Anthony Geary & Jonathan Jackson from General Hospital 10/28/09

Tuesday was Jonathan Jackson's first day back on General Hospital in the role of Lucky Spencer. It's a role he originated (as a youngster), coming onto the show in 1993 when Luke and Laura -- Anthony Geary and Genie Francis -- made their much-heralded return. Jonathan stayed on General Hospital till 1999, winning three Daytime Emmys in his tenure, and basically stamped the character as his own. That's why when he decided to return now, it's been a big deal.

After watching him Tuesday, working with Rebecca Herbst and Anthony Geary, I can say that it was a wise move to bring him back. No offense to Greg Vaughn, but he was never quite right as Lucky. Jonathan fell right back into the role and immediately made a huge difference.

I love Jonathan and Anthony. There are so great together.

Thank you for this interview. I hadn't watched GH in years, but JJ's return had me watching yesterday and today. He is just a phenomenal actor. In today's scenes all I kept thinking was- he has the acting chops to win an oscar. He is just that good!

The best thing General Hospital ever did, was bringing back JJ! No matter what anyone says, Lucky and Liz belong together. Just watch them together back in the 90's and you will understand.The last great super couple!

One last thing:

I LOVE how he admitted that he NEVER watched GH or the 'substitute' Lucky Spencers over the years! He's soooo cool for doing that!

He knows that he's still the F***ing man!!! He's got 3 Emmy's to prove it!
