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’s’ Tanisha Harper on the Future of a Jordan Ashford and Michael Corinthos Pairing

It’s been clear for awhile now that General Hospital has been pushing Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) more into the orbit of Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson), leading to speculation that the two will become more than just business associates and friends.
Well, now, Tanisha Harper has confirmed that the long-running ABC soap opera is testing the waters for a Jordan/Michael romance in her discussion with Soap Opera Digest.
The two characters share something in common, in that, they both have suffered severe burns and disfigurement, and they share a common bond working for Aurora Media.

CHEMISTRY TEST
Harper explained, “At first, they were kind of just sprinkling it in; we were starting to do some scenes together here and there. But, I think the writers and Frank Valentini (EP, GH) liked it, and we’ve progressed with that.”
This poses a bit of dilemma for Jordan, who’s boyfriend Curtis Ashford had been sent to Pentonville for assaulting Dr. Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson), but who just wound up on the receiving end of a prison beat down and landed at the hospital.
All things being equal, Tanisha shared that Michael is fast becoming, “the one person who understands what she’s going through on a deeper level. That makes for a strong connection, and I think the fans are starting to see that connection, too.”
As to if things will escalate and get hot and steamy from herem like any great forbidden love story, Tanisha shared, “That seems to be where we’re headed. In true soap fashion!”
Harper also noted about the future of Jordan and Michael, “We’ll see what the writers have in store for us, but I do think that this could be something really interesting. It’ll make some people mad, and some people will be here for it!”
So, are you down for a Jordan and Michael romance? Let us know via the comment section below.

‘General Hospital’s’ Tabyana Ali Weighs In on Who She Thinks is Trina’s Stalker (Exclusive)

On General Hospital, as Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) has launched a music career alongside Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza), it was recently revealed that she actually has what seems like an “obsessed” stalker! How do we know? Well, there is a collage of the young woman that said person is continuing to add more photos to as the weeks and months roll on.
There have been several obvious suspects in the way GH has presented the characters. Chief among them music executive, Simon Craft (Grady Eldridge) who continually has made statements and has been shooting daggers at anyone getting in the way of his prized recording artist.
At the same time the stalking started, Kai’s friend and former college football teammate, Quinn (Jequan Jackson) showed back up who previously had a falling out with Trina. Might he be playing nice, but wants revenge on Trina?

KEPT IN THE DARK
Fast-forward and now General Hospital fans learned that two-time Daytime Emmy winner, Alley Mills is on her way back to the show as Heather Webber, who previously was known as”The Hook” killer at one point, and is the biological mother of Trina’s sworn enemy, Esme Prince (last played by Avery Pohl).
Esme perished went she went overboard with Trina’s boyfriend, Spencer Cassadine (last played by Nicholas Alexander Chavez) a few years ago into the steely waters below. Could Esme be the one obsessing over Trina, or could it be someone else completely?
In a brand new video interview out on Tuesday, September 29, Tabyana Ali visited You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel and weighed-in on who she thinks could be the culprit! However, Tabyana shared she actually has no idea who it actually will turn out to be.
“The crazy thing is that everybody knows who it is except for me! They’re keeping that secret from me,” revealed Ali. “They want me to be as oblivious as Trina.”

THOSE WHO WENT OVERBOARD AND PRESUMED DEAD
After looking over the potential suspects and with all the theories that have floated about, Tabyana had her top picks! “I would love for it to be Spencer. I would love for it to be Esme. Mostly because I also just want my friends back on set, too. I would love to just see them and hang out with them. I think it definitely could be one of those two,” speculated Ali.
“I think everybody thought it could have been Quinn, or could have been Simon. I think we were all pointing in that direction for a minute, but I thinks that’s too easy”, declares Tabyana. “I think they’re just trying to throw me off, and trying to make it seem like it’s one of them. Now, nobody told me one way or the other about them.”
As soaps go, it’s usually not the first string of suspects who turn out to be the actual person behind the stalking. Tabyana agreed, “If you just know writing in general, if you just know TV in general, if you know soaps in general, you know that’s a game. You know, they set up, set up, set up, and then they really show the reveal. So. I was like, ‘This is just the setup to the reveal, right?'”
As for it being Spencer, it may not because his motives are bad. Ali shared, “It could be Spencer trying to fight his way back to Trina, or Heather trying to get revenge for her dead daughter Esme, or Esme herself. Those are all good ones, I was also playing around with what if it’s Cyrus Renault (Jeff Kober)? That would be kind of fun. Don’t know what his motive would be. I know he passed away. He’s dead because of Joss (Eden McCoy), but it’s like everybody comes back alive on soaps, so…”

FROM KAI WITH LOVE
Some fans theorized it could be Trina’s boyfriend, Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup) or one another option being that the real stalker takes him out. “I think that’s kind of happened to all of Trina’s boyfriends,” lamented Tabyana. “They’ve all kind of gone that way. So, hopefully it doesn’t happen that way. Would it be easier if Kai was the stalker? Okay, yeah, maybe. He’d go to jail for a couple months or whatever. Come on out and then what? He would had to have had a brain-eating amoeba that made him do it. Who knows?” (Laughs)
In the end, are Trina and Kai truly in love? Ali shared her viewpoint and gave a tease, “I think they have love for one another, but to love someone it does take gradual time. I think it’s getting to that point. I think with this music situation as well, it is really proving to Trina that Kai is willing to be there with her every step of the way.”
She continued, “He is supporting her 10 toes down, making sure that she has everything that she needs, to going to every live show. I think this portion of their lives will definitely guide them somewhere else. I think, an ‘I love you,’ might come just around the corner.”
You can check out the full conversation with Tabyana now on the Michael Fairman Channel below.
Then weigh-in, after hearing Tabyana’s thoughts on the matter, who do you think will be proven to be Trina’s stalker? Let us know via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Lulu Tells Charlotte Everything That Could Have Happened to Her With Drew

The Monday, September 28 episode featured emotional scenes for Lulu (Alexa Havins), Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) and Charlotte that set the stage for the previously reported exit of Bluesy Burke.
In story, Lulu and Valentin inform Charlotte they are sending her away to boarding school in Maine. The reason: she needs more structure, and more than her parents can give her. Charlotte’s recent actions to try to set up Drew (Cameron Mathison) to make it look like he was making advances to a teenage girl was the last straw for the teenager.
Charlotte, at first, was angered and begging her parents to not make her leave Port Charles. Valentin exits to give Lulu time alone to talk to their daughter.

MOTHER HAS SOME THINGS TO SAY
Now alone, Lulu tries to open her daughter’s eyes as to what could have happened to her if she went through with her plot to videotape Drew with her in his car! Charlotte explains her plan and how she had everything under control, but Lulu asks her what if Drew took advantage of her or hurt her? What if things went terribly wrong? She questions Charlotte, if she even thought about that?
Lulu tried to make Charlotte see that Drew could have sexually assaulted her. Eventually, Charlotte agrees to go to boarding school, as Lulu and Charlotte share a tear-filled goodbye. However, before she leaves town, Charlotte asks her mother to let her say goodbye to Danny (Asher Antonyzyn).
VALENTIN OPENS UP TO ANNA
Meanwhile, Valentin has gone to the Metro Court Gardens and runs into Anna (Finola Hughes). Valentin is distraught sharing he feels like a failure as a father and because of his choices what has become of his daughter. He is devastated. These were also well-played scenes between James Patrick Stuart and Finola Hughes. Anna assures Valentin that sending Charlotte to boarding school is not a bad idea at all.
DANNY IS HEARTBROKEN AND ANGERED
Towards the conclusion of the episode, Charlotte tells Danny she is being sent to Maine to boarding school by his parents. Danny tries to look on the bright side, that Maine is not that far away from New York, and at least she is not being sent overseas.
However, Danny becomes upset when Charlotte tells him that her parents knew what she was planning with Drew, because Rocco had told Carly (Laura Wright).
Danny is confused why Rocco would have ratted her out. Charlotte says to impress Scou (Kayden Brenna Tokarski). The two teens hug with Charlotte promising that she’d be back, and Danny telling her he would here for her once she returned to Port Charles.
So, what did you think of the scenes between Lulu, Valentin and Charlotte? Did Lulu raise good points to her daughter about Drew, to scare her enough to realize actions have consequences? Will you miss Bluesy Burke? Let us know via the comment section, but first take a look at the opening scenes featuring the trio that sets-up Charlotte’s farewell, for now, below.
