Digest has learned that Jonathan Jackson (Lucky) will be leaving his GH home in early 2012. While the show would not confirm, insiders say that it's a done deal. The four-time Emmy winner rejoined the soap in late 2009 after a 12-year absence, and took home his most recent Emmy statuette earlier this year. There's no word yet if the show plans to recast.

No word yet on if the show plans to recast.

As if.

They'll recast with some hunk du jur in a few months.

Or maybe bring back Greg Vaughn?

His reurn BOMED big time imo

They got rid of GV for nothing

Deuces.

This ship keeps on sinking, what waste of a return.

Deuces.

+1! Bye! What an AWFUL return. The only thing that had me interested in his return was a potential to see his chemistry with RH onscreen but they blew that. Id love it if GV returned but this show is so awful that he is best away from it

Bring back GV please!!!!!

I say don't come back, after how GV was treated, he's better off away from this show. I say they're preparing for the end, especially if the rumor is true they're getting rid of the Spencer's

Yeah!!!

Pointless return, pointless character at this point. They destroyed Lucky more that they did with GV who at least sparked with some other people on canvas

Now just get rid of Lulu

You guys think he cried when the news settled in?

LOL.

He is a very overrated actor. I'm not surprised he's leaving at all. I was surprised he lasted three years. I figured he'd pull a Vanessa Marcil.

The writing for the character is also very crappy. Like it is for the rest of the Spencer family.

His reurn BOMED big time imo

What hasn't bombed on this show the last several years?

JJ is a smart guy. He's getting a leg up on everyone else on this sinking ship who will be out of a job this time next year.

Here's a shocker. TV Guide Magazine has learned that four-time Emmy winner Jonathan Jackson has decided to leave General Hospitaland his role as Lucky Spencer and will shoot his final scenes November 17. A rep for the ABC soap says "we can neither confirm nor deny" that Jackson is out. Word from the set is that the beloved and acclaimed actor is exhausted from a heavy work schedule and months of a harrowing storylines that have included the death of Lucky's child and the character's addiction to drugs. Sources say Jackson had attempted to get GH execs to lighten his schedule with no luck. He also wanted to be romantically reteamed with Rebecca Herbst (Liz) but struck out there, too. The actor has already completed his final scenes with TV dad Tony Geary (Luke). Look for Jackson to be off the air by mid-to-late December.
