General Hospital star Jonathan Jackson earned his sixth Daytime Emmy for Supporting Performance in a Daytime Drama Series during the October 17 ceremony. The soap veteran became emotional as he thanked his family and costars in his acceptance speech.

Jackson notably gave a shoutout to Anthony Geary, who played his TV dad, Luke Spencer, on General Hospital for decades until his retirement in 2015. “Even though I didn’t get to work with you this time around, the truth is, you are with me in every single scene I do,” Jackson said in his acceptance speech about Geary. He also took a moment to thank Genie Francis, who plays his TV mom, Laura Spencer. “I owe you a debt of love that I will never be able to repay,” he admitted.
