Lucky could find out that Kelly's is now Bobbie's and show a flashback of him and Bobbie when he was a child.
Yes. And then go visit Bobbie and Spencer's graves. JJ would rock those scenes. I can picture the glassy-eyed look he would get as his eyes welled with tears over Bobbie being gone and the fact he didn't make it to her funeral. I'll also throw in some interaction with Maxie and a prison visit to see Nikolas. Hell, Dante is his brother in law. Rocco is his nephew. And as you said, Tracy. She was Luke's domestic partner before he died. Tracy could tell Lucky if his dad was happy and if he ever talked about him.
He could deal with Aiden hating him for being away for so long and Liz's anger over that also. Interacting with Tracy and Ace etc.
Liz going off on him should be on the menu. Even though he was a grifter and had ties to the mob--Lucky worshipped Luke for a long time. When he was present--he was a decent father. Lucky being this degree of absentee father is way out of character.
This isn't hard to write.
Exactly. I agree with you. With a legacy character like Lucky Spencer, this could easily write itself. Chris is a hack. He was fired for a reason and should not have been brought back.
