The role of Lucky Spencer on “General Hospital” will temporarily be played by former “Days of our Lives” star Guy Wilson (ex-Will Horton), beginning with the Tuesday, February 18 episode, Soap Opera Network can confirm.
Jonathan Jackson, who originated the role in 1993, and has appeared off and on ever since (with two other actors assuming the role in between), returned to the series on a full-time basis in August 2024, signing a multi-year contract with the daytime drama series.

In the episode airing on Tuesday, Lucky (Wilson) and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) are finally introduced to Aiden’s (Colin Cassidy) romantic friend, Tobias, who he had been talking about continuously since coming out to his mom in the December 20, 2023 episode of the series.
The name of the actor portraying Tobias was not released at press time, nor was the reason for the temporary switch in actors for Lucky Spencer.
Since making his final appearance on “Days of our Lives” in 2015, Wilson has appeared in numerous television shows including “Code Black,” “NCIS: Los Angeles,” “S.W.A.T.” and the miniseries “Angelyne.” He also had starring roles in such shows as “Bosch: Legacy” and “Youthful Daze.”
Look for Wilson to appear in just a handful of episodes as Jackson is already back taping at the series.
