When discussing his return to GH with TV Insider, Jackson reflected on the impact the show has had on his family. “In my personal life, that’s where I met my wife,” he said. “When we went back in 2010, our kids were kind of young and now we’re back again and my kids are older. So, there’s so much history there and great friendships with people. I’m just really grateful.”
