NEW YORK -- After 37 years on General Hospital, Anthony Geary's final episode airs Monday on ABC.
Geary has starred as the dark and dreamy Luke Spencer on the ABC soap opera since 1978.
"He was not created to be a heroic character," Geary told ABC News Nightline in a recent interview. "He was created to be an anti-hero and I have treasured the anti-side of the hero and pushed it for a long time."
