Message: <blockquote data-quote="Daniel Avery" data-source="post: 309464" data-attributes="member: 27">Back when the show was interested in bringing Emma Samms's Holly back for a short plot arc, Samms developed Covid and the show had to re-direct.  The characters believed Holly drowned on a ship that sank, but we later saw Holly via a security camera being held captive someplace (which, in fact, was a brief scene Samms filmed via Zoom to help the show set up the potential return of the plot after Samms recovered).  Unfortunately she developed what they're calling Long Covid, which has made it pretty much impossible to pick up the plotline as they planned.     Fast forward to a few months ago when Drew was first re-introduced.  He was in a cell on Cassadine Island, but in a neighboring cell Drew heard a woman's voice, sounding as if she was also being held prisoner.  Many speculated it was Holly.  In the ensuing plot with collapsing tunnels and assorted gunplay no one mentioned the woman in the other cell, as if the show was trying to make us forget that plot point.    A few weeks ago some hit-woman tried (and failed) to kill Laura and Martin as they hid out in a safe house.  Cyrus had put out a hit on them, yet when Laura confronted Cyrus he claimed it wasn't him behind it, that someone else must be after her.  While he is an inveterate liar, I tended to believe him in this case.   Now we hear that Luke is "gone".  It's too soon to say if he's really dead (we've had a half-dozen 'back from the deads' in the last few months) but it sounds to me like part of a plotline that involves some of their most notable veteran characters.  My guess is that he's gone into hiding and let the people out to kill him think they succeeded.  It would be really cool if Luke has been working to find and free Holly all this time and had been just out of the line of sight of all the characters who were in Crete this fall, with Victor quietly trying to thwart Luke's efforts.  In the chaos of the cave-in/escapes, he might even have rescued Jason as well as Holly.But this is hard to imagine, since TG not only burned his bridges on his way out---he burned down most of the village. I tend to never say never in soaps, but the chance of Tony Geary returning is about as close to zero as it gets. The only thing that might....might entice him to return briefly would be the ability to film all his stuff in Europe where he lives, and work with Emma Samms and/or Jane Elliot (anyone but GF.....).   Writing too much stuff for Luke when the actor is so....finicky? might be too risky, so he'd have to have made some serious efforts to settle past differences.  Oh, and of course huge $$$ would not hurt.</blockquote>
