Jonathan Jackson may have exited General Hospital once again, but his real-life journey is just getting started. After a brief return as Lucky Spencer, Jackson is embracing a new path—one deeply rooted in faith, travel, and self-discovery.
Brief General Hospital Return, Big Life Shift
Fans were thrilled when Lucky Spencer resurfaced to support Lulu and face off with Kristina’s dangerous scheme. However, his screen time was fleeting. Lucky proposed to Liz, got rejected, and left Port Charles with his son Aiden to explore the world.
But while Lucky’s exit was scripted, Jackson’s real-life choices reflect a genuine evolution. Rather than chasing another soap gig, he’s investing in something more meaningful—his spiritual life and global experiences.
Jackson recently performed alongside Nashville co-star Clare Bowen, speaking openly about his 2025 Daytime Emmy nomination and, more notably, his life-changing connection to his Greek Orthodox faith. His passion has led him to Greece nearly a dozen times.
His travels aren’t just for relaxation. He’s visited sacred monasteries—some over 1,000 years old—where monks dedicate up to 14 hours a day in prayer. Jackson shared how deeply moved he was by this level of devotion. “They pray for us and the world,” he said, clearly humbled.
Jackson’s remarks paint the picture of a man transformed. While fans miss him on General Hospital, his heart now lies elsewhere. He describes his faith as his foundation, noting, “Our faith means everything to us; that’s where it all comes from.” His perspective has expanded well beyond scripts and scenes. Jackson now finds meaning in spiritual stillness, ancient rituals, and the peaceful corners of the world few ever see.
Jonathan Jackson’s departure from General Hospital marks not an end, but a beginning. His spiritual journey continues to inspire fans who admire more than just his acting talent. For more updates on General Hospital stars and storylines, keep reading Soap Opera Daily. Until next time!
