GENERAL HOSPITAL: Lucky is Gut-Punched After Learning He Can’t Be Lulu’s Donor and Save Her Life
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!

Maurice Benard Gives High Praise to ‘General Hospital’ Writers; Teases Upcoming Sonny Scenes with Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric

With the highly-anticipated returns of Finola Hughes (Anna Devane) on this week’s June 24 episode of General Hospital, Steve Burton’s (Jason Morgan) upcoming return on July 13, which also serves as the ABC daytime drama’s 16,000 episode, things are about to fire on all cylinders in the story, as noted today by series star, Maurice Benard (Sonny Corinthos).
On Father’s Day, the three-time Daytime Emmy-winning actor and mental health activist took to his Instagram and expressed in a video that he has some unbelievable upcoming senes with the aforementioned Burton and Hughes. Add to that Nazneen Contractor (Justine Turner) and Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing), where Benard gave credit where credit is due to the GH writing team, which is led by co-head writers, Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten..
In this video, Benard said, “I just want to get on here and say that I did some work with Steve Burton, Finola Hughes, Rick Hearst, Nazneen Contractor, and they’re all just fantastic. Truly fantastic. But, I want to say the writing was just exceptional. It truly was. It was exceptional. So, thankful for that kind of writing. I know writers don’t get the credit a lot, but I just want to say to the General Hospital writing team, keep rolling!”
GENERAL HOSPITAL PREVIEW
So now the question becomes, with a major tease like that, what is about to go down between Sonny, Anna, Jason, Justine and Ric? Will we finally get to the end of the line for Sidwell (Carlo Rota), as previously teased by the GH co-head writers? Will we learn what happened to Jason and Anna, fully? Will Justine and Sonny becomes closer or stop their liaisons? And what of Ric? Will he be true blue to his brother or double-cross him? There is a lot at stake as we move further into the summer and one that looks like it could be one of the more exciting ones in years!
FINOLA HUGHES CONFIRMED AMAZING SCENES WITH MAURICE BENARD
As a punctuation point to his video, Benard also shared this written message in the post: “I just did some wonderful scenes with Steve Burton, Rick Hearst, Finola Hughes and Nazneen Contractor and and unbelievable writing, freaking amazing scenes that you will see in the near future on General Hospital.” In fact, Finola Hughes jumped in the post comment thread and responded, “I loved our scenes so much xxx”
Fans will most likely see all the scenes Benard referred to later in July, since GH tapes approximately six weeks ahead of air.
So, are you excited to see what Maurice is talking about? Are you hyped for what’s to come on GH? Any clue on what you think will go down between the main characters on the soap with the returns of Anna Devane and Jason Morgan to the mix? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

SINCE LEAVING GENERAL HOSPITAL
Previously, since his departure from the ABC soap opera. Chad starred alongside Zach Mendez in the world premiere of of Yum Yum at Annapolis, a new play written by Bruce Reisman. Duell last appeared on General Hospital on the January 21, 2025 episode.
The part was recast with Rory Gibson who debuted as the new Michael in May of 2025 during the Nurses’ Ball episodes and who has remained in the role since that time.
In an interview earlier this year on The Able Show, Duell said on his decision to exit the soap opera, “I was blessed to be part of that (show) for as long as I have, but what happens sometimes is if you’re doing the same thing, especially in a creative field for such a long time, you can get a little burnt out in a way. It can make you a little depressed, so that’s kind of what happened. On top of that, I had other things going on in my life at the time. My father passed away recently and I just needed a reset. So, I stepped away. A lot of times you have to go through some stuff to really step into that next level. I needed to kind of feel uncomfortable.”
So, what type of musical genre will Chad’s new song be? Country? Pop? Rock? Dance/Club? Something else? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below, and if you are eager to hear the new single next week via the comment section below.
