Days: Lucas has been rumored to be leaving, but his portrayer assures it's not true. Insiders say he will be gone for just a few story dictated months. Days made a play to get Kyle Lowder back, but it didn't work.

Over at DOOL, the future of fan favorite Bryan Dattilo (Lucas) seems to be in question. Reports that the powers that be notified Datillo that they wouldn't be renewing his contract, which expires in early 2008, spread like wildfire across the daytime community. The actor is said to have announced the news in the makeup room, suprising his co-stars. Then he cleared out his dressing room. Digest spoke to Dattilo, who insists he isn't going anywhere. "I never like to say things are or aren't going to happen, especially in this business and the way my life has gone," he shrugs. "It seems like things just happen without my control. I don't know what the future brings, but as far as leaving, it's just a rumor. It isn't true." As for the dressing room, he explains, "I was cleaning out my room and people thought that was odd and maybe that's how it started, but it's just a rumor."

Insiders tell a different story, however. "Bryan is going to be written out for a few months as part of an upcoming story and then will be back,"says one. "His exit is not permanent."

Summary about Kyle Lowder:

They wanted KL back to ignite the Brady/Chloe/Phillip triangle. He was spotted at the DAYS set recently, but won't be making a more permanent comeback anytime soon. CBS wants him in their soap stable.

A few MONTHS?! Wow, I had no idea he'd be gone that long!

Ooooh, and don't even get me started on DAYS trying to get Kyle Lowder back from B&B. If you should be trying to steal anyone back from B&B, it should damn well bloody be Eileen fracking Davidson, you idiot Corday! :angry:

Well, I am looking forward to a Lucas-free few months, but it means we will probably see even more of Ejami. So, poo poo. I guess it is good and bad.

So when he wasn't leaving he was crying "they're firing me" and when he is leaving he's claiming he's not. Okay, Bryan!!

The cover does say LUCAS OUT!! So we'll see. One can only hope he's gone for a few months if not longer.

I will be very greatful to TPTB if my screen is Lucas free for months. I am so sick of his scowling and screaming. Lucas is a character I can only take in small doses, and every since Hs took over he has been shoving him down my throat. I have had my fill of Kate's cherished spawn. I need a vacation from him.

I know at least when Lucas is on there are 3 that divide up the majority of the airtime. Now they will just give the majority to EJ and Sami. Very sickening.

I think it's a cruel joke. It's got people who don't like him happy, people who do upset, it's a cruel, cruel thing. One or both sides are going to be devistated.

I actually wouldn't mind a bit of Lucas Free Days. I am just getting tired of him always talking down to people. Even when he was talking to his mother, it came off like a nagging wife.

Lucas has definitely been a little too pious for my tastes. Especially considering everything he's done in the past. A break from him will be nice. Too bad Sami and E.J. aren't going with them. The show could use a breather from all three of them.

Yay! :D

Hopefully this short-term absence will turn into something long-term.

As for Kyle Lowder, I'm glad they didn't get him. I don't want to see him back on DAYS. I hated him as Brady, and if they had to bring Brady back, I would hope they could get someone more interesting. Lowder is so damn boring. I don't see the talent that everyone else seems to notice.

I don't want that to be true..Like or not Lucas is a very familiar face and a longtime actor on the show..Days would be stupid to get rid of him...Also he's one of the few Horton's we have left..He's been on almost every day this past year, so i'm sure BD won't mind a short break..

While true, I would rather see Lucas out of the picture, than to be written so poorly and out of character. Hogan doesn't get Lucas, and he has turned this character into a boring prop for Sami and EJ. Maybe if they would finally, and for the last time, get Lucas away from Sami, and into his own light, then, I'll enjoy him more.

Spoilers have been saying Lucas was going to Europe to spend Christmas with Will. I don't see that it means Bryan is leaving. :shrug:

I bet he goes to jail for Will. They will bring Gerse back for a few days and he will go to jail for his son. Either that or he will be presumed dead in the big Dimera/Brady event Casiello hinted at and that will bring Ejami closer.

I actually don't like this in a way. Lucas may be annoying but he is a Horton and one of the few left. I wonder if they may just be testing the waters and seeing if Ejami can work with him out of the picture. He better not be gone for good. Under Ed, the writing for Lucas at times has been alot better. I guess it will be nice to get a break in a way.

I'm not worried about the balance because they have toned down a bit on Lucas/Sami/EJ in recent weeks. If anything, this may help us to see Bo/Hope/Marlena more.

As for Lowder, I am sure that was for John's funeral and not a long-term thing since the Chloe return was in the works since August and it was always rumored she would return for a story with Philip so I think they always knew Brady wouldn't be returning long-term.

This is shocking news though for Days with the Lucas issue though.
