Genie Francis Felt On-Screen Partner Anthony Geary Die ‘In Her Sleep’
December 16, 2025

General Hospital actress Genie Francis is mourning her longtime TV partner Anthony Geary. The eight-time Daytime Emmy Award winner passed away yesterday in Amsterdam.
“This morning I woke up and went into my husband’s arms,” the soap opera star said. “In my sleep, my life was flashing before me and I was afraid of death. An hour later, I received a call from Frank Valentini, [General Hospital’s executive producer]. He told me Tony died.”
“I hadn’t spoken to him in years,” Genie continued on X (formerly Twitter). “But I felt his life end in my sleep last night, and with it a big part of … mine … No star burned brighter than Tony Geary. He was one of a kind.”
In 1981, the wedding of Luke and Laura (portrayed by Tony and Genie) drew an amazing 30 million viewers. To this day, it remains the highest rated episode in American daytime television history.
