IIRC, Lucas left town to go to medical school and become a doctor like Tony. That was where the whole doctor thing got started, years ago, some errant lines of dialogue. I thought they'd had Bobbie mention it here and there last year as well, but that may not be so. The bigger issue is that Ron has virtually no interest in Lucas beyond being sort of this plot-mover hunk for stories - he has no life, no job, no inner life of his own, no character arc. He just wanders around town bouncing between these dudes.

OTOH, I will never bash GH for choosing not to negotiate with Steve Burton. Dumping him was the smartest move this show ever made. It was essential to changing the fabric of the show. Just because it's a move made by Frank and Ron doesn't mean it is by definition wrong. The wrong part of the Jason situation, rather, is how they apparently had expected Burton to come back to the table, and when he didn't they forgot all about telling story with A.J. just because they couldn't have Jason.

It's not that RC doesn't write long-term story, because he often has long story beats in his head. It's that he usually forgets to write today's story or characters.

So she can be on once every 5 weeks? I'm with GF, there's no need to return for that. It's not going to turn into something bigger or better. They won't connect Laura to Dr O, Nina, Ava, 2 x 4, etc. They are tying the newbies to one another, so GF is right by not wanting those scraps. The ChiaScot/Lucy/Kevin thing literally played offscreen.

I can understand being in a crunch about who you can give money to - things were the same at OLTL - but it's not like this show doesn't have five thousand people and isn't adding three more a day. That's what leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

If someone wants to clear up the murky areas of the Genie Francis situation, I'm all ears.
