On Oct. 17, 2025, General Hospital’s Jonathan Jackson won Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Daytime Drama Series: Actor at the Daytime Emmys, reminding everyone why his return to Port Charles was so anticipated. The longtime fan favorite delivered an emotional acceptance speech, thanking mentors and shouting out Anthony Geary for their enduring father–son magic. For Jackson, it’s a triumphant chapter in a career that’s spanned teen phenom to seasoned scene-stealer—and a sweet payoff for fans who’ve watched Lucky grow up before their eyes.
One lucky fan got to announce the winner in the category of Outstanding Supporting Actor when host Mario Lopez picked her out of the crowd, asked her name, and let her open the envelope and reveal the winner. The fan's name is Ollie Chernaik, and according to her LinkedIn profile, she is "currently a grad student at Loyola Marymount University studying Writing and Producing for Television." Later, she posed for pictures with Jackson and his Emmy, his 6th overall.
