Anthony Geary

While his sexuality has not been corroborated, he has made it known that he has a second home in Amsterdam and speaks Dutch fluently, with many gossip columnists using this as "proof.". In 1989 he was knighted. Nowadays, he only works six months out of the year; with the advent of message boards, rumors have spread that he spends these six months in Amsterdam with his gay lover. In 1978, he married Mercia Tinker, and this final marriage lasted until his death. Geary is rumored to be homosexual. His next wife was Elizabeth, former wife of actor Richard Harris, but they soon divorced. He also portrayed Luke's twin cousin Bill Eckert on General Hospital from 1991 to 1993. Kay Kendall died in 1959, and in 1962 Harrison married actress Rachel Roberts, whom he divorced in 1971.

The early 1990s saw Luke Spencer in a series of nearly improbable storylines seemingly lifted from the pages of a spy novel, which only served to further the character's popularity. He also starred in 1967's Doctor Dolittle. Spencer and Webber's 1981 wedding began what was arguably the greatest love affair in the history of General Hospital, if not daytime television. Harrison was best known for his portrayal of Professor Henry Higgins in the musical My Fair Lady, based on the George Bernard Shaw play Pygmalion, especially after he reprised the role in the 1964 film version. The character became so popular that the writers turned Luke Spencer into a protagonist. It was rumoured that he tried for a reconciliation with Lilli, but changed his mind when he discovered that Kendall was terminally ill. Geary's character began as a "hit man" and later as a rapist who fell in love and subsequently married his victim, Laura Webber played by Genie Francis. Harrison and Palmer divorced in 1957, and he was soon remarried to actress Kay Kendall.
