Why Would General Hospital Kill Of Luke Now…Or Is He Not Dead?

By Elizabeth Rose

General Hospital: Luke SpencerGeneral Hospital spoilers reveal the town mourning the loss of Luke Spencer, a character they and the audience barely thought about for years.

General Hospital Spoilers – What Is The Point Of Luke Spencer’s Death?

Back in 2016, Lulu Falconeri was convinced that her father, Luke Spencer, was dead and buried in the Cassadine Island tunnels but that turned out not to be true and the next year we saw Luke in an Amsterdam cafe when Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) walked in. That’s the last we even thought of the character until Tracy returned to town for the first episode of 2022 and announced Luke was “gone”.

And yes, we assumed gone meant dead and after saying “gone” once again on Tuesday, Tracy explained that Luke died in an Austrian cable car accident, which is weird to say the least. However, we now know Victor Cassadine was responsible for that accident, which Bobbie Spencer (Jacklyn Zeman) immediately suspected was not an accident at all.

This sets up a plot that could involve multiple characters trying to bring down Victor (Charles Shaughnessy) after discovering what he did. However, that still doesn’t answer why the show would kill off Luke now and how his death will have any impact with his kids scattered across the world.

We would want to see Lucky and Lulu’s reactions to this news, except Lucky’s happened off-camera and Lulu is still in a coma after the show fired Emme Rylan for no good reason last year. The only real reactions we are seeing are from Laura (Genie Francis), Tracy, and Bobbie. While that is all well and good, they are not his children and do not have as much impact.

GH Spoilers – But Is Luke Spencer Actually Dead?

We saw Julian Jerome’s (William deVry) body, we saw Franco Baldwin’s (Roger Howarth) body, but we have not seen Luke Spencer’s body and probably never will, so we can just assume he is presumed dead, right? Like, why kill him in a public transportation accident?

Tracy could have seen him through an illness and watched him die. Then, we’d be more apt to believe it. While we doubt Tony Geary will ever return to the soap, we just have another presumed dead character who technically can pop up again at any moment. Stay tuned to General Hospital to see how these stories play out.
