Based on his GH run, I'd guess his favorite book - The Best Golden Girls Episodes To Have Threesomes To.

All that being said, I am with @carolineg in that I am really enjoying Lucas.

I mean, it's a little odd that he seems like Chad's contemporary, given that they were introduced at least two generations of teen storylines apart.  But, I like him as a source of reason.  Also, I think all the gluten-free humor is amusing (or at least harmless).

Additionally, I assume he's taking inspiration from the past and Abigail is going to open the time capsule, to prove her identity, just like when Gina opened the puzzle box to prove that she was Hope.

Probably.  I  just keep wondering if this time capsule story is going anywhere or we are just going to talk about how difficult it is to open for 6 more months.  Watch AliveAbigail will somehow have the key.

I really enjoy Lucas.  He just is fun and BD seems to actually enjoy playing Lucas which is refreshing.

Chad/Lucas do sort of seem like contemporaries and I was thinking that today.  At least he did refer to Abigail as his niece a few times this week, so we know he isn't Chad's age lol.

I wonder if the plans for whatever’s in the time capsule have changed now

Today felt like when you come back from vacation, and someone was using your office for a meeting.  You have to tidy up, get rid of unwanted stuff, and get your head straight before you can move forward.

Well, Uncle’s had a nice, long vacation lol I really hope he does a good job

For all I know they changed the idea 100 times.  We've gotten so little info on it lol.  It's just "damn, we still can't open and have no plans to figure it out".

I keep thinking this may be the most realistic thing in the town! If someone found something like this from ages back, what are the odds there would be no apparent way to get into it?!!

I am sure a locksmith could figure it out, but Julie doesn't want to break the interior content.  I understand that although I think in the year 2024 someone could gently open it with the right tools.

This is DAYS, remember?  The way the families trees on this show are so tangled, he could be YOUNGER than Abigail and still be her uncle, lol.

Very true. 

But I think the fact Will/Sonny are bff with Chad at least make me take note they aren't the same age lol!  At the same time I think Ava/Harris are older than Lucas as well so it's all murky.  EJ is Lucas's contemporary and was born in 1997 and Belle/Brady are younger/similar age to Abby so TIME does not exist in Salem obviously.

Speaking of, have we reached a conclusion as to whether the time jump is still a thing on this show, or whether they've quietly reset everything back to the present day?

I am 99.9% sure it's back to present day. They've referenced the date and year a few times.  So someone (everyone) could just be lazy, but I think Salem is in 2024 not 2025

Full circle moment, but I think it is confirmed by the date on Abigail's grave.  I know last year, when Stefan showed up at the Dimera mausoleum, the date was correct on Jake's plaque. 

Time is slower in their universe, as evidenced by Nicole wearing the same blouse for a week.😉

Thanks!  I couldn't recall an exact moment where the dates were changed back, but I knew it happened.  I think Paulina/Abe's wedding was referenced in current time when it occurred as well.

I can't believe that they just threw Theresa and Brady together out of nowhere. This just feels like a plot point so that Brady would feel shocked and horrified by Theresa's betrayal and the two of them are going to be at odds again. Also I won't be surprised if Theresa never has scenes with Tate ever again. I think Ron wants Theresa to be nothing more than an unrepentent golddigger.
