Is he dead or something?
They keep mentioning the whole family together again… at least the living ones. Perhaps it’s implied that Tommy has passed.
The running joke that has gone on for years is that he went upstairs to take a nap and never returned… or he’s hiding in the attic with (insert whatever child is instantly SORAS’d at that time)…
Jenn
them ever hanging a Christmas ornament for him either. Maybe he went with Don Craig to the mailbox and they disappeared together. I suppose Cassie and lots of others are with them too.
I find it quite funny that Laura was so hateful to Kate when I thought that she herself had an affair with Mickey (Bill’s brother!). Correct me if I’m wrong. But Maggie sure didn’t seem to hold such a grudge. The Laura character never did anything for me. Didn’t she sleep with Jack, too, her son-in-law?
but dropped characters with no explanations are just an example of TPTB thinking, once again, that they are smarter than us, or simply that our feeble old (ahem) minds just won’t remember. So, we say to you Mr. Smartypants Corday, in a word ………. RESEARCH!
In my memories Laura never had an "affair". It was Mickey that had an affair with his secretary.
Laura and Bill were dating when Mickey became interested in Laura. Bill left town and Mickey and Laura got married. After Bill came back he got drunk and raped Laura but didn’t remember it. That’s when Laura got pregnant with Mike. Nobody but Bill, Laura and Tom Horton knew about the rape and that Mickey was sterile so they all knew Mike was really Bill’s son but decided to let Mickey believe he was the father. (that was one of the longest stories and best kept secrets on Days and they made it work without shoving it down our throats every day)
Mickey had an affair first with his secretary. It was after several separations that Bill and Laura realized they were in love and Laura planned to divorce Mickey to marry Bill but I don’t remember any affair. Mickey had a heart attack and stroke and wound up with amnesia and left town and that’s when Bill and Laura got closer and Mickey found Maggie.
EDITED TO ADD: I do agree Laura was out of line with Kate but in her defense wasn’t it revealed years later after Kate came to Salem that it was seeing Bill and Kate in a compromising situation that caused Laura to go over the edge and end up in the institution for close to 20 years. Yes, another rewrite of history since there was no Kate before and Laura snapped after Jennifer was born and started seeing her dead mother telling her to kill herself.
and THAT was one of the worst storylines ever. Sometimes we forget about these little tidbits when we’re casting stones at other characters.
