Additional Comments: I just couldn't watch the Luke & Laura scenes yesterday. So Sad! I FF'd all of it. Knowing she was leaving for good was too hard to watch! Luke should have just gotten on the plane with her. When Laura asked Luke about their future together, he should have said he loved her & couldn't live without her......then without any hesitation walked on the plane with her! I noticed that Lulu is alot more tolerable when she's with her mother. She's calmer & doesn't babble on & on like she usually does. Even Nickolas & Lucky are more relaxed when she's around. Luke is like a different man too when he's with Laura! I like that Luke! But, I have to say that when he's with Tracy he's fun & spices up the show! And it looks like that's who he'll end up with. I guess I'll just have to get used to THAT Luke! What choice do we have?! You gotta love the guy!

As a L&L fan I am so disappointed by the way L&L were written. I don't feel they can come back from this. I am not a Luke and Tracy fan so I have nothing to look forward to where they are concerned.

I disagree that the characters couldn't come back from this. Anything is possible w/a soap & familiar, popular characters. I just wouldn't trust today's Suits to know how to do it, well. The only thing they really seem capable of is destruction, in general. But that isn't just about ABC/Disney or GH, it is a common issue for ALL soaps these days. It is also not a new problem. The individual faces change, but the problems remain. These have been issues for over 20 yrs, w/no good solutions being implimented. That is more of a Corp. think problem than about individuals. eom

That nice, loving, sober Luke that you see when he is around Laura, is the REAL Luke. He can be funny, cynical, witty, quirky and somewhat law-bending, too, when he is with his angel. He always was. But around Tracy he is just a lazy drunken fool, letting her brow-beat and generally out-sass him. Tracy's traits are fine when they are directed at other Qs, but Luke would never put up with that Tracy. He doesn't even relate well to his kids when Tracy is there--but he was warm and caring to his kids when Laura is there, the way he once was. I hate the pairing of Tracy and Luke and always will. And it makes a lie of years and years of excellent writing of the best love story ever. That is a crying shame. Guza is a butcher. The way he is ruining the best soap icon ever, well, Sonny should shoot HIM.

As for the rest of the show--if only we could get out of the gutter and into some decent caring drama.
