My heart broke this week when I heard about the passing of General Hospital icon Anthony Geary. So many of us remember where we were when his character, Luke, married Laura.

We had the honor of interviewing Anthony Geary back in May of 2015 when he was retiring from the show. When we released the episode, Anthony sent me a text thanking me.
