Jonathan Jackson and Nathan Parsons to return for epic GH goodbye?

General Hospital is preparing for Anthony Geary's final days as Luke Spencer, and former cast mates Jonathan Jackson (Lucky) and Nathan Parsons (Ethan) could be on the list of stars slated to return for the special farewell episodes.

Fans have been bracing themselves for the upcoming exit of General Hospital's Anthony Geary (Luke Spencer), who announced his retirement from the show earlier this month, and the powers that be at the ABC soap have been preparing, as well. But what does the series have planned for Geary's grand exit, and could popular characters from Luke's past be making return appearances to help usher Luke off the canvas?

It was previously announced that Genie Francis will be returning as Laura Spencer for Geary's final story arc, and according to Daytime Confidential, three more fan favorites are rumored to be returning: Jonathan Jackson, who played Luke and Laura's beloved son, Lucky; Nathan Parsons, who played their son, Ethan; and a mystery leading lady who is rumored to be someone other than Francis or Jane Elliot (Tracy).

Whether or not the aforementioned returns will happen remains to be seen, but no matter what, Geary's farewell scenes are set to be exciting. GH head writer Ron Carlivati teased to Soap Opera Digest that he hopes to incorporate adventure into the story as a way to honor Luke's past -- which has had more adventure than most soap opera characters combined. So hold onto your hats GH fans, because Geary's exit is sure to be an emotional and wild ride.
