General Hospital star Nancy Lee Grahn plays Alexis Davis, who is a Cassadine. By rights, the attorney should have been at odds with Luke Spencer, who regarded the Cassadines as his enemy. However, Luke and Alexis, whom he called "Natasha," were pals, as were Grahn and Anthony Geary, who played Luke. General Hospital star Nancy Lee Grahn recalls Anthony Geary View this post on Instagram Instagram Post"The actor I’ve learned the most from, loved to work with the most, revered the most, laughed with the most, was inspired by the most, got in the most trouble with and had the most fun with, was Tony Geary," Grahn proclaimed on Instagram. "He was a masterful craftsman, a wordsmith, irreverent, curious, intelligent, endlessly generous, clever, a good troublemaker," wrote Grahn, continuing, "dapper, delightfully naughty, a deep thinker, a great writer, editor and pontificator, almost always on the right side of every issue, sexy, sagacious, defiant, determined, kind and true."If Tone Tone, as I called him, hadn’t leapt out of the generic soapbox of yore, and broadened and expanded the definition and perception of a Daytime performer, I doubt I’d have ever taken a job in Daytime Television," Grahn, who won her third Daytime Emmy Award, her first in the Outstanding Lead Actress category in October, continued. "Tony was the pioneer of real, exciting, multi-dimensional, unpredictable acting in the Daytime Serial world. He brought excitement to the medium, and I was excited by it."Tony was my teacher, my champion, most daring partner in acting crime, and my cherished friend," Grahn concludes. "I will miss him in the flesh but will see that '[Expletive] em' twinkle in his eye forevermore." Hating on HelenaLuke and Alexis conspired to do away with Helena on General Hospital | Image: JPIOne common enemy Luke and Alexis had was the late Helena Cassadine, first played by Elizabeth Taylor, and then, later, Constance Towers. Helena had slit the throat of Alexis's mother with a dagger. Luke didn't care for Helena for several reasons. His wife, Laura (Genie Francis), had been kidnapped by the Cassadines in early 1982. Luke and Alexis conspired to kill Helena by rigging the parapet at Wyndemere. In a tragic twist, Katherine Bell (Mary Beth Evans) ended up being the unintended target. Helena finally met her fate when Luke shot her, ending her reign of terror against humanity. "Say, 'goodbye,' old woman," Luke said as he fired the gun he was holding, killing Helena.
