Totally knew it was coming when he was telling Carly she did it. Then he gets Lucky all worked up and he is the one. Not sure how even Luke can live with himself after this.

I really believe Luke didn't know he hit that child and assumed he would know if he did. He didn't and I really think he is very hurt and sorry he did this. I think he assumed Carly made the most since . She can't drive, she admits that. I hate that they made Luke the person to kill that child instead of Lisa. Now saying that this story gave us a reminder of what a wonderful actor Tony G is. \I hate the story and killing a kid that have a future on this show though.

Apparently no one had any clue that Jake was out on the road. I really don't like the s/l of Luke being the person that hit Jake. I can't image how this will be spun, but unless they are planning on dumping AG what is the point?After all of these years and all of their problems, Luke and Lucky have finally developed a relationship and now that will be shattered. It will probably end whatever was left of his friendship with Sonny, and Jason is about to kill him. Luke is a con artist and grifter, not a child killer and to make the victim his adopted grandson is just wrong. Unless this starts looking like he was set up by Franco or the Balkin or anyone, this may be the end of GH for me.The s/l made no sense after they decided to keep RH, and the Balkin (who is leaving anyway) and Lisa were much better choices for the driver.

He was drinking and driving! I think that is part of the issue they were trying to showcase. He was impaired and driving like crazy to get to the justice of the peace.

You may turn out to be right in the end and it turn out not to be Luke but for now we could look forward to some good acting between those two actor. I have always love Anthony it will be nice to see him and Lucky pick up the pieces and act their heart out in the process.

So ,if ,what? seven people were on the suspect list, and were driving by Liz's during a short time span how does that work????was Luke the last driver? did anyone drive by while Jake lay in the road? did any of the drivers see each other on the road...other then Lisa and Robin...And the fact that most of the drivers were impaired and none of them , except sadly Luke, were sure they DIDN"T hit Jake makes me friggin glad I don't walk or drive the streets of PC.....

What you said make sense was Luke the last driver or didn't any one else see Jake laying in the street , but I guess every one on the list seem to be in their own world for one reason or another so it's hard to say. It is just awful that it is Luke because how do you get over something like this.

I hope this turns into a story to get Luke to AA. I don't want the town to hate Luke. No way did he do this on purpose. And as far as serves him right.... I don't see that at all unless this sends him to AA. Luke is a great guy and would never hurt a child. At the show shows Luke drinking all the time but not drunk! I know this much the acting was the best I have seen in a long time on a soap.

I know this much the acting was the best I have seen in a long time on a soap. The acting was amazing. Was so angry when they brought Jonathan Jackson back but OMG! He made me realize that he can act. WOW! Blew me away. I am sure this will lead to Anthony's vacation. WOW, both of them rock. I couldn't stop crying. Why can't he see he drank and killed someone. So upsetting.

This whole s/l reeks. It just doesn't track. The police found DNA on the car, where on the car? Was Luke the first or the last car through the street? Nobody can say that they saw Jake and no one felt an impact and you would feel one if you hit even a small child.If this is going to be a rehash of the Monica 'drunk driving' story line, why was there no lead up? Luke's been drinking for years, but there's never been an issue about it before. Now everyone is on the "we've seen your problem for years, but ok course, we didn't say anything about it bandwagon." Sonny is another one that's always drinking and he's on medication for his bipolar disease, but I don't hear anyone mentioning that to him either.And why is Franco back again? We all know that he would do 'anything' to get a reaction from Jason. If we are to believe the whole Sam/Brenda switch in the limo scenario, how much of a stretch would it be for Franco to be behind this?This just doesn't feel right, even though it's opened up the opportunity for some really great acting. Or was that the point all along???

It is some of the best acting I have seen in a very long time on a soap. But! I'm with you. Luke has always drank but come on how often do we ever see him drunk? I am assuming this is leading to AA/ rehab ( TG's vacation) but its a sucky way to do it. I really think the acting would have been just has great if the unidentifed car had hit Jake ( who never should have been killed off).... They only thing that has made this story worth watching is seeing JJ and TG in fine form again. All the Jason/Sam scenes have the chance for wonderful acting as well but all Sam does is go upstairs. Why? Last night while I watched I said to the TV ok Sam just walk up behind Jason (who was sitting in a chair) and just put your arms around him and hold him. No words needed. But she goes upstairs? There was a great chance and it was blown? Why? I just don't get it. And don't tell me that is what Jason wants. NO he needed to be held and comforted. I could just seen her doing that and him breaking down (then I would have broke down). Some times no words are needed in life or acting. We have greatness and not good at all and I don't get that .jmo

See I think saying he was drunk is wrong. Saying he was impaired is true. Maybe Luke wasn't drunk but he drank enough not to be able to react. He is what we call a functional alcoholic.

" functional alcoholic"Now that sounds much better.

Quote:" functional alcoholic"Now that sounds much better. Not to be preachy but there are a lot of people out there that are like that. They drink but never actually get drunk. Luke keeps saying I have never been drunk. What happens a lot with people who are alcoholics is they build a tolerance for drinking. When it used to take them 2 or 3 drinks t get drunk now takes 6 to 8. Luke is a person who doesn't get drunk, he drinks all the time and he can function but he has a problem. You don't have to be drunk to be impaired. He is in massive denial.

The acting in his club was way awesome though and give me some more of that.

I have known many addicts and they don't know it. It takes a something bad or a intervention (or both) to get through to them... if you can. Paul said something the other day about Tracy and Laura getting through to him. I would love to see a intervention get him to re-hab and bring peace back to all of them. I have no desire to see Jason, Elizabeth and Lucky hate Luke. Also I have to agree with Sonny (yikes!) on one thing. No lights, very dark road and little boy...anyone of them could have done this. Luke just happend to be there at the wrong time. All those drivers that night had there mind else where.

I think AG's been gearing up for this story for years. Luke is a "functioning alcoholic". That's why he never appears drunk. But, he can not get through anything without drinking. That is an alcoholic. Jason hit the nail on the head with Luke when he went to see him. When Luke is sober, his instincts & reflexes are precise & even heightened because he's a survivalist by nature. A sober Luke would have seen Jake or at least felt it when he hit him & a sober Luke would have stopped. That is why Jason, Lucky & even Tracy knew he was drunk. Deep down, I think even Luke knows the truth.

It sounds like I'm excusing him but thats not what I mean... I am hoping for a intervention or something to get him in re-hab.
