BYE!

Yeah… why do I think that Frank Valentini is full of [!@#$%^&*]? 

I love Lucky, and was extremely disappointed in how the character was written this time.  

What a waste. I guess it was just a quick cash grab for JJ.

This is precisely why I was not clamoring for a Liz and Lucky reunion. It’s time to move on from that ever being a legitimate pairing again. 

That was Y&R levels of a waste of time. Even that Siobhan story BITD was better!

Nope.

Guess it was a one year deal

Look the mistake was making Lucky into Luke

Greg Vaughn was interesting as Lucky  just sayin

I would have to respectfully disagree...I think everything in JJ's last return nuked the character for future value.

How much longer is Steve Burton's contractual obligation?

From everything I knew about his return last year, he had a two-year contract with a one-year out clause. Whether he took the out or the show let him go is yet to be determined, officially.

Steve himself announced he signed a two-year deal.

January/February 2026 should line up to his two-year mark of return; he was reportedly back on set on February 5, 2024, per Deadline Hollywood.
