Ryan Carnes returns to GH

General Hospital is bringing back Ryan Carnes in the role of Lucas Jones.

The world of Port Charles hasn't delivered much of Lucas Jones in recent months, but that's all about to change because the powers that be at General Hospital have decided to bring Julian Jerome's biological and Bobbie Spencer's adoptive son back to the canvas.

The ABC soap opera announced the news via its official Instagram page, sharing a photo of Jacklyn Zeman (Bobbie) with Lucas' portrayer, Ryan Carnes, along with the caption: "When it comes to Bobbie and Lucas, the possibilities are endless."

Carnes joined GH in 2004 and played the role until 2005. After Carnes left, Ben Hogestyn stepped into the role and played Lucas until 2006. Carnes returned in 2014 to much fanfare and has played some of the biggest moments in the character's life to date, including his marriage to Brad Cooper (Parry Shen).

There's no word yet on what exactly brings Lucas back to the fold, but viewers can expect to see him on-screen later this month.
