In current storyline, Lucky will soon ask his former wife Elizabeth Webber to remarry him, but unbeknownst to Lucky, Elizabeth has strong feelings for her former brother-in-law (and Lucky’s brother) Nikolas Cassadine. Pictured are Jackson with six-time Emmy winner Anthony Geary (Luke). The record-setting winner of 10 Emmys for Outstanding Daytime Drama, GENERAL HOSPITAL airs weekdays on ABC (3PM ET/2PM PT) and weeknights on SOAPnet (10PM ET/PT).

IF BECKY and JONATHAN are sticking around for the next 6 to 12 months i want them to get back to what they use to be it sickens me to even remember what they were to how they made them now .For the love of god please fix this once beautiful couple,all this lying ,betraying and and oh I don't love you it's somebody else is old and tired and it was never who this could would of been ,its gotten so ridiculous now i havent watch in months,I will watch the first week that jonathan is on to support him but after that is lights out for me until they fix the mess they made on gh with not just them but all the couples ,the only couple i like now is jasam . We need romance on gh and to believe that no matter how much you hurt each other the love is still there and you can always go back to the time when you wanted nothing but each other,now its just stupid triangles and angst,wheres the love on gh,Let jonathan and becky show us the love like they do so well when gh were in their glory years,nake us believe again .Welcome back cowboy

It's about time!!! He is the only Lucky! Maybe now they will do something good with the character, and, they can straighten out the Liz character too! I hate what they've turned her into! Pairing her with Jason was crazy, I just don't get how anyone could have liked the 2 of them together! Sam is perfect for Jason! She's the only one who can truly understand Jason's life and who fits into it! And very few recasts ever work on tv. I think the only recast I've ever liked was that of Carly. I did love Sarah Brown as the original, but Laura Wright made me forget that Sarah ever played the role. I still wish they would bring Laura back for good too! I hate Luke with Tracy! It's just wrong! I've been watching since before Luke and Laura ever got married originally, for 29 years now! Jason (and Jason with Sam) has been the only reason in the past few years I've kept watching, but now with Jonathan back, maybe it'll make it more interesting! Welcome back Jonathan!!!! Oh, and since this seems like a good time to vent about the show, why do they have to do the "rapid aging" thing with all the kids??? It's annoying as hell! Christina goes from 6 to 16 overnight??? WTF? Look at what they did to Lulu too! I mean, c'mon, Lucky was already at least 12 when she was just born. So how is it that Luke and Laura got married, what, 29 years ago, but Nicholas is older than that, and so is Lucky too??? Just because we like to watch a soap opera, doesn't mean we are stupid enough not to figure it out! lol Oh, and it's way past time for Kate to go, she's useless, and fix Alexis already, her "do as I say, not as I do" attitude makes me want to vomit! Can you say controlling??!! Ok, I'm done I think! lol

I am so glad Jonathan is back him and Rebecca look good together, l get goosebumps thinking of these two together.. I cant wait to see him , I just hope he can save the character of Lucky, Jonathan to the rescue. Thank you G.H writers so much his return to me is better than Franco coming to the show. Lucky and Liz forever. One more thing Jonathan Jackson looks like Ethan, they are two fine brothers now the Spencer brothers are hot.

Now this the TPTB chance to do right by liz and lucky, Before jason,nik,ric,zander or the subsitute lucky's there was one main man jonathan jackson [lucky]to becky herbst [liz] and as a Elizabeth fan first i dont want liz stuck with nik while he is still banging rebecca and still in love with emily while arguing with ethan over rebecca and this his crazy ass family hints helena tryin to kill liz and hurt her children,liz loved lucky since she was 15 years old and jonathan and becky can totally bring back what made us fell in love with them in the first place .I dont want lust or sex,I want love,romance ,love conquers all falling apart and building themselves back together again,lucky has been a damn great father to those boys and put them first ,thats the point of her not being with jason the danger and nik and his family is just as dangerous.It's time for that good,edgy ,caring ,laid back funny man to win instead of the bad boy,doom and gloom for once,jonathan jackson made lucky a legacy character ,liz hero and I think it's about time to make lucky that man again Jonathan jackson is just the man to do it.The real main man is back now WELCOME BACK JONATHAN .

Hate it, I liked JJ's Lucky when they were young, but now I want Nik and Liz only. Sorry, he looks like her kid brother or something. I want some grown up loving in the form of Nikolas and Liz. Now that is hot.

LOVE your post dee you took the words right out of my mouth jj is lucky he created him ,him and becky have damn great chemistry and he doesnt look all that young ,is that the best people can come up with. Becky and jonathan look the same age and for once im excited to actually see GH,liason was a couple i love but come on they havent been acknowledge in a year he is reconnecting with sam and niz is crap,before there was anybody else jonathan jackson [lucky] was the main man to becky herbst [liz] I am glad he is back and ready for them to bring the magic back to liz and lucky we long time viewers who knew them and love,welcome back Jonathan baby.
jessica , October 18, 2009
I cant wait!
I cant wait to see this. JJ and RH have such great chemistry and I cant wait to see it on screen once again!
Krystal , October 18, 2009 | url
Squeeeee!
I have waited ten years for this day!!! Why is it taking the 27th so long to get here, lol?

As for the people saying that JJ is "too young," "too pretty" to play Lucky, keep this in mind... Lucky WAS young and pretty. Lucky (the character) is JJ's age, NOT GV's. And, hello, he should look younger than GV because there's almost a decade between them. Furthermore, JJ is the one who MADE Lucky Spencer and NO ONE can deny that. He created a character that was a charming mix of Luke and Laura and then provided his own personal stamp. NO recast that followed him has EVER done that.

JJ was and is and always will be Lucky Spencer. Welcome home, Cowboy.
Dee , October 18, 2009

I want my liason back, and JJ coming back does not matter to me because Lucky not the reason I watch gh, Liz and Jason are my couple and Lucky could be with sam or someone, but i was done with Lucky and liz 2 weddings and fire ago. Bring on liason

greg vaughn is lucky. jonathan looks to girly to play lucky.
aj , October 17, 2009
where is greg/lucky going? i like him.............
i like j.j. as much as the others, but i do think that he does still look younger. i am a faithful & loyal fan of g.h. if i miss it during the day i will stay up & watch it on the soap channel at 3:00 a.m.
i am glad that claudia will be gone!!! i love dante with lulu!! and i love johnny & olivia!! eventually even sonny needs a wonderful person in his life. unless of course carly is furious with jax for keeping lots of important info from her and she goes back to sonny for the final time!!! and leave jason & sam alone!!! they are perfect!! smilies/smiley.gif

I really hope they put liz with lucky now that jj is back i never cared for any pairing besides jonathan and i stopped watching when they started this niz crap ,i hope the writers fix this mess and I will watch when i see improvment i will give them my ratings for the first week jonathan jackson is on to support him but after that i'll recap or youtube until tptb bring the magic the characters becky herbst and jonathan jackson created so please for the love of god dont mess this up like they did everything else on general hospital.All roads lead to the original liz and lucky AKA LnL2 hopefully

oNCE JJ LEFT LIZ AND LUCKY FELT LIKE A WHOLE DIFFERENT COUPLE TO ME ,I GAVE IT A SHOT FOR A YEAR BUT I DIDNT FEEL THAT CONNECTION AND I HAVENT WATCHED IN YEARS BUT NOW THAT JONATHAN JACKSON IS BACK I WANT HIM AND BECKY TO BRING THAT MAGIC BACK TO THE ROLES THE CHARACTERS CREATED AND THEY LOOK GREAT TOGETHER STILL ,HOPING FOR A REAL LNL2 AKA LIZ AND LUCKY REUNION
SAMMIE , October 17, 2009

WOW......he looks great, he could def be luke and laura's son and when he was younger, he acted more like luke, a little like laura, then either of the other 2 actors that portrayed lucky. i was always a die hard fan of JJ so no doubt i'm glad he's back. he even has the crazy hair like luke, lol and i can't wait for the scenes with ethan! i love him too, greg vaughns portrayal of lucky disliked him but maybe things will change. i do have a feeling that when the liz and nick thing comes out, lucky and nick will be enemies again, just like they were in the beginning. this lucky never got to have scenes with tyler of the loving brother thing. who knows, i'm just so glad he's back! can't wait to see him.....he doesn't look too young either. aren't he and rebecca the same age?? he just has a "baby face", i like that...the scruffy face greg is hot too but i'll take JJ sorry greg!

I remember being a little girl and watching GH. Lucky (JJ) was my favorite character. I haven't watched a full episodes since he left (probably before even. what's the saying? don't know what you have 'till it's gone.) I know it's been well over ten years. I tried to watch, but I never got Greg's "Lucky". He just seemed to harsh and rugged, everything that the Lucky I knew wasn't. I never liked his portrayal, but that is just my opinion. I know a lot do like him. All I've really got to say is that I'm super excited and come October 27, I'll be watching GH again!
Amber , October 17, 2009
yay
JJ and Becky look good together.
ALeix , October 16, 2009

I ALWAYS THOUGHT GV LOOKED TOO OLD FOR BECKY LOL AND JJ IS MARRIED TO AN OLDER WOMAN AND HAS A 6 AND 4 YEAR OLD ,I DON'T IT WILL BE THAT BIG OF A DEAL LOOK AT THE DANTE /OLIVIA/JOHNNY SCENERIO LOL BESIDES BECKY LOOKS YOUNG ANYWAYS AND THEY LOOK LIKE A YOUNG COUPLE ,AND IM SURE GV WILL LAND ON HIS FEET HE IS A GOOD ACTOR ,I TAKE IT AS WAIT AND SEE BEFORE I JUDGE IT MIGHT NOT BE THAT BAD AND JONATHAN JACKSON IS A DAMN GREAT ACTOR SO WE'LL SEE.
paris , October 16, 2009

Oh no!!! He looks so immature for the Lucky we know & love! Is this another Cougar relationship? hehehehe!!! Greg is so much more mature (looks) & very handsome! JJ is an effin kid/baby!! am not looking forward to this! Soory JJ fans - just MHO!!!
MissinGV , October 16, 2009
How will they be written?
I am excited that Jonathan is back I can't wait to see if their super-coupledom can survive time and the crappy storyline they are in...Jonathan has the chops to do it....it all is on Frons/Guza I doubt if they let this supercouple outshine his fav who he has carefully orchestrated ...but I'm still hoping for the best. Since I adore Becky w/Jason, Nik and Lucky it doesn't matter who she is with however it does matter if she is 'written' a kick-Ass storyline.
Darcy , October 16, 2009

I think once you see jj in action as the adult lucky you might feel differntly I dont know lol .I was a little worried about that too but than i remember how damn great actor he is and how much chemistry jj and becky have and it gets me excited and i think they still got it and besides becky and jj look the same age to me ,they look like they could pull off the young married couple thing ,jj has a 6 and 4 year old i dont think it will be as bad as some people think he looks young but not that young lol and his wife is older than him too i'll give it a chance because liz and j lucky were the real deal and i dont think thats gonna change it might a little but thats the fun something old thrown in with the new elements to liz and lucky and with his onscreen family like luke.
josephine m , October 15, 2009
Weird
This is gonna take some getting used to for me. I still think of JJ as a young kid/teenage Lucky. It's so weird to see him as an adult in this pic. He looks so much younger than Greg. It took some getting used to when Jacob Young (now JR on AMC)took over the role from JJ and then again when Greg took over when Jacob left.
Toni , October 14, 2009

God I hope the writers fix the mess they made of the liz and lucky relationship ,jj and becky were the real deal back in the day they were beautiful and lucky has been there for those two boys all along none else he has been the father figure in their life and jj would do an incredible job as a father because he is one just picturing him and becky playing a family is adorble they look like a young married couple,i want them to come full circle and be the people they truely are to eachother.Nic would never put her first because of rebecca and his crazy family and Jason would never put her first because of sonny and the mob life and he is with sam i actually liked liason at first but look what happened .LnL2 was damaged at first but ow that jj is back it can be salvaged the writers just need to get it right this time the original LnL2 deserve better they were magic and i still think they can be.
shanta , October 14, 2009

I think bringing JJ back will finally give our girl a front burner s/l she deserves. I hope they don't just drop him in the story line but have him come back from somewhere. The recent Lucky was an jackass.
kiki , October 14, 2009

I feel like I'm the only one who isn't excited.
LuSamFanFirst , October 13, 2009

Thank God! I'm so happy. JJ was the reason I started watching. I hope that Liz and Lucky have a full on beautiful love story as adults. Of course they'll have to work out the kinks of the last ten years that the writers made so awkward for the two, but Becky Herbst and Jonathan Jackson are so wonderful together and both look as great as that they did years ago.

Liz and Lucky SQUEEEEEEEEEEE! I love it and they looks perfect next to each other.

Now that JJ is back, he can pretty much do anything or go anywhere, and I am so excited to see where that is.

Yay for having him back on my screen. smilies/grin.gif

They all look amazing. Hopefully JJ can bring some life back to GH. Looking at him in the picture is almost like he never left!
Perfect! , October 13, 2009

omg wow i thought it wouldnt work but darn they look good together and this is from a die hard liason fan ,their doing nothing for them now and i hate niz,maybe they should salvage this once beautiful couple and make that magic appear again they look soo cute ,becky looks very young anyway and she is not that much older than him ,i want my girl happy and i think liz needs time to herself and figure out some things because right now lucky is the only one trying to be the man she needs and is all about her ,nic has rebecca and his family problems ,jason has his mob life and i guess sam,so im all for liz and lucky to get back together if done right jj and becky have damn great chemisty i grew up on these two so i'll give it a shot
shanta , October 13, 2009

OMG!! I am so way past ready for JJ to be back as Lucky! He was born to be L&L's son! I am so feakin excited to watch the chemistry explode on screen with JJ and his co-stars. He is Lucky Spencer!!!!! The original L&L2 is back! Bring it on!!

Becky does not look like his aunt. The cracking on JJ's age is getting old. He's a damn good actor and the show could use more of them. If I want to watch hot bodies with no substance I'll look at porn.

He looks gret, they look great, bring it on!
