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. -

First - I am so glad Jonathan is back as Lucky. I liked the other Lucky's but Jonathan always had my heart. I haven't watched GH in a long while - but from the last episodes I caught, I was really getting annoyed with Lucky (Greg's version). Not necessarily the actor, mostly the writers and where they took Lucky. I am glad Jonathan is back and hopefully the writers and make Lucky Lucky again
Next, this whole debacle about Jonathan being too young for Lucky - I think you need to wrap your head around the fact that half of the 'younger' characters have aged incredibly fast on GH. I mean, Lulu was probably 8 in one episode and the next she aged to 15, or whatever. Michael too. The show has aged the young characters so they have a better story line, yet the keep the older characters the same apparently hoping that no one really realized the age difference there is suppose to be.
My point here being, it isn't Jonathan's fault that now he 'looks' too close in age to the younger characters. The younger characters should be a LOT younger than they are being portrayed right now. I still think Jonathan makes Lucky - and he really doesn't look out of place.. I think he's age1c84d very well since he was last on GH and grew up a lot.
He's in the perfect place right now for Lucky.

Lucky returned in 1993 as a 10-year-old and Elizabeth was introduced in 1997 as a 15-year-old making their ages easy to figure out. Lucky at this time would be 26 and Liz 27. Nikolas was introduced in 1996 having been the product of Laura while she was held prisoner by Stavros. This happened between the years 1981-1983. This would make him approximately 2 years older than Lucky; so 28.

Thank you, caylieb.
Jonathan Jackson is perfect as Lucky Spencer.
Really.So what if he looks young! Lucky is suppose to look young and be in his 20s. I look young for my age as well, and there is nothing wrong with that. Some people really seem to resent youth. -

No problem.
I like how people complain about the characters on soaps and how they age or don't age, or don't look like they should be playing that character Blah, blah, blah. But it has been said on here before, what if Jonathan had never left? Would people still be saying that he was too young to play the role of Lucky?! Lucky isn't old They NEVER aged him in the show, like they aged Lulu or Michael..
Plus - I think now Lucky and Luke look like son/father. All the other Lucky's never had the chemistry or looks Just my opinion

JJ grew up in the role unlike the actors who play Lulu, Kristina and Michael. If they didn't age the other characters to be teens then no one would be complaining about the age difference.
ENATION ROCKS!!!!
