What I liked:

The wonderful flashbacks were so nostalgic. I had forgotten about Luke and Laura dancing in the department store. The Tracy/Luke--hell, even the Carly/Luke ones.

The temporary true for characters who don't ordinarily get along. It was nice to see.

Lulu seeing Luke (TG's final scene) as he walked off into the fog.

The acting.

What I disliked:

TG was an eight time Emmy winner. Whether you liked Luke or hated his guts--his character made a huge, unforgettable impact to the show. He was only supposed to be on a 2-3 weeks I think. GF and TG are the first and only soap stars to grace the cover of Newsweek Magazine. That's a big deal. So then why the hell were there only SIX characters paying tribute?!

Where was Aiden, Alexis, Felicia, Michael, Jason and most of all--Lucas! He's named after Luke for crying out loud. Instead of that day player Teri--they could should have had Lucas or Aiden there. A character and actor that were both larger than life deserved better.

Take a look at Epiphany's send off--22 characters were on set for that.

1. Elizabeth
2. Curtis
3. Bobbie
4. Felix
5. Brad
6. Carly
7. Felicia
8. Emma
9. Robert
10. Liesl
11. Marshall
12. Nina
13. Milo
14. Laura
15. Sonny
16. Portia
17. Spinelli
18. Sam
19. Finn
20. Diane
21. Willow
22. Deanna

I liked it-very touching. Thought there might be more Lucky. Really enjoyed - Jo16 - 22-Feb-2026 1:56 PM
I wonder if there had to be less people in order to pay for those flashbacks? EOM - CanaryFan98 - 20-Feb-2026 6:48 PM
- It's hard to include a dozen or more people in an epsiode reminiscing about - jeffb_FriscoSonnyFan - 20-Feb-2026 8:28 PM
  - Six people made no sense for a character that spent nearly 40 years on the show. - Antwon - 20-Feb-2026 8:40 PM
    - I get it. Its unfortunate some of the other vets like JZ aren't here. So many - jeffb_FriscoSonnyFan - 20-Feb-2026 9:29 PM
- You know, that is a strong possibility! EOM - Antwon - 20-Feb-2026 8:16 PM
I generally enjoyed it. It's never perfect but overall I love flashbacks EOM - jeffb_FriscoSonnyFan - 20-Feb-2026 6:21 PM
Lucas should've totally been there. Or any of Luke's grandkids. EOM - The_Cat_Did_It - 20-Feb-2026 5:58 PM
One of the best thing about soaps is they can do backflashes ... - kll - 20-Feb-2026 5:25 PM
Nothing is ever perfect. I liked it well enough. It was heartfelt. EOM - Sparky - 20-Feb-2026 4:51 PM
- No doubt! But I wasn't looking for perfect. I was looking for something fitting - Antwon - 20-Feb-2026 4:57 PM
  - Lucas? Were he and Luke close? EOM - jeffb_FriscoSonnyFan - 20-Feb-2026 6:23 PM
    - Well, he definitely wasn’t close to Carly and she was there. - Antwon - 20-Feb-2026 6:32 PM
      - He wasn't close to Carly but they certainly had a lot of scenes for several - jeffb_FriscoSonnyFan - 20-Feb-2026 8:18 PM
        
        I just don't think that closeness matters. It was his uncle. - Antwon - 20-Feb-2026 8:36 PM
I was alo underwhelmed. Too few characters. EOM - ladfan - 20-Feb-2026 4:28 PM
