General Hospital fans are bracing for an emotional week as Jonathan Jackson wraps up his run as Lucky Spencer! But don’t reach for the tissues just yet, because Jackson himself is dropping major hints that this might not be the final goodbye – it could be a dramatic setup for a much swifter return than anyone expects!
A Surprisingly Seamless Return – And a Desire to Stay!
Jonathan Jackson reveals that slipping back into the role of Lucky Spencer (a character he first played in 1993) felt incredibly natural and comfortable. Unlike his previous return, he felt no “difficulty” or “jarring” moments when stepping back into Lucky’s shoes. He easily found “the voice of the character” and was thoroughly enjoying the unfolding storyline. “I was really happy with where the character was and where the story was going,” Jackson shared – a telling admission that he wasn’t keen on leaving Port Charles at all!
The Door is WIDE OPEN: A Sign of a Swift Comeback?!
General Hospital themselves issued a statement that “left the door open” for Jackson’s return, a gesture he DEEPLY APPRECIATES. “That really means a lot,” he states. “I hope that’s the case.” Jackson further emphasized that “the door is always open from my perspective, too,” showcasing his absolute willingness to return. He admits there are “realities to adjust and pivot” logistically, but his desire to come back is crystal clear. With a role so easy to slip into, the actor’s strong desire, and the show’s open invitation, a “swift” return feels entirely within reach!
No Recast? Only One Lucky – Jonathan Jackson!
While some fans might worry about the possibility of Lucky Spencer being recast, Jonathan Jackson quickly dismisses that thought. “I don’t really see that happening,” he asserts. This reinforces the hope that if Lucky Spencer does make a comeback, it will be Jonathan Jackson – fantastic news for the loyal fans who’ve been waiting for him!
A Heartfelt Message: Goodbye… For Now!
Jackson expressed immense gratitude for the love and enthusiasm he received from viewers. He “apologizes for not being able to stay longer” and hopes fans can understand his “life dynamic.” This heartfelt message, coupled with his reaffirmation that he’s “extremely grateful for all that support,” highlights his deep connection to the GH fanbase. Despite this being a farewell, the entire tone of the article points to a goodbye that is distinctly… temporary!
