In one of RA's interviews, he said he'd like a "quiet" death for the character, and Kudos would've had to have discussed this with him around the time of the interview (or before). As much as I'd love an escape for him, and I WOULD, I do think Lucas stepped off the roof. But (as posted elsewhere) a scream and a car alarm don't mean a body. There were the footsteps (...Bo picks up the packet of straws...)

Well, I suppose suicide is quiet compared to some of the other characters' exits...but hold on to your packet of straws! No body = hope (however small...sigh)

I guess if their own writers and crew were confused, it's not shocking why this storyline seemed to have confused itself!

What even prompted them to come up with this series?? They a) took an extremely loyal and well-liked character & ruined his whole image, b) threw in a random girl nobody really understood (or even cared much for...?), keeping in line with this Lucas/John-must-have-girl-problems theme, c) were NOT sparing with the distribution of plot holes, and d) completely confused their crew, writers, and audience.

I sincerely hope s10 can pull back from this... (what's an appropriate word?) debacle of a season! I have a total urge to discredit s9 and try and keep the golden image of Lucas alive in my head....the character was enjoyable and he deserved a better exit, bottom line.
