Webmaster Errol Posted Tuesday at 08:30 PM Webmaster Share Posted Tuesday at 08:30 PM Jonathan Jackson is making his long-awaited return as Lucky Spencer on “General Hospital,” Deadline‘s Lynette Rice reported. According to the outlet, Jackson will be back in Port Charles as his Daytime Emmy Award-winning character “later this summer in what is expected to be a long run.” This also marks the first time Jackson will have been back on the show since making a brief appearance in 2015. The news of Jackson’s return to the show coincides with executive producer Frank Valentini letting it slip earlier this month that a former male cast member would return and that fans would “go crazy for him.” Look for Jackson to begin taping later this summer at “General Hospital” with his first airdate set for early fall. Storyline details remain under wraps, but fans should expect a reunion of sorts between Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Lucky as they deal with what’s happening in their children’s lives, particularly Aidan Webber (Tristan Riggs), who announced to his mother that he was gay. Rebecca Herbst, Jonathan JacksonMichael Yada/ABC Separate from Jackson, Deadline also reports that more past characters are set to appear on the show in the next few months, which aligns with what I’d been hearing about the show as it gears up for a reset of sorts heading into the fall season under head writer Elizabeth Korte. On Monday, it was announced that Bryan Craig would return to the show as Morgan Corinthos for a single episode in early August, likely as a ghost or a vision as viewers will recall, the character was formally killed in a car bomb back in 2016 and has previously made brief appearances as a ghost or vision. Since making his formal exit from “General Hospital” in 2011, Jackson went on to star for six seasons on ABC’s “Nashville,” playing Avery Barkley, an aspiring country music star who went on to create a family with Hayden Panettiere’s (“Guiding Light”) country/pop singer character Juliette Barnes. On the film side, Jackson has appeared in such films as “Tuck Everlasting,” “Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights,” “Venom,” and more recently “Unsung Hero.” Note: The post Jonathan Jackson Back to ‘General Hospital’ as Lucky Spencer appeared first on the Soap Opera Network website.

Members ranger1rg Posted Tuesday at 08:57 PM Members Share Posted Tuesday at 08:57 PM Disappointing. I really wanted Greg Vaughan's Lucky to return. All I think about with JJ is tears, tears, and more tears. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Taoboi Posted Tuesday at 09:13 PM Members Share Posted Tuesday at 09:13 PM Hopefully it won't be like that. I'm just sooooooo happy. As soon as PM came on, I was hoping for this. Because Laura NEEDS her kids on canvas. And I hoped for it due to how she had been positioned. And this fall...her baby is coming home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my God, I'm spazzing out right now. LOL!!! That would send me to the moon even more than Lucky finally coming home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted Tuesday at 09:36 PM Members Share Posted Tuesday at 09:36 PM (edited) I cannot wait for Genie and JJ to share scenes together again, without it being all about Luke and Lucky. They had their own special relationship before the Nikolas/rape reveals, and his other returns were dominated by Geary. I was wondering if it was him when Frank teased it, then it came out the return was more like late summer/early fall. It takes time to relocate your family that is if they were still living abroad. I saw Deadline posted it, I assume they had the exclusive? Edited Tuesday at 09:36 PM by titan1978 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AMCOLTLLover Posted Tuesday at 10:46 PM Members Share Posted Tuesday at 10:46 PM Took them about a decade to get that character back. Can we have Lulu back now? Shouldn’t have been put in a coma in the first place more returnees? Please don’t let it be Brenda coz we know those current writers would let Nina win over her and I’m not having any of that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
