Geary says he and his fellow soap star "knew the worst about each other, but for the most part, remained friends anyway."

He became a fixture on the popular daytime television show as Robert Scorpio, a spy who became a police commissioner.

His arrival was perfectly timed — Scorpio was immediately thrust into the heart of one of the soap’s most iconic storylines: Luke Spencer’s ( Anthony Geary) legendary quest for the Ice Princess. The chemistry between the characters ignited a dynamic on-screen partnership, and behind the scenes, a lasting friendship between the actors was born.
