The comebacks just keep coming! Jonathan Jackson is returning to General Hospital as Lucky Spencer!
When GH executive producer Frank Valentini teased at the Daytime Emmys that a cast member was coming back whom fans would be excited to see again,
some thought it might be John J. York (Mac). Then Bryan Craig teased fans on social media and was later confirmed to return as Morgan for an episode in August. But now, Deadline is reporting that Jonathan Jackson will also return to Port Charles this summer for a reportedly lengthy stay! Jackson shared his excitement too.
Jackson got his big break joining GH in 1993 as Luke and Laura’s son, Lucky Spencer. Before leaving in 1999, he earned six Daytime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Younger Actor, winning three times.
The role of Lucky was recast with Jacob Young from 2000-03 before Greg Vaughan played the role from 2003-09. Jackson returned to the role in 2009, earning three more Emmy nominations and winning twice. Lucky left Port Charles for Ireland in 2011, but Jackson reprised the role in 2015 for Anthony Geary’s final storyline as Luke.
Outside of daytime TV, Jackson starred as Avery Barkley in ABC’s musical drama Nashville. Earlier this year, he appeared in the film Unsung Hero. He’s also a talented musician, performing with his band, Enation.
With Liz now single, it’s the perfect time for Lucky to re-enter her life, even if some fans are hoping for a rekindling with Jason. Laura will be delighted to see her son again too. What new drama awaits Lucky? Keep watching!
