God I certainly hope not. I LOVED his posts. That is weird that he would say goodbye like that and not say it in a more direct way.

Hmm I wonder what is going on with him.

Mitch, I could not remember all of it full effect. I was still pretty new then, but I seemed to remember that Chad had posted something about being gone. I could not find the post where he told where he was going, but one of his last posts he did tell someone to hold down the fort until he returned. I checked his profile and his posts and found that post. I don't remember who he said that too, but it was in January near the 31st. His last active day was the 31st. So the way he left it, he is coming back - so probably just traveling or something.

GH: December 2025 Discussion Thread

I'm glad they're sticking to Ned's health and acknowledging Tracy in this. I was afraid it would just be dropped altogether.
Slower day today, for me.

Mandi Line smashed it with the fashion today. She is such an asset to this soap. They're beyond lucky to have her.

R.I.P.: Anthony Geary has passed away

For me, there's zero need to retcon Luke's death at this point simply because of Geary's passing.

Hayley/Roberta/Val got really agitated when Bill mentioned Joey asking him to run for Congress. Guess that would be a little too much publicity for a scammer to be adjacent to.

Then they should have done much more than they did.

Monday's show saw the grand launch of Abbott Communications-the company that is going to be a game changer in the media world!
And what a launch-a 1950's theme party-WTF??
It consisted of various characters in vaguely 1950's attire, with the reason being that TV was a game changer in the 50's as AC would be today. OK....
God forbid we had the cast dressed to the nines at a glamorous event.
The decor consisted of some old TV sets scattered around the Jazz lounge. Sally was fretting that maybe she should have got Pietro the Party Planner but Billy assured her she did a fantastic job.
Pietro must be laughing all the way to the bank as he buys a few ballooons and chintzy decorations from the local mini mall and has the likes of the Newmans paying top $$.
This launch consisted of a few cast members and a couple of extras. Of course, Phyllis has to be there, vamping around. Sally had a few vague words about content and delivery. No specifics as the whole thing is total Crapola. Although starting a company with no staff and offices is quite an achievement.
But wait , the dastardly Victor Newman has an evil plan hatching from his recliner rocker. If Eric Braeden isn't delivering every line from cue cards, he's sure doing a great job of making it seem so.
Sally's speech is so meaningless, all gathered would rather look at a message coming through on their finds.
Oh no the Abbott family are facing destruction at the hands of Victor. Stay Tuned.
Just really sad to see the downfall of this show.
But Josh Griffith deliberately writes this big business, big event nonsense that is embarrassing to watch.

Personal matters, but the show was already aware that Geary would not be returning.

R.I.P.: Anthony Geary has passed away

This sums it up for me.
I'd be a hypocrite to act like Luke or Geary meant anything to me as a soap fan. "My" soaps were CBS, and by the time I started watching GH in the mid '90s, I felt no connection to Luke. That only hardened as time passed and Geary's clear disdain for the character and the character's foundations also hardened.
I don't blame Monty for everything soaps became, any more than I blame JER, but there's such a dividing line, made worse because the better soap years are almost entirely lost to us.
That Geary himself seemed to have such disgust for the L&L years informed much of his later work. I think his deconstruction of Luke, and the Luke mythos, would be much more compelling to read about in a paper than what we got onscreen, but that's true of Tony in general. He seemed to have a fascinating life, and even though I disliked Luke and what Luke ultimately did to those around him, I can appreciate his passion for reinvention and wanting to take Luke on his own journey. He never stopped wanting something more, rather than just cashing checks.

I would incorporate that as well. We would learn he faked his death in the ignoble ski lift, etc. and then went on, and it would unfold future story for his surviving loved ones.
I've outlined my woulda-been plans for Luke's final story to friends like titan or DRW before but in some ways this sad news makes a revision simpler, more elegiac. I won't go into them in a thread like this, friends can ask me in DMs if they wish but I'll just say again, I think the focus has always needed to be heavy on Laura re: Luke passing away. Her grief in 2022, like the entire event, was very perfunctory and rushed. Largely because I strongly suspect FV had gambled on getting Tony back for the 60th or a future time (as he'd gambled with Steve Burton in 2012, and Trevor St. John at OLTL in 2011), and revealing that offscreen 'death' to be a hoax or scheme. (Even Bobbie suggested this in 2023, which went nowhere.) Who knows, maybe GH did have an arrangement and then Tony's health grew worse. But they should never have let that weak stuff go to air unless they were certain.
Just speaking as a general audience member, Laura should never have believed Luke was dead. The Cassadines faked her death and the death of her mother and son. People saw fake bodies. Even if remains are presented Laura shouldn't believe it. All this time I have to believe her somewhat muted reaction and the scant writing is because Laura has quietly, consciously or unconsciously, been waiting for Luke to come back. And when she realizes he isn't coming back that should break her life as she begins to fully reconcile her heart re: her life with him. Something we could learn Luke had finally begun to do himself before his own death.
