'General Hospital' Spoilers: Ian Buchanan's Duke Lavery is back, but what role will he play in Julian's death?
As fans know, one of the biggest plotlines for ABC's 'General Hospital' is the upcoming exit of Julian Jerome’s (William deVry) and the December 14, 2020, episode saw Julian being shot at by a masked gunman. While Julian ended up escaping, as Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) dealt with the surprise, GH spoilers reveal that Julian's death isn't too far. Thanks to Ian Buchanan, who plays Duke Lavery in the series, it has been revealed that the actor/character will be coming back as a ghost. According to revealed spoilers, Buchanan confirmed to a fan that he will make a comeback as Duke, "I’ll let you in on one little secret…I’m going to be there on Monday or Tuesday of this coming week, just appearing…ghosting…” the actor said.
Of course, he didn't dish on any plotlines or how/why he would be making a comeback, but if you've been following the soap opera, we can take a wild but plausible guess. As we know Julian has all but a few days left on 'General Hospital', and spoilers say that Duke's ghost will be a part of his exit scene. For now, although in danger, Julian is still alive and will make sure he tries his level best to leave town, but his death is inevitable. It has been said that before Julian sees the light, he will be haunted by ghosts from his criminal past.
Quick memory jog. Julian is the one who ordered a hit on Duke which was done by Carlos Rivera (Jeffrey Vincent Parise), so it would make sense for Julian to see Duke's ghost before he died. He has a long list of criminal history, so we're expecting more faces as well but Duke is most likely of one the ghosts that will "taunt" Julian who still has yet to be held accountable for all the crimes he's committed.
December 15, 2020, will also see Violet Finn's (Jophielle Love) wedding drama, Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) and Laura Collins (Genie Francis) get into some trouble on their road trip, and Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) has bad news
