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.".
. 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.
. Geary is rumored to be homosexual. A clip of his scene from the end of the serial The Dalek Invasion of Earth (1964) was used as a pre-credits sequence for the 20th anniversary story The Five Doctors (1983). He also portrayed Luke's twin cousin Bill Eckert on General Hospital from 1991 to 1993. His poor health - arteriosclerosis and cerebrovascular disease brought on by years of alcoholism - as well as poor relations with the new production team forced him to leave Doctor Who in 1966, although he reprised the role in the 10th Anniversary story The Three Doctors (1973) with the help of cue cards and pre-recorded inserts.

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 was a tough person to work with, according to the documentation about him. Spencer and Webber's 1981 wedding began what was arguably the greatest love affair in the history of General Hospital, if not daytime television. (See List of Doctor Who serials.). The character became so popular that the writers turned Luke Spencer into a protagonist. He appeared first on television in The Army Game from 1957-61, and in 1963 gave up movies and took the lead in Doctor Who, for which he is now most widely known. 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. In 1958 he appeared in the first Carry On film, Carry On Sergeant as Sergeant Grimshaw.
