General Hospital blog would like to thank Guy Wilson for stepping in Jackson’s shoes during a front burner storyline. Let’s give him the warm-welcome that he deserves.
Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) finds herself sharing food from Bobbie’s with GH’s newest patient. Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) was brought in after a hit and run left him for dead. Thankfully, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) stumbled upon Gannon out on Lookout Point. He was at the right place at the right time, and essentially saved his life. Just like a guardian angel.
Meanwhile, Port Charles’s Deputy Mayor works overtime to make Dr. Gannon comfortable. GH recaps recall that Jordan took a special interest in Dr. Gannon’s recovery. First and foremost, she’s a professional and needs to gather information on Lucky Spencer. But then things got cozy between Jordan and Isaiah when she brought a carryout from Bobbie’s. Amidst the danger and drama, they bonded over from fries.
Moreover, the insightful doctor had some information for Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) that could help bring Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) home to save his sister Lulu (Alexa Havins. So far lucky is Lulu’s best chance st survival. However, GH rumors hint toward a Lucky’s rocky road back home. So what if Lucky doesn’t make it back to Port Charles in time to save Lulu?
Isaiah Gannon saves Lulu’s Life
According to recent General Hospital spoilers and rumors, Lucky’s BFF Dr. Gannon is still a target. Like Jordan mentioned, someone wants Isaiah dead. GH fans might object to this potential storyline since it seems like Jordan and Dr. Gannon are really hitting it off. Many want to see Jordan happy with a man who deserves her. Will she and Isaiah even get the chance?
Mayor Laura Spencer Collins has been through more in her life than the average grandmother. The adventures of her youth shaped Laura into the wife, mother, and grandmother that she is today. These days, a day in the life looks much different for Mrs. Collin’s than it did back when she was a Webber wrapped up in Luke’s world.
General Hospital recaps remind GH fans of Laura’s recent losses. In the matter of a short time, Mayor Collin has experienced great loss and tragedy in her life. Most recently, she lost her grandson. Spencer Cassadine (Nicholas Alexander Chavez) and Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) were interrupted when his crazy ex-girlfriend Esme welcomed herself aboard on the ship to Paris.
Unexpectedly, Esme Prince (Avery Kristen Pohl) popped up and that’s when Spencer and Esme fell into the water. Laura receive the devastating news that baby Ace (Jay and Joey Clay) had lost his mom and his big brother. But prior to losing her grandson, Laura’s son Nikolas went missing.
Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma/Adam Huss) was the source of Laura’s most recent stress. Sadly, his choices led to many of the unfortunate incidents within Laura’s immediate family.
Laura now lives in Port Charles as her daughter Lulu (Emme Rylan) lies in a coma. Furthermore, her son Lucky is not even in the same country, Nikolas is still out there somewhere, and Spencer is presumed dead.
According to the latest General Hospital news, Jonathan Jackson is set to return as Lucky Spencer. Finally, Laura can breathe easier now that her son Lucky is home.
Although a few actors have played Luke and Laura’s son Lucky Spencer, Jonathan Jackson is most recognized for the role. Jackson nor his character Lucky Spencer have been seen around Port Charles in years. But thankfully the role of lucky hasn’t been killed off, and there’s a chance that someday he’ll return.
Over the years, Jonathan Jackson’s look has varied from short to long hair, but never quite like this. According to General Hospital news, Jackson revealed a much longer hairstyle via Instagram. He informed fans his new movie, Unsung Hero is the reason for this Lion’s mane look.
If you’re missing Lucky Spencer and Jonathan Jackson on screen, then check out the Unsung Hero movie, in theaters on April 26th.
The name, Lucky Spencer, needs no introduction in the soap opera fandom. Lucky is an iconic character, almost like daytime drama royalty. His parents are none other than Lucas Lorenzo Spencer (Anthony Geary), and Laura Spencer (Genie Francis).
Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) didn’t just ride the coattails of his legendary parents; he and Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) made quite a love story .themselves, following in Luke and Laura’s infamous love.
General Hospital news reports reveal a ew want podcast interview with Jackson, discussing his role as Lucky Spencer on General Hospital. Jackson joined the cast in 1993 as Luke and Laura’s son. He exited the role in 1999, but returned in 2009-2011. His strong rows with the people of Port Charles left opportunity for his return visit in 2015.
General Hospital news reports state Jackson, just like his character, Lucky, moved to Ireland with his family. Although he is no longer living in LA, GH spoilers reveal he is willing to return.
General Hospital spoilers reveal Jackson’s interview left much to the imagination after he confirmed he is open to a return to GH. According to Dishing With Digest, JJ said to fans, “I always had it in my mind to come back periodically, so I’m always open to that.”
Now that Elizabeth has been consistently unlucky ???? in love, and she just lost her husband, Franco Baldwin (Roger Howarth), it would seem like the perfect time to bring a little “Luck” Elizabeth’s way.
Last year, General Hospital fans were in for a real treat when Réal Andrews returned to the canvas decades after his character’s departure.
Andrews entered the GH scene back on December 17th, 1996. He played the role of Marcus Taggert on and off until May of 2003.
General Hospital news reports Real Andrews has shared a nostalgic GH photo on Instagram. The pic dates back to the 90s Nirses Ball with a very young Liz Webber (Rebecca Herbst) and Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson), alongside Dara Jenson (Vanita Harbour), and Réal Andrews himself, as Marcus Taggert.
Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) is the daughter Jeff Webber (Richard Dean Anderson) and Carolyn Webber, whom fans have never met. Jeff and Carolyn were married and had children off screen, and only Jeff was brought to the canvas. Elizabeth has walked through her life in Port Charles with the closest person as a mother figure being her Grandmother, “Gram” Audrey Webber. Liz’s ex mother in law was also like a mother to her. Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) thought of her son Lucky’s (Jonathan Jackson) wife, as a child of her own. She was always there for Liz and Lucky when they struggled through life as a young couple and as new parents. Liz has made Laura a grandmother and she will always cherish that.
General Hospital news reports Elizabeth Webber’s mother was never physically introduced on screen. She has never visited her daughter in Port Charles. General Hospital rumors hint it’s time for Liz’s mom to make an appearance. GH news suggests many options for casting the role of Carolyn Webber.
General Hospital spoilers and rumors suggest Liz’s mom could be on her way to PC, finally putting a face with the name, Carolyn Webber. Is it time Elizabeth gets to know her mother?
Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma) and Ava Jerome (Maura West) are united in marriage, not for love, but for money. Although their union doesn’t just include the two of them. Nikolas’s son Spencer Cassadine (Nicolas Bechtel) is the third party in this sham of a marriage and he isn’t standing for it. Spencer has told his father that if he didn’t get rid of Ava, then he didn’t want anything to do with him. Nikolas loves his son immensely but that doesn’t mean he is going to let him call the shots. Lucky for Spencer, fate may take over and turn things around.
Nikolas and Ava both have a plan underway to try and get the other to cheer in order to break their prenuptial agreement. If one cheats, that person loses the Cassadine fortune. Nikolas is banking on Ava to cheat on him with Franco Baldwin (Roger Howarth) as they were pushed closer together during the intimate setting where Ava was being painted by Franco. And Ava has been trying to get Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) and Nikolas to rekindle their old fiery affair. Nik and Liz Have a long history of friendship and love. When they found each other in love after many years of close friendship, the timing was all wrong while Liz was already committed to Nik’s brother, Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson).
General Hospital spoilers indicate Nik and Ava’s business agreement (aka their marriage) is nearing it’s end. Nikolas is aware that Spencer doesn’t approve of his marriage to Ava and that weighs on him heavily. The bond with Elizabeth is already there even though she is upset with him for keeping Spencer and other loved ones in the dark regarding his whereabouts when presumed dead. Nikolas plans to push Ava into Franco’s arms so that she breaks their agreement and he walks away with his money and his son. General Hospital rumors hint that his plan will backfire but in a way that benefits his family. Falling for Elizabeth again would solve Nik’s problem with Spencer wanting Ava out of the picture. But can Nikolas fall for Liz and choose love and family over the Cassadine fortune?
There may be a way for Nikolas to have his cake and eat it too. Especially if he has Spencer in his corner. Spencer is known for working the system and finding opportunities to get his way. If a happy family is what Spencer wants, a happy family is what Spencer will get. General Hospital rumors claim Ava and Nikolas are well on their way to ending their marital agreement by circumstances that were put into motion by each party. And with the help of Spencer, everything just might work out for the best.
Where does this leave Franco? Franco and Elizabeth genuinely care for one another but they also have a rocky relationship. Franco’s intentions are good but many times he somehow manages to mess things up. Franco and Ava have been friends for a while though seeing them as a romantic couple doesn’t really seem to fit. Could these two become the next unexpected romance? If Liz leaves Franco for Nikolas, Franco may turn to Ava for a shoulder to lean on.
Will Spencer finally get the family he’s been looking for if Nikolas and Liz find each other in love again?
There are many reason why Lucky Spencer would want to return to Port Charles in the very near future. Recent General Hospital spoilers hint that Lucky could be returning to Port Charles very soon.
Between the holiday season and the resurfacing of Lucky’s brother Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma), the timing makes sense for Lucky to bring his son back to Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst), and to see his brother who has been presumed dead. Currently, Lucky and Elizabeth’s son, Aiden (Jason David), is staying in Ireland with his father Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) for the holidays. The child has to return to Port Charles sooner than later, and what better way to bring him back than his own father paying a visit in Port Charles.
There have been 3 actors to play the iconic role of Lucky Spencer, starting with the most well known actor as Lucky, Jonathan Jackson. Jackson originated the role and has been on General Hospital working alongside Daytime TV legends such as Anthony Geary (Lucas Lorenzo Spencer) and Genie Francis (Laura Webber Spencer). Jonathan Jackson is currently heavily involved in his band Enation but is not currently acting on TV. Jackson had a leading role on ABC’s Nashville, but since the end of that series, Jackson has not been steadily in a role.
Jacob Young and Greg Vaughan both had their time on General Hospital as well playing Lucky Spencer when Jackson left the show. In a recent interview with Soaps In Depth, Jacob Young revealed he would love to return to GH as Lucky. Young is off contract with The Bold and the Beautiful and disclosed his feelings toward the idea of returning. “It’s always been on my radar. Lucky was a really special time, and of course, I won the Emmy for that role, so that’s always gonna stick out in my mind.” Jackson said when asked about a possible return to GH. Although he states that he doesn’t see himself going on contract with General Hospital, he admits that The Bold and the Beautiful doesn’t have any roles open for him at the moment, however, General Hospital does.
Greg Vaughan was also a component in the Lucky Spencer saga throughout the years. However Vaughan is currently playing Eric Brady on NBC’s Days Of Our Lives and would mostly likely not be available to return to GH even for a short stint.
Although GH news has not confirmed the return of Lucky Spencer, it would seem to be the most logical time for the character to make himself present in Port Charles during this important time with his family now that Nikolas is alive. If Lucky were to return to Port Charles, which actor would GH fans prefer most?
