One Life: Why did they burn down the diner?

Question

It doesn't seem to fit any storyline.

Answer 1

david vickers burnt it down. not on purpose though he was burning the 10 million dollar check from clint i think it was

Answer 2

Either they needed a reason to re-decorate (it was outdated) or they needed a reason for David to skip town again as he was afraid of it being discovered he caused the fire by leaving the burning check in the ashtray.

I don't think it was David's fault, but he thought it might be.

Answer 3

It was simply a way to let David leave with a decent reason.  I think that's all there is to it.

Answer 4

i have to agree with what everyone else is saying.  part of it was an exit for david, and another part of it was to start a story with a martinez' character.  i also read somewhere a rumor that maybe they're trying to faze out the vegas.

Answer 5

It was David's exit storyline, they needed some reason for him to skip town.  I'm sad they burned it down though... I hope it is back soon. (And of course I want David to return, as well!)

I also think they did it so that Gigi and Brody would have to work together at Rodi's.

Answer 6

It seemed to serve the purpose of highlighting the extended absence of Antonio and Christian.

Answer 7

what i think what is going to happen with that is that tina likes chris allot because he cares for sarah right i think she might be the one to help get the diner back up with a anonymous donation you think  from her diamonds.

Answer 8

To drive another story, what has been making rounds on the net is that there is story coming up for Carlotta. A Martinez joining the show soon is said to be a big part of it, but I have also heard he is Langston's family as well!
