Update Link: Chain Reaction – Part 22

Sorry about skipping yesterday! It was a ridiculous day from start to finish — normally, I’d say the Liason scenes made it all okay, but as good as they were (short but very sweet and promising) but the news that Jonathan Jackson is coming back later this summer. I couldn’t even enjoy tweeting about Liason like we usually do on their days because everyone started doomsdaying the whole thing. It’s like as soon as Steve came back, we weren’t allowed to be excited because oh, well, he’ll just go back to Carly or Sam. Like, damn, let me live, lol. I’m mostly neutral about the Lucky return. I’m enjoying the show right now, and I’m seeing some really good setup for Jason and Elizabeth (and some hopes that the spoiled Jason/Carly fight is as vicious as spoilers suggest).

I don’t see a lot of story for Lucky, but maybe he’ll be the one to figure out Spencer is alive and be part of bringing him home. He’s got a lot of history with the Cassadines and back from the dead, so it’d be a great way to dive back into their lore. Since working on FMT with the Lucky story there, I’m mostly ambivalent about him. I don’t see him as a failed character the way a lot of people do, but I think he’s really flawed, and he’s never had to face his shortcomings. Someone’s always made excuses for him. I think there’s something there, and JJ’s talented enough to do it. But will the writing be there? I don’t know.

BUT, lol, I’m feeling better. Last few weeks were crazy trying to get my summer school curriculum off the ground, fit in 50 hours of curriculum AND get caught up with my online class. Practically the only writing I did was flash fiction. But I’m looking forward to that paycheck 😛

To make up for missing yesterday (did I mention the credit card fraud I had to spend hours on the phone fixing? Someone charged 1800 worth of furniture to my Wayfair account) I’m adding a Saturday update.

See you tomorrow!
