If you've watched GH long enough you get used to them swapping out actors and actresses, so this really isn't a huge deal. Luckily they never pulled this crap with Frisco Jones or Robert Scorpio.

Can we now see some flashbacks?! I would love to see some boxcar scenes or when they "got married." TPTB need to revist why Lucky and Elizabeth fell in love so long ago. Lucky was the one who helped Elizabeth after she was raped. There is so much history! Now I have a reason to root for Lucky! JJ IS Lucky.

addicted2gh.wordpress.com-I actually felt bad for GV during yesterday's episode (not his fault mind you) because from the moment JJ came on screen it had felt to me as though Lucky had finally come home.

Great review, it is so true, the little looks and comments that took us back and memories flooded back. Now if Laura comes back........ WE NEED OUR CORE FAMILIES to balance
the sex, drugs and violence that makes GH so juicy to watch.

Couldn't agree more! Everything has more meaning now that JJ is back in the role. Can't wait to see the emotional battle these 2 characters go through when Lucky finds out about Liz's betrayal. Well played GH...well played!

I was disappointed. He looks like a young boy, very babyfaced, beside Liz.

I liked him as original lucky but I'll need more time to accept him as an adult, he just looks way to young and I find it offputting.

I agree. Loved GH back in their hey days and during Luke and Laura's return. I watch it occassionally now, but I made sure to tune in to Jackson's return. His phone call to Laura just made me want Genie Francis back! Jackson definitely has 'old soul' and chemistry with Herbst and Geary. I liked Vaughn. He was a decent recast but he was never written for. Now, GH will write for Lucky. imo

The casting director at GH is just genius at finding young talent, and I always thought young Jonathan Jackson was the find of that decade - even when he was a little kid on the show, he had such charisma and gravitas.

You're so right about poor Greg Vaughn. Nice guy, good enough actor - but he was never quite "it".

The writing for GV's Lucky was horrendous and therefore, he wasn't given enough storyline to carry. Other than the drug storyline and his affair with Maxie was he able to really show his acting chops. Also, GV's Lucky had potential to be in a quadrangle with Sam, Jason, and Liz, but that story was also dropped in favor of this. GV's Lucky was a sad sack (based on the writing, not the acting), and there wasn't much for GV to do. If the writing for JJ's Lucky is similar, then really what was the point?
