I have a question, does anyone know WHY Jake slept with Lucy and the circumstances around Tom Hardy sleeping with Lucy?

Those are two instances I have never been able to find clips of or wrap my head around. Why did Tom sleep with Lucy while he was married to Simone? And how did Jake end up sleeping with Lucy? There didn't seem to be any sexual tension between them leading up to it or anything. I know it happened when they were on the run and hiding out in that house, but I've never understood how it actually happened.

I'm surprised Sam Behrens' Jake was never brought back. He seemed to have built a real home and family with Bobbie, then from what I've read and watched it appears Scott conspired to keep them apart. Suddenly she was married to Tony and that whole part of her life was totally forgotten.

@Vizion Tom Hardy and Lucy slept together during Monty's 1991 run. Before Monty, there was an ongoing triangle for Simone and Tom involving Simone's prior affair with Harrison Davis, who had managed to become assistant chief of staff at General Hospital. Harrison was briefly assumed to be Tommy Jr.'s father due to the meddling of Dr. Pauline Ravelle, Simone's mother and Harrison's biggest supporter. When Harrison learns he is the father, and realizes he won't get Simone, he marries Meg Lawson and launches a custody suit. In Meg's first scenes in February 1990, she had a pre-established crush on Dr. Davis so he was really taking advantage of how she felt about him.

Over in the Alan-Lucy story, prior to Monty's return, Lucy had coerced Alan into marriage, and when Alan decided to leave her, Lucy announced she was pregnant. Alan stayed with her. In real life, Lynn Herring was also pregnant. In January 1991, Lucy miscarried her baby (it was actually Scotty's) and skipped town so Herring could go on maternity leave. The relationship between Alan and Lucy was dissolved, I believe, in February when Lucy was out of town. When she returned, Lucy was single.

In the meantime, Monty continued to dump almost every single character that had been created since she left. This included Stephanie Williams' Simone Ravelle Hardy. During her return, Monty wanted to ground the show back in reality and felt that the best way to do that was to have characters just reference real life events and social issues. Simone became suddenly caught up in the plight of children in Romania while the war was going on. Her old college classmate Vanessa (Donna Leavy) popped in for an episode or two to talk about the work she was doing overseas. In February, when Williams' one-year contract was up, Simone left for Romania. 

Tom was left to care for little Tommy on his own with the help of Audrey and Steve. I imagine that Tom and Lucy's relationship probably came out of Tom's loneliness with Simone being away. It looks like the story starts in April when Lucy encounters Scotty and his cousin Tom Hardy having lunch. When Tom and Lucy later go out in late May, Scotty is again present. I think Tom and Lucy was about complicating both Tom and Simone and Lucy and Scotty. It also looks like that Lucy has been flirting with Harlan Barrett in the meantime. Williams' Simone returns in June as the show starts its second revamp since Monty arrived after the ratings fell out with the Eckert family consuming large sections of the story along with a slew of other new characters.

Jake sleeping with Lucy seems to be plot-driven rather than character-motivated, but luckily, it did kind of pay off. Most significantly, it and Lucy's short-lived pregnancy continued the Bobbie-Lucy rivalry. Lucy being entangled with Bobbie & Jake (and later, recent widower Tony) also gave her a reason to hang around when she could have easily faded away, like so many '80s GH characters did after their initial stories or two. And I suppose having Bobbie & Jake barely get a moment of peace after finally being married followed the precedent set and continued by other GH newlyweds.

Scott's involvement didn't help matters, but really, life went to hell for Bobbie and Jake not too long after they got married. At least when she was with Tony, they had a second chance (1991-94).

I think this was the only time Jessie was actually on trial.

When Jessie was accused of murdering Phil in 1975, they only made it as far as a preliminary hearing (with the result being that Jessie should stand trial) before Diana (who erroneously believed Peter had done it) stepped in and confessed to the crime herself in order to spare Jessie from having to stand trial.

    • I HATED Infinity (I could care less about Kyle Sampson and his hanger ons and the dumb Lujack video, and Mindy and Kurt were strong armed into being a fave couple and married off way too soon (Jeva didnt get that big of a wedding.) I did like the Fishing Mystery (despite the changing of history..it was murky enough that it could be fudged) and the Cabin mystery started out good ..I thought Tony was hot and I liked Annabelle, it had supernatural elements but they did not overtake the story (i.e. Reva traveling through time..) and I love a gothic mystery.. however, it was bizarre that nosy Nola wasnt in the mix...she barely seemed interested that her sister in law was psychic, there may be ghosts in her brothers house, etc.  I don't know if there was a behind the scenes issue with Brown and Kobe, or if Long just wanst interested or felt tied up writing for Quola.  I would have had Quint blow up in the cabin instead of Hillary but..The big problem that the end result was...boring. Okay so there are black Spauldings..and they disappeared...so what now? Not only was J gross...(I can't believe the actor IS actually just as obnoxious as J) they made Chelle into an airhead horn dog going after her cousin. Yes, by adoption but still her cousin. I wondered why she was not calling Nola "Aunt" when she first arrived, and they barely acknowledge each other ( I would think Nola would glomb on to mothering her sister's daughter, especially with Stacy not in town, much to Ed's chagrin) but it was in service to...this??? Wait until Chele gets all horny for an angel...oyyyy! No one else in town reacted to Nadine's death,, cause Deas had to have his big dumb over the top reaction scene to Deenie's death. I can't imaging watching that scnene and thinking he was a good actor!
    • Happy to see this!

        I know, I'm getting the sense they expected Beaty to stay if they were going the rehabilitation route with Abby. A few weeks ago, when Michelle was dressing sexy for her date with J, she let Abby try on a dress and Rick then taught her what dating was like, and she went in and kissed him. They were clearly setting up the Abby/Rick story, but then suddenly it has pivoted to Rick falling back in love with Annie and trying to convince her not to go to Josh since he and Reva are secretly meeting at the cabin (Annie is getting unhinged here). But with Rick focused on Annie again, it would have left room for Abby to work with Brent, had Beaty stayed (at least this is what I'm assuming based on what I'm seeing). Rick is also now in Blake's orbit - they both just got in a bar fight post-Ross/Amanda kissing and Annie rejecting Rick's advances. They're together and Blake is now coming onto Rick while they drink... uh oh.
    • She is truly in such a delusional state that it's hard to know what's true but I'm sure there are some easter eggs in there. I am very curious to see how they utilize Leslie now that everybody knows who she is. If they do go with a connection to Anita in someway that would definitely be interesting. Anita was the first and only person so far that Leslie seemed intimidated by. 
    • I do get your point about the Q's stuff with Lois back in the day.  I will say there were a lot more Quartermaines and a lot more stupid, corrupted plotting in the 90's.  I think the show went out of their way to make Lois seem almost naive, unprepared for such an insane family The whole idea that Lois had to move far away from Ned and PC to raise Brook Lynn was a bit flimsy for me as well.  I mean, no judgement, but BLQ still got knocked up as a teenager lol.  I appreciated Lois was also hard on Sonny back then.  Lois could clearly see his flaws even if she loved him. Yeah, Sonny, Carly and Jason don't really deserve human connections with anyone but themselves lol.  I always have wondered if the show did want to re-pair Jason/Sam and whatever happened with Kelly happened.  
    • I might've somehow missed it but what happened to Jacob's partner Detective Marcel Malone? And Jacob's shiny bald headed daddy Chief Elon Hawthorne as well?
    • Agree to disagree. I think both Jason & Carly do human connecting pretty much all the time. Sonny is different. And I think Jason's return is pretty clear. It was, and is, about Jason's capacity for self-sacrifice & his capacity to dedicate himself to a thing or person or whatever in a very singular, possibly even extreme way. Steve has tried to make the point to fans that Jason would have possibly done this for other people, not just for Carly. If I try to follow that to some conclusion, I ask myself who? Danny? Yes. Jake? Yes. Sonny? Yes. Sam? I'm not sure. Liz? I think so,  probably. Monica? Definitely.  Any other Q? No. Spinelli? Strong maybe.  What do you think?  One thing that helps me think about it is the speech he gave when he talked about getting the new ink. (tatooed arm) Valerie Cooper? Or Spencer?
    • After Season 1 they jumped to Season 25. I queried why but they didn’t reply. They’ve also added the episodes to their on-demand section too (as well as live streaming them)  Oddly, some S25 episodes are the longer 21-22 minute edit used for international distribution, but the majority appear to be the shorter US edit. They also blur out the B&B web-address at the end of the credits which I can’t fathom why. They’re also very diligent in ensuring the ‘BBL Distribution’ slide is cut from the very end too - there’s an abrupt fade out of the music which typically would overlay into the distribution credit.

    • Dante jumps to conclusions Remember when Dillion went with the Spencer's to help Lucky in 2015 Dante assumed an affair andslept with Valerie then called lulu a wĥore  Only after explaining did Dante apologize
    • Did anyone see this? It was really good and far more important to the future of the MCU than people expected. The fact is its not a Thunderbolts film but stealth
