by

Long-standing “General Hospital” fans have watched the character of Lucky Spencer appear and disappear throughout the years, but his most recent departure seems permanent. Known for his Emmy-winning portrayal by Jonathan Jackson, Lucky’s return in August 2024 was eagerly anticipated as a prolonged stay. Yet, starting from next week, he is preparing to bid farewell to Port Charles once more, leaving viewers curious about the reasons behind this decision.

Is Jonathan Jackson’s Lucky Spencer leaving General Hospital?

Indeed, it appears that the character portrayed by actor Jonathan Jackson, known as Lucky Spencer on General Hospital, is set to depart from the show following a nearly nine-month stint. This departure comes after an emotionally charged storyline in which Lucky proposed to his former spouse, Elizabeth Webber, played by Rebecca Herbst, who declined his proposal.

Not long ago, Lucky caught Liz off guard when he asked her to marry him. Yet, she politely turned him down, expressing that although she continues to cherish him, their life journeys are diverging. Liz feels that the town of Port Charles is limiting for Lucky, and remaining there might leave him feeling unfulfilled or inadequate.

In the following episode, Lucky ponders if his rejection by Liz was just temporary or permanent. He acknowledges that his proposal might have been hasty, but maintains his dedication. However, Liz remains resolute, pointing out her deep connections to Port Charles – family, friends, and a career. On the other hand, he feels restless about staying there. In the end, they decide to go their separate ways, understanding that their love might not conquer their contrasting needs. Shortly after, Lucky contemplated how to tell Aiden that he’s planning to depart soon, as Aiden wouldn’t be hearing the same news for the first time. The way he ultimately shares this information with Aiden will be unveiled in future episodes.

Although Jackson’s stint as Lucky Spencer is coming to an end, General Hospital’s executive producer Frank Valentini has hinted at a potential future comeback for the character. Valentini expressed his satisfaction with Jonathan Jackson reprising the role, even on a temporary basis, and stated, “We wish him nothing but success.” He further noted that the door remains open for Jackson to return in the future.
