However, there was an unlikely soap star without those perfectly-chiseled looks other daytime actors had.

Anthony Geary broke the mold for daytime leading men.

Luke wasn’t the only character Geary played during his decades on and off “GH,” though.

However, “GH” came calling again.

By 1993, Geary was playing both Bill and Luke when Luke and Laura made their Port Charles comeback.

Bill even helped them escape the clutches of mobster Frank Smith.

However, years later, fans learned of a twist.

Tim was Luke’s brash and abusive father who died when he was young.

Lena was played by Laura Wright who usually brings Luke’s niece, Carly Corinthos, to life.

Luke accidentally killed his mother too.
