Hollywood Mourns Anthony Geary

The entertainment world is in mourning. Acclaimed actor Anthony Geary, best known for his iconic role as Luke Spencer on General Hospital, passed away on December 14, 2025, at age 77. His husband, Claudio Gama, confirmed the news, calling the loss completely unexpected.

A Quiet Life in Amsterdam

After retiring from television in 2015, Geary chose a quieter life. He and Gama settled in Amsterdam, building a home centered on routine, companionship, and peace. In the days before his passing, there were no public signs of concern.

Gama later revealed that Geary died following complications from a scheduled medical procedure. A simple social media post shared shortly before his death showed an ordinary evening—preparing dinner, spending time with their longtime pet, and planning to return home. In hindsight, that moment now resonates deeply with those grieving his loss.

Tributes Pour In

Tributes came quickly from across the television industry. General Hospital executive producer Frank Valentini praised Geary’s extraordinary talent and lasting influence, noting that his work set a standard rarely matched. ABC Entertainment highlighted his eight Daytime Emmy Awards and his role in shaping some of daytime television’s most memorable moments.

Former co-stars shared personal memories. Genie Francis remembered Geary as a creative force who elevated everyone around him, while John Stamos reflected on how his dedication and generosity inspired him early in his career.

A Day Marked by Loss

Geary’s passing coincided with another tragic day in Hollywood: filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife also died in an unrelated incident. Amid the sadness, fans and colleagues focus on what endures—Anthony Geary’s groundbreaking work, lasting relationships, and a legacy defined by originality, commitment, and heart.
