How so not original to dig up the old 1983 Avalanche storyline - and with no payoff ! It all pisses me off. I'm always happy to see Tracy and anyone with acting chops for that matter. Does this current audience still get a rise out of hearing Luke's name? Is that what they're looking for?
I watched it yesterday and when Laura cries, I cry. Happens everytime.
From the Fluke garbage to Luke slamming his mother upside the head with a baseball bat, it's all trash with the writers getting the last laugh. Tony made it clear that he couldn't stand Carlivati's story outlines. Luke did not kill his parents. How many times did he tell the story and then suddenly it was Oh, wait wait..this is what really happened...
I'm happy watching the old stuff, the real show, up till 2002. Then it was the Tracy and Luke comedy hour with a few well done scenes between Luke and Lulu and 2008 with a brief return to classic Luke and Laura working out issues. I don't even know why Laura has a brother with a southern accent (and Tad Martin at that)!
