Why because Liz is a useless mother who can't be bothered to watch and protect her children?

That's not how it works. If you've been drinking and you hurt or kill a child, it doesn't matter if the child's mother threw the kid in the street. You're still going down for traffic manslaughter.

My cousin's little boy hanged himself playing. That didn't make it his mother's fault or negligence. Kids do stupid things and they get killed.

Who was watching Jake that night?

Apparently, nobody! His mother was too busy reading her 12th paternity test and Jake walked out the front door.

Cheap,

Luke didn't flee an accident he was totally unaware of. It was an accident due to the mother's negligence!

Accident or not Luke should've at least spent a night or two in jail.

Sorry my friend, this is where we part ways. Discovery happened several days after the fact, so there is no proving Luke was drunk. Anyone could have hit that child! The alcoholism story that followed was embarrassing! I'm still traumatized! The intervention was well done, but Luke self healed. Also, when he and Carly were scheming not so long ago, Luke wanted an open bar tab in case he needed to entertain someone. Carly was all too willing to give it to him. Ridiculous!

He ran over a child and the child died. And he fled the scenes drunk or not he should've gone to jail for that.

I died! The truth, I see no lies. The woman is useless. Completely useless.

Ha! Mac got fired. To be honest he needed to be. It's insane how much crime gets done under his watch.

Wait, Ron pulled a Bo Buchanan on Mac? LOL

I've no issue with Kelly Monaco, but there's no way that that chick is only five years older than me.

Considering that Luke bragged about how freeing it was to kill a child, I don't understand why it's not his fault. It's something he was proud of. So even he was fine with accepting it.

People's Liz hatred excuses him from his crime.

I'm sure you know by now that Elizabeth is to blame for the war in Afghanistan.

It is his fault in the fact that he was the one driving, but the situation wasnt as simple as that.

Oh please it has nothing to do with Liz hate. Ive hate Luke for a long while and wish they got rid of him a long time ago, but I dont think that accident could have been prevented. Him staying one or 2 nights in jail doesnt change the fact that Jake is dead

Luke's tirades do not change the fact that it was a tragic accident. How some choose to handle these things will always leave us scratching our heads. It was a lot of pain talking. I don't ever want to think of how it feels to kill someone even if by accident. Can you imagine how Luke, or anyone, must have felt?

R.I.P.: Anthony Geary has passed away

And Johnny Wactor and Billy Miller (along with Tyler Christopher) dying so young and tragically. It’s devastating.
And Nneka Garland behind the scenes…

God, do I agree with this. Stephanie just doesn't cut it as a lead carrying this much story.
DAYS has all the elements to being good, but the truth is, it's not. Cwikly and Ford are better than Ron C, but that doesn't mean much when they're still not what I'd call solid. They aren't giving me anything to be excited about, and it feels like everything is on low simmer.

R.I.P.: Anthony Geary has passed away

Awful news. I've certainly said my fair share about Luke and the Eckerts on here over the years, but when he was on and committed, there was never anybody better. He was a huge part of growing up watching GH in the 90s and 2000s.
His relationships with Laura, Bobbie, Robert, and Lucky will get most of the attention, but I want to mention how good he was with a lot of the rest of the cast in that era. His relationships with Tony, Lucy, Felicia, Tiffany, Sonny, Carly, Nikolas, Alexis, Tracy- all so different, unique, and you really felt the connections.
Monica, Luke, Robert, Rick, and Lesley in one year is so much loss. Add in Bobbie, Alan, Nikolas, Sean, and Epiphany in the past couple of years and it's almost unfathomable.

I agree with this. You can see it in her shows, there is always movement. Those talking head scenes were walking around the nurses station, stopping at the counter at Kelly’s, etc. Scenes in the Webber home often begin or end with someone coming down the stairs, or headed to the door. I am sure Geary had run into plenty of issues where staging in a more traditional way hindered what he wanted to do and could seem stifling. Monty allowed improvisation, and spontaneity to be encouraged in rehearsals.
As a kid I always noticed that the ABC soaps of that era just felt more modern. When I watch old episodes now, the ABC shows still stand out that way. They took risks. Now I am not saying I think everything they did was fantastic- they had plenty of flops and bad ideas.

Her statement did not disappoint. They both spoke about that deep connection, that they didn’t share with anybody else. Even when Tony was fully committed to not ever playing Luke & Laura again, he still spoke about that connection as performers with some reverence.
I am not shocked they didn’t speak because that was their way even before his final exit. When they met to discuss returning in 1993 they had only seen each other a couple of times since their earlier run. That return was one of the handful of soap icon returns after being gone for a long time that fully worked. I have said this before but Monty, Marland, and PFS, with Geary and Francis of course, made such grounded characters with real internal lives that they could go and save the world, and also still fit in closer to reality in grittier material later under Labine, Guza, and Riche.
We saw Luke slowly morphed into a bitter and cynical man who eschewed connection with others. I had no problem with what Geary did with Luke’s characterization. Luke after Laura probably would self destruct. What I had issue with was Geary’s insistence that this was always the Luke he played. It very much was not, we saw it as it aired, the good and the bad before his revisionist history.
Almost every soap I watched had an iconoclastic character who challenged the other people in their communities. Soaps are so bland now and don’t really do these types of characters anymore.
Thanks everybody who has been posting tributes, I don’t use Twitter anymore so this is the only place I will see them!

Why not? Tamara Tunie would play the hell out of that story AND maybe land BTG their first major Emmy nomination in the process.

Obviously, we'll never know exactly what Geary meant, but I think what Gloria Monty hated was the fact that most soaps at that time seem confined to "talking heads" regurgitating the same exposition over coffee inside various living rooms and kitchens. Monty wanted soaps to be more active, arguing that housewives and other viewers would be forced to put down their laundry or whatever and actually pay attention.
