General Hospital’s Jonathan Jackson Teases Lucky and Elizabeth’s First (Non-Imaginary) Face-To-Face

Discounting the recent reunion that took place entirely inside Lucky’s (Jonathan Jackson) rattled noggin, the tail end of the Monday, September 30 episode of General Hospital marked the first time that he and Liz (Rebecca Herbst) have crossed since 2015 — and outside Bobbie’s (formerly Kelly’s) no less.

Jonathan Jackson Preview Lucky/Liz Reunion

“We have had so many scenes [at the locale] over the years that it felt nostalgic,” mused Jackson during a recent sitdown with Soap Opera Digest. “The Lucky and Elizabeth moment. it’s one of those things — it’s like, the history is so rich and the setting and the characters and the memories, not only that we have, but the audience has, as well, and all of that strength is there. And it all kind of speaks for itself, really.

“I think as an actor, the most important thing is just to be present and to kind of just be in the moment and to listen because when everything else around you is already working for you, you don’t really need to overthink it. All of that subtext is there.”

As for the reunion itself, Jackson previews: “Unlike in his vision [of her in the dream], Elizabeth is not — outwardly, anyway — angry, or sort of chiding him. But there’s a tension there; there’s a lot of remorse and guilt, I think, in Lucky. And so in the scenes, there’s the familiarity and the awkwardness of the situation, of him not really being there for the last decade. And those levels were fun to play.

“It’s just an interesting dynamic that we go through in life, where you might have a kind of rapport with someone that is just natural and it clicks into place very quickly and that can exist on one level while all this unresolved tension exists simultaneously, and having all those layers kind of happening at the same time!”
