Well, it looks as though Tony Geary is indeed leaving the show at
the end of his contract. He was on Entertainment Tonight last night
(Monday, Dec. 12) and stated publicly for the first time, according
to the interviewer, that his character on General Hospital is done
with and it was time for him to do something else.  Supposedly his
contract is up in January, but I don't know how they are supposed 
to wrap him up, as Laura (Genie Francis) is scheduled to leave the 
show either this week or next.

Also, was able to catch the show yesterday and Luke and Laura are
in the Mayor's mansion alone after the reception that was held to
introduce all off the Mayor's commissioners to the press. The greek (?)
Stavros had planted two men in the mansion, one as the regular gardner's 
replacement and another as one of the caterer's helpers. They taped the
back door so that it would open after it was shut for the night and
then Stavros and his men sneak back into the mansion after everyone 
has gone home. Luke is just about to turn out the lights downstairs
and go up to join Laura in bed when the electricity goes off in the 
whole house and Laura screams Luke's name. End of show for Monday.
Today is going to be the day where they START wrapping up I think.
But anyone who watches soaps knows how long it takes to wrap things up.
