General Hospital - MESSAGE BOARDS

I started watching in 2003 and have never seen anyone other than GV as Lucky. What do you guys think of the "old" Lucky returning? I don't think I'm too happy about it

Ah, thanks, I will have to go and check it out too.

I will never enjoy Lucky any more. Due to the Guidelines I can not say how I feel.

I've been watching forever, so I do remember JJ as Lucky. I liked him, but that was also ten years and many storylines ago. JJ had the advantage of being a main character in many memorable and strong s/l's. I thought Greg Vaughn was a terrific actro who did the best he could with the sparse garbage they wrote for him after the addiction s/l.

I'm trying to withhold judgement for a couple weeks until I see what they will do with the recast. Still, in my mind, JJ is young Lukcy and GV is adult Lucky. I have a hard time imagining JJ as adult Lucky.

I am eccstatic that the original Lucky has returned. He is a much better fit for Liz then this current one. The current one seems too old for her. Liz and Lucky were high school sweethearts and this Lucky seems a few years older. I would of liked the current character to stay on but be involved with another character on the show. Anyhow I am excited to see what Jonathan Jackson has to bring to the show now.

I think it would have been an interesting twist for the "old" Lucky to come back and for us to learn Greg Vaughn's Lucky was a fake who had been brainwashed into believing he was Lucky Spencer. I know, they don't look alike; but, crazier things have happened in Soapland. This would have been a good way to keep Greg Vaughn and have Jonathan Jackson back as well. It could also explain why Greg Vaughn's Lucky didn't get along with Luke. They were very close when JJ first aired as Lucky. This would also give Greg Vaughn a storyline of his own and one he could sink his teeth into as his character tries to find out who he really is and who brainwashed him in the first place. (Of course, we know Helena would probably have been responsible.) The "real" Lucky (JJ) could team up with his doppelganger (GV) to find out what happened when he was brainwashed all those years ago.

point blank: I couldn't be happier. I'm a JJ fan so I love him in almost anything he does. I'm glad they aren't doing a "real" lucky storyline--that would have turned me off big time. And yes JJ has a young face but there's no doubt he's a grown man. This debacle is the writers fault for losing sight of who lucky really is and I really hate the way they just dropped GV. Even so I love JJ and I will support him and as a GHFF, I will always support the show, because I'd rather see it through its bad years than have it replaced with some crappy reality show.

Jonathan Jackson still looks like a teenager. He is cute but he still got the boyish look and Greg Vaughan is 9 years older. I think Jonathan is 27 and Greg is like 36. I can't see Jonathan playing a role as a cop. I will have to see how this plays out before I make any comments.
