In 1978, after working in the theater and roles on both prime-time and daytime TV, Anthony Geary joined the cast of General Hospital as Luke Spencer. Geary’s pairing with Genie Francis (Laura) became a pop-culture phenomenon, with their characters’ 1981 wedding drawing an audience of 30 million viewers. Geary left Port Charles in 1984, but returned in 1991 as Luke’s cousin Bill Eckert. In 1993, Bill was killed off to make room for Geary’s return as Luke. He played the role until he retired in 2015.
Over the course of his GH career, the actor earned a record-setting eight Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor, winning in 1982, 1999, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2015 and also earned three Soapy Awards (the precursor to the Soap Opera Digest Awards) as Best Actor in 1980, 1981 and 1983, and two Digest Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in 1999 and 2000.
Geary passed away on December 14, 2025 from complications following surgery at the age of 78.
