EXCLUSIVE: A new player is coming to Port Charles to rock Lucky’s world.

General Hospital has cast Sawandi Wilson (Star Trek: Discovery) as Isaiah, who is only described for now as having a “connection” to Jonathan Jackson’s Lucky.

More from Deadline

Wilson’s first airdate as a GH castmember is Aug. 26.

Wilson is best known for playing Capt. Leto in the final season of Star Trek: Discovery. He also played Marcus in Amazon’s Harlem and had a recurring role in Netflix’s The House of Flowers.

The Hofstra University grad began his artistic career as a breakdancer before going on to study acting with Marishka Phillips, Susan Batson, and Bob Krakower. He’s repped by Insurge-Entertainment.

In June, Deadline exclusively revealed that Jackson was returning to GH after an eight-year absence. He’s expected to stick around Port Charles for a while.

Jackson originated the role of Lucky in 1993; he’s the beloved son of super-couple Luke and Laura Spencer (Anthony Geary and Genie Francis). Jackson played the part on and off until 2011, when he left to star as Avery Barkley in ABC’s Nashville for six seasons.
