General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that Lucas Jones (Ryan Carnes) needs to make a comeback. When the new GH episodes left off, viewers hadn’t seen much of Lucas. In fact, one of the last times Lucas was seen was at the hospital was when Felix DuBois (Marc Saumel) and Elizabeth Baldwin (Rebecca Herbst) tried to reach out to him.
Felix and Elizabeth were concerned that Lucas was working too much and overdoing it, in his attempt to move on after losing Wiley Quartermaine Corinthos (Erik and Theo Olson) from his life.
Well, we’d really like to see Lucas show back up for a major storyline when new GH episodes return. It seems that he should remain a central figure in Wiley’s life.
It would be nice to see the show acknowledge that Wiley still has and needs a relationship with Lucas, and that Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) is amenable to Lucas being a central figure in Wiley’s life.
In fact, it has been kind of unrealistic to think that Lucas isn’t part of the war with Nelle Jerome (Chloe Lanier) at this point. Surely, Lucas is still emotionally attached to Wiley, and he’d probably hate to see Wiley end up with Nelle, right?
And one would think that the judge in Wiley’s custody case would want to hear from the people who raised Wiley from birth as well.
At any rate, it seems that Lucas is in need of some new drama and a new life direction when the show picks back up. It seemed like perhaps GH was hinting that
Felix was interested in Lucas now that Lucas’ marriage to Brad Cooper (Parry Shen) is over and done. But Lucas just didn’t seem to be in the right mind space to think about moving on in that way, at least not right now.
It would be great to see Lucas get involved with someone who treats him right and who isn’t deceiving him all the time, like Brad did. Perhaps it will be a matter of getting a new love interest for Lucas on the scene, or perhaps Lucas will realize that Felix is right there and a viable option for him.
It would be fantastic to see Felix get more screen time (and happiness!) going forward, too.
But this all means that Lucas is going to have to stop overworking himself and get out of “coping” mode and into “living” mode. And given the serious losses that he’s suffered, that could be a challenge.
Lucas could also get back into helping Elizabeth with Aiden Webber (Jason David) deal with the challenges that he has faced and will continue to face – GH viewers will remember that Aiden went through a rough time with other kids making fun of him for being “different.”
It seemed that Lucas and Brad might step in at one point and offer some counsel to Elizabeth and Franco Baldwin (Roger Howarth), as they dealt with the teasing that Aiden was getting over having interests that are traditionally seen as feminine, such as baking.
We’d love to see Lucas tackle taking on a mentor-type role for Aiden and helping Aiden through what’s bound to be a tough time in his life.
At any rate, we hope that there are some good scenes and storylines ahead for Lucas, and that he can push past the Brad phase of his life and find some happiness.
Who do you think Lucas will eventually end up with romantically? Will it be Felix? Stay tuned to the ABC soap and don’t forget to keep CDL at the ready so you don’t miss the latest General Hospital spoilers, updates, or news.
