Legendary General Hospital actor Anthony Geary (Luke Spencer) died at 78, prompting an outpouring of grief led by his co-star, Genie Francis. Francis noted the supernatural connection, feeling his life end in her sleep. Geary, an eight-time Emmy winner, defined the supercouple phenomenon with Laura Webber in the 70s and 80s, despite the controversy surrounding the rape storyline. Executive Producer Frank Valentini praised Geary for setting the bar for the show, while former co-star Emma Samms expressed her deep sadness.
