Eventually, in the show, Luke and Laura got married, and it became one of TV's most watched wedding.

Ten years ago, right before leaving General Hospital, Greary said:"I just get really tired of the whole Luke-and-Laura thing... Genie (Laura Webber) and I have both been dragging the corpse of that relationship around for 30 years."Anthony Greary continued to elaborate on how much it bothered him by saying:"Being hyphenated as Luke-and-Laura has been a real pain in the a**... It irritated me... Every time I was introduced anywhere in the last 33 years, they'd run the clip of the f**king wedding."However, the dream fictional "supercouple" finally divorced in 2001. Greary's left the show in 2015, and Luke Spencer was seen sailing into the fog.After leaving the show, Anthony Greary had some harsh things to say about the show he was on for more than three decades. Greary began:"Being in an industry where an actor's resume is less important than how he looks with his shirt off or how many Facebook followers he has. That is abhorrent to me… I feel bad for all the young [actors]. They don't have a clue how to survive in this rat-infested jungle."One of the reasons why Greary left the show was because he was asked to give up his right to rewrite Luke Spencer's dialogues, something they agreed to when he signed the contract. He spoke on the matter, saying:"After all my years with this character, I’m not about to let some new hire tell me how Luke would express an idea or emotion."Anthony Geary passed away at 78 and is best known for playing Luke Spencer on General Hospital.
