I was really happy when I heard Johnatan Jackson was coming back. I think he is a wonderful actor don't get me wrong. One thing that bugs me is his voice. JJ has an Effeminate way of talking, top that with the fact that his voice doesn't seem to have changed from when he was a kid. I can't take him seriously in this storyline with Liz. On one hand you have NickOWUSS all tattood and muscle bound and on the other we have Lucky not looking much different the when he was when he was a teenager living in a boxcar. It is not hard to see why ElizaBIT(H would be more attrcted to NickOWUSS. When Greg Vaughn was playing lucky he was just as buffed as Tyler C.
I want to see Lucky find out about Nik and Liz and move on with his life and find someone else. Liz and Lucky are a lost cause in my opinion. Call me crazy but I wouldn't mind seeing Lucky and Robin together or maybe Lucky and Maxie. Why not bring back Serena Baldwin and have a love triangle between Ethan, Lucky and Serena

Message: First i had to look up "effeminate" to see if it meant what i thought it did.It did,To tell you the truth i have always thought grown up Lucky's voice sounded like a girl.I hate to admit it i was surprised when JJ got married,because i always thought he was gay.I was wrong.However i can't ever see Lucky win in a fistfight against Nick or Jason.He might be able to take Morgan though.

Message: Loving Lucky these days and I don't understand all the sniping and griping about his looks or whatever. He is such a good actor and makes Nick look like the prick he is. I much rather have a guy like Lucky than a tatoo wearing goon like Nick.

Message: Well personally I like the youthful slim look he has. I really liked Jason Young (second Lucky and now JR Chandler on AMC) but her looks like he's been on steroids and pumping iron lately and personally I think he's lost a lot of his charm because of it. I love Anthony Geary, and he has always been long legged and slight of build. JMHO eom/bf

Is this any different than when anyone new takes over a role? No. Adjust I say. RH looked no more like a "real" women than JJ looks like "real" man until she had her breast implants. RH talks and looks like a little girl. So does Maxie. Why do all the male players have to be ultra masucline? GV was a handsome snooze and if I have to adjust to a man with with less muscle to get better acting, it's a no brainer.

Message: I know what you mean about JJ's voice. It is soft and high pitched compared to the other men on the show. It is such a pronounced difference from GV's that a while back another poster asked if Lucky was supposed to be gay.

Hamcat...i like sooooooooooooo totally agree with you about JJ's voice!!!
It bugs me like what you would not beeelieve!!!
You know, I honestly do NOT remember it being this youthful-sounding or effeminate when he was younger, which seems backwards, right???

Message: I get what you're saying, but honestly I'm just happy to have an actor who can act. Maybe it was the role/writers...maybe not, but GV was painfully boring. He was very very nice to look at for sure, but such FF material for me. I think JJ is a good actor. He's always had alot of chemistry with Luke and with Nik and Liz for that matter. I can get over the higher pitched voice when I see that kinda chemistry. GV's Lucky was unrecognizable....he had no relationship and very few if any scenes with his own "father" so it's just nice to see that dynamic again. And besides that...if they're hoping to recreate the magic at some point with Lucky and Liz, then at least she is very petite and youthful looking as well so it works (even though I don't mind the Liz/Nik pairing for now).

Message: I totally agree. I am not believing JJ as Lucky. IMO, he has not changed much at all...and those scenes with Jason are just laughable. He looks like a kid still while Jason and Nikolas are so masculine looking. Don't get me wrong, I like JJ and I think he is cute, but I just don't think he is right for this part anymore. IMO

Agree ... I love JJ out of all the Luckys, but he is way too effeminate for the situations they have him in, especially after watching Vaughn in the role for so long. Seeing he and Bell in a scene, or he and Monaco in a scene, makes you completely forget Lucky's past romances with Maxie and Sam. His chemistry with Herbst is still there, but it is a very juvenile love, one that harks back to their teenage years. He looks too young. He even looks younger than LuLu!
I'm hoping Jackson's return will bring the Spencers together in a story again and fix the damage that has been done to them over the years. But JJ just doesn't play adult romantic leading man convincingly. This is one time I hope the producers don't regret one of their decisions.
