‘General Hospital’ Is Bringing Back Jonathan Jackson As Lucky Spencer
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: This is the announcement that General Hospital fans have been waiting for: Lucky Spencer, aka the Emmy-winning Jonathan Jackson, is on his way back to Port Charles.
Soap viewers have been salivating over the possibility of a major star returning after GH executive producer Frank Valentini teased it on the red carpet earlier this month at the Daytime Emmys. “A former cast member is coming back,” he told ABC7. “And I think that the audience will go crazy for him.” That him turned out to be Jackson, who hasn’t been on the soap since 2015 when he returned for a brief stint.
He’s coming home to the ABC sudser later this summer in what is expected to be a long run. More characters from GH‘s past will make appearances in the next few months, too.
The sudser already confirmed that Bryan Craig will reprise his role as Morgan Corinthos for one day in August. For those who lost track, Jackson originated the role of Lucky in 1993; he’s the beloved son of super-couple Luke and Laura Spencer (Anthony Geary and Genie Francis).
