Anna and Jason find themselves playing a dangerous game trying to free Lucky from his captors. Jonathan Jackson spoke to Soap Opera Digest about the exciting rescue storyline. He said that seeing Jason and Anna gives Lucky hope of escaping.
He said that Lucky finding out about Lulu’s situation “adds another layer to his desire to escape immediately.” He continued, “I think it’s just a visceral reaction of love for his sister and wanting to do everything he can to get back [to Port Charles] and hopefully save her.”
Jonathan Jackson said that his family being in danger was a “wake-up call” to Lucky. “He’s been struggling, probably on a subconscious level, for a long time, but it’s starting to kind of rise to the surface, like when he had that dream of Elizabeth being in the jail with him. He’s struggling with that sense of shame and guilt around leaving his family.”
