On the Tuesday, October 8th episode of General Hospital, Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) is reeling from the news delivered by Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst); that his blood tests preclude him from being a viable liver donor for his sister, Lulu. Elizabeth explains that at some point he must have picked up a parasite in his travels, and gotten sick, and it affected his liver, but because of his elevated liver enzymes, if Lulu was to get his liver, she could become seriously ill and potentially die.

Lucky is rocked to his core and goes on to say how he stayed away too long, and now he can’t help his sister at her time of need. Next, Lucky heads to Lulu’s bedside where he tells her he is so sorry that he can’t save her. He takes her hand and says she’s always been a fighter, so she needs to fight now and hang on until they can find her a viable donor.

Next, Lucky is in for more anguish when Lulu’s son, Rocco (Finn Carr) overhears him and becomes upset and says “Aren’t you going to save my mom?” Lucky can’t believe how much his nephew has grown, but assures Rocco they will find his mother a liver.  Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) arrives on the scene, hugs Lucky then learns he is not able to save Lulu. Beyond upset, Rocco runs off and Dante follows him.

Sam (Kelly Monaco) arrives at the hospital and sees Dante and Rocco in the hallway and sits down with them, after hearing Lucky can’t be Lulu’s donor. She and Dante tell Rocco that there is a match somewhere out there for Lulu (are we foreshadowing here?), and they just need to find that person.

Elizabeth breaks down in the ‘break’ room as Lucas (Van Hansis) comes by. She tells him, Lucky is going to blame himself for Lulu’s plight and when Lucky blames himself bad things happen. Cut to Bobbie’s and Lucky announces to the patrons that this is his family’s diner and they should all get the hell out, screaming at them to leave now. Next, he demolishes the place in angst and winds up on the floor.

So, what did you think of the performance of Jonathan Jackson? Were you hoping that Lucky would be Lulu’s donor after all? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

total bust of a storyline, don’t blame the show for trying to milk the drama, but we all know where this is going, (hope I’m wrong) seems like for some reason they want sam who will save Lulu life and thus killing off the character, as to why they want to go this route that no fan wants to see play out just goes to show you how out of touch the show is going with their audience. But I’m hoping I’m wrong about so many things, as for Lucky no being a donor and then throwing a tantrum, with no regard to property no less the establishment that bare his aunt name well I’m not surprise, he’s always has come across like a baby so him acting like one seem normal for him. Laura needs to bitch slap his ass and tell him to grow up. Damn Laura really hit the jackpot with her kids didn’t she? I mean one is kin prison, the other runs away from responsibility and poor Lulu just can’t catch a break.

I’ve been predicting that Sam is going to be Lulu’s liver donor for a while now.

Did not care for him playing that role

If this twist (i.e., trashing the place) is what JJ meant when he said Lucky is “more like Luke than before,” I give it a hearty thumbs down. His sister might be dying and he can’t hold it together enough not to trash the restaurant named after his aunt?

I was excited about JJ coming back, but they have to do better than this. With the exception of the stuff with Aiden, I haven’t cared about any of Lucky’s story or scenes so far. Maybe it’ll be better when Laura comes back.

Get rid of Carly,get a newer,younger Sonny who can be a priest,new storyline not with the mob,get rid of Portia,Christina,alexis,ava,molly,laura,lucy,bring back rebecca bugnig,get christian keyes as a romantic lead with Halle berry.

This is why I was “meh” about Lucky returning. I never cared for his constant red eyes and his crying back in the day and I don’t like it today. Loved him as a child actor. Don’t love his choices playing Lucky as an adult. Enough with with the bloodshot eyes and always crying. Pull up any YouTube clip of his last GH gig and he’s in full red-eye and tears. It’s played out. At this point I much more enjoy some subtlety or an understated performance. He’s more than capable. Show us something new. I wish someone would convince J.J. that he doesn’t have to always wear himself out overdoing these scenes.

well said. sometimes less is more.

I’ve watched GH off and on since the late 90’s, consistently since 2011. I remember bits and pieces of Lucky, mostly that I never really found the character likeable. Now, absolutely horrible and unwatchable. Please for the love of God take a shower and wash your hair. He’s just nasty looking and completely self absorbed. WTF are the writers thinking? This whole show is going down the drain.

Guess it’s a good thing that Aiden got to talk to Lucky before he got the devastating news about his liver not being viable for donation. With the really dark state of mind Lucky was in after he went to Bobbie’s, Aiden might have got the wrong idea and thought his dad was rejecting him.

You’re right, and if the writers did that deliberately, I give them credit.

I was cheering Joss for ripping into Lucky for throwing a tantrum in Bobbie’s. The writers should have left it there. He deserved to be ripped into. Then they show Joss having a change of heart. No! That’s what’s wrong with Lucky. People always giving him a pass. Enough. Grow up. Be a man. Raise your kid. Stay near your kid. Take bad news like a human, not an animal.

Re: Sam being Lulu’s donor: liver donors are living donors. If it’s true that the writers are to kill Sam off (BAD MOVE, GH!) It doesn’t necessarily have to be so she can donaye her liver. It could be anyone who is a match..
As far as Lucky’s reaction to the bad news, I can understand his anguish. Trashing Bobbies wasn’t a great move for him but he felt it was his only outlet at the time. I hope that he gets a better storyline going forward though because this current stuff is getting old fast. I’ve watched GH since day one and I’ve seen some really awful stories but this stuff is BAD. Enough. Let’s be happy that Lucky is home and get him the help he obviously needs.
Wake up, GH and give us some juicy stories!

Ava

On the Friday, November 13 episode of General Hospital, Drew (Cameron Mathison) convinces Ava (Maura West) they need to get married, to each other! Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) hopes to get the DNA results on Jude (Will Traval) she has waited for, and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) secretly co-conspire to find out who in Port Charles had the infamous tick!

Here’s what went down: Drew explained to Ava that they needed to get hitched ASAP, that way, they couldn’t be forced to testify against each other in the Jack Brennan case. After initially being kind of sick of the thought of marrying Drew, he made her change her mind, by throwing out the fact that if she lands in jail Sonny (Maurice Benard) will have Avery (Ayla Bullington) all to himself.

Next, Ava heads to GH to ask Lucas (Van Hansis) to be her witness in marrying Drew. Lucas has already figured out the reason Ava is marrying Drew because it has something to do with Brennan’s death. Explaining she hates the idea of getting married to Drew, she has run out of other options. Lucas agrees to help her, but firmly tells Ava nobody would believe it was a real marriage anyway.

CAN MOLLY AND JOE STOP THE WEDDING?

At the same time, Drew asked Martin (Michael E. Knight) for a post-nuptial agreement. Martin was not happy to hear that Drew was going to marry Ava, warning that prison was a better option than tying himself to a woman like Ave Jerome.

Eventually Ava, Lucas, Drew, and Martin gathered at the city clerk’s office. Lucas comes up with a way to derail or stall the nuptials by saying that they need to wait for Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) and Avery to show up, as they should be a part of this, too.

Lucas may have saved the day, because Molly (Kristen Vaganos) and Joe (Jonathan Bennett) went to Drew’s office to serve him his warrant, but found the office door open. Next, Joe found a sticky note on Drew’s folder that revealed Drew had obtained a marriage license. A light bulb goes off in his head and he realized Ava and Drew are getting married, so he and Molly rush off to City Hall to try and stop it.

IS JUDE THE TRUE BABY DADDY?

Elsewhere, after receiving a text message that the DNA results are in at the hospital, Brook Lynn ends her discussion over Jude and baby Phoebe with Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and runs out of the Quartermaines.

Once Brook Lynn gets off the elevator at GH, she sees Jude and Britt  Kelly Thiebaud) looking might close. She quickly heads back towards the elevator sight unseen and was clearly shaken by what she saw. Earlier at the doctors and nurses hub, Elizabeth helped Dante by confirming by an ear gesture they had worked out; that the patient with the tick was Ava Jerome.

You can check out the scenes where Lucas gets a visit from Ava and he learns she wants him to be her witness in marrying Drew at City Hall.

Now weigh-in: do you think Ava and Drew will tie the knot before Joe and Molly make it to City Hall? What do you think the DNA results will show once Brook Lynn gets her hands on them? Have they been tampered with? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section.

Realizing, Josslyn is in danger, Carly won’t sit by and let anything happen to her. She tells Valentin, “I’ve already lost one kid because of that man. I won’t lose another.”

Viewers won’t soon forget the devastation Carly felt when Morgan (Bryan Craig) died in a car bomb explosion back in 2016 because of Sonny’s dealings in the mob in a complex story involving Julian (William deVry) and Olivia Jerome (Tonja Walker).

SONNY IS READY FOR WAR

Meanwhile in the aftermath of his visit with Carly, Sonny told his brother Ric what went down when Josslyn disrespected him in front of his own daughter and hurt Avery. Since Josslyn already make it known that she no longer considers herself part of Sonny’s family, he’s decided to treat her accordingly.

Sonnys first step in payback is to take away her support system at JJE by approaching Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) again, but this time in a much less-friendly way.

Ric points out that this would go against every move Sonny made as a legitimate businessman in Port Charles and would mean he’s back in the mob? Sonny doubles down, saying Josslyn changed the game when she involved Avery. While he showed concern of how bad Carly would feel over all this year, he said he is ready to finish what Josslyn started.

At the Metro Court, Ava (Maura West) is listening to Avery explain what happened between Sonny and Josslyn and how much she hates Josslyn right now, which Ava seems to be OK with.

WILL JOSSLYN’S WORLD BLOW UP ON HER?

Speaking of Josslyn, she is on the pier still after her talk with Hudson and still crying over her confrontation with Sonny and Avery overhearing it, and what she told her sister. Lucas comes across her at the pier while out for his run.

Explaining how badly she feels for what she said about Sonny to Avery, Lucas says that eventually Avery will discover the truth about Sonny. He explains to Josslyn that even though Avery hates her now, she will come to realize that what she said about her father was the truth, and that Josslyn was not lying to her at all.

So, what do you think about Sonny ready to play dirty to take down Josslyn? How will Carly ensure her daughter does not wind up dead? Who do you think is in the right here? Is Josslyn’s vendetta against Sonny justified, at the cost of the relationships with her family? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.
