Following the death of Anthony Geary on December 14, 2025, General Hospital will tribute the actor by re-airing his final episode as Luke Spencer on January 1, 2026. The special encore captures Luke's emotional farewell to Port Charles, originally aired in 2015.
In response to Anthony Geary's passing from complications after routine surgery, ABC's General Hospital has scheduled an encore presentation of his character's final episode for Thursday, January 1, 2026. This follows tributes from co-stars like Genie Francis and executive producer Frank Valentini.
The episode features Luke Spencer bidding farewell to his daughter Lulu (Emme Rylan), entrusting her with a letter for his wife Laura Webber (Genie Francis). It ends poignantly as Luke tells Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) to 'take care of Port Charles,' then departs by boat into the fog. Geary briefly returned silently in 2017 for Tracy Quartermaine's exit (Jane Elliot).
The rerun fits a holiday schedule with December 31, 2025, repeats, resuming new episodes January 2. Geary's 40-year portrayal of the complex anti-hero Luke defined the soap and earned him multiple Daytime Emmys, continuing the show's tradition of honoring its stars amid fan anticipation for emotional revisits.
