[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 19652, member: 27"] Someone online suggested that it might be fun to have Robin and Patrick visit together....with Patrick being played by Steve Burton! :eek: I don't think I've ever seen a soap actually attempt to plug the plotholes they created with this whole "Heather attacked Lucas" ret-con. Someone obviously pointed out to the writers that Lucas and Bobbie had NOTHING to do with the motivation they established for Paul's killing spree. They had no plausible way to tie those two in, so they had to go back afterwards and write a last-minute (and kind of sloppy) explanation using all-purpose nutcase Heather. Most of the time when they have plot holes like this, they just ignore them and hope viewers will forget; in this case, they likely felt they had to do [I]something [/I]to salvage the mess[I]. [/I]I found the whole thing weak, and the resolution was a letdown because no one really knew or cared about Susan and her plight was totally off-screen. It was a waste of screen time and we lost Sabrina to it, which doesn't help. Lucas may have survived, but I wonder if he and Brad will ever return from this "extended honeymoon" they've been on since...July? [/QUOTE]
