:lol: But it's a little too early - maybe when the show reached it's 15th season! Plus, I will feel bad for Lucy. In SVU, Elliot (the lead detective) is happily married since the show started but now he's having problems with his children. It might be a good story line for Danny in the future. Maybe we don't need to wait that long. Who knows when we get season 8, Lucy might be 12 already! :lol:
S8? Nah, waaaayy too long
:lol: I'd rather they split them up sooner rather than later myself, but even for Lucy -- at the time, she's only two or three. I mean, I'd feel bad for her anyway, but it
would be better to have her parents break up when she has few-to-no solid memories, as opposed to when she's older and used to them being together. Plus, it would be cool to see Lindsay (and Danny, in the likely event that they share custody) handle single-parenthood while she's young, because it'd also mean watching them handle it separately as she grows up: like Catherine and her daughter on CSI.
Regarding Rikki's return, I'm not expecting it to happen this season or at all, just a wish. A reason for her return? I'm thinking one day Danny receives a call, surprisingly it's from Rikki asking for his help. She is in prison and she wants to get out. Danny agrees to help and keeps it a secret from Lindsay, Mac and the rest of the team but Adam. Or other much better story! :lol:
guffaw::luvlove:Adam! Sorry, I'm just picturing him in that situation, the only one who knows:guffaw
LOL, anyway -- I'd be good with her coming back because she needs Danny's help. But, while imo Rikki was a pretty decent character in her own right, one of the main reasons she was there was to split Danny and Lindsay. (The other reason, being a physical representation of Danny's guilt, doesn't apply much anymore since that guilt seems to have vanished.) So I have to agree with others that if they were going to bring her back, it'd be fairly pointless unless the show had either that breakup in mind, or a parallel-to-Ruben situation with Lucy in mind (which would be another good and relevant reason, but I think would lead to a DL-split anyway
). It'd be like bringing Peyton back for no reason whatsoever. Yes, it seems like no reason
now, since TPTB've changed plans, but she was initially there to either indicate that Mac was (or wasn't) over his first post-Claire relationship, and thereby capable of moving on healthily (or not). Either way, Peyton was originally relevant. [I still don't think the storyline was one that absolutely had to be done in S6, but as far as Mac's development goes, I can see how it was probably relevant.]
A second cop-out would be completely nauseating with Rikki, though -- Danny should've stuck with her the first time and left Lindsay free -- so they'd be smarter to keep to their guns this time if they went there at all. Maybe the lies and hiding-stuff could get to Lindsay (I know it'd get to me), put a strain on their marriage, then they call it quits.
....Yea yea yea, I know I'm wishful-thinking here, but I think it
could happen
(in a way that wouldn't even require a lot of drama if they handled it carefully) Again, they've done crazier. I'm realistic, I know they probably won't here, but they have before.
