Evil Luke

In early 2014, after Luke Spencer and Scott Baldwin are imprisoned in Miscavige, "Evil Luke" takes the opportunity to switch places with his alternate personality, Luke. On February 20, Anna Devane rescues "Evil Luke" and Scott, but Luke's loved ones see that he's not acting like himself. On February 27, "Evil Luke" is released from the hospital and immediately starts hitting on Hayley Erin)|Kiki Jerome behind Tracy Qurtermaine's back. He also helps save A.J. Quartermaine from Carlos Rivera. On March 6, "Evil Luke" proposes to Tracy and she says yes. Evil Luke starts taking an interest in ELQ, but Tracy's son Ned Ashton doesn't trust him.

On March 24, it's revealed that "Evil Luke" is Julian Jerome's bankroller and the true head of the Jerome mob family. He wants to use ELQ to fund his drug operation and he wants to take Sonny Corinthos down. "Evil Luke" warns Julian that they're going to have problems if he finds out Julian is not taking care of his business. On March 25, "Evil Luke" talks to Sonny about Julian's mysterious backer and Sonny believes that his half-brother, Ric Lansing is Julian's boss.

Tracy and "Evil Luke" marry at the Nurses Ball and Ned reveals that he has convinced the other Quartermaines to oust Tracy as ELQ's CEO. Julian tells "Evil Luke" he wants to quit the mob, so "Evil Luke" hires a gunman to shoot Julian's son, Lucas Jones and tries to finish the job while he is at the hospital, but Julian stops him. "Evil Luke" and Julian frame Ric as the head of the Jerome crime family before "Evil Luke" prepares to leave with Tracy on their honeymoon.

On May 29, it was revealed that the real Luke is still being held hostage at Miscavige, where he's been drugged up continuously. "Evil Luke" pays Luke a visit before leaving town and taunts Luke about marrying Tracy, how he's been living his life and how he plans to take over Port Charles. Luke musters up the strength to threaten "Evil Luke" if he touches Tracy, but "Evil Luke" laughs off his threat. Luke spits in "Evil Luke's" face before "Evil Luke" tells him it's time for them to say goodbye. Luke tells "Evil Luke" that he can't kill him since he needs him, so "Evil Luke" agrees and says that he meant that he has to leave Port Charles for a little while and lay low. Before leaving, he tells Luke that he has a grandson named Rocco Falconeri. Luke asks "Evil Luke" who he is, so "Evil Luke" gets in his face and tauntingly says, "Who am I? That's the million dollar question, isn't it? Who do I look like? You? Lucas Lorenzo Spencer? But you want to know who's behind the face? You want to know who's pulling the strings, doing the dance? You want to know who's big buzzing brain is behind this genius plan? Let me tell you in the simplest possible terms…wouldn't you like to know." "Evil Luke" winks at Luke before leaving.

Evil Luke leaves Luke guessing on who he really is

On June 19, Tracy returned alone from their honeymoon. She told Michael that "Evil Luke" was a sleaze and that she was done with him, but it was a ploy so she and "Evil Luke" could take back control of ELQ. While "Evil Luke" is away, he has his associate, Mickey Diamond acting as his proxy. After Julian kills Mickey, he contacts "Evil Luke" and confronts him about the bomb that blew up Alexis' house. "Evil Luke" tells Julian if he gives up what he knows about Sonny, then they will have a truce. Julian refuses and hangs up on "Evil Luke". Ava contacted "Evil Luke" and proposed a partnership between the two of them. She reassured "Evil Luke" that she had the means to bring Sonny down and would get a hold of it soon. "Evil Luke's" plans to gain control of ELQ were foiled when Alice Gunderson told Michael Corinthos III that Tracy and "Luke" were conspiring to take ELQ, so Michael fired her. In retaliation, "Evil Luke" ordered Ava to kill Michael. When Ava couldn't go through with it, "Evil Luke" sent his henchmen, Kobe, to kill Michael. The plan didn't work out for "Evil Luke" when Michael killed Kobe.

Evil Luke hits on Kiki

On November 24, "Evil Luke" stopped Luke just as he had escaped from his cell. "Evil Luke" forced Luke back into his cell at gunpoint.

On Thanksgiving Day (shown from November 26 to December 3) "Evil Luke" (pretending to be a captured, tied up Luke) is released from Miscavige by Alexis and Julian. "Evil Luke" reunited with "his" family but is questioned by Detective Dante Falconeri about the crimes that he's suspected of committing. "Evil Luke" denies it and Alexis reveals that Luke was locked away in Miscavige while those crimes were committed. Everyone was stunned that there was (supposedly) an impostor pretending to be Luke for months, plus they confronted Lord Larry Ashton over his role in Luke's imprisonment and "Evil Luke's" scheme after "Evil Luke" revealed that he confronted his "impostor" about possibly being Larry. Cornered, Larry said he didn't have to answer to any of them and escaped in a getaway car. "Evil Luke" "learned" about a safe deposit box that Patrick Drake and Sam McCall found which contained a mask of his face. Later, Dante and Anna went to Julian's apartment to arrest him, only to see that the Luke impostor was also there, planning to kill Julian. Fake Luke claimed that he was the real Luke Spencer but Julian told them not to listen to him. Dante and Anna knew that he was not Luke since Luke was at the Quartermaine's and they knew he was wearing a mask. When Dante cuffed Fake Luke, Anna wanted to see who they were arresting, so they took off the Luke Spencer mask to see that it was none other than Cesar Faison, much to Dante's surprise, Anna's disgust and Julian's confusion. After Faison was arrested, "Evil Luke" "learned" that Faison was his impostor but rationalized it by reminding them of when Faison impersonated Duke Lavery back in 2012. After everything settled down and once "Evil Luke" was alone, he received a call from Faison, who said that everything worked like a charm on his end. "Evil Luke" said "ditto" and no one is any the wiser, revealing that the two arranged for Faison to be the decoy to throw everyone off of his trail.

On December 23, "Evil Luke" pretends to act like Luke by pulling a gun on Julian at Jerome Gallery. He then laughs and puts his gun down to reveals himself to Julian as the man he's still working for and that the real Luke is being held captive elsewhere. They are suddenly interrupted by Carlos Rivera who informs them that Jordan Ashford betrayed them by helping Shawn Butler save Ric who the PCPD now believes is not Julian's real boss. "Evil Luke" then commands Julian to take Jordan out.

Later, he is seen having lunch with his "daughter", Lulu and her husband, Dante. "Evil Luke" also talks to Duke Lavery about how they "both" were held captive by Faison and how's it like for Duke to be the new head of the Corinthos mob family after Sonny was sent to Pentonville Penitentiary for murdering A.J. Later, Julian informs his boss that he didn't kill Jordan and there has been a complication, killing Jordan will cause a mob war between them and her loyalties (Shawn and Duke).
