Daddy's (unfortunately) home. Let the righteous posturing and Sami croc tears commence, Lucas (Bryan Datillo) is back! What a horrible, hideous way to interrupt the liquid hot and very consentual sex that was taking place between Sami (Alison Sweeney) and EJ (James Scott), than to have her sanctimonious, shrieking, jerk of a "one true love" show up at the DiMera mansion before EJ could properly give Sami that fabled second O...see I was talking about a second helping of Oreo cookies. Get your mind out of the gutter!  

I am so cotton-picking sick and tired of Lucas Roberts Horton possibly DiMera, possibly Vitale, possibly the son of the Milk Man, the Paper Boy and Danny Tanner from Full House! I never thought it was be possible for me to find a character more smug and condescending to a woman he claims to love than Josh Lewis  on Guiding Light. But at least the whole Madonna/Whore thing has always been part of Josh and Reva's mythology. Reva never thought she was good enough for Josh and although he loved taking her to bed, trusting her as his wife was never possible. What's that saying about trying to turn a whore into a housewife? Back to Lucas, what makes his constant berating of Sami so infuriating is that he's just like her! Yet one day he decided to climb up on a peak just outside of Green Mountain Lodge and forever look down his nose in judgement of Sami, that is when he isn't trying to jump her bones!

I really hope TPTB follow the chemistry, not to mention the resurgence of Sami's true character and nature that takes place when she's with EJ. I wanted to throw an apple at my screen when Lucas barked at Sami like she was a dog to go get HIS daughter. Okay, so it was a Hershey bar, big deal, I start low carb tomorrow. Honest.  Bryan Datillo is awesome as Lucas and I am glad to have him back on my screen, but not, I repeat, not with Sami. They work great as mortal enemies, just as long as Sami is giving it just as good as she gets, but as a couple they have never worked. Why not try Lucas out with Ava or Morgan? Sami would hate having another woman in her kid's life and this would cause rich conflict that keeps them tied together, but not in this tired, forced romance.

Samantha Jean Brady  is not some whimpering willow, desperately in need of love and affirmation from the likes of Lucas Horton. The creep told her to move on, so she did. And from the looks of things, she damn enjoyed it!    

For all the Bryan Dattilo fans wondering when we’ll be seeing him back on Days of our Lives as Lucas Roberts Horton, the short-ish answer is – not even the actor knows… for sure!  In a recent online chat with his fans, Bryan admitted that he wasn’t exactly sure when Lucas will be making his return appearance, but that he was definitely coming back.  As we all know, Lucas is currently serving an 8 year prison sentence after confessing to shooting EJ (James Scott) during his marriage to Sami (Ali Sweeney) and pleading guilty to all charges.  But did he actually do it? 

This was one of the burning questions posed to the actor during the chat.  Along with answering this, Bryan had a few things to say regarding possible future storylines for his character, as well as giving some insight into what he himself would like to see happen for Lucas.  He also commented on and rated former Head Writer Hogan Sheffer’s storylines during his tenure at Days.

You can read his response, along with all the other questions and answers (all helpfully highlighted in bold), on Bryan's Official Message Board.
