I never thought he would return to the show. A few years ago he moved his family out of the country. I am glad to see him back since they have Laura with no children on the show now. They had Lucky in Africa and LuLu is a vegetable basically and Nik is gone. I always held out hope that Tyler Christopher might someday return and get his life together but with his passing that hope is gone. At least one of Laura's children with Luke will be on the show. Come home JJ. Since Michael Easton left the show Elizabeth is without a love interest so maybe she and Lucky might have some type of reunion.
