I remember the scenes of post-catatonia Laura reuniting with each of her three children, and how shocked she was by teen Lulu. It was the first time she realized how much time she'd lost. It will be great if Show plays to that history a little and Laura helps Lulu through that same trauma.... I was also trying to remember if Dustin died before or after Lulu collapsed at the hospital -- in other words, whether that will be a shock.

The Casablanca references were a little on the nose, but it was cute. I DID appreciate Robert saying that it was going to be a round trip.

Maybe it's because i'm already familiar with, and a fan of, Van Hansis from ATWT, but I like this Lucas. And I'm just glad the character has a storyline. I just wish a single medical professional other than Brad would point out that there's no point in speculating and laying blame until the test results are in.

Dante is like the new Mac -- just collecting kids along the way.Forget my previous idea of 3 Men and a Mansion. I want him to just sue Jason, Drew and even Valentine for custody to give "his kids" stability.

Imagine if tomorrow's show starts the dozen other family members and staff who would logically have access to the playroom camera staring at their phones in horror. I do hope that in the middle of his upcoming pout tantrum, Michael mentions in passing why there would be a motion detector cam in a place where children constantly move around.

Maybe? But he did go on and on about how cultured her character was, the piano playing, etc. Meanwhile, I know we joke about the Q mansion being the dumping ground for unwanted kids. But it really would be ideal, at least in the short-term following Sam's death, for the three kids and their three dads to stay there. Drew's already there, Jason obviously has a right to be there, and Dante's mother is the current mother hen of the house.

A couple of years ago someone asked Tristan which of Robert's love interests was his own favorite and his answer was Katherine. I was like -- eh? But I'm sure daytime actors especially have their own idiosyncratic reasons, which include a combination of personality interactions and how interesting the SL itself is. These days, Tristan seems to light up most in scenes with Diane, however the viewers might feel about it.

It seems odd that they would give him a daughter in order to do that. I wish that he and Anna would stop going for sub-par romantic partners and just get back together!

I wonder if Drew will drop out of the race to be there for Scout? I would rather they let all three kids be raised by Dante and NuLu, but I guess in the short-term could give the show an excuse to keep Drew and not mess up his big love triangle. Speaking of, I'm struggling to remember if she knew Sam, specifically, was diving. Sam "floated" (sorry) the idea of personally doing a dive for the gun weeks ago, but whoever it was she talked to about it didn't want her risking her safety because of strong currents.

Listen, I would normally assume they're gone, but because in the past they came out of nowhere to ding me for the stupidest stuff, I inevitably just picture a monkey's paw curling whenever anything politics-adjacent comes up. There's gotta be a killer mod-bot lurking somewhere in the software. 😉

They definitely floated the idea of an embolism while they were still working on her. If that ends up being the cause, it will really devastate Alexis.

It's magnificent..... I had been wondering if there was a way to post about this here because it's, uh, too topical for the traditional forum rules? But I WILL say, shallowly. that Show needs to start featuring Ric in more casual wear instead of those boxy lawyer suits, because the silver fox is foxing in this vid!

My longshot theory continues to be that Sam was the diver who retrieved the gun, and consequently had some kind of lurking bubble [insert correct medical lingo] situation that the surgery turned fatal. Now, now. Sometimes he puts one hand earnestly on this chest.

Wow, I thought he was just amazing.

Billy died last year, if that's who you're referencing.
