'General Hospital' Is Bringing Back Jonathan Jackson to Play Lucky Spencer

Jonathan Jackson will be reprising his role as Lucky Spencer on 'General Hospital,' a role that won him five Daytime Emmy Awards.

Nearly 10 years after the 42-year-old actor last appeared on the ABC soap opera, Jackson announced the big news on Instagram on Tuesday, telling his followers that the fan-favorite character will soon make his long-awaited return to Port Charles. "Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I will be returning to General Hospital this summer as Lucky Spencer super excited and I can't wait to dig in and see what's going on in Port Charles," Jackson said in a video message posted to his page. Jackson is the original actor behind the role of Lucky -- the son of Luke and Laura Spencer (Anthony Geary and Genie Francis) -- and played the part on and off for more than two decades until officially departing in 2011.
