Quote Trueheart 6: 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.


But we don't know if he'll be a much better fit for her then then GV b/c we haven't seen the adult JJ/BH together yet. I'm going to wait and see b4 I make that assessment b/c it's too early for me to do that.

Just b/c they were high school sweethearts doesn't mean they'll be any better together as adults that they have been so far but that's JMO. They'd have to wipe out the whole last 6 yrs in order for them to be as good a fit as they were back then. ITA w/u tho that I'm excited to see what he can bring to the show now!!

Quote Stacy1975:
Quote HOT PINK: 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.


I keep seeing this theory but it doesn't make sense. A doppelganger is someone who looks just like someone else. GV and JJ look nothing alike. That means all of PC wouldv'e had to be brainwashed into thinking that GV's Lucky looked like JJ's Lucky. Interesting storyline but I don't think people are really thinking it through. To me it would've been better if Lucky had stayed dead all these years but that's not what happend. Now JJ has to come back and deal with this mess of a Lucky. I'm hoping for the best because, to me, he was one of the top three characters ever to grace GH.


It will be interesting to see, won't it, how JJ handles this mess of a Lucky b/c he was always the adventurous, fun-loving Lucky. I don't know how GH will explain this but I can't wait to find out!!

I am VERY excited for the return of JJ!!! (only a few more days!!!!). In a perfect world, they would have made him the real Lucky and had the past Lucky and his personality been a evil trick from Helena. However, this is not to be. I think that Lucky will now be a kicka$$ cop. Hoping he and Dante can team up and actually solve a case. I think that you will see some amazing chemistry between him and Tony Geary and understand the magic that was teenage Lucky and will hopefully still be there as JJ steps into

TG/JJ have always had awesome chem and I would be totally surprised if it changed now. It truly was magic btwn them, that's a good way to describe it. I don't think he and GV ever did hit it off, hence the Ethan s/l. I don't know for sure of course, it's just a guess.

I don’t care who plays Lucky because I have had enough of LnL2 and their history will always be there, JJ can’t change that. They hinder each other’s growth and development. Lucky of old (JJ) was Lizzie youth and Lucky of now (GV) was Lizzie throne in her side. Both characters changed because they outgrew one another a long time ago.

As I stated, I know JJ and GV don't look anything alike, but I do wish they could have found a way to keep GV on the show. I always adored JJ as Lucky; but, I also loved GV as well. You've brought up some great points, and guess we'll just have to wait to see how things go.

I think that they will have amazing chemistry like they did when they were younger. Since JJ left GH, personally, I haven't seen any chemistry between Liz and any other guy. Maybe Liz will finally be with a man who loves her and only her and not her sister or the Fair Samantha. I can't wait when we (hopefully) will find out that Lucky really is Jake's father. Lucky is too awesome of a father to not have any biological children.

It will definitely be interesting to see the dynamics between JJ's Lucky and Ethan. GV's Lucky and Ethan were beginning to get along, so I wonder if the writers will change that dynamic once JJ returns. Tomorrow ladies!!!

I just said this in another thread. It would take an awfully long time for the writers to unring that bell but I don't think they really could. Like u said they were teenage loves altho I'm willing to wait and see how they interact as adults and keep an open mind but I don't see how it can change after all the stuff they went thru.

We'll have to agree to disagree then b/c we don't know yet if they'll have amazing chem or not until we see them on screen. JJ's Lucky hurt Liz too by sleeping w/her sister Sarah when she was in love w/him so he's not perfect. There's only one person I've liked w/Liz since but I won't mention it here. I'm sorry but you'll have a very long wait b/c Lucky will never be Jake's father. SB has said that many, many times at his PA's.

I didn't know what all the fuss was about, so I did a little research and watched Lucky and Elizabeth 1998 on YouTube.

And now I understand his pull. I welcome JJ back to General Hospital as a great actor. He may be the answer to the Jasam and Liason war.

If Liz is happier in another relationship, it may make the Liz fans happy also. Their chemistry was like Jason and Robin's, innocent.





I'm a die-hard Liz fan and it wouldn't make me happy at all b/c even tho Lucky was played by a different actor back then there's still way too much water under the bridge. Unless they wipe out that entire s/l, which I see no way for them to do that, it wouldn't change anything for me. Plus he cheated on her back then w/her sister Sarah and he's cheated on her of late as well and I'm still angry about that. Liz loved him like crazy then but he only had eyes for Sarah!!






Okay, I hear you. I was looking for a quick fix to the angst on the MB.

I've been wondering how they were going to bring him back as the adult Lucky. I just recently watched the 1998 Lucky and Elizabeth storyline and they were fresh in my mind. I seen a preview were he was standing in the front door of someones house and says" Hi, remember me?" What did that mean? (Hope this wasn't a spoiler.)
