‘General Hospital’: Is Luke Spencer Really Dead?

General Hospital icon Luke Spencer is supposedly dead. However, several clues suggest the fan fave is alive and being held against his will on GH. And soon, more may come to light about his “death” on the ABC sudser.

General Hospital: Luke Spencer “Dead”

Not long ago, on GHTracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) broke the tragic news that Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary) was dead. He was supposedly killed in a cable car accident.

Of course, everyone was devastated. Luke’s ex-wife Laura Spencer Collins (Genie Francis), was beside herself. And so were his longtime friends Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers) and super-spy Anna Devane (Finola Hughes).

All the General Hospital vets were in shock from the news. A beautiful memorial was held for him so his friends and family could say goodbye. But it didn’t provide the closure they were hoping for.

Laura is sure that Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) is behind her ex’s death. And all the legacy characters agree. Anna, Robert, and Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner) all agree.

And they’re on board to prove Victor is guilty. But, of course, fans know that Vic ordered Luke’s murder. But what if that’s just what he wants everyone to think?

Luke Still Alive on GH?

General Hospital watchers believe Luke Spencer’s alive and Victor’s prisoner. Indeed, the mega-villain has a flair for holding people hostage to use as leverage.

He kept Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) captive, as well as Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati). Plus, Holly Sutton (Emma Samms) and her son, Ethan Lovett (Nathan Parsons).

And most recently, Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring). All of these people were considered dead while they were Vic’s captives all along. So, most likely, he’s doing the same thing with Luke.

General Hospital Fans also suspect he’s in the same prison as Lucy. If that is the case, he might have been right under Anna’s nose when she and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) rescued Lucy.

But they think he is dead, so they aren’t looking for him. Instead, their main goal is to clear Anna’s name and destroy Vic. But Luke could still be in the prison in Paris. Indeed, it makes sense for Luke to be alive because the way he “died” doesn’t sit well with viewers.

For him to die in a fluke accident, off-screen does not make sense. His portrayer, Anthony Geary, is still alive and well. So fans can’t understand why he’d be killed off. Unless there’s more to it…

Tracy Q Return Could Signal Major Twist on General Hospital

Tracy is set to return to GH this April, and she’s coming back for a longer arc. Indeed, her return is great news. But it may also be a clue that Luke might pop up soon.

She might join the mission to make Victor pay for killing her longtime love. But she and the gang may get a surprise and find reason to believe he’s alive. If so, their scheme will turn into a rescue mission.

And Tracy could be front and center. Of course, Anthony is no longer acting. So, the showrunners may resurrect him off-screen. Then, when Tracy’s stint is over, she will likely return to Amsterdam to reunite with Luke.

Indeed, it seems like Tracy’s comeback coincides with this storyline. And fans hope the big reveal comes soon. So don’t miss an episode of the ABC soap because Luke Spencer may not be dead after all.
