Why General Hospital Fans Are Angry About Lucky Leaving

In a shocking twist, which also seems a little random, Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) is leaving General Hospital shortly after the series brought him back. This development comes after Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) rejected his marriage proposal. General Hospital fans are not happy with this at all.

Fans hate Lucky’s storyline before leaving General Hospital

Jonathan Jackson originally started in the role back in 1991 as an 11-year-old. He played the role until 1999 and earned three Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Younger Actor. In 2009, the actor returned as Lucky. Two other actors had taken on the role in his absence. He left again in 2011 before briefly returning in 2015 for a few episodes.

In his current stint, Lucky was on the show for a longer stretch. But just as it seemed that his storyline was progressing, he has once again exited General Hospital. “We were so glad Jonathan was able to reprise the role of Lucky, even if it was for a limited time,” said Frank Valentini in a statement, “We wish him nothing but the best, and the door is always open for Jonathan to return.”

Lucky is leaving after Elizabeth turned down his marriage proposal in a recent episode, citing that she did not believe in his ability to commit and stay in Port Charles. Fans, however, were left thoroughly unimpressed by this development.

In a Facebook post, many fans pointed out that Lucky should not have been brought back if his stint was to end this way. “Why did they bother bringing him back. This sucks,” one fan wrote. “This Lucky storyline is crap gh. Horrible writing. He didn’t even have a real storyline,” another fan added.

Perhaps Lucky will return to General Hospital again. But as of now, Jonathan Jackson is leaving behind a trail of disappointed fans.
