Soaps In Quarantine EP 3: Tony Geary

[@MsKuzzon]

i got to meet Tony Geary once in 1992 when he came through the SLC airport.He was going to his parents home up in Coalville Ut. and he was so polite and so sweet. I was just in awe.

[@tonikelly415]

This was not an interview. This was a conversation & it couldn't have come at a better time. Most of us a going stir crazy right now & this allowed me to sit back & push away all the real life bullshit. I have always admired Tony the actor but listening to Tony the man drew me in. This was realism at it's best - no games, no word play, just honesty...something we're sorely lacking these days. I loved hearing his insights & as much as I miss his presence on GH it warms my heart to see him peaceful & content. This was a joy & I want to thank Nancy for this wonderful gift.

[@KenzieMor]

Well said!

Too bad he had to crap all over the writers before he left

This was so great. Tony is talking straight, no filters no lies and I love that. He gives great insightful answers to questions, even during a crazy appearance like the one at Northbrook in Chicago on YT (I don’t think it’s the same event he mentions here)

Please please do another interview! This was the fastest 45 mins of my life! And I really appreciate getting a conversation with Tony where he is (to some degree, lol) just talking “among friends”. I always felt that he was sooo heavily censoring himself that I always thought, man there’s so much more to this story! And, although I’m still thinking that because he is Tony Geary, icon with years of great stories, I just felt an ease with him. I will always love Luke. And I will forever be in awe of Mr Geary!!❤️.

This was the best ever! The time went by so quickly, because I was glued to the screen. I have always adored Tony. Nancy, please have him on again.

[@teresa2845]

I like how Tony was able to say how he really felt about the rape scene... Because he and GF worked hard in that scene... to show it as a rape... and it had to be somewhat hurtful for people to walk away with thinking it was a seduction... I remember watching that when I was a young teen... and I never for a moment thought it was a seduction. Especially the scenes with GF at the park afterwards. The reason people started looking at it that way... was because they were able to see Lukes softer side.... even with his rough upbringing... he still had this softer side to him. And the character of Laura was able to eventually see that in him as well... because she was able to see that and to forgive him... I think that is why the audience was able to forgive him.... but for it to become a love story... people had to rewrite that scene in their minds. But for fans to scream at the actor... to rape them... that was just sad and sick. They obviously had no clue as to what rape really is.

[@justlina2769]

Not much different than fans today who want Julian and Alexis together after he threatened her with a knife at her throat.

[@theresecatalano4017]

Teresa Dewey I thought it was also because of the chemistry between TG & GF that sent the story line in another direction,. It was like capturing lightning in a bottle & the producers didn’t want it to get away!

[@coleenmcdonald2649]

I think it was really about TG and GF and their chemistry as actors. They really intended for Luke's character to only be on GH for a short time. The storyline was intended to end in his death I believe. However, there was something undefinable between TG and GF as actors that could not be recreated. By the time they realized it, the rape was already part of the storyline and now they had to backpedal if they were going to keep them together. Chemistry such as the chemistry that we see between TG and GF is not something that happens every day. They (the producers of GH) realized there was something special happening on the screen and of course, they were going to take advantage of it.

[@user-ve5ln5le9y]

☝🏻☝🏻 Exactly. I consider Luke sexually assaulting Laura a tragic, heartbreaking encounter that was unnecessary because as a ‘new’ viewer watching their story unfold through replay, I wanted them together regardless, and clearly a lot of OG fans back at that time did too. But it seems par for the course for Luke and Laura, their chemistry was so explosive and their romance so written in the stars, yet there were always ppl/events conspiring against them. At least the fans he was referring to weren’t yelling ‘Fuck me, Luke’. That would’ve been…interesting.

[@claudiarussell3549]

What a wonderful enlightened interview. Thank you Nancy for this wonderful interview with Anthony Geary. He is truly one one best actors around. I read an article where he was so upset about about how they “rewrote” certain things” when he was leaving (Jake alive; Frank Smith alive; etc. ) I hope Tony chooses to come back for a short stint on gh I don’t think he should compromise on his character but I would like to see some interact with Genie. They have totally thrown the importance of her character away for the sake of budget but maybe Tony could help the peers that be the light. Thank you Tony. I enjoy watching gh on KZbin; not so much on current episodes. Powers that be listen to Tony and Nancy: character should drive the plot🙏🏻❤️

Amazing interview! I have learned so much about Tony Geary & I love him even more now!

[@DegrassiInstantStar]

I'm happy that Nancy brought up the writers and how difficult it is for them to make every single person happy, whether it is the actor and/or the audience. Their jobs are not easy; they have their own creative ideas they want to pursue, they have people that they need to answer to and they have actors to live up to, as well. It's a thankless job sometimes. And it's nice knowing that the current regime-who I do believe is fantastic-is open to an actor defending their character and speaking up at the appropriate moments.

[@WrytnFool]

This is a fascinating conversation with an iconic actor. Such insight! Wish he'd come back for a cameo.

[@user-ve5ln5le9y]

I am just watching Luke and Laura’s story unfold for the first time and OMG I am completely addicted! Those two are breathtaking. It burns my soul to hear what has been done to their love story after Genie initially left the first time, which should never have happened. They should have let them leave together, happy. Where are the Spencer children? Grandchildren ? 😢😢 Luke in the early days wanted what Laura represented. She was the love of his life. Don’t know how long GH will survive but in my heart they need to find their way back to each other soon because life is short and real life is depressing as it is these days. IMHO. Great convo.

[@WrytnFool]

@Robin Seppi I'm hoping Tracy meant "missing" instead of dead. To permanently kill off that character would be the stupidest thing ever.

[@diane5908]

I really hope the story is really Luke faked his death to protect Laura from Victor and to bring Jane Elliot back. IF not, why would they kill an iconic beloved character off when he hasn't been on in 6 years?

[@angiechambless1092]

I thought the writers made Luke a bad, deadbeat, neglectful dad. How funny. In the 90's I thought Luke was a good dad. A protective, loving dad. He was great with Lucky. But later, horrible with Lulu when she was growing up. I didn't like Luke as a broken down drunk guy. I think a lot of fans didn't either. Because Luke always wanted to be "up there with the Webbers". He complained to Bobby about getting out of the gutter enough. But when the do, like Luke becoming Major, it seemed like, Yes, he made it!! Luke finally made it! But later, he like loses it all. It was a sad ending of Luke Spencer.

Great interview! Completely agree with staying true to the characters.

[@albeerecreation3277]

Great casual and raw interview. Loved being in the living room with you all. As to the friction over the connection soap actors have to their characters, it is different than most actors who rehearse, do a short run of a character on the stage or screen and then move on to another show, another character. For you guys who live, breathe and develop these characters for years it IS a very real, personal relationship. You become the character, the character becomes you. As the years go by, these characters become part of us all. Good writing or bad, Alexis is someone I know intimately as I have seen her at her best and worse. Since following you Nancy, I see so much of you in her and her in you. What a great accomplishment and a testament to your career. So glad you chose soaps over another medium. I miss the great characters of shows gone by and am so grateful I still get to see my Alexis, Monica, Jason, etc every single day and just like with my "real" friends and family, I get to see how they have grown and changed. Don't stop!

[@barbaro138]

[@user-ve5ln5le9y]

What a treat to see and hear him today. He was so passionate in his performance as Luke. 🔥🔥🔥 God the only other man I’ve seen on TV kiss the love of his life like that is another Tony Goldwyn from Scandal (with Kerry Washington). I love watching couples with off the charts chemistry that is still there decades later ❤️❤️ Sigh I wish I could see Luke and Laura together again for good on GH and ride off into the sunset together 🥺. #80sForever Luke and Laura forever!!! Guess I’ll just have to keep watching that Kiss On My List LnL tribute video…….

[@betsykeller9096]

I believe the character of Luke always had a moral ambiguity, even in the midst of the character's most normalized moments. While Mr. Geary may have felt that Luke had become too domesticated, I don't believe that was ever the case - and maybe that was due to Mr. Geary's tenacity. What made his scenes with Genie Francis and Jonathan Jackson so wonderful in the early 1990s was their onscreen chemistry that coincided with the push and pull of Luke's insane desire for conflict. Even when being the doting husband and father, the character would consistently put his family in harm's way, allowing for drama, action/adventure, love, discord. The only thing fans never fully received was resolution with regard to certain aspects of the character when Luke Spencer walked off into the fog. The character was built around: His love for Laura, his humanity; his dysfunctional family, his desire to be better than what he was raised; what little family he did have, without Bobbi and Ruby the character would have become a more criminal entity; the inability to accept when he had it good, thus the desire to be put in harm's way. I believe there was an overkill in the effort to make Luke Spencer less than normal to the point where the fans felt a little put off. But, I also believe that Mr. Geary was extraordinarily gifted in what he bestowed upon us in the form of entertainment once he committed to Luke Spencer in the long term. While, I want more, and would prefer a Luke and Laura denouement that fits my imagination, I will always be grateful for what I got!

This video made me so happy that I stumbled upon it. Ironically I've been watching all of episodes of General Hospital (from the 80s) for the last 2 weeks, which has brought back so many beautiful & warm memories... which is probably how I stumbled upon this video... it showed up as a suggestion. Those early years of GH were the best years. Tony Geary will always. always, always have a place in my ❤ heart as Luke Spencer. I remember my grandmother used to collect all the soap opera magazines, (when I was a teenager), because she was SO in love with Tony Geary. She would talk about him all the time and she never missed an episode of General Hospital. As a matter of fact, back in the 80s, she would take her telephone off the hook so no one would interrupt GH. I agree with Tony when he said he didn't want to change the character of Luke into a good husband or loving father. I loved the version of Luke that he was in the "Luke& Laura" days. I loved the 4some of Luke, Laura, Tiffany and Scorpio. As soon as the character of Luke started to change, sadly I lost interest in GH and stopped being a dedicated watcher. Anywho.... It is so beautiful to watch this interview with Tony, and to see him living a happy life, in a place he has dreamed about and worked so hard to get to. There aren't many people in the world that I can say I would love to meet, (because I've never been star struck) but Tony Geary would be one of them. He just seems like the type of person you could get lost in conversation with. His soul just seems beautifully deep. (I could be wrong) Anyway. Thank you for this interview and God bless everyone in these changing times and may everyone stay safe, happy and healthy.

Thank you for surprising us with this wonderful conversation with Tony Geary. He has long been a favourite of mine. I'm happy to know he is enjoying his life in Holland!

[@lisabenson]

I would love to see Tony Geary more on screen. He is a fabulous person and a great actor! “Humanity without judgment… that is civilization.” Incredible quote!

MISS HIM SO SO SO MUCH ! 🥺♥️ LOVE LUKE SPENCER/ TONY GEARY!

Fascinating! As a viewer, I was enthralled listening to Nancy and Tony's conversation on their creative process. Watching soaps for most of my life( I'm 62) I can honestly say that I have tremendous allegiance to the characters. It's interesting when a new actor takes over the role of a character and makes it their own but still leaves the character intact for the most part. Case in point, when Laura Wright take over the role of Carly she added her own brand of acting Carly but never changed the essence of Carly's character. I have to say that she's my favorite Carly. Kudos to Laura. I'm so lost without my soaps these days and am anticipating fondly but patiently for their safe return. Love you, Nancy and Tony.

I've watched GH since 1971. Nancy, Anthony and Stuart Damon are the only actors I wrote letters too as I was so moved by scenes played (Should have written to Genie Francis too). Our Governor decided his news conference had to be on in GH's time slot. I suddendly realized not seeing the show, I wasn't quite as depressed. Sadly the show is all about bad guys being good and good guys being incompetent. This interview makes me long for the good old days.Where the bad guys weren't all bad and the good guys won once in a while (forgive me for using "guys" . The female characters always drove the show.) Nice to see Anthony Geary again. Thank you.

I watched some of the 80s and most of '92-'98 online - all from before I was born - and I think it was so good...there was a true sense of community, the characters were real, the stories were compelling because of the characters - their disticinct personalities, desires, and humour - and because there was such honesty to their relationships and struggles and grief and love. The show flowed like real life, no matter what the storylines. I'm sure people work hard on the show, yet when I try to watch what's on now, it's not the same in quality at all - and there's such talent there. It's sad and I'm grateful for the saved episodes.

I’ve been watching old GH episodes on KZbin and I’m still amazed at what a great actor Tony Geary is. He gave 1000% to the character of Luke Spencer and it’s still hard to believe he really isn’t Luke! Love ya’ and miss ya’ Tony!

[@nancygutkowski1256]

Wonderful. Loved Luke & Laura. Love the way in which all people are excepted there . 😊

[@rovato11]

What a wonderful interview! I hope you do another one.

[@verawp8984]

I loved it, but I have to admit I'm bias, I love love love you guys. Been a GH fan since the beginning :-)! Thank you to all of you for doing this. Awesome job, awesome interview. Nice to see TV idols being so natural. Can't wait for the next one. Miss you SO much Tony.

[@pamjenkins3923]

Thank you for this! We love Nancy and love and miss Tony!!!

[@kevinm4071]

WOW I'm so glad that I found this interview, Anthony Geary is such an Icon and I love that he seems so happy and content with his life. And congrats on him getting his citizenship there. So many hate Nancy but I adore her and love that she always speaks her mind.

[@Deb-mi1qx]

Thank you for the great show. And thank you to all actors that fight for your characters. I believe that the actors and the viewers are more invested than some of the writers. Without you fighting for your characters, they could have ended up like Dr Tony Jones. ( That one broke my heart)

[@evas1968]

Miss him so much! The writing suck's now...Stopped watching a couple of years ago after 35 years

[@matthartleyjr9180]

Well there is still good stuff happening you should still watch

[@kareneverett7497]

I quit watching not long after the 50th anniversary. They were trying too hard to turn it into OLTL. Ruined it for me. I had been watching about 40yrs.

[@matthartleyjr9180]

@@kareneverett7497 well outside a few people from that show it is still really great with all the drama happening these days

[@kevinpayton2664]

After the 50-year celebration, I stopped watching it. Since then I've watched maybe two or three episodes including one last week. So who knows, maybe I might get back into it.

[@pammy77boo]

Love you Anthony Geary!!! Nancy Lee Grahn you are so awesome as well!!!! Loved to see you so much!!! God Bless!!!

[@lisabochat9169]

Love Tony 💝 so enjoyed seeing that!

[@Metube99able]

Great conversation/interview. Love tony Geary. Phenomenal actor and person.

[@heatherdeavalon]

Thank you for your insight and passion for your characters. I've been watching GH since I was a kid. (I'm old er) Luke and Natasha were with you during the interview, I saw them peek out! Some of my best memories are of GH and where I was in my life journey. Thank you just Thank you.

[@sussezq]

Holland sounds like Heaven.. but not much different than MY NY I must say! I am sure growing up in Utah was a different story however. Glad you found someplace where you feel completely comfortable. That's what home is all about!

[@dg-sl5jb]

One visit to the Amsterdam's redlight district and that "Heaven" would turn to Hell. They have porn shops there THAT PLAY VIDEOS OF PEOPLE PLAYING WITH AND SMEARING THEMSELVES IN HUMAN FECES. I HAVE FRIENDS WHO HAVE BEEN THERE TO TELL THE TALE. DRUG USE OF HARDCORE DRUGS IS RAMPANT. There is no such thing as a Utopia without morality. SMH.

[@sussezq]

@@dg-sl5jb The whole point was Utopia doesn't exist when any person thinks they are better than another, and chooses to judge. If you don't like something don't partake in it... that simple. As long as everyone is making their own choices and nobody is hurting another....Live & let live!

[@dg-sl5jb]

@@sussezq Thats pure liberal BS and it destroys societies. Its garbage ideas like this that have people doing Ted Talks advocating Pedophilia. There is right and wrong sweetie. And Im not afraid to say so.

[@sussezq]

@@dg-sl5jb Yeah it's wrong to call me "sweetie". That's arrogant, condescending and rude. Grown ups making choices for themselves, consenting adults, is VERY different than what you are talking about!! Your over generalization is so backwards and simple. Laws exist for a reason...but outside of that, other people's business is none of yours, or mine. And yes it is utopia when adults actually know that, and realize that nobody is better than them, or lesser than them.

[@oznatsnoc]

Thank you for this!! I have missed Tony and Luke so much!!

[@annenorkin6780]

Very interesting, insightful and fun! The perfect panacea right now. Thank you for doing this.

[@lindagiorgio6058]

Thanks for letting us visit with Tony Geary for a few minutes, this was awesome.
