I'm sorry, I do think Jonathan is a terrific actor and if he stayed on with the Lucky roll things would be different but I really feel he looks much to young for the part now. Lulu and he are supposed to be at least 10-11 years appart but they don't look that way at all.

I agree completely, he is too boy-ish to be playing this role.
Lucky is suppose to be boyish. Greg Vaughn was too old for the part. Lucky is suppose to be in his 20s. The age that Jonathan Jackson is.
I can't picture him with Sam,
Lucky doesn't have to be with Sam. Sam is with Jason. Plus, Sam does not define the character of Lucky. Lucky Spencer was on the show long before Sam came along. Also, many people couldn't picture Greg Vaughn with Liz, as Luke and Laura's son, or as Nik's younger brother.
I can't picture him as a seasoned cop, I can't picture him with any sense of authority when he questions Jason and Sonny.
I can't picture Greg Vaughn as a seasoned cop. Greg Vaughn's Lucky was always clumsy and having too many accidents to be taken seriously. I remember once he fell and broke his back trying to save Liz and Lib68z ended up having to save him after he screamed for help.
Greg Vaughn's Lucky never had any sense of authority with Sonny or Jason. He always came off as inferior and not confident. Jonathan's Lucky holds his own against Jason and Sonny and is very confident and sure of himself.
He was great in the role before, but he's far too boyish and Greg Vaughn is much better suited now.
I disagree. Greg Vaughn made Lucky kinda boring.
As for Greg, he was in the role for as long as Jonathan was, so the role was his.
The role was not Greg's. Jonathan Jackson made the role popular and originated the role. It doesn't matter if Greg was in it just as long. Jonathan made the role popular, and acted like a mixture of both Luke and Laura. Greg Vaughn was boring as Lucky. Plus, Jonathan will be in the role longer now. Jonathan was born to play Lucky. -

I have to agree with you Happyone. When I listen to Jonathan jackson I can't help but think he has more of a feminine voice than I do. I'm sorry but I don't see him as a rough, tough cop. Greg Vaughn however.rowr!
That is a manly looking man. From his voice and tattoos to his body. If I saw him walking down the street in a cop's uniform I'd buy it. Then probably beg him to take me away in his cop car. (j/k)
All kidding aside, Jonathan was a perfect young Lucky. However, when Greg was brought into the role, I believe that was the pivotal point when the character became an adult.
No threesomes unless it's boy, boy, girl, or Charlize Theron. -

happyone732002,
I agree 110%. Greg was perfect for the character the writers have made Lucky. He was believable as a cop, big brother, husband and father. JJ is still the same looking skinny kid (with a little more stubble). The only thing believable about JJ as Lucky now is the drug addict part. Luckily for me I find the current sotryline and focus on the Sonny and Jason (who I can't stand) to be totally boring and will no longer watch. Given the cancelations of many soaps GH will be lucky to survive another 5 years. Hopefully Greg Vaughan will move on to bigger and better things and JJ can find himself robbed of a job when this trainwreck of a show goes up in flames. -

What you said.
Jonathan leaving the show was the last straw for me. I had been looking forward to Lucky and Liz becoming the next Luke and Laura. When Jonathan left, Liz was left in Limbo and as far as I'm concerned her character never recovered. And Lucky today is not the same Lucky that would have been if Jonathan had never left. I would love to see THAT Lucky. -

Jonathan is not too young for the part. Greg Vaughn was too old for the part. Lucky is suppose to be in his 20s. Greg Vaughn looked too old to be in his 20s. Jonathan is the correct age for Lucky. Greg Vaughn was miscast.
It doesn't matter that Lulu and Lucky don't look 10-11 years apart. I have a friend who has a sibling who is 10 years older thada0n her. However, they only look a couple years older. Some siblings look the same age as their siblings even if they are older. Some people say that my mother looks like my sister even though she is 19 years older than me.
Plus, Greg Vaughn was too old to be Genie Francis' son. Greg Vaughn is only 11 years older than Genie Francis, and he looked older than Nik as well. -

Jonathan Jackson looks like a wimpy little boy trying to play tough cop.
Greg Vaughn grew into the Lucky role nicely.
I disagree. Greg Vaughn looked and acted like a wimp with his many accidents in the line of duty. I remember when GV's Lucky was trying to resuce Liz from Manny and fell and hurt his back, and started screaming. Liz had to rescue him instead. GV's Lucky was very wimpy and clumsy.
JJ's Lucky is a much cooler and interesting cop. -

Are you crazy? This is a tv show that is written by writers. They decide what will happen, not Greg. If anyone is whimpy it is JJ. There is no way in hell he is manly or could pull off being a cop.
Thats teenie boppers (or wanna be teenie boppers) for you.
