U.S. soap veteran Anthony Geary has called his secret two-year romance with Elizabeth Taylor "a wonderful time" in a new TV interview.
The actor, who has played Luke Spencer on daily drama General Hospital since 1978, was prepared to take the affair with him to the grave - until Taylor herself confessed all.
Appearing on Wednesday's Oprah Winfrey Show, the actor said, "For many years I kept it quiet because it's not a gentlemanly thing to talk about, and then Elizabeth spoke about it in an interview... a few years ago and after that I thought, 'OK.'
"I spent a couple of years with her and it was a wonderful time in my life."
Geary reveals the romance started when Taylor was a guest on his TV soap in 1981: "She liked the soap and she liked Luke and then she sort of liked me when she found out who I was."
