MsQ, good observation, re the music in the scenes with Dillon/Tracy. I didn't notice, and I usually catch such things.

I love Tracy's relationship with Lulu, and hope this continues, also. But it's lovely to have Dillon here, and to see him caring so much that his mother's been hurt.

Tracy and Alice don't have a friendship, exactly, IMO. Tracy confides in her on rare occasions, but I don't think they could have any but occasional, casual interaction, since Alice is an employee, and her loyalties shift. Could you ever truly trust someone who's willing to put you in a sleeper hold?

I have a hard time imagining Sabrina as Tracy's friend--though she does need one! I liked their scenes, and if this is the direction they take it, that would be nice for Tracy. At least Sabrina is kind, and not by nature a schemer. :) She's a bit timid, and Tracy might get impatient with that type of personality (or maybe that's just me!).

Now, Tracy and Dr. O. comparing notes might be fun. :)

I still have a hard time seeing Tracy associate with Alice at all on a personal level because she is the housekeeper, and a woman like Tracy wouldn't give her the time of day (unless she needed a martini or something). Then again, Tracy has softened throughout the years, so maybe that's why she is more willing to allow people like Alice and Sabrina, for that matter, in. Sabrina is "the nanny," so again, it's strange to see Tracy interact with her, but Jane Elliot makes it work, and Tracy needs a friend, so I'll allow it. :) Connie was a more realistic friend though in my opinion.

I should really be in bed. UGH I go back to work tomorrow. Anyway, my short take on the last few weeks:

I LOVE LOVE LOVE how Dillon has his mom's back, and I think the new actor has awesome chemistry with JE. They always were one of my favorite Tracy "pairings" and I think that's going to continue. He left a boy, and came back a man, so yeah the dynamic will be different. But so far, a good different. SC's Dillon would have NEVER attacked Luke, and would have never said what he said to Laura (BTW that moment, telling her to walk back out if she didn't like what she walked in on, YOWZA. I wanted to do a fist pump. I loved the shocked look on her face. Yeah Laura, someone else in town not attaching their lips to your butt cheeks. Imagine that. HEE I love him for that moment alone).

Anyhoo-the actor looks literally like he could be the child of PS and JE. I never felt SC favored any of the Qs, unless his fair coloring was supposed to come from Lila. This actor has darker features like JE, but has the bone structure of PS. Good casting.

I do have to wonder, how bad of a rift is going to happen between Tracy and Dillon though(and Tracy/Lulu) if they don't tell her what they know.

I have to wonder if they aren't setting up Sabrina/Tracy because Lulu and Tracy are about to be on the outs(Tracy will eventually forgive her, but I think there's going to be a blow up between them when the whole truth comes out).

I also love that Lulu is totally pro Tracy.

About Sabrina/Tracy. Tracy being her friend, knowing she is the "help", doesn't take me by surprise too much. After all, she was BFF's with Dillon's nanny Zoey on The City, and friends with Jacob the bartender. Plus Marco Dane. Not to mention her friendship with Lulu. When Tracy does have friends, they never have been exactly the kind of people you would expect them to be. I was surprised by her comment to Sabrina that she never really felt the need for them. I kind of can see why, but then I'm thinking of all the people I know have been in her life that she would consider a friend, and I'm thinking "really"? Not sure I agree there.

My only issue with Tracy/Sabrina, is that Sabrina doesn't have much of a personality IMO. It's the fact that I think Tracy would find Sabrina rather bland and uninteresting that makes me side eye any friendship between them. Not the "nanny" thing, or even the age difference.

Like MsQ said, it made me miss Tracy/KateConnie, speaking of which, it would have been nice for Tracy to mention her as being her last friend.

As was mentioned up above, Tracy is never really allowed to have friends, so I guess we have to wait and see. If I were picking someone currently on the canvas, I'd pick Anna or Nina or Ava, once everyone realizes who Ava is. I liked the five second pseudo friendship with Tracy and Ava. Nice chemistry, believable connection, much like Tracy and Kate.

Luke and Laura were horrible with the way they did the pretend reunion. Luke couldn't have faked being ill and insisted the party be postponed, then told Tracy after everyone was gone? They HAD to humiliate her? BALONEY, and I'm so glad Dillon is chewing them up. He may be my new favorite after Tracy, LOL. Anyone who gets in Laura's face and gives her what for is a winner in my book. She deserved it, too. :)

Dillon, my love. Marry me.

Anyway-Jane and Tony rocked their scenes. I have been thinking all along that Luke will die, and I'm not entirely convinced it won't at least be a presumed death. However I read somewhere that TG didn't like everything about his exit story, and I've heard LnL fans will be happy, so perhaps that means LnL will get their ending together, but maybe off screen, since TG exits months before GF? Or Luke could travel with Lucky for a while.

IDK though. To me, just sending Luke Spencer for good out of town is such a lame ending, with or without Laura. I know they did it decades ago, but back then they figured eventually both would return. This time, it's for good. I don't think it's a good ending for any character. I agree with what one actor said one time, such an ending-just sending the character out of town-it's almost like they don't count enough to give a good send off.

So perhaps that is why he's unhappy, that Luke just kind of slinks away.

I'd love for his ending to be to die in Tracy's arms after she learns the truth. But what I think will happen, if indeed it's an out of town ending, is that Tracy will learn the truth and still feel betrayed that he didn't trust her enough to tell her. They'll still be done. She'll finally keep her word this time, and Luke will know it, and will leave town.

How that's good for LnL is beyond me, unless they do the "insta reunion" route with them and have them realize in a few short weeks that they really can't live without each other. It sounds like something this regime would do.

Anyway,enough of all that. Just happy Dillon is back. I think the actor is good and has great chemistry with JE, and those were the two main things I was worried about.

I have a bunch of different feeling about last week, but I think the thing I am most mad at is the writers! I feel like this is just lazy writing and the fake sense of urgency to help Lucky and not tell anyone and pretend to be back together is what makes non-soap fans laugh at the genre and people like myself actual soap fans wonder why we still watch. It's as if the writers just blocked out the storyline like.....

Laura comes back

interrupts Lacy engagement

tells Luke what's wrong

Luke breaks engagement

can't tell anyone

pretends to get back together

go helps Lucky

But instead of this happening over a period time it all happened in one episode. And I have a feeling this is what Tony meant about having to "let Luke go" and do what they write because he is playing it so wooden and uncaring like hurting Tracy was nothing. It feels like he is reading a teleprompter and don't get me started on Genie, she is so NOT a good actor; when in the room with JE and TG she sticks out like a sore thumb.

I do like this new Dillon and I agree with ILTQ when he told Laura to walk out I was cheering him on! Tracy needs someone completely on her side and he came back just in time.

**There is a spoiler out there that says Bobbie gets in Laura's face about what went down at the engagement party, I hope this happens because someone needs to get in her face and tell her whats what!

So I had a nice post typed out, and then, my computer froze. mad.gifmad.gifmad.gif

ILTQ, do you think that Tracy was more likely to associate with people "lower" than her on The City because she was away from her family? Maybe she was feeling lonely? Then again, she did have her family around when Marco came into the picture, so there goes that theory. To me, it just seems out of character for her to be associating with "the nanny" or "the maid" even though I love any screen time for Tracy. She and Sabrina were funny today, along with Sam. Hope it continues.

Tracy is in the previews tomorrow with Luke/Laura and Dillon/Lulu. She is mad at Dillon, "Oh my God, Dillon, how could you?" It's too soon for her to find out about Lucky. Wonder if Dillon makes up something to keep the truth a secret? There is speculation that Dillon was recast only because Tony wanted Jane to have something to do once he was gone. If that's true, what happens to Tracy/Dillon once Tony isn't around to keep making his suggestions? I personally don't think any actor should have that amount of power, but if he is the reason we got Dillon, then I won't complain.

I am confused as to who would kidnap Lucky and then demand Luke and Laura pretend to be together?

Lazy writers that's who!?!?! It's suppose to be some big secret that only Luke can know and now Lulu and Dillon know and soon Tracy will know. It's SO lame!

**There is a new summer promo (no pic of Tracy, of course) that shows Lucky at Elizabeth's door, so much for danger!!

Maybe a de-SORASed Lulu? :)

It is SO lame! Getting more far-fetched by the minute.

Did Laura really get such a phone call, and if so, why would she take seriously what sounds to me like a prank call? Oh, it's PC, where everything is life or death.

Or is this about Tracy? Who would want her free, this much?

Actually, I almost teared up during the proposal and the confrontation at the party. I think TG is really selling it right now that he loves Tracy. I think the woodeness is because he was trying to not show how he was really feeling when they were lying to Tracy. Agreed that GF just isn't very good. And yeah again I love me some Dillon. I am really liking the recast and how obviously hurt Dillon is FOR Tracy.

Well, I am suspecting the whole thing could somehow be about ELQ, and that the shares Luke has, he'll have to give up to get Lucky released, but I wasn't specifically thinking Tracy.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if it were Paul behind it all(I don't even care about the reason. I know it's not likely, it's probably Helena, it's such a stupid, stupid story.

I think Tracy is, as Wally Kurth once said, " a woman crying out to be loved". It says a lot about her so called family that she'd take scraps from Luke, scraps from servants(I can remember Reginald comforting her several times) and those "lower" than her, because she's so hungry for any kind of positive attention at all. I think the reason Tracy will take Sabrina's offer of friendship is for those reasons, and those reasons are the same ones why she's so "warm and fuzzy" about baby AJ and probably Danny, too. For someone who is supposed to be so snobby and uppity, she just wants what everyone else wants. She just tries to get it all the wrong ways, with mostly the wrong people.

What worries me is the previews. Tracy is yelling at Dillon and he's breathing really fast, like he's emotionally distressed. Did she slap him for something? She didn't seem mad enough to do it, but if she did, BAD TRACY. NO. Your baby was defending your honor, even if you don't know it. He's obviously upset though, and it's because of LnL's lie and this stupid stupid stupid SL. What does he say? Does anyone know? Is his lie to her what she is emotionally distraught over, that she needs comforting for, or is it simply Luke leaving with Laura?

And yeah I do think once Tracy knows Dillon and Lulu both knew, it's gonna be heartwrenching. I'm really liking this Dillon and I think he's great with JE. I can't wait for tomorrow. I haven't said that about GH in so, so long. I agree MsQ, I don't care why we got Dillon back. I am just gonna enjoy it while it lasts. smile.png

ETA to ask, anyone have any Q spoilers?

truenorth, I thought Ned was the only one who handed shares over for Olivia and the baby? Still strange though... They hadn't been together that long, and all of a sudden, he was giving up his family's company for her. I did like them together though, and now, I miss Ned again.

ILTQ, if you were in college and had to write a character analysis for a literature class or whatever, you would totally succeed at writing one about Tracy (even though GH is not literature, but whatever). I do remember a couple scenes with Reginald, but again, never thought of them as friends, but your description of why Tracy interacts with these characters makes perfect sense. And now, I really need a Tracy/Avery scene once a week. They are too adorable. wub.png

About Dillon - it didn't seem like she slapped him to me, but why do I feel like she's slapped Ned before? Maybe Dillon is breathing fast 'cause he is trying to figure out what to say. He is probably not as good as a liar as the rest of the Quartermaines - ha. I have no clue what he says, but Tracy seems really upset. The only spoiler said that Tracy tries to get the truth out of Lulu. I didn't even know Dillon was going to be part of it. Hopefully, it comes out that the 2 of them knew, didn't tell Tracy, and then, she can react accordingly. I think Dillon comforts Tracy on Wednesday because LnL go off together.

My question is did this mysterious person specifically say that Tracy had to be left out? I can't remember what Laura said. Why not clue her in, and then she can act like LnL are getting back together - complete with removing the ring and reaming into Luke. It's sad that she had to have her heart broken again. I know a lot of people don't have pity for her because she keeps taking Luke back, but people in love do foolish things, right?

Haven't seen any spoilers beyond this week. Apparently, Teresa Castillo said she and Jane have more coming up, so I'm all about that. Guessing it's ELQ related. Hope Tracy stays in that story. Since Tracy's been on quite a bit the last few weeks, I'm guessing her air time will decrease for a little while later this month and into July. Hopefully, I'm wrong about that.

I think it is too bad that the writers chose to have the story end for them this way, but I am not sorry that Tracy got angry and decided to speak the brutally honest truth to Luke.

I think when all is said and done, and Tracy becomes aware that everything that Laura and Luke did was to save their son, I think that she will be glad that they were able to come to their son's aid, I really do. I seem to have more faith in Tracy than a lot of people (here and elsewhere). Unfortunately, I feel that even if she might be able to get over that part of the deceit, there are two other parts that she will not get over easily. The first part of that is that Lulu and Dillon knew the truth way sooner than she did and didn't tell her. The second part to that is that Luke didn't have any trust in her and that she would understand from the get-go.

See, if anything, that convo needs to happen. Then and only then will we find out if Lunacy has a chance, or not. With Tony Geary leaving the show, we know that there is no chance.

I will say that I hope the Tracy/Sabrina friendship takes off. Sabrina needs more friends and so does Tracy. Besides, if Tracy and Lulu have a falling out in the near future, that new found friendship could be just what the Doctor (Dr. O) ordered.

I agree with the person that said that Tracy and Doc O should be friends. They seem more likely to have things in common than Tracy and other characters. As for those that said that Tracy is too high class to be friends with the likes of Sam and Sabrina, why would anyone say such a silly thing? Even if Tracy feels that way, I am surprised that so many on here feel that way. JE is a legend, a tried and true pro in the genre. Anyone and everyone on the show would benefit to share scenes with her.

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob andĀ  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no. Ā

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be ā€œbought from the grave,ā€ and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism.Ā Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki ā€œat a time like this.ā€ Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is ā€œforcedā€ to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.Ā  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.Ā  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect.Ā 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.Ā  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.Ā  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
    • GH 1976 Pt 8 Heather takes advantage of the situation by asking Jeff to come and look at Tommy. She uses sympathy, compassion, and her own feminine wiles, together with his misery and his pills, to lure him into bed. Later, sober, he apologizes. Learning from Pearson that Monica has seen a divorce lawyer, Jeff confronts her, and she insists it’s a lie. Avoiding his attempts to kiss her, she musses her hair and tears her blouse, then rushes to Rick’s, claiming that she can’t stay with that maniac any longer. They wind up in Rick’s bed, and after making love he confesses he always loved her. Rick replies to her question of whether he wants to marry her by saying he has to talk to Jeff. Monica insists that Jeff not bear any pressure from their problems. As she leaves, Rick gives her a key to his apartment. Jeff, having spent the night drinking, misses his surgical assignment, and Steve, informing him that his personal life can’t interfere with his profession, puts him on suspension. Rick can’t persuade Steve to reverse his decision, but Mark, sensing what’s at the heart of Jeff’s problem, convinces Steve to lift Jeff’s suspension and transfer him to Mark’s service. Rick asks for his key back, telling Monica they can’t do anything as long as she’s under Jeff’s roof. So she has a duplicate made and moves into intern’s quarters, explaining that Jeff’s violence drove her out. She tells Jeff she needs privacy to work things out, and tells Rick Jeff wanted her out. Thinking that this is the preliminary to a divorce, Rick tells her she can come to his place. In New York, Leslie’s abortion is delayed by a mix-up in scheduling, and she calls Terri to commiserate. Rick overhears Terri’s conversation and forces the whole story from her. He flies to New York to stop Leslie, feeling responsible for pointing out how evil Cam was, and arrives to find that she has decided she can’t deny her child the right to live. Monica, meanwhile, expecting that Rick will be home, uses her key to let herself into his apartment and is shocked to find Mark there; knowing that Mark was uncomfortable at the hotel, Rick offered Mark use of the apartment in his absence. Monica is upset to learn that Rick is in New York with Leslie, and Mark doesn’t know why. Mark does advise Monica to play fair with Jeff, but she resents his interference. The next day, while covering for Leslie at the clinic, Monica discovers Leslie’s lab test report and jumps to the conclusion that the baby is Rick’s. When Rick and Leslie return, Monica wastes no time in accusing him. He is dismayed to see that she is still as suspicious and possessive as she was before he went to Africa, and points out that her making a duplicateĀ  key proves she hasn’t changed. Terri encourages Leslie to see Rick in a romantic light and then suggests to Rick that Leslie is interested in him. Rick likes this idea and tells Mark he’s growing ā€˜unwilling to cope with Monica’s unreasonable demands. But Monica immediately recognizes the threat Leslie represents and decides to attack. She goes to Leslie and tells her flatly that she and Rick are having an affair and he’s her exclusive property. Leslie, who realizes she has been falling in love with Rick, is hurt, and Rick is mystified when he feels Leslie pulling away from him. Monica’s big moment comes when she brings Rick a housewarming gift and seduces him into letting her stay overnight. She is in the bedroom when Leslie stops by to apologize for refusing his dates, and makes a dramatic entrance into the living room draped in Rick’s bathrobe. Leslie turns and runs out. Rick later informs her he’s disappointed in her, because she prejudged Monica and him rather than giving him the benefit of the doubt. Heather tries to arrange another tryst with Jeff, but he replies that he still loves his wife. Heather decides there’s only one way to get Jeff to be pregnant with his child. She manages to overhear Monica putting Jeff down by telling him he no longer turns her on and should look for someone he does. Heather goes to Jeff and tells him that she heard Monica and that she is the one he’s looking for. She manages to get him into bed again, and sweetly assures him this is right. She then sets the stage for future meetings. Steve, meanwhile, offers to help Monica and Jeff work out their problems. Jeff is willing, but Monica turns the idea down. Instead, she presses Terri to convince Jeff to end the marriage. Terri now knows that Monica isn’t a good wife for Jeff and promises to try. But Jeff makes it clear to Monica that he still loves her and won’t let her go. She is bitter and upset, as she has already implied to Rick that she will soon be free. Audrey is upset to find that Florence Andrews has been inquiring about Tommy and herself. She goes to Florence’s home and finds she’s away now. Florence has gone down to Mexico to sign a sworn statement that she purchased a false death certificate for Tom, to protect his son after his wrongful conviction. Tom, learning from her that Steve and Audrey are to be married and Steve is planning to adopt Tommy, tellsĀ  Florence not to do anything, as there’s still no assurance that he’ll ever get out. But the judge does accept the statement, and, ironically, on the day that SteveĀ  and Audrey are married, Tom is released from prison.
    • 1976 Pt 12 Final part Laurie agrees with Stuart that Peggy is rushing into marriage to prove that the rape didn’t ruin her life.Ā  She points out that the only way Peg can be sure is to make love with Jack before the wedding. Stuart admits she’s right but points out that he can’t suggest that to Peggy. As the wedding approaches, Peg seems happy that Jack’s become close to the family. However, her happiness is shattered by a nightmare in which her loving bridegroom turns into a leering Ron Becker, forcing her to cancel the wedding. Jack reassures her he’ll wait as long as it takes, and Chris confides that she and Snapper didn’t consummate their marriage on their wedding night because of her own rape experience, but Peggy tells Chris she might never be ready.Ā  Despite her desire to keep Karen as her own daughter, Chris helps a police artist create a sketch of Nancy so it can be printed in the newspaper as part of a search for her. When the attempt proves fruitless, however, Chris asks Greg to file application for permanent custody of the child. Greg points out that adoption is the only way to prevent Ron from returning and claiming the child, and that it will take quite a while. Meanwhile, a nurse in the psychiatric ward sees a resemblanceĀ  between the newspaper drawing and her autistic patient, Mrs. Jackson, but since ā€œFranā€ doesn’t respond to the name Nancy and no one else sees the similarity, she fears she’s mistaken. Jill is horrified to overhear Kay, when brihging baby Phillip a Christmas gift, telling the child she remembers the night he was conceived. Kay has to then admit to Jill she saw her with Phillip in the bunkhouse that night. Jill is aghast to realize that Kay new the truth all along and put her through such agony in spite of it, denying her baby his father’s name. Lance tells Laurie they’ll marry on Valentine’s Day. He laughs that it’s corny but agrees, secretly wishing it were sooner, as Vanessa has vowed to prevent it. Indeed, Vanessa makes an unprecedented venture out of the house to visit Brad, telling him to rebuff any advance Leslie might make to him, as she’s reaching out to him only from a sense of duty. But Laurie then makes a concerted effort to reach Vanessa. Without being sure why she’s trying so hard, she tries to assure the woman she’s not losing Lance and she, Laurie, will help her find a plastic surgeon somewhere who can help her. Grudgingly, Vanessa seems to be reconsidering her view of Laurie, and Laurie is delighted when Lance offers her a choice between two diamond necklaces, explaining that her preference will be Vanessa’s Christmas gift. Learning from Les about Brad’s blindness, Stuart tells Brad he could have turned Leslie away only out of great love. Knowing that Les is going to see Brad again, Laurie warns him not to bring the baby into their discussion, as Leslie will come back only she’s convinced he loves her, not for the babies sake. Leslie finds Brad disheveled and sloppy, and proceeds to straighten the apartment, stating that she can't respect him if he lets himself go. Realizing that neither Brad nor Les will make the first move, Laurie hurries things along by refusing to help Brad with his grooming, saying he should ask his wife. Then, having learnedĀ  that Brad offered Les the use of their piano, Laurie untunes the Brooks' piano forcing Leslie to accept his offer. By refusing to cater to hisĀ  blindness, Les manages to get Brad to stop wallowing in pity, and by the time Leslie’s Christmas braille message of her love and her need for him arrives, they are husband and wife again Lance takes Laurie on a business trip on New Year's Eve, and tells her, on board his plane, she won't beĀ  won't be able to call him ā€œMr. All Talk and No actionā€ after tonight. When Laurie protests that waited this long and will continue to wait until married, Lance delights her by instructing his pilot to land in Las Vegas, where they are married immediately.
    • Yeah, not sure why Jack and Jen didn’t rush to Marlena - or even Carrie - to offer their condolences. A few flashbacks would've been a nice touch too. Instead, we got a whole episode of them talking about Chad and Abby? Come on. On the bright side, I loved Anna’s scenes with Marlena and Carrie - sweet and heartfelt, felt like a real 80s throwback.
