Jonathan Jackson Reacts to Potential Lucky Recast on General Hospitaloriginally appeared onParade. Jonathan Jacksonreturned toGeneral Hospitallate last year, now nine months later the Daytime Emmy winner has vacated the role that made him popular. With the question of if the soap will recast the role or not, the actor has made his thoughts known. When the actor announced his exit,Frank Valentinithe executive producer for the soap toldTV Insider"We were so glad Jonathan was able to reprise the role of Lucky, even if it was for a limited time. We wish him nothing but the best, and the door is always open for Jonathan to return." Jackson responded to this statement toTV Insider,"That really means a lot, I hope that's the case. The bittersweet reality of it for me is all the positives that were happening on the show. Working with Frank and the writers was just an extremely positive experience, and I was really happy with where the character was and where the story was going. But if they're saying the door is still open, then that's amazing. The door is always open from my perspective, too, so we'll have to see how it goes logistically and see if there's a way to adjust and pivot certain realities, but I would hope that that would be able to happen." Discussing the possibility of the series recasting the role, as it has done in the past with Greg Vaugan and Jacob Young, theNashvillestar said, "I don't really see that happening, I mean, I could be wrong, but on a personal level, I would say, 'Well, that's too bad.' As an actor, there are so many things in life that are just out of your hands. That's their decision, but obviously, I would prefer that it's just left open so that I could hopefully come back and do more work there. I have a huge amount of respect for what they do and what they're juggling, and I hold all that in high regard. I understand that if I'm able to be a benefit for the show, then that's great, and if they need to move on from that, then I respect that." Fans have shown their support for the actor since his exit. One fan posted on X (Formerly twitter), "I have always rooted for Lucky and Elizabeth ❤️ Jonathan Jacksons portrayal of Lucky Spencer will be missed .I wish him well in his future endeavors, and I hope he enjoys his time spent with his family. Who knows, maybe he will make a guest appearance on GH in the near future!" While a second added, "I'm disappointed to see him leave again! They did nothing with Lucky for nine months so it's understandable. JJ is handling his departure with class.I wish him and his family the best" With a third saying, "I'm really sorry 2 c u go, @JonathanJackson !! I really enjoyed ur time back in Port Charles. I love watching u & Becky together. Great screen partners! U & Genie, together, light up the screen. I hope Lucky Spencer fans get 2 c u every now & again. Best to u & yours. 💛🥂" General Hospitalairs weekdays on ABC and streams weeknights on Hulu.
