The General Hospital family is still mourning the loss of the legendary and most decorated actor in daytime drama, Anthony Geary, who made Luke Spencer into a household name. Geary passed away back on December 14 at the age of 78 in Amsterdam, leaving behind his loving husband, Claudio Gama.

Since the eight-time Daytime Emmy-winners passing, tributes have poured in from his co-stars, who shared the screen with him over close to 40 years. Now, for the first time, another GH mainstay, Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) has opened up on his time working with Tony Geary, along with Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) in their first episode of 2026 on their That’s Awesome Podcast.

Burton, who first aired as Jason Quartermaine back in 1991, had this to say about the iconic Geary. “It was my first day. At the studio, you check in with security, and then you go around the corner and there’s a hallway. Well, that door was closed. So, I check in and I’m 21 at the time. They tell me what dressing room to go to, and then I’m about to turn the corner, BAM! The door explodes open, and it was Tony Geary! He had kicked the door. He was frustrated about something. Coming down from stage, or whatever he was. I can hear some ruckus in the hallway and then bam, the explosion, and there’s Tony and there’s Luke. Then, I just go to my room quietly. I’m thinking, ‘This is Luke! That’s amazing!'”

IMPROVISING A SCENE WITH TONY

Speaking of working in scenes with Tony, Steve recalled, “He always had that twinkle in his eye, too. He always had that look of like, ‘I’m up to something. Are you up to something? Are we up to something together? Let’s go.’ Tony was always supportive. We had a run of scenes in Luke’s club, that’s when Jason started working for Sonny. We were short one on time one day. So they basically just said, ‘Hey, improv about for a minute and a half about something.’ We got to improvise something right there live. That’s one of my best memories. It was like, ‘Wow! I’m sitting here with Tony Geary, we get to improvise a scene.'”

TONY’S PENCHANT FOR REWRITING SCENES

Geary was known to have a hand in reworking dialog and what not in scripts, which Burton also confirmed, “Now, this is well known and we’re not talking out of school, but Tony would write a lot of stuff. He rewrite some of his scenes and he kind of had carte blanche to go ahead and do that because he was good at it. So, it’s not because he was such a huge star. It was that, combined with this guy’s a good writer. So a lot of times he would come in and go, ‘Hey, here’s what we’re going to do.'”

It was amazing to see him with Genie Francis (Laura) and work with Maurice Benard (Sonny). I was just always watching those guys. I would always pay attention to those people before us. The legends before us and how they operated. Tony took his work seriously. He was always prepared. Always writing stuff. Always working. It hurts to hear (of his passing.) Tony had such a beautiful life there (in Amsterdam), and I know a lot of castmates visited him, and he just had an amazing life.”

SOAP OPERA’S AMABASSADOR

Bradford Anderson, who recalled the time he sang with Geary on-stage at the ABC Salutes Broadway Cares benefit in New York and their duet from the show The Fantasticks called “I Can See It,” also added, “Obviously, our genre owes a lot to him too. He was such a great ambassador. The way he would hold himself at the Emmys. Like, that wasn’t an ever an afterthought for him, and celebrating the work that everybody. Tony was just an incredible, incredible person.”

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Trina Reminisces About Spencer, Soon After Roses and a Note from Her ‘Biggest Fan’ Arrive

Published

Trina and Spencer

General Hospital fans know red herrings when they see them. That the obvious choices, are usually not the culprit when a soap opera tells the story of an obsessed stalker. The soap trope always cast doubt on a laundry list of potential suspects until one day the actual reveal occurs!

The latest soap obsession is the character of Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali), the young singer who has been performing alongside her recording label mate Gio Palmieri. (Giovanni Mazza). The duo are back for another gig at the Cat’s Eye Lounge on the Tuesday, October 13 episode of the ABC daytime drama series.

After a sound check, where someone is watching Trina through the window, she is greeted by Ava (Maura West) and Trina’s current beau, Kai (Jens Austin Astrup).  Later, while talking to Emma (Braedyn Bruner) about Emma’s thoughts on moving in with Gio, Trina admitted she wasn’t ready to move in with Kai just yet.

ROSES ARE RED …

It’s at that point, for the very first time in a very long time, Trina mentioned the name of Spencer. Trina recalled the time she was ready to move in with him when she and her beloved late boyfriend were going to move to Paris.  With sorrow in her voice, Trina told Emma. “Take the leap. Because life doesn’t always give you a second chance.”

In a recent interview on the Michael Fairman Channel, Tabyana Ali had mentioned that while she is being kept in the dark as to who is her on-screen stalker, will turn out to be she loves the idea of turning it out to be Spencer Cassadine, as do many GH fans who have begun to speculate heavily that the story could reveal a very much alive Spencer. In story, Spencer went overboard and into the Seine River in Paris to his presumed death back at the end of January 2024.

As today’s episode continued, Quinn arrived (Jequon Jackson) and questioned Kai, if he was at all bothered by the growing closeness between Trina and Gio. Kai says he is not.

BACK FROM THE DEAD?

After Trina and Gio perform, Emma brings over to the table a bouquet of roses for Trina, that had been left outside from her “biggest fan.” Trina assumed the flowers were from Kai. He says he did not send them. Quinn just stares at Trina.

So, do you think the stalker could turn out to be Spencer, trying to get back to Trina because he loves her so much? How would you feel about a Spencer Cassadine recast? Do you think Trina mentioning Spencer today was a red herring or dropping a hint that it could very much turn out to be him that is the ‘fan’?  Let us know in the comment section, but first check out some of the key moments from Trina’s stalker story on Tuesday’s GH below, followed by our conversation with Tabyana Ali.

Parry Shen and Lydia Look

In a surprise appearance on the Monday, October 12 episode of General Hospital, Parry Shen and Lydia Look returned to the canvas as Brad Cooper and Selina Wu, as the Wu crime family was bidding for the Port Charles piers up for auction!

Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Ric (Rick Hearst) are completely floored when Selina strolled into the Metro Court conference room with her nephew and former GH lab tech, Brad Cooper, by her side.

This is the first time GH viewers have seen the character of Selina Wu since back in July of 2025. Previously, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) framed Selena for the firebombing of Charlie’s pun that put Sonny’s daughter Kristina (Kate Mansi) in grave danger. GH fans recall it was the late Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) who saved Kristina from the fire. In story to avoid Sonny’s wrath, Selina fled the country.

SURPRISE NEW PIER OWNER IS REVEALED

When Selina entered the conference room on today’s GH, she told Sonny the entire Sidwell debacle was “water under the bridge,” and he agreed. “I have no issue with you,” Sonny said in return.

In order to secure her bid for the piers, Selina explained Brad stepped in to make the necessary arrangements while she was trying to get herself get back to the United States. Sonny tells Brad, “You’re not going to get those piers!”

When it’s time for Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) to reveal the winning bid for the piers, seated in the room are potential buyers: Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), and JJE executive, Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel).

Suddenly, Ezra reveals that JJE secured the piers and the winning bid as Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) made a surprise entrance as the new pier owner. How did Josslyn do it? Watch the clip below where prior to the final bids being announced, the WSB agent rigged the computer system!

Trina, Willow, Josslyn GH Preview

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, official spoilers for the ABC daytime drama series, and the just released video teaser, reveal that several women are in serious peril, but in very different ways.

First, Lulu (Alexa Havins) finds out that Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) is suing her for libel! Looks like Willow took Chase’s (Josh Swickard) advice to fight back on these “allegations” levied by an “out-of-it “Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) who now claims everything he told Lulu in their recorded interview was a lie. However, the GH faithful viewers know what Sidwell said is true.

Willow is ready to prove her innocence to the Quartermaines too after entering their home. Will anyone be able to crack Willow and get her to admit to all she has perpetrated, but in a court of law, so she can be sentenced for some of her crimes, or will she continue to walk around Port Charles forever unscathed?

A SONNY TAKEDOWN

Meanwhile, Josslyn (Eden McCoy) wants to take down Sonny (Maurice Benard). So, she has decided to leverage being forced by the WSB to take the CEO position of her father’s company, JJE, in order to do so.

Sonny contends he has gone straight and is no longer in the mob, but try as he might, he may have to fall back into his old ways so people see the light!

Knowing Josslyn, and everyone else refuses to believe he had nothing to do with the prison beatdown of Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Sidwell, Sonny says, “If Josslyn thinks I’m gonna let her destroy me. She’s dead wrong.”

ROSES AND CAR TROUBLE

Meanwhile, looks like Trina’s stalker is amping up their obsession. Now, at her latest musical gig at the Cat’s Eye Lounge, she receives a card and a bouquet of roses. The card reads, ‘From your biggest fan.”

Later, we see Trina sitting in her car having trouble getting it to start. Suddenly, there is a knock on her car window. Quinn (Jequan Jackson) is standing there with a smile on his face, and says, “Car trouble?” Trina is startled. Is Quinn just there to help out, or is something more heinous about to go down? Stay tuned.
