Dad, I'm Gay | General Hospital (October 7th, 2024)

[@survivingthepettys6670]

Jonathan is really one of the greatest actors, he knocks everything out of the park, this is why he has won 5 Emmy's, so happy he is back.

[@michelletalksgh1176]

Pure ❤❤❤ there between a father and son well done gh and Jonathan welcome home ❤

“I'm your father and I luv you without exception, and if I've made you question that because I was gone, I'm sorry.”

I like that he gathered his thoughts before speaking. It was important to say it right.

[@InspectorTokage]

I knew Lucky would be accepting of Aiden since he was supportive of his cousin Lucas ☺️

Both whom were named after Lucus Lorenzo Spencer Sr.

[@shadowhunter9835]

I love this scene between lucky and Aidan. That hug was long overdue. I'm glad that they didn't make Aidan resent lucky.

[@missashe5819]

This!!!

[@sayres99]

You mean, despite the fact that Aiden has every conceivable reason and right to hate him?

[@LovelyJada216]

First of all- Jonathan is perfection! Second: Lucky is such an amazing example of how fathers should show up for their children. Listening, affirming, asking if they’re ok with being hugged ❤️ absolutely beautiful

[@AnnCarlton-t1z]

Great

[@KamalaIsTrash]

A parent shouldn't have to ask their own child if they are "okay" with being hugged. That's like the most natural thing in the World.

[@pebblessadebelle1111]

I loved this scene between Aiden and Lucky it brought tears to my eyes! So many kids and people live their lives in fear hiding who they are and when they can open up and be loved and accepted by their parents and others it's so amazing beautiful sweet! I did at first feel this new Aiden looked older to be Aiden but I am really liking him and he is a great actor and great addition to GH

[@jfblog23]

Jonathan Jackson is hands-down one of the best talents this show has ever produced, and so glad he’s back.

[@sandymoon4159]

I'm so darn happy with having Jonathan back on General Hospital, he's an excellent actor, has a beautiful voice, handsome, and how he excepted his son of being gay. Lucky hit it out of the ball park with his response, this scene was beautifully done. Made me cry. 😭❤

Same here!! Johnathan was perfection! This scene was deeply felt, bawled like a baby!🥲Thank you Jonathan!!👏👏⭐️

[@yvonnejackson7638]

Amen

and you should accept the conditions even if they go against your brainwashed religion and the false premises of the ancient texts that cannot inform about today's issues or today's sexuality

[@vulcan2882]

my parents always told my brothers and sister along with me they loved us no matter what. Their actons towards always proved it.

[@Joey-mj8id]

This was BOTH POIGNANT and BEAUTIFUL ♥️🙏♥️The tears are rolling down my cheek as I am watching this 🥲

[@nicolebarnes8397]

I loved this and I'm really lucky accepted him for how he is. Aidian must be relieved that he's out to his parents and both of them are accepting. I hope lucky sticks around

[@Joey-mj8id]

This scene should be EMMY material for both of these actors! 💜

[@writestuffla]

These scenes aren’t as “groundbreaking” anymore. They’re almost cliche now.

[@Jay-c9b9m]

There's nothing Emmy about a guy admitting he's gay.

[@blackalphagaming8010]

This whole l g b t and gay community thing 3:02 , it's run its course, but it's slowly dying, people are gonna have to accept this eventually, but to say this is emmy worthy shows exactly how much coping has riced

[@KamalaIsTrash]

Oh yes; every actor who portrays a Gay character should be worshiped and revered as a "God..."🤣

[@MrWendell29]

I'm not crying. You're crying!! My goodness. Jonathan Jackson got me with that "nothing! (I mean) nothing will change the way I feel about you." He knocked it out of the park. I felt that deeply. I needed more reaction from the actor that played Aiden. The hug helped. But Mr. Jackson was superb! So good! Glad Lucky is back.

[@devylanny.9146]

Exceptional from JJ! such a powerful moment!

[@bobbiejackson732]

Love this young man he came straight out and told his dad who he was. Elizabeth is the best mom on soaps .Hats off to her.

[@jarmainharrell7084]

This was not only phenomenal but truly incredible to witness. I may not know all the details of Lucky and Aiden's father-son relationship, but seeing Lucky fully embrace Aiden for who he is, with unwavering clarity and acceptance, was both beautiful and deeply moving. Moments like this are powerful, and we need to see more of them in the world.❤

[@raamin141]

JJ totally channeled AG in this scene. His mannerisms and all - he nailed the scene.

[@crystalsnow1138]

Someone else mentioned it, but wouldn't be cool if Anthony Geary came back to GH to have a scene with JJ like in a dream or something (since they killed off Luke). I would love to see them together onscreen again.

[@Alleycat20507]

He’s been channeling AG as lucky since taking on the role of lucky in 93. I remember as a kid thinking they were related

[@raamin141]

Also, what is so great about his performance is that he showed in a subtle way how we all become like our parents in many ways - like it or not.

[@yvonnecooper5004]

My thoughts also. Of course I'm a forever fan and would love to see Tony and JJ together. Genie too of course.

[@NovelasDoMundo]

Lucky Handled That Very Well! He probably didn't even finish handling the information before reassuring Aiden, because his son was his priority! Natalia could learn a thing or 2 from Him and Liz!

[@reginakizer5690]

Very true! The scene was well done by both actors.

[@jwporetenus]

Jonathan bringing love right out of his soul and using it to bring a scene to life. What a beautiful person he is, he truly elevates everything he touches.

[@andreaumba3509]

"I owe you a huge apology."

[@kevinscott1547]

I'm so glad that my Dad reacted similarly when I came out to him. Both of my parents gave me nothing but love and support all of my life and I miss them both so much.

[@rochellelkettle1067]

What Lucky said to Aiden then that hug made me cry!

[@MarthaMeredyk]

Lucky your the best father, loving Aiden for himself, we love & miss you, stay on GH please ❤❤

[@bbsteele671]

I came out at 15 in 1995 in KY of all places! Terrified that my Dad would disown me, but I've always been overly confident & opinionated so I had to get it off my chest asap! I knew at the age of 6 so I had already been hiding it for a long time. My father was the absolute best! He told me that he would always love me and that he was so proud of my standing in my truth. He ended up treating me like he treated my sister when it came to dating. All the boys had to come to the front door to pick me up. No honking. My entire family was a blessing! Even my extended family accepted me. I was so lucky and I never take that for granted. Sadly, my family all passed away in my early 30's leaving me to navigate this new scary world alone, but boy did they teach me how to stand proud, to be honest, and to spread as much love around the world as possible. I hope I am making them proud!

[@cocoaorange1]

No offense, how does a 6 year old know they are gay?

[@EbonyCoulter6723]

Gonna say lucky handle vary well. that his son is Gay still loves him no matter what

I'm loving this new and improved Lucky Spencer ❤. That's how you supposed to be with your kids ❤❤❤

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

Lucky is like… what upsets me is that you had any fear to tell me this, that you didn’t *know* with certainty that I would love and accept you

[@joannaaguilar4961]

It doesn't matter if you're gay or not your parents and your grandma will always love you 4:04

[@traceyjackson4470]

[@lisahiggins6060]

I loved this! I started watching way back before Luke & Laura was Luke & Laura. So Luke, Laura and Lucky, to me, are GH! I love that Lucky is back!

[@mrmarvincajuste]

Hopefully now that Lucky is back he will be father to his son Aiden

[@saratrosper4921]

I am so glad they are having Lucky admitted and deal with the fact he abandoned his family at some point I hope they will let him see Cam and Jake as well and speak to them the same way

[@tmartin1747]

I love Lucky taking responsibility when he said "no excuses." Lucky always struck me as a character who would be/was a loving, engaged father.It didn't fit with the character that he was an absentee father 4 a bit (Though I do get that's the nature of soaps when a character/actor leaves the show).

[@eurisko3676]

They look the same age.

[@lightlantern]

JJ Is Magic!!

[@doris_1325]

What an incredible scene! I am not gay neither is my kid but as a parent it is very important to me that he knows he is truly loved and cared for regardless of where he is in life. ❤

[@amandaredd3057]

They're so lucky to have Jonathan. They've been fortunate with him and to have had Tony Geary. They both are absolutely amazing actors

"I'm Your Father I luv you without exceptions and If I've made you Question that Because i was Gone I'm sorry "

[@michellechizever6]

If my son Kevin came to me and said "mom, I am gay: I wouldn't love him any less

[@lonnycape4418]

This scene reminds me of myself. When I told my parents at age 15 that I am gay. Coming from a Latino family and my father whom served in Cuba’s military under Batista i thought things were going to be bad on so many levels. But it didn’t, it was quite the opposite, of course it took them a minute but at the end I was excepted. However I am probably one of the lucky ones with parents that love you regardless. Not all teenagers now days are excepted by their parents or families. They usually get thrown out and end up on the streets homeless. This is why now days you see it on television and movies. The soap operas were the first ones to incorporate the subject matter to television.

[@mrmarvincajuste]

" owe You a Huge apology"

[@aph1976]

Did we expect anything else from Lucky in regards to his response to learning Aiden is gay?

[@RogerBates7]

This was exactly what I figured it would be. Plus, they already did the opposite (to the point of nauseum) with Natalia. Nobody needed to see the 2.0 of that...

[@TihetrisWeathersby]

Hopefully this leads Lucky down a mature path

[@crystalsnow1138]

Did you see him in the previews for tomorrow?

[@BRISCODIGITALPRODUCT]

I loved it when Jason came back and gotten to know his son's,. and now I'm glad Lucky back getting to know his son and except that Aiden is gay and didn't push him away.... like most parents do to there kids, when they tell them they're gay.

[@conchitanelson4305]

My nephew said he didn't think I would love him anymore when he came out. I told him I loved him even more for being brave and being his true self.❤

[@melanierosario21_]

Such a sweet scene

[@jfblog23]

Ryan Phillippe spoke those exact lines, “Dad, I’m gay,” as Billy Douglas to his TV dad in a groundbreaking storyline on OLTL in 1992. Glad to see GH doing this.

[@ambergerber5162]

Yeah but Billy's conversation with his father ended very differently.

[@RogerBates7]

​@ambergerber5162 True, but sadly... that was the more likely response by suburban parents in those days. It would've been less believable for him to have been accepting then. Today, Lucky would be seen as the bad guy if were anything but loving and supportive. Thank God we've gotten to the point where that has flipped.

[@markmullins8622]

Ryan Phillippe did it first. Chandler Massey did it best- but this ones definitely a strong , worthy contender

[@beckyd712]

*That's when you say, "I love you and I want you to know that I don't have to love who you love, to love that you love them! As long as the person you love is good to you and loves you back, I am happy for you.*

[@umreeh]

So glad we got this scene. I thought he came put to him off screen.

[@twistedhalo759]

As someone who was hotly upset over the fact that Lucky NEVER played a part in his sons' lives, him apologizing now is a good start for me to begin liking the character again. I was fearing that Jake and Aiden were going to become the male versions of Maxie and Georgie somehow since their father didn't play a part in their lives ( Frisco couldn't even be bothered to come to his daughter's funeral or the funeral of his other daughter's husband. Or his own brother's, for that matter).

[@Damien-ob1ev]

Wow I need a tissue glad lucky back

[@Renorama-i8e]

Jonathan Jackson is honestly one of the finest actors I have seen, and we have seen this since he was a young kid. I am not crazy about the way he has been written over the years, but he definitely knocked this scene out of the park!

[@robertpalatsky5017]

[@ScottRandolph-dd7dr]

❤ Very nice for Lucky to meet his teenage son. Of course Lucky would accept his son's gay statement. Yet knowing GH, it will probably be watered down just like Lucas, Brad, Felix, Christiana and Terri. Been watching since 1984 in coastal Mississippi 👋

Would be more convincing if the age of the actors was different enough to be convincing that's they are father and son rather then just a few years

Lucky's words to his gay son are the words every parent that has a gay child show tell them. To a mother a child should be love endlessly tbeir life is theirs to do as they please to love whom ever they want.

I wish all parents could be accepting of their children without any conditions.

[@sethmorgan833]

Aiden whole thing was not about Lucky going away, his whole thing was that he thought that Lucky originally abandoned him because he suspected his son was gay, which was completely not the reason. Lucky left because he is like Luke he can't be a family man that Elizabeth wanted him to be. Does Lucky love Aiden and even Cameron and Jake? Yes, but he's just can't be an everyday father figure to them. He whether love them with the title of dad, but from a distance. Lucky doesn't give a damn that Aiden was gay, straight or whatever he still loves his son unconditionally, he just can't be a everyday present dad to him.
