"If the story is interesting to me and it works out, I may come back to the show for six weeks or so," the 68-year-old actor told Entertainment Weekly.

"It depends on the writers and how far they want to look. We had just been repeating ourselves for a while. I had become a dad, a grandfather. There was no way I was going to stick around to become just another guy. If they come up with something, a twist, I would come for it," he added.

Executive producer Frank Valentini meanwhile reacted to his statement saying that his "millions of friends here" were "devastated" on his departure.

Talking about Geary's comeback, the executive producer explained to the media outlet that "it's not a question of him being able to stay or come back. It just has to be a good enough, solid to bring [him back]."

According to the publication, Geary is currently planning to retreat to Holland where, as he said, a place that no one would associate him to Luke.

"I realized that returning to this character was going to become my career. I learned that after all the attention I got playing the role, there weren't going to be a lot of offers coming in. I was so associated with this guy. So I made the conscious decision to find another place in the world where I could spend time with people who didn't know me," he explained.

However, that doesn't mean he loathed the one time Port Charles mayor.

"I'm not sick of Luke. He's an infinitely fascinating character," he said.
