Ian Buchanan Returns to GENERAL HOSPITAL! Frank Valentini Promises Triangle Ahead

GENERAL HOSPITAL executive producer Frank Valentini took to Twitter on Friday to alert fans to a critical, can't-miss episode today. "The air show on Monday is not to be missed!" he promised. "We've been keeping a huge surprise under wraps." Well, it was indeed a great surprise twist (spoiler below).


Duke Lavery (Ian Buchanan) appeared near the end of the episode at the clinic where Anna and Luke were looking for Robin! "Duke Lavery" immediately started trending worldwide on Twitter with "Ian" and "Duke" trending in the United States.

"Our audience is very excited about the growing relationship between Luke [Tony Geary] and Anna [Finola Hughes] and their story looks like it has really good legs...so what's the best thing to do? Make a triangle!" Valentini tells TV Guide Magazine. "We will eventually find out that the Duke Lavery we saw die all those many years ago was an imposter. This is the real Duke."

Were you surprised? Did the hint of an unspoiled surprise convince you to tune in live? Are you looking forward to a Luke/Anna/Duke triangle?

  2. I think I have "Resurrection Fatigue." The symptoms are not unlike "Evil Twin Malaise" or "SORAS Ennui."

  8. Sorry,but I didn't watch GH at that time so I don't know the history of Duke. I was a big fan of Laura Wtight and followed her to GH from Guiding Light and so happy I did I love GH💜

  9. I was VERY surprised! I actually remember Anna and Duke's romance (which was awesome).

    I used to watch GH every few weeks and then it was every few months. But now it's can't miss. Love the direction of the show!

  10. Duke is nice and I never believed that Jonathan Paget was Duke. I think he was a decoy. Ian’s Duke was last seen at a clinic getting ready to change his face, then 4 months Jonathan came to town and announced he was Duke. Julian Jerome (Lucas’s Bio Dad) shot Paget.

  14. Pretty hysterical that the article takes pains to put in a jump to prevent revealing the spoiler that's in the headline.

  15. Guy, we updated the headline two days after Monday's episode aired and we no longer considered it a spoiler.
