Jonathan Jackson Reveals Reason Behind His Sudden ‘General Hospital’ Exit: “The Hope Was To Stay On Longer”


Jonathan Jackson is explaining the reason behind his unexpected exit from General Hospital and his Lucky Spencer character.

“There was always that possibility because it was a bit of an experiment on my part to see if I could make it work with the family dynamic,” revealed Jackson, who is married with three children. In the recent episode which confirmed his pending exit, Jackson’s Lucky Spencer announced he would be leaving Port Charles after Liz (Rebecca Herbst) turned down his surprise marriage proposal. “We were so glad Jonathan was able to reprise the role of Lucky, even if was for a limited time,” General Hospital executive producer Frank Valentini said in a statement to media outlets.
