Nice to see Shannen offering up her thoughts and prays for Luke then.

Geez, he's my age!

Damn. First Shannen gets cancer, now Luke has a stroke. Why are my two favorites from 90210 so cursed? (And, Luke has also had cancer before, although he caught it early.) 52 is WAY too young to go. Definitely hoping for the best. (Now, I *really* hope Jason, Jennie, and the others cancel that stupid 90210 "reboot" out of respect for their former castmate.)

In 2007, my then 77-year-old mother suffered a stroke. She recovered, although she was in a wheelchair for the rest of her life (she lost the use of her left arm and leg).
So, let's not write Luke off just yet. He's still young, he has a good chance to recover.

That's what I'm hoping, too. When/if he recovers, I really hope he quits smoking if he hasn't already. This plus his colon cancer scare should be a wake-up call, just like breast cancer was (hopefully) a wake-up call for Shannen. Cigarettes are awful, and they WILL kill you.

So Luke smoked. That probably was a contributing cause to the stroke.
Yeah, this should be a wake up call to him to kick that habit.

Very surprised that Jason Priestley hasn't said anything on either his Twitter or Instagram. He and Luke are as close as their characters were, and it has to be devastating for him to hear this about his friend. Maybe, he's still trying to process the news and doesn't know what to say yet. *shrug* However, Ian Ziering has come out in support for Luke: www.instagram.com/ianziering/p/BubymTDg2xW/As has Christine Elise (aka. Emily Valentine):

Wish him all the best. Jeez, 52 is way too young. Be better soon!

My dad was 49 when he died from liver problems through drinking so yes 52 is no age to go then.

Could be that Jason was completely blindsided by this news. He might post, once he gets his thoughts in order.
Any further news?

Aside from his cancer scare from a few years ago (which I had only learned about last month), he seemed to be otherwise healthy and normal. Plus, he's only 52. Jennie Garth hasn't said a peep on her Twitter or Instagram either. Like Jason, she had remained friends with Luke long after the show ended (he even appeared on WILAY with her in 2005), so you'd think that she'd have at least something to say about this. Instead, her most recent post has been her shilling that stupid "reboot". Notice all of the comments asking about Luke. Nothing from Tori, Gabrielle, or Brian either. I get that their characters weren't as close to Dylan as Brenda, Brandon, and Kelly, but Steve wasn't close to Dylan either, yet Ian still found the time to support Luke. (Also, it really pisses me off that the "reboot" thing was announced on the same day this happened, especially since it had already been taking heat for excluding Brenda and Dylan. I get that it's probably just a bad coincidence, but it still feels disrespectful.)

Hey, Jennie, forget that stupid reboot and focus on something important, your friend's life.
I've noticed in pictures that Luke looks so old! He's the same age as me, yet looks years older. I guess his cigarette habit was the cause of that.

I've noticed the same thing with Shannen, but to an even greater extent -- she now arguably looks even older than Luke, despite being almost 5 years younger than him. Cancer sticks are a surefire way to age you. If Luke makes it, he needs to quit smoking immediately if he hasn't already. People who smoke after having a stroke increase their risk of death by threefold.
