SOD:Lucas Confesses!

The walls close in on Lucas this week, which prompts him to tell the truth about what really happened of Sami and EJ's wedding.

The week begins with Bo intercepting the package containing Lucas's gun. Lucas insists to Sami that he had nothing to do with EJ's shooting, but tells his mother a different story. "Kate says that she is happy that she is off the hook and Lucas says 'Well great, now that your off the hook, I have to tell you what really happened. I did it and I need to get out of here,' previews BD, "She kind of panics and says they'll work out, but Lucas says that he will go to jail if he's put on trial. Kate says 'You were just trying to shoot the man who raped your wife and stole your wife and happiness,' but Lucas out that that won't hold up in court and tells her he has to leave Salem." To bad Bo confiscated his passport.

BD admits the plot point was unexpected. "I was suprised that they would actually give Lucas the guts to do it as a character," he laughs. "All of his prior behavior to the shooting was self control. They showed the gun, but Lucas knew it wasn't right. He has killed before and didn't want to live with that again. Sami was trying to convince him that it didn't matter if she was married to EJ-she would still be with Lucas, so I didn't know this was coming."

So, did he really do it? "I play it like he really did it, says the actor. "I am not one of those people who asks or reads ahead, so I really don't know. It could be a big red herring, but I hope Lucas did it. He wants to get out of town because of it, so if he didn't do it, it's going to be a big bummer that he'd think of leaving his family because of it. He seems to be sure that the bullet that went into EJ's back came from his gun and they are very adament about repeating it with that wording." And, BD adds, Lucas does hate EJ enough to want him dead. "Lucas wouldn't be that affected if EJ died," he points out. "He's cold blooded enough to do and he's been through enough to do it. I'd like to think that he has that capability, but it's so hard because I'm so used to them writing the character of Lucas in such a victimized way that's it hard for me to imagine that they would give him that much strength. If they did, great. Kudo's to Hogan Sheffer."

Angie - thanks so much for typing that up!
I must admit that I didn't think it would turn out to be Lucas! Will, maybe. But Lucas doesn't have the balls.
I just don't understand how people on that show can SWEAR to not have done something...but always ends up having done it.

The writing is something to be desired!

Thanks again!

Thanks Angie! BD baffles me...I hardly see Lucas as a victim of anything. The way He bullies Sami, bullies his mother, and just plan screams at everyone does not lead me to believe he is or has ever been a vicitim in this sl. If he had not cut his mother out of his life she would not have schemed with Ej...And if Lucas did not put his mother before Sami he would not have divorced her to save his mommy after the fake attack. :angry: blah, just can not stand this character....

I am happy that BD is enjoying the new SL twist though. Good for him. He sounded so miserable before. And I hope Lucas really was the shooter. I like this idea better then him covering for Will.

I have always seen the Sami saga as a pissing contest for Lucas...He only wanted her back because someone else wanted Sami, and he/Lucas was alone after Carrie left him. I never saw it as a love story. Any other time on this show and Lucas would have dumped her on her ass. He stuck around because IMO Ej is what Lucas wants to be. This a case of the Green Eyed monster.

After all... tomorrow is another day!

I don't know what to think about any of this stuff.

For me, this feels like the opposite of the Drake thing because there are reassurances that Lucas is coming back and Bryan is saying that it's not true that Lucas is gone for good.

So since this show always seems to do the opposite of what they are telling their fans, does that mean the show is lying to Lucas fans and he's really gone? :shrug:

I still think Lucas is just confessing because he needs to protect Will...

I couldn't help but spoil myself for this.

At least one of them is going bye-bye, if only temporarily, although I'd rather look at Bryan over James. :lol:

So do I and I think we will see that play into the Sami/EJ angle somehow as well.

I do like this and I have quite enjoyed this whodunit. Lucas has felt more like himself of late and at least this whodunit has involved major players and hasn't been dragged out too much. I think no matter what Lucas is heading for jail, whether he is covering for Will or he did it himself and that will factor into BD leaving.

I guess he could just leave town too. Either one.

I do agree with Bryan on the victim thing. His character has come off looking like a loudmouth pest at times and I think he sees himself as a victim of the writing, especially when the writers decide to do a round of Ejami pimping for a bit. It's a shame because most of the year it's gone back and forth and all three characters have suffered. He has showed signs of improvement under Scott and the past few days has been like the Lucas of the past so, hopefully, we see more improvement.

If the shooter was Will, whether or not Lucas covers for him, anyone think that could be the turning point for Sami? She may actually see the light and return to her family?

imo all three have been victims of the writing - just as viewers have been.

So right now for me the question is what might give us Sami back - something I can only see it happening if she's on her own or with EJ. On her own might mean a scheming yet powerless "old Sami". With EJ she could scheme on her own and with him, and have the power, support, appreciation and love she needs to develop the self esteem she's never had.

I don't like the Sami we've seen since she got back with lucas - but I've not liked a lot of the writing for lucas or EJ either. With BD I'm lost and not even going to try to figure out what Days is doing (ditto with Drake), but I did like BD's (earlier)thoughts on a storyline where he wasn't tied to Sami's panties and where the character was developed away from her.

The sami/lucas pairing made both of them deplorable. I don't care what EJ may or may not have done and am sick of hearing the same bs (about lucas and/or about EJ). AS and JS are magic together and since reality tends to bite, I want to be distracted in a positive way so I hope Days brings it on already.

I don't think the shooter is Will.

I think the shooter is Colleen who mistook EJ for Santo.

Or something nonsensical.

And it will tie into John coming back.

I guess it could tie into John coming back but I doubt it was Colleen.

That whole Roman and Bo exchange in the shack about the snack food and beer and how they said it was like a kid was there...I mean, Will was arrested for drinking that night. It all just adds up and had to be put out there for more then a red herring since bullet remnants were there.

I hate it, but I think Will's most likely the shooter too.
