins. When Luke died in a cable car accident a few years back, Lulu was in a coma that lasted four years. When she awoke, she learned her father had died, but never really dealt with his loss, until now. While Havins is the third adult actress to play Lulu (following Julie Berman and Emme Rylan), she sadly never got the opportunity to work with the late Anthony Geary.
Appearing in the episode are actors who had a long history with Geary, including Luke’s two wives through the years; the incomparable, Genie Francis (Laura) and Jane Elliot (Tracy). The tribute includes plenty of flashbacks that help tell the story of Luke’s life.

In the General Hospital video teaser preview for the episode, Lulu is looking at a photo of her late dad. Then, an emotional Lulu who is grieving Luke, gets some help from Tracy, who tells her, “You and I are going to honor your dad.” That sets the stage for the episode.
The video teaser also shared the previously released scene with Laura having a moment alone in the chapel telling Luke how important he will always be in her life, and for all that he did for her through their lives together, and later Sonny (Maurice Benard) with Carly (Laura Wright), expressing that “Luke was more than my friend. He was my brother.”
ACCESS HOLLYWOOD BEHIND THE SCENES WITH GH STARS
In addition, Access Hollywood visited the set of General Hospital during the making of the Anthony Geary/Luke Spencer standalone episode, where they spoke with Genie Francis, Jane Elliot and Maurice Benard.
Speaking to the camera about the episode, Francis explained, “I just wanted to pay tribute to him. The way he deserves to be. That was my prayer, my hope and what I tried to do. I think he was a genius as an actor. I think he was magical and he raised the bar for daytime, like nobody has in the past. I got to learn from one of the greats.”
Jane Elliot shared, “They’ve done a masterful job to mount story around these clips, that give the audience a wonderful experience of the character of Luke Spencer and the actor Tony Geary.”
You can check out the General Hospital tease for today’s episode below, followed by the Access Hollywood preview.
Now let us know, what do you think about the concept of the story that it is Lulu, who will be the one mourning her dad after never having the opportunity to grief him properly at the time he died? Are you looking forward to saying one last goodbye to Luke in honor of Tony Geary? What was your favorite story of Luke’s through the years? Let us know via the comment section below.
It’s sad how the loss of Tony Geary also amplifies the loss of Jackie Zeeman and Tristan Rogers. We could really use their voices narrating about their characters’ (Bobbie and Robert ) interactions with Luke. I am sure there will be memories of extraordinary action or classic romantic scenes, but what stands out in my mind are the quieter scenes where Geary’s personality and sense of humor breathe through Luke. Tony could be both funny and touching with his ad-libbing and comedic pacing. For instance, Bobby, his baby sister, was sulking at the steps of the Brownstone on her birthday. Luke joins her, and she goes on a long rant about how upset she was that Tony, her husband, gave her a certificate for a spa retreat, indicating that she needed to lose weight. At one point, she tearfully and angrily refers to Tony as sending her off to a “FAT FARM!”While she is tearfully emoting to Luke, her husband, friends, and Carly (then played by a young Sarah Brown), blithely unaware that Tony’s birthday gift had publicly mortified Bobby, are all carrying on with her birthday party upstairs in Bobby and Tony’s apartment. While she rants, Luke just listens without saying a word. When she is finally done venting, Luke is quiet for a minute, deep in thought. Finally, without missing a beat, he exclaims,” Tony wants to send you to a FAT farm!!!? That is OUTRAGEOUS!” Bobby bursts out laughing, and thus, her big brother succeeded in cheering her up by offering both humor and validation. The brother-sister dynamic between Bobby and Luke felt grounded in reality. I wish I could find a clip of this scene on YouTube, but it’s hard to find the understated quiet moments from GH’s yesteryear.
I wish we could have had a few scenes with Bobbie and Luke, Carly, and even Aunt Ruby. I did enjoy what was presented… all the same.
I just watched. They did a beautiful job in a short amount of time. I appreciated how they juxtaposed Alexa Havens into the scene of Luke telling Lulu (played by ER at the time) that she will always be his baby girl and ending with Luke walking off into the foggy docks of Port Charles.
It was a beautiful episode. I was impressed with everyone involved. But Lulu, Tracy and Laura especially stood out. Also glad they included Elizabeth who just seems incredibly underutilized to be such a legacy character.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: If Jason Leaves the Mob, What Will He Do Next?

As had been teased since Jason Morgan’s (Steve Burton) captivity by the WSB and his release on General Hospital, he is clearly having issues speaking about what happened to him, after he was dragged away from Port Charles when he took the fall for Rocco (Finn Carr) who shot WSB director Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes).
Now. as Jason tries to reacclimate to life back in Port Charles, he has already displayed that he wants to do better for his son, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) and the people he loves and to show up for them.
In addition, things took a turn on the Friday, July 31 episode where after Sonny (Maurice Benard) questioned Jason if he was having an issue with Ric (Rick Hearst) working side by side with his half-brother, Jason had something to say.

An emotional Jason tells Sonny, “I can’t work for you anymore.” The moment left Sonny dumbfounded, and viewers won’t know the pick-up of the conversation till Monday’s August 3 episode of GH.
Could it be that this time Jason will cut ties with Sonny and the mob for good? If so, it would be the end of an era for Jason and Sonny, sort of the Batman and Robin of GH with a twist.
Previous teases from the GH co-head writing team of Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte, and Burton himself on his podcast That’s Awesome ,seem to indicate there is a change coming for Jason that sends him off in a different path in his life.
However, we should learn Jason’s reasons shortly, and if Sonny can talk him back into the mob, or can just wish Jason the best and let him go. But now the question becomes, if Jason exits life as Sonny’s right hand man and henchman, what do you see him doing with his life? We do know that Jason is aware that Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) has tied to the WSB, since he escorted him to Port Charles via Jakarta on the plane which may be a clue.
Weigh-in below: Do you want Jason to go work for the Quartermaines and truly join the family in full? Do you see him doing something to help those in need, or do you see him going undercover with the WSB to expose some of the treacherous things they perpetrated on him and others, or do you see Jason doing something completely different with his life? If so, what? Let us know your hopes and thoughts for Jason in the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Ethan Lovett Hightails Out of the Country, Christian Howard Wraps His Stint

That was quick! Christian Howard, who now looks to have literally stepped in for Nathan Dean to wrap up a few episodes for the character of Ethan Lovett made a quick exit on Friday’s July 31 episode of General Hospital.
GH viewers were stunned earlier this week on the Monday, July 27 episode when a voiceover announcer shared that Christian Howard was now playing Ethan Lovett. Next, Ethan hits the sheets with Ava Jerome, played by three-time Daytime Emmy-winner, Maura West. All seemed to be moving forward when suddenly at the end of the Thursday, July 30 episode, Ethan spots newcomer Hudson (Troy Lennon Appel) at the Metro Court Pool, and makes a quick getaway.
Then, it’s revealed after packing his bags at Lulu’s (Alexa Havins) house, that out of nowhere, Ethan received a lead on an incredible opportunity so he has to say goodbye to Lulu and run out of town and was leaving Port Charles.

RUNNING OUT OF TOWN
In fact, Ethan was in such a hurry, he forgot to say goodbye to Ava who had been waiting for him at the Metro Court pool. There is clearly a connection to Hudson and baby Phoebe after Ethan spotted the guy, because Ethan also glanced over to the baby and Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) at the Metro Court pool, before he ran to Lulu’s to pack his things. All of this points to Howard being an emergency recast for Dean.
It’s definitely been a week of change on-screen on the ABC soap with the news of Maxie, Spinelli, James, Georgie and Bailey all suddenly leaving Port Charles for Australia, after Spinelli got an offer he could not turn down.
That exit was written because Kirsten Storms is at this time,, and the very foreseeable future, not returning to General Hospital and is living in Tennessee. As she had documented via her Instagram stories and posts, she has been going through several personal ordeals. In addition to Storms, Ryan Paevey also exited the series earlier this month when he ended his run as Cassius Faison, while leaving the door open for his return down the line.
So, will newcomers Kelly Kruger (Serena Baldwin), Dean Geyer (Tristan Roberts) and Troy Lennon Appel fill the void of the multitude of exits? What are your theories on Christian Howard’s departure as Ethan Lovett on GH? Let us know via the comment section below.

‘Knots Landing’ Favorite Donna Mills Joins ‘OnlyFans’

Donna Mills, who at 85-years-old is still turning heads, booking film and TV roles and co-hosting the We’re Knot Done Yet podcast with her Knots Landing pals, Michele Lee (ex-Karen) and Joan Van Ark (ex-Valene), is now joining the world of Only Fans.
The news came Mills herself in a statement, where she shared to Variety, “I’ve always appreciated the incredible support and encouragement I’ve received from my fans over the years. Social media has been a wonderful way to stay connected, but I’m excited to join OnlyFans because it offers the opportunity for a more personal and direct connection.”
While OnlyFans is primarily known for its steamy content, Mills is taking a different approach, explaining that she will be “sharing moments from my daily life, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and engaging with fans in a more meaningful way. It’s simply another platform to spend quality time with the people who’ve supported me throughout my career while staying true to who I am.”

WHY DID DONNA MILLS JOIN OTHER CELEBRITIES ON ONLYFANS?
Andy Bachman, CEO Creators INC who presides over OnlyFans also shared in a statement, “This is not about changing who she is. It is about giving her longtime fans more access to the personality, style and behind-the-scenes moments they already love. Donna has always been fearless and ahead of her time. She told me, ‘YOLO — let’s do it,’ and that perfectly captures her attitude. She is approaching OnlyFans on her own terms and creating a space that feels authentic, personal and completely true to her.”
Mill’s move to OnlyFans comes on the heels of others in Hollywood who are pivoting to the platform not only for its revenur, but to control their own narrative of what they want put out into the world about themselves. One example is Shannon Elizabeth of American Pie and Scary Movie fame, who told Variety that since April she has earned more than $1.2 million in seven days via her OnlyFans account.

FROM THE CUL DE SAC AT SEAVIEW CIRCLE TO PORT CHARLES
While Donna Mills is best- known for her role as Abby Cunningham Ewing on Knots Landing from 1980-1989, 1993, she also won a Daytime Emmy for her role of Madeline Reeves on General Hospital. Mills played the evil mother to Nina Reeves (then Michelle Stafford) and sister to Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) from 2014-2015 and again in 2018.
The veteran actress also had a leading role in the soap opera, Love is a Many Splendored Thing, where she and GH’s late, great sister, Leslie Charleson (ex-Monica Quartermaine, GH) played sisters Laura and Iris Donnelly from 1967-1970. Mills began her soap career on The Secret Storm back in 1966.
So, what do you think of Donna Mills joining OnlyFans? Do you think the once exclusive provocative content platform, which is going more Hollywood, will ultimately be where big named celebrity post their own content?
