It's that I don't think he's shown half the talent of the above mentioned actors, or some not mentioned, nor the long term dedication... how many times has 'Luke' gone awol from GH during the past twenty years or so while other actors kept on working, and working very well? <br /><br />Nope, I just don't get this choice of Geary as #1 not at all.Riellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18390247849169786930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-35887847505809588032010-05-19T21:51:12.432-04:002010-05-19T21:51:12.432-04:00@zyxwvuts And yet, Snapper is allowed his opinion,...@zyxwvuts And yet, Snapper is allowed his opinion, just as you and others are allowed his. :)<br /><br />If Geary wasn't #1, he'd certainly be in the top 3, at least. I could make an argument for Larry Bryggman being #1, but why? I think we're all going to have our own ranking of the top 50. So if Snapper thinks differently...more power to him.Whore of Tucsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02509293144012237757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-45932430219573921592010-05-19T09:56:37.865-04:002010-05-19T09:56:37.865-04:00Tony Geary is the greatest soap actor ever.
Snapp...Tony Geary is the greatest soap actor ever.<br /><br />Snapper, why do you feel your opinion carries so much more weight than the 15 panelists that developed this list? That's rather obnoxious of you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-45985052159115383682010-05-19T09:52:50.334-04:002010-05-19T09:52:50.334-04:00Wow, you guys are really off in many respects with...Wow, you guys are really off in many respects with this list...and on a totally different planet with the #1 choice.

And, if he actually got a real storyline again, preferably with Genie Francis, I might watch a show that I haven't bothered with since the Claire Labine days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-23405241110158985262010-05-18T08:52:39.564-04:002010-05-18T08:52:39.564-04:00A true gift to every GH viewer...

THAT is what art is about. His creations may not be hanging on the wall of the Louvre, or MMA but the conception and execution of his works, is not any less grand. The fact that he can still create it, and make us feel every emotion we are capable of as human beings in the vacuum that GH has become (emulating reality TV, where the only thing they seem to want to make us feel is shock) is a true testament to Mr. Geary's genius. I so want to turn the television off, but I don't want to miss a minute of his performance and hold on hoping for another wonderful story written by Mr. Geary for some of our favorite GH characters. After L&L original tale, his Luke and Laura return story was my absolute favorite. Thank you just doesn't seem to be enough for all the amazing entertainment he has given us over his career, but all I have.<br />Thank you Mr. Geary. You have touched our hearts, souls and minds for three decades. We still can't get enough.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16634736599017895217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-56424159026066627592010-05-18T08:12:31.828-04:002010-05-18T08:12:31.828-04:00What is there to be said that hasn't already b...What is there to be said that hasn't already been said ? He is the epitome of what a great soap actor should be. I was talking to a friend just the other day trying to figure out who the nbumber 1 spot would go to and neither of us had a problem figuring out that Tony would be it.<br /><br />I often wonder if Luke would be the iconic character he is today if not for Tony's ability to bring such a human quality to the character. Whether he's working with GEnie, Jonathan or Julie or trading barbs with Jane or Jackie and Maurice you know that he's giving his all with every scene. He's a joy to watch and I could gush for hours about how special he is. Luke is who he is because of Tony and the number 1 spot is very well deservedJamilla Geterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06478639679727896843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-39463975136099541192010-05-18T07:50:47.573-04:002010-05-18T07:50:47.573-04:00Loved him for decades.Loved him for decades.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
