Need some help understanding what happened with Luke. According to RC interview, he said Luke split when he suffered electric shock (but it's not DID?) when Heather put him in the insane asylum, if that's the case? How was he funded Julian for years? Where did he get the funds to do that and why would he if it all just happened recently? It was just a year since Heather locked him up..Also why was Luke acting so pervy? As they showed us? Luke said he turned into Tim Spencer? Ok Tim Spencer was a abusive dunk but he didn't killed anybody or wanted to kill his family like the person Luke turned into? I still don't understand what happened with Luke, even though I thought April 1st was the best, well written soap I have seen in years from this show. I'm still left with so many questions because nothing really added up, nor made any sense re Luke and what they showed us leading up to this story. Why did Luke want to kill his whole family? Why did Luke join forces with Helena? why was he acting like perv? Why? Why? Why? .
The story has so many holes because TG admitted that it was really suppose to be Bill eckert and not Fluke , but the audience figured it out :lol:
Not sure what snorting cocaine or sniffing after young girls or trying to kills anybody he came in contact with. (Remember he wanted Ava to killed Michael too) had to do with Bill Eckert either. TG was playing it wrong too. That's what happens when you give you actor free reign to do their one person show for the audience.
I didn't know he admited he was supposed to be Bill.
He admitted that in his interview with Michael Logan.

Sad Duke and Anna couldn't make it work in the 21st century. Disappointing.
;notfair :sigh :sad :whiteflag
So sorry. :cried: but I think RC mess up Duke and DnA when they put him anywhere near Sonny and his gummy bear mob. When Duke started betraying Anna for SONNY? That was the end for me.
I know. You don't even need to be a fan of Duke to write him correctly - really all the characters correctly. Not every character has to be sacrificed for Sonny. I feel like we're back in the Guza years. Or that a 2nd graders is writing this show. It's so juvenile. Can't we find someone that can write a somewhat decent show and doesn't insult the viewers' intelligence on a daily basis?

I agree but I think that they really gave up trying to write for him. I think they are stuck between a rock and a hard place here. If they didn't decide to keep IB after the Faison story and have them find the real Duke, fans would have been in an uproar then(maybe not as much now), but still. I don't think they banked on IB and FH not having any chemistry together anymore, and really minimized their screen time together the last 2 years. They basically gave up trying to fit Duke/IB anywhere and decided for shock-value, lets kill him and (don't know if its true, but a lot of spoilers/info indicate) have Anna be the one to do it. I actually think, based on RCs interview a couple of months ago (where he said he wanted to shake Duke/Anna up a long time ago) that it was then they had already decided that Duke was going to be written out. Maybe they were seeing if FH was going to leave as well when her contract was up this month. It appears she's not, so Duke is now a casualty

I've said that I don't think RC's creative enough but then he wrote a solid story for the Luke & Spencer family fb and everybody praised him but then you realize, that's how he supposed to write all his stories, so he has it in him but only bring it out for very special episodes, like show anniversary.

But the Spencer storyline is not a well-written storyline. There was ONE episode that was good. ONE. The rest had viewers begging for the long drawn out storyline to end on a daily basis. Plus, the storyline had more holes in it than swiss cheese. It did not make sense. No, I really don't think RC has it in him to write a good storyline.

I think daytime as a whole needs to be shaken up. We need new producers and new writers - not the same old ones that are recycled from soap to soap. Surely, there are some creative writers and producers out there other than the same 12 that soap hop.

They were trying to claim Bill Eckert was a bad horrible man, remember the scenes where Bobbie implied that Bill was abusive to Sly ..Bill Eckert was originaly a toatal snooozefest bore and a loving father , remember his nickname for sly..Jellybean..., they did make Bill a little meaner towards the end because he was a flop but not to the degree that the show was implying , not a monster like were going to claim before RC had to change it to fluke.

RC interview a few months back? Spelled it out clearly that he had no interest in DnA and they need a shake up. Others took it as to mean some angst? I took it as meaning that the pair doesn't inspired him. When you think about his original plan was sticking them in a triangle with Robert. DnA would've always had a 3rd parties stuck in because the couple didn't inspired him to write for them as just a pair and I blame that on Finola and Ian not having the chemistry as a romantic pair that interest RC.

Exactly, they were planning on turning Bill into a total monster.
