Duke Lavery is a fictional character from the ABC Daytime soap opera General Hospital. The character was created in 1986 and portrayed by Ian Buchanan until 1989. Greg Beecroft took over the role from 1989 until 1990, when the character was believed to have been killed off. On August 27, 2012, Buchanan returned as a very much alive Duke amidst intense secrecy on the part of the series. However, on November 12, 2012, it was revealed that the Duke that resurfaced in August was actually the presumed dead Cesar Faison wearing a Duke mask, and the real Duke was being held captive alongside his former stepdaughter, the presumed dead Robin Scorpio.

Famous quotes containing the word duke:
“It seemed a long way from 143rd Street. Shaking hands with the Queen of England was a long way from being forced to sit in the colored section of the bus going into downtown Wilmington, North Carolina. Dancing with the Duke of Devonshire was a long way from not being allowed to bowl in Jefferson City, Missouri, because the white customers complained about it.”
—Althea Gibson (b. 1927)
