Luke dumped Lulu on Lesley's doorstep because he couldn't be bothered with her after Laura got sick and has also said he never even wanted kids that was all laura.
That's why I said "even Luke". You missed the point. Luke was offered the same choice by his great love as Frisco did, and he told her NO, that no matter what happened in their relationship Laura giving him permission to leave his kids for a life of adventure and risk wasn't going to happen. So will some non-blind Frisco fan explain to me why, if he was such a great dad, he didn't do the same? If he wanted to be with his kids it wouldn't have mattered what Felicia said.
Because Tony Geary was on contract with GH and Jack Wagner was on contract with MP. So unless you recast Jack Wagner, fire Kristina Wagner or kill off the Jones girls, the only other option was to create a credible back story for Frisco's absence. Which they didn't do.

I think F&F would've been better off if they never had kids. I get that popular couple babies were celebrated back then because they carry the legacy forward but here it sorta backfired. Wonderful characters who've been smeared because the actors didn't stick around but their kids were too important to write off the canvas.

Please tell me what memorable front burning stories were written for Mac.
Now we're moving goalposts. Typical. 
NOP, I don't think they did. The goal posts were Frisco, and by some extension Robert and Anna. These characters were leads, that had storylines centered around them by the HW. Mac never had that, he always had a supporting role. Of course he was written in (not for), since he has been on the show for 24 years.
No, I'm not playing the goalpost game.
I responded to a person who said that no headwriter had any interest in writing for Mac after Robert was gone. I never said that Mac became the next Robert or even a lead. But six or more other headwriters, especially during ALL the 90s, wrote for Mac. He had significant screentime up until about 2002. He was involved in lots of stories. IT's dead wrong to say no headwriter had interest in writing for Mac after he failed to become the next Robert or Frisco.
Sorry, I don't discount characters just because they're not leads. 85% of soap characters aren't leads. Since when is this the "lead vets only" thread?

That's my least favorite part of this thread. Too many people acting like only 4 or 5 characters matter. GH has a great stable of amazing vets.
