General Hospital star Anthony Geary died a little over a week ago, and now, his husband, Claudio Gama, is sharing the news that the beloved actor, who won 8 Daytime Emmys for his role as Luke Spencer, has been laid to rest.
General Hospital, RIP, Anthony Geary
"Greetings to all from Amsterdam," Gama began an emotional Instagram Post, featuring photos that memorialize the late GH star, "today, we said our last goodbyes to Tony. He is now resting up where the stars shine bright. He will [al]ways be missed, his love, his life, his art speaks for itself...me, Max [our cat], and the family would like to thank all of Tony's friends and colleagues for the wonderful support and respect you have shown Tony.
"To all of Tony’s fans," Gama continued, "thank you so much for the wonderful words of support and condolences He always told me everything he did as an actor as an artist was for his fans, without your love and support he would have never reached the heights he did in his career...acting was his passion, as was dancing, singing, drink cola, Payday candy bars, and cats. He loved his country and his second home of Amsterdam. Thank you, all. Rest in Peace, our Tony. Stay warm, safe, and healthy."
General Hospital stars, others, pay tribute
"❤️ How lucky Tony was to have you as his person. His partner. His husband," shared Brandon Barash (ex-Johnny; ex-Stefano, Days of our Lives). "We should all be so fortunate. We love you and Tony always and forever. ❤️."
Co-stars Kin Shriner (Scotty) and Ian Buchanan (ex-Duke) responded with brief and heartfelt posts. "Goodbye, Tony," Shriner wrote. Buchanan posted heart emojis: "❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️."
"Thank you, Claudio, for always being generous in sharing your two loves with the world," posted musician Annette Conlon. "I’ve no doubt Tony is resting in the stars, shining his light on you and Max. Sending you love and sending Max kitty kisses. I am so, so sorry for your loss. Rest in Peace, Tony. ♥️♥️."
Geary began his run as Luke Spencer in late 1978. He played the part until late 1983, and returned for a brief stint in 1984. In 1991, he rejoined the show as Luke's look-alike cousin, Bill Eckert. Geary came back to GH as Luke in 1993. Joining him at that time was his longtime leading lady, Daytime Emmy-winner Genie Francis (Laura).
GH will honor Geary on New Year's Day 2026 by rebroadcasting the actor's final full episode from 2017.
