I'm seriously beginning to worry about Nucky Thompson

[graywarrior]

[csziggy]

1. What is a Nucky Thompson?

[NYC_SKP]

2. Well, it's not just you who's worried....

hi:

[graywarrior]

4. What happened to her, anyhow?

[femmocrat]

18. She walked out on Van Alden, leaving him with the baby.

She supposedly went back to show biz. (Eddie Cantor had given her a script.) Is she coming back to AC?

[cliffordu]

16. WHO IS THAT!!!????

[NYC_SKP]

17. Library girl....

i did er.

[cliffordu]

21. YOU LYING SACK OF CRAP!!!

I seen ya! I KNOW what your hygiene issues are....

Just sayin'.....

[NYC_SKP]

22. well.

I didn't say it was a clean thing, or a conscious thing. In fact, i'm pretty sure I slept through it. Par for course!

[cliffordu]

23. Well......

[femmocrat]

19. She is a character on Boardwalk Empire.

Or was. She isn't on this year.

[graywarrior]

20. Yet...

[bamacrat]

30. Terrence Winter (the writer of the show) said Lucy is not coming back.

Her character was good for the nude scenes but didn't provide a lot other than to get in the way.

[graywarrior]

34. Do we know who the father of the kid is?

[bamacrat]

37. Van Alden. Which is why his wife left him.

He is living outside of Chicago.

[graywarrior]

38. No chance it could be Nucky's?

[bamacrat]

39. I doubt it.

Nucky had gotten married to Margaret Shroder before she got pregnant. When Nucky and Margaret got married Nucky was smitten with her and stopped all contact with Lucy...enter Van Alden (no pun I swear). The show really makes it seem like Van Alden's kid. She was a terrible character and I'm really glad she is gone. Other than her nude scenes she really bogged the show down.

[graywarrior]

40. Hmmm, I kinda liked her. She was trouble.

[antiquie]

3. The one that died in 1968?

I guess I don't get around much.

[graywarrior]

5. That was Nucky Johnson

Same thing, but different.

[dixiegrrrrl]

6. You mean the concussion?

or the fact all his supporters walked out on him?

[graywarrior]

7. Both

There's nothing worse than a republican mobster with a concussion and a bad attitude.

[HopeHoops]

8. Who?

[graywarrior]

9. This guy

[HopeHoops]

10. Still no clue. (Note: I don't watch TV)

[graywarrior]

12. You are lucky

[HopeHoops]

29. I shut it off 30 years ago.

[Bertha Venation]

33. Gawd, just seeing that picture makes me want to

get involved in that show again. I know Nucky's a bad guy, but I love him.

[graywarrior]

35. Me, too, Bertha Venation!

He's a psycho and who can resist that?

[trof]

11. Nucky is mentioned in Jimmy Breslin's "Damon Runyon...A Life"

Just finished reading it and really enjoyed it.
I'm a Runyon fan.
Guy had an interesting life.

[graywarrior]

13. He did indeed!

And it was a long, interesting life.

[trof]

14. Have you read it?

Runyon died at 64 or 65.
Throat cancer.
The only treatment back then was to continually excise the tumors.
grim

Eddie Rickenbacker flew the airplane and Runyon's son scattered his ashes over Broadway.
Very fitting.

[graywarrior]

15. Haven't read it, but I will now. Been looking for something to read.

[ellisonz]

24. He'll be fine. Gyp Rosetti, not so much (tricorne hat not withstanding)

Only 3 more episodes this season. I really don't think Margaret and Owen will actually run away. I think Torrio will stand with Nucky.

[graywarrior]

25. Good, coz I'm fretting

[ellisonz]

27. Have another toddy and fret no more

[bamacrat]

31. I think Gyp will get killed in a gloriously gruesome way.

I doubt Margaret and Owen will run away either. After the explosion Nucky seems to need Margaret more which I think will cause her to stay. Owen is smarter than to take Nucky's woman.. he saw what happened to Jimmy, which was practically Nucky's son. I think Torrio will join Nucky and we will see Al really open up. I think Al will be the one to kill Gyp. Also look for Van Alden to potentially die, due to his recent dealings with Torrio's rival. Awesome show, I hate that HBO wait a whole year to bring out a new season, but if that is what it takes to make such a brilliant program then I guess I will live with that.

[annabanana]

26. Not to worry.. historically this guy never

went to jail and died of old age..

real guy

[ellisonz]

28. He was incarcerated from 1941-1945 for tax evasion.

[annabanana]

32. Hardly counts, considering.. . .n/t

[graywarrior]

36. Yeah, that's like time spent at the spa
