Sucks that it sounds like he's getting the Steve and Kayla treatment.

This all makes me wonder about the "great storyline" that BD was promised when Lucas returned from rehab.

While it wouldn't surprise me to learn that Corday lies directly to actors' faces, it does make me wonder whether Lucas was originally supposed to be a big part of Maggie's upcoming s/l. Maybe Lucas was supposed to be the person who got injured in Maggie's rumored car accident, but the s/l was changed to involve Will instead of Lucas....which led to the re-cast of Will Horton and the firing of BD.

The wording of the SOD thing makes me worry it's a non-exit, Steve & Kayla style. Sounds like Bryan might have been informed that he'd taped his last show, which hardly suggests an exit story.
Very good, but sad, point there.
Unfortunately, I think that is how it will go, just another vet that simply vanishes into thin air with a mention here or there until nothing at all.

That definitely sounds like a Steve/Kayla sort of exit.

Lame...but I guess we should've seen it coming given he's been made into the de facto babysitter since he returned earlier this month. I bet we will get mentions of him watching the kids from time to time :hmmph: .

I'm very sorry for the Lumi fans. Really, really sorry.

I loved BD on the show, and I agree that the show won't be the same without him. You know, every day, it becomes more and more uninteresting for me to watch. I agree with Aimees. Our beloved characters and couples have been destroyed, and there just aren't any to invest in anymore.

I'm still hoping for Ejami, which is why I'm still watching. It was my opininon long ago that Rafe came on the show to replace Lumi, but I didn't think that Lucas/BD was going to be let go because of it. Now I hate GG being on the show even more. I can see where they're going now... Lucas is going to die, Rafe will adopt his kids and marry Sami. No thank you, I'll pass.....

Viewers watch the show to be entertained, not tortured.

I wonder if this plays into the aftermath of the big Maggie story, and the "reason" why Will needed to be recast. To bad for BD and the character of Lucas they always write him into a corner.

This really doesn't upset me. Though, it does suck for BD, who's been nothing but loyal to the show. For his sake, I hope he doesn't get a non-exit a la Steve and Kayla, but it wouldn't surprise me if that's what happens.

Can't say I'm too disappointed. His character has been boring. But, it sucks that he just came back on screen and now has been given the boot.

You summed it up better than me actually. Goodbye and good riddance, Dattilo!

Why did they even bother bringing him back from rehab? This show does thing at times that amazes me. I am sooo sad now...I hate this. This sucks the big one.....go ahead have Safe carry DOOL for as long as it lasts...I'll be done pretty much...nothing left for me to invest in....I can keep watching for Vivian but then realistically I don't think I can stomach the rest of the stories....Days lied to him, his fans and have really made a great attempt to dismiss anything that remotely resembles Lucas next to Sami....so I can by that as long as they kill him and he's gone. I don't want Sami to refer to him as being in Africa, or out of town or whatever...have superRafe play step daddy to Allie and Will and let's be done with it.
I sooooo agree with you! :cheer: Days just doesn't seem to care about alienating their long time fans! :frustration:

Write to the addresses earlier in this thread. Won't guarantee Bryan gets his job back, but you can at least voice the general disrespect the show has had for some of the veteran characters.

That's what I figure. He'll just be offscreen until it's totally inconvenient and unbelievable and then he'll suddenly be "out of town."

Very true. Which is worse, having an exit story with a final ending or nothing like they got?

Guess I won't be getting my Lumi reunion. Can't say I'm surprised though. I just hate that it sounds like it's gonna be a non-exit. He'll be mentioned but not seen. That sucks. The only time I like Lucas is in Sami's orbit but I'm still sad to see him go. Bad move DAYS. :flipoff:

I was waiting for her reaction.

I guess it's looking good that he will get a shitty Steve/Kayla kind of exit. How sad.

I hate that no one seemed to know it was his last day either. They couldn't even say goodbye. Ali sort of made it sound like she knew he would be leaving, just that she didn't know it was his last day.

I'm sorry for his fans but I'm personally glad he's gone. I've watched DAYS since 1997 and Lucas has always been my least favorite character. IMO he's a mediocre actor who always seems angry or depressed. Of course it could be chalked up to the writing for his character, but if that's the case, no writer has ever written well for him LOL

I just wish Chloe and Daniel were leaving with him.

After all... tomorrow is another day!

Maybe BD didn't want the last day cake and all of that and didn't want to make everyone sad in his last day at work so he didn't tell them?

I hope that's what happened and not just TPTB fired him in the shittiest way possible.
