GH: Show says goodbye to beloved veteran character

[Antoyne]

Curious to see how this is handled. Haven’t watched GH in years. I sssume next week is a good time to jump back in.

If Tony is back, I’m gonna need a Luke and Laura scene. They didn’t even get a goodbye when Tony left (and we still don’t know what the “Angel” letter said).

I dont want Tony back. I dont want Bobbie's Funeral to be all about Luke

Tony needs to be part of Jaclyn’s goodbye in some form or another.

The *only* Tony I want to see is Brad Maule's Tony Jones escorting Bobbie to the afterlife.

Bobbie’s brother needs to part of this.

Despite my thoughts on Geary’s storyline and character preferences, I do think excluding him intentionally would be a miss. He was also very close to Jackie. 

It’s too bad that Sarah Joy Brown, the Carly Jackie interacted with the most and had the most chemistry with couldn’t be part of this somehow.

[John]

But then the story becomes all about Luke Spencer. No Thanks.

I though GH having Sarah, Tams and Laura all giving the elougy as Carly like they did when Sonny interacted with them all as Carly in 2014 would be a good get

Looking forward to the JZ/Bobbie doings & like the sound of the way they handled it. 

However, I am thoroughly annoyed that I won't be able to see the primetime special until the next day. I don't care for the way they're handling that when it comes to those of us who see GH on Hulu. If Hulu can't do simulcast, ABC ought to throw open the gates to all. 

[Beachstorm]

ITA with you. I only can watch on Hulu too, and I've been b*#ching about not even getting next-day previews ever. No end-of-show tributes either. Oh well, I doubt they will throw us a bone on this one either.

[Lye-C]

Bobbie will be in the ground by the time Luke returns. 

[DRW50]

I hate Luke, I always have, but I do think he should be there, and however I feel about Tony, he was supposedly one of the only reasons Jackie was not fired from GH (and Bobbie turned into a lunatic who would have been killed off, IIRC) in the early '00s.

[Contessa Donatella]

Luke will not be at Jackie's Memorial Service. 

That's really mixing metaphors. Tony/Jackie ... Luke/Bobbie. 

Anyway, not able to make the trip.

I don't understand why they killed off Luke in the first place.  For him to say goodbye to his sister, he has to come back from the dead. It's ridiculous. 

Was part of the show's delay in dealing with Bobbie's passing giving Geary the opportunity to get in shape and look presentable when he appears?

[Liberty City]

No. It was the WGA Strike.
