Geary has portrayed the role of Luke Spencer since 1978 and is credited in part with the series’ revival and skyrocketing popularity through his relationship with his supercouple co-star, Genie Francis. The duo catapulted General Hospital to the top of the ratings, with their November wedding watched by over 30 million viewers.

The tribute episode saw members of Port Charles come together to pay their respects to the beloved fixture of the town, as Luke’s daughter Lulu (Alexa Havins) was in a coma when her father passed away and was never allowed to grieve properly; thus, surrounded by family and friends, she was able to say goodbye.
The soap previously killed the character of Luke Spencer off, following Geary’s retirement. While his death occurred off-screen and fans had secretly hoped Geary would one day make a triumphant return, the series treated his death as a final send-off for the legendary character.
For his portrayal of Luke Spencer, Geary was nominated for over 17 Daytime Emmy Awards, taking home the win a record-setting 8 times, with his most recent win occurring in 2015.
Following his retirement in 2015, Geary moved to the Netherlands, where he lived with his husband Claudio Gama.
Geary died on December 14, 2025, at the age of 78, as a result of complications from a surgical procedure three days prior.
