Key Takeaways

Jackson Wins Sixth Daytime Emmy
The 2025 Daytime Emmys marked Jonathan Jackson’s sixth win for the role of Lucky Spencer on GH. He won in 1995, 1998, 1999, 2011, 2012, and 2025. Over the course of 30 years, Jackson’s dedication to the role and the storytelling has remained steadfast.
As the son of legacy characters Luke (Anthony Geary) and Laura (Genie Francis), it isn’t shocking that Jackson has put his heart into his performances and built lasting relationships with his co-stars. While accepting his sixth Daytime Emmy, he mentioned his on-screen mom, telling Francis, “I owe you a debt of love that I will never be able to repay.”
He also mentioned Geary, revealing that he is with him in every single scene that he does, despite nothing being able to work with him this time on GH.
GH Wins Big at 2025 Daytime Emmys
Jonathan Jackson took home the award for Supporting Actor, Nancy Lee Grahn took home the award for Lead Actress, and Alley Mills won for the second year in the Guest Performer category. The ABC soap won for best drama, and with the storylines it has had this year, it wouldn’t be surprising if this winning streak also continues next year.
While Lucky is off-screen and spending time with Jake away from Port Charles, the actor could always return. He is very close friends with co-star Steve Burton (Jason Morgan), and still has love for the show he grew up on. It was a surprise to see him return this time, but with the proper storyline and actors involved, it would be good to see him again soon.
