I always thought they were close.  But that's just my memory and it might be wrong.  I never thought of it as a fatherly relationship, but Luke was protective over her.  But he did run over her kid so I don't know where it stands currently.  I feel like Liz/Lucky are glossed over a lot.  The show actively tries to make us not remember them.

Parental may have been too strong, but Luke always looked after Elizabeth. 

The whole Luke running Jake over was undone with the reveal that Helena kidnapped him, correct?

Yeah, Frank just doesn't acknowledge Lucky save a few references. He continues to find ways to pay those mortgages for RoHo and Dawgy Daddy, even though the characters they play stink.

I'm not an Ethan fan, but Ethan, Dillon and Lucky's absence just shows Frank only works with "his" actors.  Give Hat Dad two weeks off and pay them with that for two appearances each, Cheapo.

Was Luke running over Jake undone?  I legit can't remember.  I just feel like Lucky/Liz have been so marginalized to suit RH has chemistry with everyone so why not? propaganda.   FV likes to marginalize all supercouples (see Sonny/Brenda) but Lucky just literally barely exists on this show now.  Kids?  Africa?  No.  Take care of your own kids Lucky....

Yes. But it was an atrocious, half assed rewrite with more holes in it then swiss cheese

The only thing we knew for sure was that Helena was behind it.

And considering how we barely see Jake now, he might as well still be dead.

Nothing against Curtis, but he felt super out of place to me today. I'm assuming Jon Londstrom was unavailable so they figured Curtis was the next best thing. I get what they were going for, it was just funny having all these vets and then there's Curtis.

I loved Scotty today and Luke's ashes blowing in his face was my favorite part of the episode.

Why did the episode have to end with Carly and Sonny? We really couldn't skip their drama for one day? It's so tired. 

I'm already over the Jennifer Smith thing. The general consensus online seems to be "who?" I was actually watching last time she popped up but I don't remember her. Did no other actors want to return? This is so random. 

Apparently Lucas isn't over losing Wiley. Wouldn't it be something if we were actually seeing that?

Jason being so overprotective of Michael and then barely ever around Jake has made zero sense to me.  Even if he was “protecting” him from mob life, have him be tortured about it.

I liked some of this memorial, but really, you have Genie Francis here as Laura.  I appreciate the show giving Tracy her important role because she was who Luke ended up with.  But Laura was the love of his life, and Genie is always good with heartbreak.  I wish she and Jackie had gotten to speak as well, even if this whole thing is a huge waste.  I like that Laura is stronger now.  But maybe show me something.  Like Laura breaking down, and then walking herself back and talking to her husband about how not that long ago if this had happened she might have followed him.  Talk about their deep love but also about their obsessive and toxic passion too.  Be a soap opera for crying out loud GH!

Even though JJ’s Lucky (as a teen) was one of my favorite in all of soaps, I would be fine with a good Lucky recast. He’s Luke and Laura’s son, Liz’s first love and Aidens dad. He should have a place on this show. And they need some men in that age range. But the show just has zero interest in it, it’s like when JJ left this last time they wanted to kill him off but just didn’t bother.

Regarding the question about why are they doing Luke's death now, and is the timing random?
I don't know but my guess would be ....
Because they finally can! The vets came back after the vaccine mandate took effect.  There's got to be more coming up with Tracy bringing the actual Ice Princess diamond to Port Charles, and Victor stirring up trouble. Can you imagine an umbrella storyline with the Cassadines, Laura, Anna, Robert, Felicia, etc?

    • Also, isn’t there supposed to be a storyline with Mariah and Tessa? Mariah cheating or something (keeping some kind of secret) and they were only on screen 2 and 3 times this month. Like what? How am I supposed to care when I barely see them? 
    • Definitely wouldn't trust Dinah right now haha.  But that's great to know Billy comes back soon!  I'm excited for that. If he's at the boardinghouse, then I guess he does get closer to Nola perhaps, and then he'll be around Peter/Bridget and J, who is currently in his orbit along with Michelle and Dahlia, and Marcus is at the boardinghouse, so maybe they go the teenage story route most of this time until Billy gets back.
    • Sounds like me, but I prefer to be referred to as Contessa. We all know I can go a long time not paying attention to certain things.  And, if I might add, hey there dude, you effed up pretty good this time and I think this was your last chance. So don't let the door hit you in your behind as you go BYE MOMMY!
    • That did cross my mind at first, but I'd be more inclined to believe it if this didn't involve Trump. I'm not at all sure he is capable of being that sneaky. Of course, there's always a possibility I guess that his advisors are doing it without telling him, but that seems awfully risky. Trump is such a loose cannon you can never predict what he's going to do or say.
    • Whoa. She should have fought like hell to get that. Was it the greatest show ever? No, but it had a fantastic cast and was practically guaranteed to last multiple seasons because of its star power. Could have certainly led to bigger and better things. If it had flopped she could have always gone back to soaps. Judith Light broke through on a sitcom where she was basically second banana to Tony Danza. That grew into a very busy and distinguished career. The woman is still regularly booked to this day.
    • I could understand her being frustrated by the fact that she'd been in the business 10+ years at that point, and probably couldn't even get in the door. But then again, she'd already gone out for pilot season once (that we know of) and she and  her agent knew a 35-ish woman had a very difficult time in Hollywood. I know she did a few guest spots, but other than Designing Women, nothing I saw--not even a Murder She Wrote, and that show had tons of ex-soapers on it. I mean, God bless Marilu Henner, but even having been on Taxi, she couldn't get arrested for years either.
    • I didn't rewatch that period, so I'm not really sure how much Bill is on. I recall something about him living at the boardinghouse. I think Van made Matt his guardian, and why she didn't name Josh would be a mystery to me, other than the HW decided they needed to keep Bill in Matt's sphere. Nola is also his aunt, although they don't know each other well, and Van wouldn't have trusted her anyway. There's Dinah---but she's unreliable. Billy gets out of jail around NYE.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
