Sweet Dreams, Eric Darling

OH SMACKRELS! Margo's still hung up on Eric Mills? Eric Mills, of "the Mills Gallery" fame? Eric Mills has been out of the strip so long that he is before this blog's time (though you can check out a short history of his demise, as related by his Tibetan monk pals). I thought, what with her dalliances with Trey and Evan and Greg, that she was kind of past the whole Eric Mills thing, but I guess they were engaged and all, so he did leave a mark.

One thing I do admire about A3G is how it plays the long game. Like, remember how Ruby was all "ohhhh, Lu Ann, I missed you so much when you were in South Dakota!" and you're thinking to yourself "Really? Lu Ann? Her?" And then BAM, years later, turns out she's Lu Ann's mom. It makes that whole tearful wedding dress shopping thing make sense too!

P.S. Lu Ann still has dibs on the longest-burning torch, for her deceased fighter pilot husband, Gary. According to A3G history, he disappeared in Vietnam/Afghanistan/Iraq seven years ago.

Silly Greg! Doesn't he know you turn a passed-out drunk onto her side?

That is a tiny twin bed.

We never actually saw Eric die. It was just told in flashback by some one else. We also never saw his body. In SoapOperalandia that means he's still alive some where.
