IN MEMORIAM 2025

A Loving Look Back 

One of the best tributes we've seen: 


NOTE: We were almost ready to publish this and we lost another great this December. Anthony Geary was in a way, the face of 'mid-modern' GH. As a part of Luke and Laura, he was sealed into pop culture forever. Tony also did theater, guest starred on tv shows and was in a few movies. The fact that almost all of principal cast of that era of storytelling is gone just about wrecks me. I can't imagine what Genie and Kin must be feeling at this point. If you read their statements, both had GH dreams the night Tony passed and perhaps that was how deep the connection was. 

David writes: I remember when we lost Anna Lee and John Ingle. Both of those losses were very tough, as they were not only loved ones but part of our family. However, nothing could prepare us for the losses we suffered this year. Not only were the actors veterans, but they were also legends. In every sense of the word. We are going to try to pay tribute to them in our own way and remember their contributions to the General Hospital family.

There are hundreds of tributes on YouTube for these individuals. I spent a lot of time trying to come up with a unique way to remember them without imposing on the many online tributes already done. I hope you like what we've come up with. 



Leslie Charleson
Monica Quartermaine
January 12

Leslie began her career on GH on August 16, 1977. 
Dave's standout scene: Monica has lost 2 parents (in-laws), a husband, surrogate mother and 4 children. (one returned) All of those tragic scenes would be standouts. I was going to go with the day she told the Q's that she had an affair with Ned, but instead decided to do something lighter. Here is her performance at the Nurse's Ball in 1994
Karen's standout scene:  Night before the breast cancer operation



Denise Alexander
Leslie Webber
March 5

Denise began her career on GH in 1973.
Dave's standout scene: Lesley and Monica have had their share of fights. I think this was by far their biggest. And Lesley got a really good slap in. Classic soap acting by these two brilliant performers.
Karen's standout scene: Leslie confronts Rick about being the father of Monica's baby (well... ) 




Chris Robinson
Rick Webber
June 9

Chris began his career on GH in 1978.
Dave's standout scene: I chose his final performance. He played a ghost of his character on the 50th anniversary episode along with Alan, Emily, Monica and Tracy. Tons of great history mentions.
Karen's standout scene: They tell Alan about their affair-- it's a bad video but it's a goodie also for Leslie C and Stuart D. Just a great scene





Tristan Rogers
Robert Scorpio
August 15

Tristan began his career on GH in December 1980.
Dave's standout scene: Walking with Burt Ramsey on the docks and arresting him as Mr. Big. 
Karen's standout scene: I remember this like it was yesterday!! Mac arrives in PC and Robert doesn't react well!! 




Tony Geary
Luke Spencer
December 14

Tony began his career on GH in 1978. 
Dave's standout scene: Luke was presumed dead and returned to Port Chuck to see his old friend Robert. Instead he meets up with Mrs. Scorpio.
Karen's standout scene:  Has to be Laura running Luke at the Mayor's mansion. I waited WEEKS for that reunion. When he yelled "Laura"?? My heart about stopped!! Such a scene.

    "Laura's office:

    Laura, Alexis, and Marty: Wait yeah Nik isn't dead, so this whole scene is confusing.

    Anna's home:

    Anna and Emma: Expelled?! From Berkley?!!? Why is she rebelling? I hope she doesn't say that her parents don't understand her and that they are neglecting her and they spend all their time with Noah!

    Emma: TBH.

    Huh?!

    Anna and Jason: When Jason said that Lulu found Charlie, I thought Anna was going to hug him. Whew! Glad she didn't.

    Bobbie's:

    Joss and Jack: I'm thinking is Jack lying about the video being deleted? Hmmm.

    Jack alone: AH HA! I knew it! He was lying.. Why though?

    Joss and Emma: What the hell was that all about?!

    The nail salon:

    Maxie and Sasha: I hope Sasha doesn't move!!!!!

    Miller and Davis office:

    Diane and Michael: Yup! This is ALL Nina! She is manipulating Willow. Michael it's sweet that you don't want a divorce, but Willow wants that scuzzball, so divorce time!

    Diane: Drew. Drew Cane? Turned Quartermaine. Your uncle Drew?

    ROFL! She would have won the line of the day, but someone else wins it.

    Metrocourt restaurant:

    Ava and Trina: I love Trina and Ava's hair! Who does their hair?! They are magic. :)

    Trina and Kai: Zzzzzz.

    Trina, Kai, and 2 football fans:

    The football fan guy wins the line of the day

    Football fan guy: Nothing is more important than football.

    BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! TRUTH! GO BILLS! :D

    Trina and Kai: Oh goodie. They are going off to have some fun. Zzzzzz. Where is Gio?

    Prague restaurant:

    Lulu and waiter: Lulu did you really have to ask the name of the restaurant? I mean the name is right outside the building isn't it?! Just a dumb scene.

    Lulu and Charlie: Geez Lulu is so pushy! Charlie said no! She don't want her papa alone and I love that! :) Glad Lulu stopped being pushy, but then a tracker? Where did she get a tracker from?! V.C.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my he looks so creepy, but yet zexy at the same time. :)"

    Today's comments: The original Brennan! YAY! :) Good to see him again. It's sad that Sasha moved! Great to see her and Maxie!! I'm so glad Emma didn't say that her parents don't understand her, and they spend all their time with Noah. So Drew graduated from scuzzball to Toad! ROFL!

  2. That was my favorite scene too at the Mayors mansion with Luke yelling LAURA........... That is why I couldn't believe that he was having affairs on Laura all those years (one of the reasons)

    2. “lindie says That was my favorite scene too at the Mayors mansion with Luke yelling LAURA...........”

      Yeah it always gives me chills whenever I watch that scene!!

      “That is why I couldn't believe that he was having affairs on Laura all those years”

      He would NEVER! I never bought it! The writers rewrote history! Ethan is really Robert and Holly’s son!

  3. I just watched ALL these clips. I counted 21 GH deaths for 2025 if I counted correctly.

    I personally lost 3 family members in 2025. I am looking forward to a happier 2026

    Happy New Year!!!!!!

  4. --I just rewatched the complete Laura comes back story few months ago and agree; there is no way that Luke cheated on Laura.
    --The Monica and Lesley moment that sticks with me is when Lesley delivered AJ on the floor of the Q's living room and Monica telling her the baby was Rick's.
    --Robert/Holly and Robert/Anna. I loved him with both.
