I'm having a hard time trying to figure out the reasoning behind this whole story line, because the writers are really doing a sloppy job. One day Joselain is fine, small fever, the next stage 5 kidney cancer, hours later transplant surgery and minutes later smiling and healthy. Poor Jake barely had his last breathe and they have Liz mourning at home all alone- other than brother Steve, funeral anyone and where's Lucky? The death and transplant must be a catalyst for new stories and relationships... but getting there is so choppy and full of holes it's difficult to follow.Quote:

OMG..your kidding me...I haven't been watching but I have seen the commericals...Luke running over a small child and leaving...pfffffffftttttttttQuote:

Hard to believe they are going to pin "baby killer" on Anthony Geary--he's been such a beloved character who does get a bit naughty at times with petty crimes but never evil.Quote:

He was Lucky when I stopped watching years ago and they had just brought him back when I started watching again last year, so I don't know any other Lucky. I remember him as a boy, so total continuity for me.
I hate this. They could have gotten rid of crazy lisa, they could have done some fantastic things with Carly but they have Luke be the one. FRIKING stupid
Seeing Becky Herbst's work this week makes me even more sure that TPTB were idiots for even thinking about firing her.
Even though I HAAAATE when they kill a child, it is causing so many actors on the show to up their game. I also HATE that Luke is the driver - as someone else said, this was a perfect opportunity to get Lisa out of town - but I'm sure Tony Geary will give an incredible performance.
We're already seeing more firings, perhaps as a result of them un-firing Becky:Click to see Spoiler:
I'm honestly not sure I'll miss any of the above :mmmQuote:

I don't mind being "emotionally manipulated" when I turn into a soap...I want them to make me feel something about what I'm watching. Whether it's anger, sadness, joy or that kind of sappy feeling when you watch a great couple. That's why I watch :shrug I don't find it out of character at all that Luke hit Jake. It wasn't an evil, intentional act...it was a tragedy. After all, they set it up well enough that we are supposed to suspend belief and imagine that a road filled with multiple pot holes would allow for someone to maybe not fully realize they hit a toddler ;) The fact that Luke may have drinking...not drunk mind you, but he likely had a drink or two...sends an important message. It literally could have been anybody in a similar situation. And the fact that Luke was so sure it was Carly...well, that would be Luke - blind to his own possible culpability. I think the dynamics of the situation will give great story for some powerhouse actors to play. When the writing is good, the acting is good, and the story holds my interest, I'll go along for the ride. Honestly if I'd had my way, "Gone With the Wind" would probably have wrapped up in about 300 pages, no children would have died, and Scarlett and Rhett would be living happily ever after (hence why I don't write fiction!).
